Nico is my favourite. When I started playing SIF, I didn't know there was an anime so I chose based on looks, and thought Nico was the cutest, so I went with her. Nico is the reason why I discovered there was an anime, because I went on her wiki page! And then, I loved the Nico Nii, how she was insecure behind that noisy personality and how she tried to look good in her siblings eyes just so they wouldn't be disappointed and her enthusiasm
Same! I found like a meme "Nico Nico Nii" the description didn't said what anime it is so I searched Nico Yazawa episode 1, which brought me to love live sunshine, I was quite upset since nico is not there. When I watched further more, I'm starting to see Nico on some episodes. I searched "love live ep 1" which brought me to episodes of love live sip (I just told my story how I was brought to Idol hell so one more time "NICO BEST GIRL"
Umi is my favorite, but I do agree the writers did kind of did nothing with her...she felt more like Side comic relief with her anxiety....which COULD'VE BEEN AN INTERESTING STORY TO LOOK AT!! Also, Umi doesn't really doesn't get her own episode. I can count at least one episode where one u's girls gets the center....but Umi? All her "focused" episodes is shared by other members making it more like group episodes and she doesn't even get that much development. Still, her personality, beauty, and voice make her my favorite Love Live character and waifu in general. NO SHAME!!
Hanayo is best girl, and I like her because she's so cute and plain, she definitely doesn't deserve any of the hate she gets. Hanayo is my cute little rice ball and everytime she feels uncomfortable or cries I want to hug her so bad ;w; I just can't stand my waifu being sad ❤️
I love Hanayo so much, I can't understand at all why people dislike her. And yes, I love her Love Marginal solo! (Also have you heard her solo of Wonderful Rush? That fast bit in the middle is the CUTEST thing I've ever heard)
nico is my best girl because of many reasons 1. she is so cute in her design 2. she was my first ur slg nico 3. i actually like her singing voice as it fits her 4. her backstory is heartbreaking 5.she is one of the most developed characters of the girls 6. i love nicos solo song from the school idol diary event. 7. her comedy is really funny like popping up during muses first concert 8. her cards in sif are great 9. she works well off the other members and 10. NICO NICO NI
Umi is my best girl, I love the moments she has in the series and the glorious facial expressions she makes. I also love how disciplined she is and acts as the disciplinarian when Honoka or the other Muse girls get a little carried away. That little mini character development she had about being afraid to talk in front of people and get in her comfort zone really resonated with me; that part in episode three where she came out with he gym pants and the uniform on, really just put her on the top of my list. Her voice is also amazing, which is one of the reasons why I greatly enjoyed "Wild Stars". After Umi, would definitely be Hanayo for me, I would explain why I love Hanayo, but you've seemed to got that covered.
How have I not discovered this channel before, some of the best editing I've seen on something that is Love Live related, I've only just got to the 7 minute mark but can't believe Nico Nico Nii is Nico Nico Ninth. Can't wait to see more! subbed
Thanks so much for the kind words! Hahaha, as I said in the video, I still like Nico a lot! Just hard to choose between all those fudge cakes ;) Hope the rest of the channel lives up to your expectations! Glad to have you on board!
ErynCerise I look forward to it, the rest of the list was great, can't wait to see the Aqours one and of course I understand that all the characters are great, so much so that I'll be cosplaying Nico at London Comic-con next year so if I remember, I'll link you some images
im going to admit this video made me tear up a bit since it made me remember all those moments in the anime _still internally crying_ i love eli the best because when i first got to know about this idol hell i thought she was the prettiest. i dont particularly have an interest towards blonds but it really stood out for me and i loved her hair style. it was simple, yet it really fit her and her "strict student council president" image. and also i love how iconic russians in anime have blond hair and blue eyes like "is this anime's way of stereotyping or-" then i heard her voice and was like hOLY BALLS NANJO FRIPSIDE and pretty much died from toaru opening songs feels eli has a really pretty voice and its pretty smooth. plus she can hit high and low notes really well without either of it sounding forced and like you said eryn, it blends really well with the slightly nasal voice maki has and the shrill, slightly forced sounding voice nico has. next, i really emphatised with eli's background story(nico's too, but i had a deeper connection with eli's). i could totally understand how it was like to work so hard at something you were so passionate on and something you loved, only to "fail" and because of that one failure, you just... completely give up on that passion you used to love. it's really heartbreaking for someone to strive so hard and to just give up. i myself went through something similar, except it was with singing. well luckily i picked myself back up and now im slowly going back to loving my own singing voice c: //back to eli i love her catchphrase "khorosho", the way nanjo says it is super ccuuttee~ it made her foreign character stand out more //well it just adds on to her already foreign looks and i like that in the anime, i admit i didn't really like her character as the way she opposed to the whole school idol thing was a bit too strong for me. but when you know her story and rationalize her thoughts and feelings along with what she went through, you could understand why she thinks that way and that she doesn't want to go through a second failure. she went harsh on them because she's afraid they are going to fail and become as affected as she was, and thats really looking out for your juniors. if i remember correctly deep down inside she wanted to join and help muse but she was too scared to face failure again. again, a lot of us can understand this and the empathy i have with her character about this is a lot. lastly, -holy cow her cards in the game i cry because i dont even have a quarter of them but hey at least i have tricoloured ur of her- my favourite ur and sr card of her respectively is probably job v2 and the latest jp medfest of her kitsune card //gosh darn it im a sucker for that// i think i'll stop here before i turn this into an essay xD and as much as i want to talk about the other girls i think i'll end up flooding the comment section so xD
My list: 1.Maki (I just love her) 2.Nozomi(She's basically my mom) 3.Hanayo(She's me) 4.Honoka(I really like her~) 5.Eli(Really like her backstory) 6.Kotori(I relate to her alot) 7.Umi(Her voice~) 8.Rin(Love her solo songs) 9. Nico(I love her cards) Btw: I ship Nozomaki, too >////
Don't kill me but Nico is best girl. Tbh, the first time I saw her in LLSIF, I caught myself staring at her for a few minutes. I was like, "Oh my god she's cute." And though her Nico Nico Niis are so overused and her selfishness can be a major setback for other people to like her (that's okay. I can agree so much with your reasons), I guess those flaws made me even like her more. I have a thing for characters who have so many flaws and make people so irritated that they want to strangle her or something. And it's because I, too, have made a million mistakes in my life and flaws. And like Nico, I turn people off. And like Nico (again), I am a big sister who wants nothing but the best for her sibling. Her way of hiding the fact that her idol days were done before is a clear example that Nico isn't perfect. And besides, her action was very realistic. Of all things that we care about, it's our pride and the way people look at us. So of course, to most people, believe it or not, the first thing we'd do is to cover our shame and live a lie. And just like the others, Nico has a good side. I mean come on guys. Mahoutsukai is basically a song about her making other people smile. And if that isn't the cutest thing you've ever seen or heard, then I don't know what is. Plus she's waifu material. She can literally do any household chore in a heartbeat. And then there's the few times in her side stories when Nico's words can light you up (example: that something that shines bright side story of hers. I had a breakdown on that day and her words just encouraged me so much). All in all, Nico is my best girl and I have a very personal connection with her ^^
Umi is my personal best girl because I have always been a more realistic, think it through kind of girl. I can't quite relate to the other girls that are so passionate and bubbly about literally everything. Umi is gorgeous like drop dead gorgeous and her voice just wow I can't even it's so perfect. She doesn't get the best SIF cards some times but that's okay because when her cards are beautiful they are BEAUTIFUL. I also love that she does archery (I used to as well) and that she is lyrical, I personally love writing so Umi is waifu :)
I actually found this video to be really interesting! My best girls are all in your bottom of the list but my two worst are your tops. Hearing you talk about what you like about Hayano and Eli was a nice dose of perspective. It made me see things in a character I might not have noticed or ignored. I didn't even think about how much leaving dancing would hurt Eli. She loved it so much and it must have been really devastated when she failed. I really loved your video and Im trying to make myself love all the girls. after all, they are still part of the group that I love, and without them it wont be the same. I hope I can come to love all the girls as much as I love Rin lol. Though there will always be a best girl for everyone. The reason Rin was my best girl is due to her insecurities with being feminine. I was a tomboy growing up and was always playing sports. So whenever I was put in skirts or dresses by my mom, my friends would pick on me so I relate to Rin alot. I actually love girly things but its so hard to get into it when ive been "tomboish" and "normal" for most of my life. Whenever I think about dressing up, I think about Rin and how she could do it, then so could I. Its a great feeling. Most people tend to choose the girl they relate to the most as their best girl so thats how Rin became my best (it used to be Maki like you lol). Eli is my "worst" but honesty its mostly because she haunts me whenever im trying to get Rin URs. Plus since everyone has worst best girls I feel the need to pick one too??? Like I said earlier, I just want to love all the girls cause they are all responsible for taking over my life
Hanayo is also my best girl!! It's because of the reasons you listed above, yes, but also because she is perhaps the most relatable character (to me) to ever grace the media. Her shyness, her lack of friends at the start of the series, her feeling that she just isn't enough, all resonate with me so much. Aside from that, Hanayo is also my precious child. She is adorable and deserves to be protected at all costs. She's cute, she wants to make other people smile the way she smiled, she is a supportive friend, and she was able to overcome her shyness in order to pursue her dreams. Honestly, Hanayo is everything I want to be and more. I love her so much and I'm glad that someone else loves her as much as I do.
