(I watched as this came out, but obviously didn't have an account then. So review time is now! Wheee!)
I gave Heroine Tarumono an 8. That is how much I enjoyed it. Is that how much you'll enjoy it? If you are a Honeyworks fan, very probably! If not? Who can say! This story is pretty straightforward: shojo, school, friendship, idols, a female lead who is just freaking trying her best, ok??? If it doesn't hook you, then it doesn't hook you. I wouldn't say you're 'missing out' by skipping it.
(you should watch "Itsu Datte Bokura no Koi wa 10 centi Datta"! long ass title
...
I know. it's good Haniwa content)
Story: It was so fun to see my beloved MVs become actual connecting plot. I enjoy how LipxLip becoming friendly with Hiyori is a real slow burn.
Art: I lovelovelove Yamako's designs and artwork, and I don't really think they were done justice here. The animation isn't great, but it isn't like jarringly bad or anything. The makeup on characters looks pretty tragic and FT4 is especially unsightly. Not Juri though you will never catch her slipping.
Sound: All-star cast. Everyone is incredible. I'm never not stunned by how good Zakki and Ucchi's vocals are. Was so happy when we got special EDs too!! I love Honeyworks' music so of course I liked the songs. (I miss Honeyworks Premium Live...)
Characters: Obviously the highlight for me. It was just fun to see all the characters. 1-1 has always been my fav class and when Kodai and Juri became a thing... girl... I lost my mind (in a good way. Love them) Hiyori and Hina being buddies is so awesome. I was bummed at the introduction of Nagisa. Because I am a HiyoMona truther!!! Haniwa give us a gl plotline that isn't unrequited love urrrrh.
Will we ever get a Sota x Akari animation project? Is it too late to hope for that? (yeah...) Fingers crossed for FT4 eventually.
