Day 12: Favorite Aqours Year Group

1st Years

Unlike µ's, none of my top three (as of now), are first years. That begs the question: why? Well, looking at each individual year group, I don't feel a strong vibe really coming off of any of them, both second and third years. Part of the issue is that I have mixed feelings about the members of those year groups, so it does make it difficult to like them as a whole.

One reason I love the first years is that seems so full of youth and energy. They really seem like they're making the most of they're high school life, and truly enjoy being idols, which is great to see. The dynamic that they as well is fairly entertaining, even though that dynamic is basically taking pity on Yoshiko (that's half of her character anyway, though). I'm not super keen on Hanamaru, but once upon a time, long, long ago, she was indeed best girl. Alone, I don't like her character that much, but paired with the other first years she's much better. Ruby and Yoshiko are easily my favorites, each for my their own reasons. Ruby's character development in S2 was a good boost to her overall character that easily bumped her into my top four. Yoshiko, well, I just like her. While she is the epitome of comic relief, I do believe that she is a solid character. I'll be ranking Aqours members in a few days, so I'll save the super in-depth stuff for then.