my rank nico rin pana nozomi umi honk eli kotori maki aqours you yoshiko/yohane hanamaru riko dia ruby chika mari kanan ( temporary till we learn more about her) overall best idol nico best non muse/aqours alpaca
For me Kanan and nozomi and my favorites cuz they're both so chill like in the game when you poke them when you have them partnered to be on the main screen thy don't eventually start freaking out. And my favorite line from Kanan being "do you want a hug." And I'm like "ugh hell yeah I wanna hug get over here girl!" (Never out loud of course.)
My list: 1: Nicocchi♡ (god) 2: Nozomi♡ (washi washi >:D ♡) 3: Rin♡ (nya♡♡♡) 4: Umi♡ 5: Birb♡ 6: Honker♡ 7: Eli♡ 8: Maki♡ 9: Pana♡ I love all of them but this is my list ^^
Your look on Kotori really changed my view on her, I now realize that I share some of my feelings with her and you because I always try to be nice and positive towards other, even while I often feel really sad/depressed myself (I'm already getting therapy for this). I also need to go to a different school, and just like Kotori found it difficult to tell Honoka that she needs to leave the country, I find it difficult to tell my friends I will no longer see them at school and will meet up with them less. ~~ Also Hanayo being your best girl and you giving reasons to love her really made my day! She's so lovely and way too many people dislike her. ~~ Our top 10 is quite similar, Nico is way higher up and Eli somewhere in the middle but the most characters are on somewhat the same place. I also like that you explained reasons to like and dislike the characters, even though we both love every girl. ~~ Also I noticed Steven Universe (my fave cartoon), Pokémon (used to be my fave cartoon), Spyro (used to be my favorite game) and Stanley Parable (watched multiple gameplays) in your video and I think those things are indeed pretty awesome :).
Nozomi is my best girl because she's so pretty and I really enjoy her personality and she and Eli are my otp. Eli is second because her character arc is everything and her episode makes me cry every time I watch it. She's so amazing. Third is maki obviously because she's so cool and funny and I love me some tsunderes
I'm totally a NozoMaki shipper tooooo! So glad to hear you ship them! Also I totally agree on loving every girl and that double chocolate fudge cake analogy is spot on, something some of the more extreme "my girl is best girl and you're wrong if she isn't your best girl" people I've met don't seem to understand, I've found. Anyways, just wanted to tell you I appreciate how diplomatic and fair you were throughout this video and in ranking the girls! Oh, and in case anyone's curious my top three are Maki, Nozomi, and Eli/Umi.
Me: 1- Nicochi ! (god) 2- Sea, Umi voice is... Omg. 3- Makiiii ! Because the Santa Claus is real. (and i love tsundere) 4- Birb ! She's so cute and funny. 5- Panaaaa, I love rice too. 6- Nozomi, I like Nozomi but... Yes, wish-wish... Stop... 7- Eli ! I don't know why Eli is 7... But... Yeah, I like russian girl. 8- Honoka, I don't really like her but... I think... Her personnality is just... Stupid... But cute. (I love all of the member of u's so...) 9- Rin ! I think... She's just... Nya.
10/10 good opinions my list is super similar?? mine: 1. hanayo (my perfect daughter) 2. maki (she was my first best girl too! she just hasn't gone down as much in my esteem) 3. eli (the cards... so pretty...) 4. kotori (again, the cards. also i've seen various things that hint that she's kind of creepy under the adorable good friend facade which. i enjoy) 5. nozomi (middle of the pack. good solid girl who i like shipping w/ eli) 6. umi (see nozomi, including the shipping w/ eli part) 7. rin (i think i like her better than most people do because i appreciate how much hanayo loves her but yeah still relatively low) 8. honoka (i don't actually have a very good reason for her being this low?? i guess in my mind she's just Leader Girl it's the same problem i have w/ chika) 9. nico (i used to actively dislike her but now i really do like her! just she gets on my nerves sometimes)
You explained Eli fabulously. Eli is my best girl, and I relate to her most of the time. Being someone who gave up on something I love due to frustration because everything wasn't perfect, I relate to her dancing career fiasco, and her understanding of how she could do better. I JUST LOVE ELI SO MUCH! ;-;
I love your list. Mine is different, but I wanted to add why I too love Hanayo ( not best girl though). I credit her with why M's exists. She was the only one who actively tryed to make it to there first performance, and when she ran in frantic it helped encourage the 2nd years continue and sing for her. I also don't know if Maki and Rin would have joined if Hanayo didn't, and if they didn't Eli wouldn't have taken it seriously ( they also wouldn't have enough members for the club), and their dreams would have ended and the school would have shut down . I love her and I'm glad you appreciate her as well. p.s. love your channel!
9. Honk (I don't find her very relatable, personally) 8. Umi (I don't know why, but I didn't end up caring for her much. She's a good character, who I like, but she just doesn't stand out much to me) 7. Kotori (I love her, I just feel love everyone above her a bit more. I'm also not a huge fan of her voice) 6. Eli (She's got a great voice, and we pretty much share a name) 5. Hanayo (I can relate to her, her love for her friends and rice is great. also I wear glasses so... nice) 4. Rin (she's so cute, I also love cats. nya) 3. Maki (first of all I love tsunderes so bonus points there, I also really like her voice and she's cute) 2. Nozomi (Nozomi is cute, I actually really like her voice [I know a lot of people don't] and I will admit that I like the washi washi) 1. Nico (Nico Nico Nii! I just find her so cute, and while I can't really relate to who she is typically seen as, I feel kind of forgotten sometimes- I know that she is used as a comic relief when she's ignored but I guess I like that? I'm not sure. Anyways, she is seen as comic relief, but she's also really capable. I don't want this to be too long, so I'll just leave it at that I guess.)
Eli is my best girl because,, well i love basically everything about her. Her design, her backstory, her flaws, her problems and worries, her amazing voice, her strengths and values, her in general. My friend showed me the yume no tobira PV and i instantly was so mesmerized by her! She stuck out to me the most, she's DROP DEAD GORGEOUS, and her voice, oh my god her voice is so amazing and powerful! Arifurueta Kanashimi always manages to make me tear up! I watched the anime and she was so cold and stubborn, but if it wasn't BEING a stubborn person, muse wouldn't be where it is now. I mean, all the characters contribute muse's huge success, but she was the one who filmed them and posted the video of muse in the first place! While she did it show Honoka that people wouldn't care about the idol group, the fact that she was so stubborn and it took so much to convince her really brought out the best in muse in my opinion. Eli's arch and when she joined muse reduced me to the point of tears, no matter how many times i watch the anime, it never fails to make me cry. She took all the responsibility because she felt as if she's supposed to be cold and strict and stubborn and in that process, she just..lost herself and she didn't want to do what she wanted but what shes expected to do. When the group reached out and helped her break out of her cold, distant shell, it made me cry. That episode was so beautiful. Not just that, but how much she cares about her friends and her sister is so beautiful. I really relate with her on that matter though. I still, always want to make people proud of me and make my parents proud of me so much so that i barely do anything just for the sake of doing it, i barely do things for myself,... and i do also have a little sister that i care so much about and want the best for her. i know this is all over the place, but Eli is such an amazing character, and her SIF cards are so gorgeous!! I love every single eli card, she even looks good in the BASEBALL SET! Her baseball UR unidolized looks so soft and warm and her idolized IS SO SEXY LIKE DAMN GIRL IM NOT ONE FOR SPORTS BUT YOU ARE DROP DEAD GORGEOUS PLEASE HIT ME WITH YOUR BAT... all that aside, i love her a lot, the fact that she cares so deeply for her sister, her friends, her school and i just LOVE HER SO MUCH! I came for her character design and stayed for her personality. i could go on and on for HOURS about how much i love Eli Ayase, but i mean no one wants to read that.. i doubt anyone really read this whole thing too so haha if you did thank you i guess? I just love Eli a lot!
