Looked up the series and surprised it didn't get a release in the U.S. Bummed about that.

Although it did get a short streaming stint on Daisuki, it's a series with hundreds of episodes aimed at young girls and made to sell cards and CDs. I can't blame licensors for not finding it appealing.
It's like if Love Live was much, much longer and not aimed at an audience with disposable income. It got big in Japan but, short of 4kids'ing it, I don't know how they would have marketed it to a western audience.

I absolutely love Love Live though, lol .. Have the bluray sets, posters and shirts. So yeah, I probably would like this one.

I love Aikatsu myself. It's all been fansubbed if you're willing to watch it that way.
