30 Days of Love Live! Challenge
I've been waiting a while to do this, and since it's finally November, the time has come! I started playing/watching LL on 11/14/16, and I figure commemorating those four years is a good enough excuse to do one of these lol. For this challenge, I'll be using a combination of one made by @CagedGalaxy, and another that I don't know the source for (sorry!), along with my own additions to fit what I wanna talk about; I'll still link the original challenges to credit the makers.
Day 1: Best/least favorite from each group
I feel I should mention: don't get mad if your girl isn't at the top or is at the bottom. Everyone likes their best girl for one reason or another, and that's what makes LL so great: the diversity. That said, just don't go ad hominem on me lol.
Favorites
µ's: Umi/Honoka/Eli. Though to be honest, I love pretty much every member of µ's except for two of them. For more on Umi, see my Umi birthday post from earlier this year.
Aqours: Chika/Dia/Mari. I actually think Aqours has more weak characters than the other groups, but in turn has Chika to level it out. Chika is seriously amazing, and without her Aqours would be kinda dull imo.
Nijigaku: Kasumi/Rina/Ai. Nijigaku was a nice breath of fresh air after Aqours, and much like µ's, they're all really good! However, I'm waiting until after the anime to re-rank and reassess Nijigaku, so for now this is where they stand. I can't say that I really love Kasumi, but she's been a pretty fun character to watch, and both Diamond and ☆Wonderland☆ are some of my favorite Nijigaku solos.
Least Favorites
µ's: Maki and Rin. Here's the issue with Maki: too much tsundere. I like a little bit of tsun as much as the next guy, but every time I re-watch SIP, I can never help but think how too over-the-top it is. Rin on the other hand has the issue of not having a presence at all. Sure she gets Ep. 5 in S2, but that's it. Even then, I love everyone in µ's to some degree, so I definitely don't hate them!
Aqours: You/Hanamaru/Kanan. You is okay, but I've never really felt strongly about the character, and if I had to choose like or dislike, it'd be closer to the latter. Maru is an interesting case. She used to be best girl, but she fell off after S2 because it felt like she was more of a gimmick than anything. Fret not Maru fans, later on during the challenge I'll be giving her some love! But then there's Kanan. Out of every LL girl, Kanan is dead last (sorry Kanan fans). I just don't like her. I don't know why I dislike her so much, but I do.
Nijigaku: Karin(?). Again, can't really say who I like or dislike until after the anime, but Karin has found somehow found her way down to last on my rankings. I guess you could technically put Shioriko down here too, but I don't know enough about her to say either way.