My other favorite girl is Honoka.. Honoka is such a literal ray of sunshine and so many people have her on the bottom of their lists and it makes me kind of sad because shes such an amazing character. While she may be the generic anime protagonist, she still is such an amazing character... when i rewatched the anime i also noticed that she has a little mischievous side to her.. her devil SR really brings it out,, and her SIF cards are so beautiful! She's so inspiring and Honoka tries so hard and she loves her friends so much its so heartwarming, i love her so much. She never fails to bring a smile on my face and godamn it her voice is so amazing!! I love Honoka a lot honestly, when i first watched the anime she was in the middle, but then i watched the second season and the movie and she went up so much, she means so much to me and her character design IS SO PRETTY! Honoka is an actual ray of sunshine and she motivates everyone to try their best and if it wasn't for her, muse wouldn't even be there.. She's a bit of a klutz and isn't the best at school, but her values and how she pulls herself back up even though so many obstacles have been thrown at her really is amazing. Her flaws, and how she overcomes her flaws is just inspiring and her speeches always make me cry. Honoka is the type of person i strive to be, shes so positive and doesn't give up no matter what and that is really amazing in my opinion. I rambled a lot haha this was so long but the fact that so many people dislike her really makes me sad because she deserves to be loved and appreciated. Fighto Dayo!
Alright, here it goes, list of best girls from best to worst. 1. Maki. Favorite design, favorite personality, and her bokura wa ima no naka de card has this story in the game that was extremely inspiring and gaaah, I just can't even. 2. Eli. Very pretty design and probably who I relate to the most after Maki. 3. Nozomi. I ignore the washi washi stuff and just focus on how fun she is regardless of that, how seriously pretty most of her cards are, and how much I dig her kind of guardian angel presence in the first season. Also, Eli and her have a serious Haruka Michiru aesthetic going on, both literally aesthetically, and in their role in the early anime episodes, and I really appreciate that. 4. Nico. 4, 5 and 6 fluctuate a lot for me, but I think after the devil set, Nico is gonna be here for a while. I am indeed a shipper, even though the NicoMaki was lost on me on the first watch. I also enjoy her storyline. And I think the best thing about her is the was she puts on this cutesy persona that I would usually hate and just owns it. And it is an act. So when she shows up in devil fetish wear with an overly sexualized look on her face, I can comfortably go like yup, she's playing everyone guys. 5. Honoka. For some reason very un-annoying as a main character, even though I really dislike most anime main characters, especially when they're orange coded. I dunno, she's just a very flawed person like you pointed out, but still really inspiring, and has amazing comedic timing. Her actress has nice arms and I'm not entiely sure why this is the first thing that comes to mind, but dammit, she does. 6. Rin. Someone on the card design staff really likes her, her cards are so pretty. Her story arc in the anime is also really neat and made me cry, but other than that hyperactive into sports car girl just doesn't really do it for me. 7. Umi. Probably a case of the flanderization you mentioned, but even though I really enjoyed her in the first season, I kinda lost interest. Like, the first season was amazing, because I went in with genre expectations. And most girls fulfilled those expectations, even Honoka though she was extremely funny regardless. Then there was Nico who seemed to be actively parodying the genre expectations, and Maki, Eli and Umi all had this thing going where they seemed to have missed the door and thought they were in this shonen rivalry sports anime or something instead, and that was so cool and I loved it. Oh, and Nozomi was like she knew all about the genre and its expectations, but thought she was actually starring in the porn parody thereof. So I liked that about Umi. Then the second season happened, and the fact she has that mindless sexslave look on a lot of her cards didn't help either. Though to be fair, Maki gets her share of that, too. Blegh. Umi has the best singing voice in my opinion though, tied with Eli, and I love, love, love her songs. 8. Kotori. I appreciated the season 1 drama, and also someone on the drawing staff absolutely adores her and she gets the most solid card designs overall next to Rin. I just wasn't engaged much by her otherwise and really, really didn't like her voice. Like, I agree that Nozomi and Nico can sound shrill, especially when alone together and whoever had that bright idea, but Kotori and Hanayo on their own just don't sound good to me. 9. Hanayo. So there we go, Hanayo actually worst girl, though I do appreciate most of the things you mentioned about her. I just found myself annoyed more often than endeared is all. And a LOT of her card designs make me uncomfortable, like the unidolizied China dress one you recently idolized for basically the same reason. She doesn't even look like a mindless sex slave in the bad cards, she looks like a sex slave with enough mind left to actually feel violated. Also I'm just not into the cutesy clumsy kind of characters much, so uh, yeah, I guess there we go.
!!!!IM SO GLAD eli is so high on your list she is my fav and i havent seen many other people who have her even in their top 5 !! also good taste hanayo was my favorite for a long time
This video was absolutely GORGEOUS. It's always so delightful to listen to people who genuinely express their opinions without being unkind or aggressive and who genuinely talk about the things they love with the only purpose of showing their love for them! I also liked this video very much because it both made me emotional and laugh, like the entire Love Live! series did and is still doing with Sunshine! It was like living the first two anime seasons in 33.14 minutes, LOL. Although I have a different top, I can agree with almost everything you said! I love every single girl and think that each one is precious, special and beautiful in her own way!
I love how you explained so many reasons for each girl and their place on your list! It's way more interesting this way and it may open the eyes of people towards the characters. You mentioned some good points and after I watched this video, I liked each girl a bit more, especially kotori, eli and hanayo x3 (I liked all of them from the start but always nice to like them even more)
Your enthusiasm for what you love is a huge reason I love your channel! I recently subscribed for the guide vids and stayed for everything else! Keep up the good work
your reasons for loving Eli....YES YES YES!! that's something I've wanted to explain to my friends but never was able to find the words to do! those are all the reasons why she's my best girl
Spinomaks wow that's a little bit rude.. if chika wasn't there then aqours wouldn't even be formed, she's not just some tipical leader who always gets the center part, there's a lot of the aqua members who get the center part for songs, for example mijuku dreamer the center was the third years, and happy part train kanan was the center so please it's a little offending, I know not everyone can agree on a single topic but it can be hurtful..
Everyone's showing it so here's mine!! 1. HANAYO!! Your speech on why Hanayo is your best girl almost made me cry tbh 2. Nico! I love her frowns 3. Honoka (i love happy-go-lucky girls) 4. Kotori 5. Nozomi 6. Maki 7. Eli 8. Rin 9. Umi bc serious character tropes arent really my thing
okayokay I'm very sorry I'm doing this but about Nozomi from her help to Eli to the tearjerking episode in season 2 TO HER SPIN IN THE MOVIE? Uh no no no You probably didn't pay much attention to Nozomi there is a lot more than that sorry have a good day keep going I'm just saying I expected you to talk about her more because she's one of Love Live's deepest characters and the only thing I could say annoys me about her is the washi washi joke and it's not even that major btw your Kotori explanation was 10/10 Kotori is my 3rd best girl and I agree with everything you said and I'm very happy someone finally said it well... (oh and about her design I totally agree since I joined llsif before watching the anime and I picked her as my starter simply because she looked the most appealing and I loved her design)
I know there's more to her than that dude, relax. I included the spin in that line because I wanted to include something silly along with the more serious points in that line, because that mix of calm motherliness, emotional backstory (and continuing to grow as a person out of that experience), and everyday silliness is all part of what makes Nozomi a great character. ;) I just didn't go into as much detail about every little thing on her because if I did that for every girl on the list, this video would be over an hour. Only really had time to write that much for my top ranks.
ErynCerise Hey haha sorry I didn't really mean to seem offended or annoyed, I just wanted to say that I think you could've said better things about Nozomi... Um I really don't want to seem butthurt or like I'm complaining but you kinda did talk about other characters more than that, I guess maybe they were higher on the list? I don't remember anymore but I did write that comment as soon as you finished the Nozomi speech so I probably compared it to lower rankings Anyway the video is already over there's not much to discuss about I'm just saying I think there are deeper things that could be said about Nozomi and I thought it would be fun to comment that thank you for the video I enjoyed it a lot :)
Waiting for the video since February and it was completely worth it! It was so awesome and I feel that now we know you better ^_^ I really loved this video! Continue with the awesome work!
for me its like I absolutely love mama nozomi. I find the hairstyle cute, voice is really precious and the way she always helps the other girls just shows how much of a precious baby angel she is, nico is like the funniest and really outstanding member, she got her flaws but she tries so hard and wants everybody to smile which makes her #1 idol in the universe, I really like eli(nozoeli too) I firstly thought shes a total pain but after watching the whole thing it moved me how she overcame her past and started to enjoy being a school idol, also she's like 2nd mama of the girls, maki and rin are nice and precious but not that special for me(still really nice), umi is unique and her voice is amazing so even tho shes not my favourite I still appreciate her a lot. the rest is just not my thing.
I love all the u's girls... But if I had to rank them, my order would go: 1. Nozomi 2. Umi 3. Maki 4. Rin 5. Hanayo 6. Eli 7. Nico 8. Honoka 9. Kotori Funny how people can have such different opinions :O (P.S. Even though Nico and Kotori are on the lower end of my list, I get soooo happy whenever I scout their cards on sif because their cards are always GORGEOUS. So are Rin's!!!)
This was a great video! You gave me a new appreciation for Kotori. I totally agree with your fudge cake explanation too. I love all of the girls, but I find it just comes down to who you relate to most. Rin is my personal favourite - I just wish she had more focus in the show.
My Top 10 1.Eli (I love her sm she's so pretty and she was my first UR) 2.Umi (Her Voice is The Best) 3.Maki (I love her Voice a lot too and i love her Hair lol) 4.Nozomi (Her Voice is so calming) 5.Rin (NYA!Cat's are her spirit Animals) 6.Nico (I love her too and she's cute,but i dont like it,when she says,that she's the best...i think it's kinda egoistic) 7.Hanayo (I like her,but her Voice is sometimes just no so great for me...srry) 8.Kotori (I kinda like her Voice too,but...it's a bit too high for me) 9.Honoka (I like her,but it kinda starts to annoy me,that she's The Center of almost every Song of Muse) 10.A-rise (They might be the Rivals of Muse,but still,they're kinda great ;) )
I've been waiting for this video to come out! My best girl has always been Rin. In the beginning it was just because I found her to be the cutest girl when picking my starter but after I got to know what kind of person she was I just fell in love with her. Her energetic personality is just so darn loveable and her trying to accept her femininity really got me because I completely understand how hard it is to go from being the tomboy to a girl who actually looks like a girl. Her friendship with Hanayo also makes me melt. Its just so absolutely precious. I hope you do a top N girl video soon! The N girls really deserve more love because a lot of their character designs/personalities are so great and I just adore them.
Might as well make a list, eh? Muse: 1- Umi - I relate to her a lot, plus I guess she just is the Moe type I like? 2- Hanayo- she is just a bottle of adorableness AHAHBEGEGTZJNEBAHAAHHHHHHH 3- Nozomi- I don't know why... I just really like her! 4/5 - Maki & Kotori - I can't say who I like better, one one hand there is a Tsudere who is just overall.... Tsudere...y? And then there is a girl who is way too nice for her own good (I relate) 6- Rin - I love Rin! Just not as much as the other girls above. She is adorable and a great friend to Pana 7- Eli - once again, I really like Eli, just not as much as the other girls. I don't know why I don't like her as much (also, I'm VERY Eli cursed on LLSIF) 8- Honoka - not a big fan of characters like her. But her story is amazing 9- Nico - I'm sorry! Don't hate me! Nico just is kinda bleh to me... Her cockyness really throws me off with the whole "I'm just best in the universe!" But all that aside, she is very iconic to the franchise
i also love hearing people rambling on about things, and this was rlly nice! maki happens to be my best girl, but rin and hanayo are close seconds, so its nice to hear people talking about pana, especially since she doesnt get the spotlight very often. and, because youre like the first person ive seen talking about it, nozomaki is otp: their scene at the beach and makis worry about nozomi on her focus episode were a+++
I love all muse and A-Rise equally. They all have their own unique personality so no one is better than the other in my opinion. There's nothing really to hate about any of them. Even if people hate them well... the more hate, the more love. what I always say.
Okay, I'm only like 6 minutes in, but after hearing you talk about editing this so much, I gotta say that this really, really paid out. The editing is amazing and so polished and probably your best work yet by far.
I love Hanayo, she's such a precious cinnamon roll and I especially love how excited she gets over idols and rice! Also Shikaco (her seiyuu) is real cute too
My best girl is Kotori, and it made me really happy hearing you talk about her strengths, weaknesses and that. I've seen the same hate myself, down to my own best friend not liking her cause she thought the fact she didn't speak up near the end of S1 was annoying. What people don't understand is characters do have flaws and flaws help make a character shine and empathize with, and the end of s1 really helped me love her a lot. I really agree with you, and I relate to her a lot myself. Also her maid outfit is so cute! (I've always had a thing for maids so... lol) I agree with pretty much everything you've said. Especially Nozomi. Heck, Nozomi's my third best girl after Hanayo and the points you said were dead on why I don't like her as much as I do Kotori or Hanayo. Anyways, great video! Thank you for it. It's kind of weird but watching you talk about the girls the way you do even made me tear up a bit? You're so enthusiastic, and I think that's why I really enjoy watching your videos. HECK I don't really comment on RUclips anymore but I wanted to comment on this! Thanks!
I loved how you detailed so much how you feel about every character... When you talked about Honoka, you almost made me cry since it was so deep but I bursted in tears when you talked about Kotori, I always say that she is my waifu and that I wished that she was my actual girlfriend bcs she is So caring and when you started talking about how she tries to make everyone happy, I felt so identified by that... I dont event know.. I have been playing Siff for a year and your vídeos have been helping me with the game and I think I understand every character more!! thanks for these awesome vídeos!
Yep! The manga and anime were in development at the same time, and the manga was published slightly ahead of the anime originally. The plot and character relationships differ a bit from the anime too, so it's interesting read and look at all the differences!
Thank you for this video!! I've been confused as to why I was so deadly against the opinion that Honoka was selfish at the end of series one, and you've just shown me why. Also, I wasn't sure why I like Eli so much other than shipping NozoEli really hard (Nozomi is my best girl), but again, you've just shown me why. I also strongly agree with everything you said about Kotori's personality. For me, each of the girls' flaws is what makes them perfect. Again, thank you for this video. Great work!
You added some interesting perspective to the characters! I only got into Love Live recently, and when I watched the series I was more watching it to see if I would like it or not, not really paying too much attention to little character details that you pointed out in the video! It makes me want to rewatch the series! I think (for now) my best girl list would go something like this: 1. Maki/Umi: I like their designs and their voices are probs my faves! Plus, they both remind me of myself in some ways personality-wise (wooo this EN SIF event is gonna kill me) 3. Eli: She's mostly here for her voice, not super deep and not super high pitched. Nice design too! 4. Hanayo: She's cute and funny! Sometimes I like her voice, sometimes I don't. (Actually, when I started the series I would've put her at #1 with Maki and Umi!) Now, 5-9 really fluctuate but I think I'll say: 5. Nozomi: Despite the fact that I hate the groping thing, I still really loved her character arc and learning that she moved a lot really resonated with me. Her voice is my least fav of the group, though. Moshimo Kara Kitto is a great song though, her vocals shine in there! 6. Kotori: Her singing voice is one of my least favs, but her design and personality are really nice! 7. Honoka: Like Eli, her voice is not too tangy. Also AMAZING characterization! But besides that, she doesn't stand out too much for me. 8. Rin: I actually loved her arc and her voice is very interesting! Besides that, she doesn't stand out a lot (similar to Honoka) 9. Nico: I love her (edit: esp her her character arc) but she just kind of ended up here? Also, probably 2nd least fav vocals. and of course, A-RISE at 10 bc even though there's not much characterization for them, I love their songs! (DANCING DANCING DONT STOP MY DANCING) I can't wait to see a LL!SS!! Top 10 from you! c:
I feel like commenting mine since others are so from best muse girl - least fave Kotori Nico Hanayo Maki Rin Honoka Umi Nozomi Eli and for Aqours Kanan You Yoshiko Dia Hanamaru Mari Chika Riko Ruby I love all the love live girls though and they're all beautiful and well thought out characters and I actually started crying whilst you spoke about kotori because it just summed up why I love her so much.
I agree with so much of your list!! Kotori started as my best girl, and whilst she still is a very solid second and practically tied for first on occasions, Eli has sneaked up on me and taken her spot. I think it comes from rewatching the anime and finding Eli a character I really aspire to in terms of commitment and work ethic, and someone I can relate to in terms of her perfectionism and loyalty towards her friends
YOU ARE THE FIRST PERSON IVE EVER SEEN TO MAKE A VIDEO OF HANAYO BEING THEIR BEST GIRL 💚💚💚 shes been my best girl since i first loaded up sif and didnt know a single thing about love live. Your description of her was the sweetest thing ive ever heard in my life. 💚💚💚
My list 1. NICO NII 2. Rice 3. Birb 4.honk 5. Nozomi 6. Maki 7. Rin 8. Umi 9. Eli chi ( I'm srry I don't find her Interesting ;;) Aquors ( not my official list yet) 1. Yohane/yoshiko 2. ( close second..) ITS JOKE 3. Riko/You 4. Dia 5. Ruby 6. Hanamaru ( I still love her a lot.) 8. Chika 9. Kanan ( I hope to like her more when more episodes release)
stop making me want to make my own top ten nooo seriously though, your explanations were so good! despite nico and rin being two of my top girls I 200% understood your reasons and you made me appreciate hanayo so much more than I did before
BIG agree on the nozomi "washi washi" thing, i really like nozomi but her groping the other girls at times ruins her character for me :s also my best girl is eliiii
I just adore your enthusiasm and love for this franchise (and others! I hope to hear about your Pokémon Go experience someday) and this video was amazing to watch! I would write about my faves, but writing on phone takes forever even though I am a swiper-typer. So I wanted to at least tell you how I enjoyed this. Thanks for making it~
You'll be able to hear me talk about Pokemon Go soon! I just recorded a video podcast type thing that'll be going up on Victor Frost's channel in the near future. Will let people know when that's up! Keep an eye out! :D And thanks! Glad you enjoyed! ^^
You're just awesome and I totally love your dedication to the fandom. I've bien following you for a while on RUclips and Twitter and, even if I usually coment on videos, this time I couldnt help myself. Your videos are SO entertaining to watch and well made that they made my day really. Finally, and talking about this video, I really agree with everything you said about everything girl, even if my top 9 isnt exactly the same (but close enough), and I really admire someone Who can express politely their opinion. U Go Girl!! Lots of love from Spain~
Ohhh my god, it makes me so happy that Hanayo is your fave. You literally explained the exact reason why I love her so much bless. Also I will fight everyone that calls her voice annoying she is a precious baby.
Nozomi is best girl for me because she's always there for the other members, giving them heart worthy advices (in ma opinion) and she's really pretty and kind let's just not add the whole washi washi thing ok? XD I know nobody would care about ma list but hey I still wanna share it~ 9. Maki ( don't get me wrong she's very pretty and everyone in the fandom loves her! But the only thing is that I don't really like tsunderes as much as others, there's nothing I can change about maki's personality, and just because I put maki on the bottom list doesn't mean I hate her every muse girl is my best girl but there's just one that stood out and grew on me more than the others.) 8.Umi ( she was originally my 3rd best girl but I rewatched the anime and the others just kinda grew on me more, but theres nothing really wrong with Umi, she's perfection.) 7. Eli ( Ah yes our favorite Russian bae, who wouldn't decline Eli? She's very pretty and she has a very lovely singing voice as well :3 ) 6. Kotori ( Kotori is sooo awesome I think I'm the only person in the fandom who would put her this low on a list, I have nothing to argue with her, there's nothing wrong with kotori other than she didn't really get that much development on season 2. That's just it yeah ) 5. Hanayo ( the things that I love about hanayo is that she's very plain and she's really shy and kawaii and duh she's the rice goddess 😏, but some people put her quite low on there lists because she doesn't stand out much, but for me hanayo is P.E.R.F.E.C.T ) 4.Rin ( I don't really like girls who are really sporty but how can you not resist Rin? Like bruh she likes cats, acts like a cat and nya. And her backstory is very relatable so yeah ) 3. Nico ( Honestly what is there to hate about the no. 1 school idol in the whole damn universe? And she has very supportive siblings ( I ship NozoNico 😏 , but only thing is about her singing voice, I don't really have the right to say that Nico's singing voice is awful, no it really suits her and it's quite lovely to her when your listening to an energetic song and oh yeah! One more thing! NICO NICO NI~~!. 2. Honoka ( she's very passionate on being a school idol and being a leader to muse, she's very positive and I also adore her singing voice it's quite lovely ) 1.NoZomI ( for me she is like this... Nozomi Tojo= my everything, my energy, my happiness and my...cookies 😏🍪) WASHI WASHI~! ( Don't hate me pwease xD)
Same. I agree a lot of people Like Nico but A LOTTT of Nico don't like Nico. I see why people don't like Nico. But I wish more people like her more. I'm just glad Eryn doesn't hate her unlike some people. Also I have a Nico problem. I have a bad obsession XD I worship Nico. She is my queen
+Yukiina Yazawa My friends said that I need to care more about me than Nico :v I don't know why people bullying my waifu ;-; but I really don't like the position that Nico is in this video :|
Hahaha, such a list probably won't come out for a while. I do want to make it eventually, though! xD Gonna nip you in the bud though just so you're not hanging on edge for months: ASN wouldn't be in my top 10. It's a great song! I love it! But the Love Live discography has so many great songs that it means a bunch of those great songs don't make it into one's personal top 10.
oh jesus at the end when you mentioned that you talked so much about them i realized that i watched your 30min video... 30min... and i cried at some points because i remembered so many sad scenes in the anime and oh my gosh... i really never cried so much in a fandom than the LL fandom. almost every character makes me cry and laugh at the same time. when i get sad i just listen to their music (especially sunny day song) and it makes me so happy that i break out in tears and i can't tell anymore if i cry because i'm sad or because i'm happy this show and game is confusing my feelings and i god damn like it and every single character in it (Nozomi is the best so pls all stay away who hate her)
I'm happy to see Kotori so high up on your list! I feel like she's one of the least appreciated members but she's my best girl despite what people say and I don't see that changing anytime soon.
Eryn, I know that a lot of fans are gonna be salty about this list, but honestly this list was so well put together compared to any other character list I've seen. You focused more on the girls' good qualities than their bad qualities, and that's amazing! I think that more people could have this outlook while looking at characters or just being in fandoms in general. Rin (next to Honoka) is my best girl, and even though you ranked her low, you only pointed out the things you loved about her, and I love that! You are a very nice and considerate person, much like Kotori, and you know, I love Honoka for the same reasons you do
My list: (and I don’t hate any of the girls btw) 1. Nico! (NICO NICO NII) 2. Rin (she’s adorable) 3. Honoka (I like her personality) 4. Hanayo (She’s So cute) 5. Umi 6. Kotori 7. Maki 8. Nozomi 9. Eli Aqours: 1. Dia (best girl) 2. Yohane/Yoshiko 3. Hanamaru 4. Riko 5. Chika 6. Ruby 7. You 8. Mari 9. Kanan
My favorite girl is Honoka's Dad
Maki Nishikino he is best grill. Best T bone steak in the whole country
Da fuck
YOIR FATHER!
Ah yes, i see you are a woman of culture
rin best girl i understand eryn was she was so low for you and youre right we rin fans cheer hard for our best girl~!
Yas Rin is too adorable!
Haha Rin is my favorite!
AND YOU KNOW WHAT, EASIER TIERING.
She's so beautiful ;/////;
Rin fans unite!!
Nico is my favourite. When I started playing SIF, I didn't know there was an anime so I chose based on looks, and thought Nico was the cutest, so I went with her. Nico is the reason why I discovered there was an anime, because I went on her wiki page! And then, I loved the Nico Nii, how she was insecure behind that noisy personality and how she tried to look good in her siblings eyes just so they wouldn't be disappointed and her enthusiasm
Nicocchi is best♡
THIS COMMENT IS MY LIFE. NICO NICO NII.
Pili Macchi Nico Nico Nii's story is so sad.
Omg sameeee! I discovered love live and had to be stuck in this idol hell thanks to nicooo!
Same! I found like a meme "Nico Nico Nii" the description didn't said what anime it is so I searched Nico Yazawa episode 1, which brought me to love live sunshine, I was quite upset since nico is not there. When I watched further more, I'm starting to see Nico on some episodes. I searched "love live ep 1" which brought me to episodes of love live sip (I just told my story how I was brought to Idol hell so one more time "NICO BEST GIRL"
Seeing rin so low on your list kind of have me a mini heart attack
My list
1- RIN
2- NOZOMI
3- hanayo
4- Nico
5- honoka
6- Kotori
7- umi
8- Eli
9- maki
+Kaita Gene someone who is not a big fan of Eli.. I don't really like Eli :P
Seeing Kotori so slow on your list makes me sad
My list:
Kotori/Hanayo
Rin
Honoka
Eli
Nozomi
Maki
Nico
Umi
Im sorry i love them all except for maki, nico, and umi. I hate those three
We have the same favs
Umi is my favorite, but I do agree the writers did kind of did nothing with her...she felt more like Side comic relief with her anxiety....which COULD'VE BEEN AN INTERESTING STORY TO LOOK AT!! Also, Umi doesn't really doesn't get her own episode. I can count at least one episode where one u's girls gets the center....but Umi? All her "focused" episodes is shared by other members making it more like group episodes and she doesn't even get that much development. Still, her personality, beauty, and voice make her my favorite Love Live character and waifu in general. NO SHAME!!
Hanayo is best girl, and I like her because she's so cute and plain, she definitely doesn't deserve any of the hate she gets. Hanayo is my cute little rice ball and everytime she feels uncomfortable or cries I want to hug her so bad ;w; I just can't stand my waifu being sad ❤️
Plus her solo version of Love Marginal is just WOW ❤️❤️❤️❤️
I love Hanayo so much, I can't understand at all why people dislike her. And yes, I love her Love Marginal solo! (Also have you heard her solo of Wonderful Rush? That fast bit in the middle is the CUTEST thing I've ever heard)
+Levi Arden no I haven't heard but I'll give it a listen!
someone who loves hanayo
Hanayo is the best wife
that double chocolate fudge cake analogy is perfect 👌 umi's always gonna be my fav cake tho
nico is my best girl because of many reasons
1. she is so cute in her design
2. she was my first ur slg nico
3. i actually like her singing voice as it fits her
4. her backstory is heartbreaking
5.she is one of the most developed characters of the girls
6. i love nicos solo song from the school idol diary event.
7. her comedy is really funny like popping up during muses first concert
8. her cards in sif are great
9. she works well off the other members
and
10. NICO NICO NI
Nico is my best girl too♡ She is just so amazing!♡
Couldn't agree more
SAME BRO NICO IS NUMBER 1 IDOL IN THE UNIVERSE
Nico was my 1st best girl but Maki came and Nico's now my 2nd
NICO IS AN ANGEL
Umi is my best girl, I love the moments she has in the series and the glorious facial expressions she makes. I also love how disciplined she is and acts as the disciplinarian when Honoka or the other Muse girls get a little carried away. That little mini character development she had about being afraid to talk in front of people and get in her comfort zone really resonated with me; that part in episode three where she came out with he gym pants and the uniform on, really just put her on the top of my list. Her voice is also amazing, which is one of the reasons why I greatly enjoyed "Wild Stars". After Umi, would definitely be Hanayo for me, I would explain why I love Hanayo, but you've seemed to got that covered.
How have I not discovered this channel before, some of the best editing I've seen on something that is Love Live related, I've only just got to the 7 minute mark but can't believe Nico Nico Nii is Nico Nico Ninth.
Can't wait to see more! subbed
Thanks so much for the kind words! Hahaha, as I said in the video, I still like Nico a lot! Just hard to choose between all those fudge cakes ;) Hope the rest of the channel lives up to your expectations! Glad to have you on board!
ErynCerise I look forward to it, the rest of the list was great, can't wait to see the Aqours one and of course I understand that all the characters are great, so much so that I'll be cosplaying Nico at London Comic-con next year so if I remember, I'll link you some images
LLHGames I like Maki, Umi, Eli, Rin, Nozomi and Hanayo best. They are my top 6!
im going to admit this video made me tear up a bit since it made me remember all those moments in the anime _still internally crying_
i love eli the best because when i first got to know about this idol hell i thought she was the prettiest. i dont particularly have an interest towards blonds but it really stood out for me and i loved her hair style. it was simple, yet it really fit her and her "strict student council president" image. and also i love how iconic russians in anime have blond hair and blue eyes like "is this anime's way of stereotyping or-"
then i heard her voice and was like hOLY BALLS NANJO FRIPSIDE and pretty much died from toaru opening songs feels
eli has a really pretty voice and its pretty smooth. plus she can hit high and low notes really well without either of it sounding forced and like you said eryn, it blends really well with the slightly nasal voice maki has and the shrill, slightly forced sounding voice nico has.
next, i really emphatised with eli's background story(nico's too, but i had a deeper connection with eli's). i could totally understand how it was like to work so hard at something you were so passionate on and something you loved, only to "fail" and because of that one failure, you just... completely give up on that passion you used to love. it's really heartbreaking for someone to strive so hard and to just give up. i myself went through something similar, except it was with singing. well luckily i picked myself back up and now im slowly going back to loving my own singing voice c:
//back to eli
i love her catchphrase "khorosho", the way nanjo says it is super ccuuttee~ it made her foreign character stand out more //well it just adds on to her already foreign looks and i like that
in the anime, i admit i didn't really like her character as the way she opposed to the whole school idol thing was a bit too strong for me. but when you know her story and rationalize her thoughts and feelings along with what she went through, you could understand why she thinks that way and that she doesn't want to go through a second failure. she went harsh on them because she's afraid they are going to fail and become as affected as she was, and thats really looking out for your juniors. if i remember correctly deep down inside she wanted to join and help muse but she was too scared to face failure again. again, a lot of us can understand this and the empathy i have with her character about this is a lot.
lastly, -holy cow her cards in the game i cry because i dont even have a quarter of them but hey at least i have tricoloured ur of her- my favourite ur and sr card of her respectively is probably job v2 and the latest jp medfest of her kitsune card //gosh darn it im a sucker for that//
i think i'll stop here before i turn this into an essay xD and as much as i want to talk about the other girls i think i'll end up flooding the comment section so xD
I WAS ACTUALLY GONNA RANT ABOUT ELI TOO AND HOW AMAZING SHE WAS
BUT IT SEEMS LIKE A FELLOW HUMAN HAS DONE THAT ALREADY
BUT YES
YESHHHH
Never could have said it better 😣👍
My list:
1.Maki (I just love her)
2.Nozomi(She's basically my mom)
3.Hanayo(She's me)
4.Honoka(I really like her~)
5.Eli(Really like her backstory)
6.Kotori(I relate to her alot)
7.Umi(Her voice~)
8.Rin(Love her solo songs)
9. Nico(I love her cards)
Btw: I ship Nozomaki, too >////
Don't kill me but Nico is best girl. Tbh, the first time I saw her in LLSIF, I caught myself staring at her for a few minutes. I was like, "Oh my god she's cute." And though her Nico Nico Niis are so overused and her selfishness can be a major setback for other people to like her (that's okay. I can agree so much with your reasons), I guess those flaws made me even like her more. I have a thing for characters who have so many flaws and make people so irritated that they want to strangle her or something. And it's because I, too, have made a million mistakes in my life and flaws. And like Nico, I turn people off. And like Nico (again), I am a big sister who wants nothing but the best for her sibling. Her way of hiding the fact that her idol days were done before is a clear example that Nico isn't perfect. And besides, her action was very realistic. Of all things that we care about, it's our pride and the way people look at us. So of course, to most people, believe it or not, the first thing we'd do is to cover our shame and live a lie. And just like the others, Nico has a good side. I mean come on guys. Mahoutsukai is basically a song about her making other people smile. And if that isn't the cutest thing you've ever seen or heard, then I don't know what is. Plus she's waifu material. She can literally do any household chore in a heartbeat. And then there's the few times in her side stories when Nico's words can light you up (example: that something that shines bright side story of hers. I had a breakdown on that day and her words just encouraged me so much). All in all, Nico is my best girl and I have a very personal connection with her ^^
Nico is a great waifu, she takes care of 3 sisters. So she can take care of her own child 😂
Yeeessss!!!
Umi is my personal best girl because I have always been a more realistic, think it through kind of girl. I can't quite relate to the other girls that are so passionate and bubbly about literally everything. Umi is gorgeous like drop dead gorgeous and her voice just wow I can't even it's so perfect. She doesn't get the best SIF cards some times but that's okay because when her cards are beautiful they are BEAUTIFUL. I also love that she does archery (I used to as well) and that she is lyrical, I personally love writing so Umi is waifu :)
I actually found this video to be really interesting! My best girls are all in your bottom of the list but my two worst are your tops. Hearing you talk about what you like about Hayano and Eli was a nice dose of perspective. It made me see things in a character I might not have noticed or ignored. I didn't even think about how much leaving dancing would hurt Eli. She loved it so much and it must have been really devastated when she failed. I really loved your video and Im trying to make myself love all the girls. after all, they are still part of the group that I love, and without them it wont be the same. I hope I can come to love all the girls as much as I love Rin lol. Though there will always be a best girl for everyone. The reason Rin was my best girl is due to her insecurities with being feminine. I was a tomboy growing up and was always playing sports. So whenever I was put in skirts or dresses by my mom, my friends would pick on me so I relate to Rin alot. I actually love girly things but its so hard to get into it when ive been "tomboish" and "normal" for most of my life. Whenever I think about dressing up, I think about Rin and how she could do it, then so could I. Its a great feeling. Most people tend to choose the girl they relate to the most as their best girl so thats how Rin became my best (it used to be Maki like you lol). Eli is my "worst" but honesty its mostly because she haunts me whenever im trying to get Rin URs. Plus since everyone has worst best girls I feel the need to pick one too??? Like I said earlier, I just want to love all the girls cause they are all responsible for taking over my life
Hanayo is also my best girl!! It's because of the reasons you listed above, yes, but also because she is perhaps the most relatable character (to me) to ever grace the media. Her shyness, her lack of friends at the start of the series, her feeling that she just isn't enough, all resonate with me so much.
Aside from that, Hanayo is also my precious child. She is adorable and deserves to be protected at all costs. She's cute, she wants to make other people smile the way she smiled, she is a supportive friend, and she was able to overcome her shyness in order to pursue her dreams. Honestly, Hanayo is everything I want to be and more. I love her so much and I'm glad that someone else loves her as much as I do.

And my favorite line from Kanan being "do you want a hug." And I'm like "ugh hell yeah I wanna hug get over here girl!" (Never out loud of course.)
My list:
1: Nicocchi♡ (god)
2: Nozomi♡ (washi washi >:D ♡)
3: Rin♡ (nya♡♡♡)
4: Umi♡
5: Birb♡
6: Honker♡
7: Eli♡
8: Maki♡
9: Pana♡
I love all of them but this is my list ^^
and 10: Tsubasa♡♡♡
nozomi nico best girls for me
We have the same 2 best girls ;*)
Your look on Kotori really changed my view on her, I now realize that I share some of my feelings with her and you because I always try to be nice and positive towards other, even while I often feel really sad/depressed myself (I'm already getting therapy for this). I also need to go to a different school, and just like Kotori found it difficult to tell Honoka that she needs to leave the country, I find it difficult to tell my friends I will no longer see them at school and will meet up with them less.
~~
Also Hanayo being your best girl and you giving reasons to love her really made my day! She's so lovely and way too many people dislike her.
~~
Our top 10 is quite similar, Nico is way higher up and Eli somewhere in the middle but the most characters are on somewhat the same place. I also like that you explained reasons to like and dislike the characters, even though we both love every girl.
~~
Also I noticed Steven Universe (my fave cartoon), Pokémon (used to be my fave cartoon), Spyro (used to be my favorite game) and Stanley Parable (watched multiple gameplays) in your video and I think those things are indeed pretty awesome :).
maki, eli, and umi are the best!
That's facts tho
I agree. 1. Umi 2. Maki 3. Eli
not reallyyy
It's true
+PieKween yes!!
Nozomi is my best girl because she's so pretty and I really enjoy her personality and she and Eli are my otp. Eli is second because her character arc is everything and her episode makes me cry every time I watch it. She's so amazing. Third is maki obviously because she's so cool and funny and I love me some tsunderes
Yes Nozomi is gorgeous!
yES.
Nozomi is my nest girl too! Kotori is second for me
I find maki extremely overrated :/
Myrrläken Löket Pls
I'm totally a NozoMaki shipper tooooo! So glad to hear you ship them! Also I totally agree on loving every girl and that double chocolate fudge cake analogy is spot on, something some of the more extreme "my girl is best girl and you're wrong if she isn't your best girl" people I've met don't seem to understand, I've found. Anyways, just wanted to tell you I appreciate how diplomatic and fair you were throughout this video and in ranking the girls! Oh, and in case anyone's curious my top three are Maki, Nozomi, and Eli/Umi.
Me:
1- Nicochi ! (god)
2- Sea, Umi voice is... Omg.
3- Makiiii ! Because the Santa Claus is real. (and i love tsundere)
4- Birb ! She's so cute and funny.
5- Panaaaa, I love rice too.
6- Nozomi, I like Nozomi but... Yes, wish-wish... Stop...
7- Eli ! I don't know why Eli is 7... But... Yeah, I like russian girl.
8- Honoka, I don't really like her but... I think... Her personnality is just... Stupid... But cute. (I love all of the member of u's so...)
9- Rin ! I think... She's just... Nya.
Yes Nico is god teir waifu!
Nico is my precious baby
nico is a goddess
Nico's just perfect uwu
I was so sad to see Nico so low on the list because Nico is literally God.
10/10 good opinions my list is super similar??
mine:
1. hanayo (my perfect daughter)
2. maki (she was my first best girl too! she just hasn't gone down as much in my esteem)
3. eli (the cards... so pretty...)
4. kotori (again, the cards. also i've seen various things that hint that she's kind of creepy under the adorable good friend facade which. i enjoy)
5. nozomi (middle of the pack. good solid girl who i like shipping w/ eli)
6. umi (see nozomi, including the shipping w/ eli part)
7. rin (i think i like her better than most people do because i appreciate how much hanayo loves her but yeah still relatively low)
8. honoka (i don't actually have a very good reason for her being this low?? i guess in my mind she's just Leader Girl it's the same problem i have w/ chika)
9. nico (i used to actively dislike her but now i really do like her! just she gets on my nerves sometimes)
You explained Eli fabulously. Eli is my best girl, and I relate to her most of the time. Being someone who gave up on something I love due to frustration because everything wasn't perfect, I relate to her dancing career fiasco, and her understanding of how she could do better. I JUST LOVE ELI SO MUCH! ;-;
I love your list. Mine is different, but I wanted to add why I too love Hanayo ( not best girl though). I credit her with why M's exists. She was the only one who actively tryed to make it to there first performance, and when she ran in frantic it helped encourage the 2nd years continue and sing for her. I also don't know if Maki and Rin would have joined if Hanayo didn't, and if they didn't Eli wouldn't have taken it seriously ( they also wouldn't have enough members for the club), and their dreams would have ended and the school would have shut down . I love her and I'm glad you appreciate her as well.
p.s. love your channel!
oh my gosh i love the detail you put into each character and their description, you actually changed all my faves lol
9. Honk (I don't find her very relatable, personally)
8. Umi (I don't know why, but I didn't end up caring for her much. She's a good character, who I like, but she just doesn't stand out much to me)
7. Kotori (I love her, I just feel love everyone above her a bit more. I'm also not a huge fan of her voice)
6. Eli (She's got a great voice, and we pretty much share a name)
5. Hanayo (I can relate to her, her love for her friends and rice is great. also I wear glasses so... nice)
4. Rin (she's so cute, I also love cats. nya)
3. Maki (first of all I love tsunderes so bonus points there, I also really like her voice and she's cute)
2. Nozomi (Nozomi is cute, I actually really like her voice [I know a lot of people don't] and I will admit that I like the washi washi)
1. Nico (Nico Nico Nii! I just find her so cute, and while I can't really relate to who she is typically seen as, I feel kind of forgotten sometimes- I know that she is used as a comic relief when she's ignored but I guess I like that? I'm not sure. Anyways, she is seen as comic relief, but she's also really capable. I don't want this to be too long, so I'll just leave it at that I guess.)
Eli is my best girl because,, well i love basically everything about her. Her design, her backstory, her flaws, her problems and worries, her amazing voice, her strengths and values, her in general. My friend showed me the yume no tobira PV and i instantly was so mesmerized by her! She stuck out to me the most, she's DROP DEAD GORGEOUS, and her voice, oh my god her voice is so amazing and powerful! Arifurueta Kanashimi always manages to make me tear up! I watched the anime and she was so cold and stubborn, but if it wasn't BEING a stubborn person, muse wouldn't be where it is now. I mean, all the characters contribute muse's huge success, but she was the one who filmed them and posted the video of muse in the first place! While she did it show Honoka that people wouldn't care about the idol group, the fact that she was so stubborn and it took so much to convince her really brought out the best in muse in my opinion. Eli's arch and when she joined muse reduced me to the point of tears, no matter how many times i watch the anime, it never fails to make me cry. She took all the responsibility because she felt as if she's supposed to be cold and strict and stubborn and in that process, she just..lost herself and she didn't want to do what she wanted but what shes expected to do. When the group reached out and helped her break out of her cold, distant shell, it made me cry. That episode was so beautiful. Not just that, but how much she cares about her friends and her sister is so beautiful. I really relate with her on that matter though. I still, always want to make people proud of me and make my parents proud of me so much so that i barely do anything just for the sake of doing it, i barely do things for myself,... and i do also have a little sister that i care so much about and want the best for her. i know this is all over the place, but Eli is such an amazing character, and her SIF cards are so gorgeous!! I love every single eli card, she even looks good in the BASEBALL SET! Her baseball UR unidolized looks so soft and warm and her idolized IS SO SEXY LIKE DAMN GIRL IM NOT ONE FOR SPORTS BUT YOU ARE DROP DEAD GORGEOUS PLEASE HIT ME WITH YOUR BAT... all that aside, i love her a lot, the fact that she cares so deeply for her sister, her friends, her school and i just LOVE HER SO MUCH! I came for her character design and stayed for her personality. i could go on and on for HOURS about how much i love Eli Ayase, but i mean no one wants to read that.. i doubt anyone really read this whole thing too so haha if you did thank you i guess? I just love Eli a lot!
My other favorite girl is Honoka.. Honoka is such a literal ray of sunshine and so many people have her on the bottom of their lists and it makes me kind of sad because shes such an amazing character. While she may be the generic anime protagonist, she still is such an amazing character... when i rewatched the anime i also noticed that she has a little mischievous side to her.. her devil SR really brings it out,, and her SIF cards are so beautiful! She's so inspiring and Honoka tries so hard and she loves her friends so much its so heartwarming, i love her so much. She never fails to bring a smile on my face and godamn it her voice is so amazing!! I love Honoka a lot honestly, when i first watched the anime she was in the middle, but then i watched the second season and the movie and she went up so much, she means so much to me and her character design IS SO PRETTY! Honoka is an actual ray of sunshine and she motivates everyone to try their best and if it wasn't for her, muse wouldn't even be there.. She's a bit of a klutz and isn't the best at school, but her values and how she pulls herself back up even though so many obstacles have been thrown at her really is amazing. Her flaws, and how she overcomes her flaws is just inspiring and her speeches always make me cry. Honoka is the type of person i strive to be, shes so positive and doesn't give up no matter what and that is really amazing in my opinion. I rambled a lot haha this was so long but the fact that so many people dislike her really makes me sad because she deserves to be loved and appreciated. Fighto Dayo!
That was so heartfelt and beautiful
Haha thank you
AHH!! Finally, someone I know who actually loves Eli. Really, Eli is my first favorite character, but close enough. Nice list! :)
Nozo's my best girl. I love EVERYTHING in her :3
My top 5:
1- Nozomi
2- Eli
3- Hanayo
4- Kotori
5- Honoka
we both have the top three favorite girls! just that hanayo is number 1 for me tho XD
Alright, here it goes, list of best girls from best to worst.
1. Maki. Favorite design, favorite personality, and her bokura wa ima no naka de card has this story in the game that was extremely inspiring and gaaah, I just can't even.
2. Eli. Very pretty design and probably who I relate to the most after Maki.
3. Nozomi. I ignore the washi washi stuff and just focus on how fun she is regardless of that, how seriously pretty most of her cards are, and how much I dig her kind of guardian angel presence in the first season. Also, Eli and her have a serious Haruka Michiru aesthetic going on, both literally aesthetically, and in their role in the early anime episodes, and I really appreciate that.
4. Nico. 4, 5 and 6 fluctuate a lot for me, but I think after the devil set, Nico is gonna be here for a while. I am indeed a shipper, even though the NicoMaki was lost on me on the first watch. I also enjoy her storyline. And I think the best thing about her is the was she puts on this cutesy persona that I would usually hate and just owns it. And it is an act. So when she shows up in devil fetish wear with an overly sexualized look on her face, I can comfortably go like yup, she's playing everyone guys.
5. Honoka. For some reason very un-annoying as a main character, even though I really dislike most anime main characters, especially when they're orange coded. I dunno, she's just a very flawed person like you pointed out, but still really inspiring, and has amazing comedic timing. Her actress has nice arms and I'm not entiely sure why this is the first thing that comes to mind, but dammit, she does.
6. Rin. Someone on the card design staff really likes her, her cards are so pretty. Her story arc in the anime is also really neat and made me cry, but other than that hyperactive into sports car girl just doesn't really do it for me.
7. Umi. Probably a case of the flanderization you mentioned, but even though I really enjoyed her in the first season, I kinda lost interest. Like, the first season was amazing, because I went in with genre expectations. And most girls fulfilled those expectations, even Honoka though she was extremely funny regardless. Then there was Nico who seemed to be actively parodying the genre expectations, and Maki, Eli and Umi all had this thing going where they seemed to have missed the door and thought they were in this shonen rivalry sports anime or something instead, and that was so cool and I loved it. Oh, and Nozomi was like she knew all about the genre and its expectations, but thought she was actually starring in the porn parody thereof. So I liked that about Umi. Then the second season happened, and the fact she has that mindless sexslave look on a lot of her cards didn't help either. Though to be fair, Maki gets her share of that, too. Blegh. Umi has the best singing voice in my opinion though, tied with Eli, and I love, love, love her songs.
8. Kotori. I appreciated the season 1 drama, and also someone on the drawing staff absolutely adores her and she gets the most solid card designs overall next to Rin. I just wasn't engaged much by her otherwise and really, really didn't like her voice. Like, I agree that Nozomi and Nico can sound shrill, especially when alone together and whoever had that bright idea, but Kotori and Hanayo on their own just don't sound good to me.
9. Hanayo. So there we go, Hanayo actually worst girl, though I do appreciate most of the things you mentioned about her. I just found myself annoyed more often than endeared is all. And a LOT of her card designs make me uncomfortable, like the unidolizied China dress one you recently idolized for basically the same reason. She doesn't even look like a mindless sex slave in the bad cards, she looks like a sex slave with enough mind left to actually feel violated. Also I'm just not into the cutesy clumsy kind of characters much, so uh, yeah, I guess there we go.
!!!!IM SO GLAD eli is so high on your list she is my fav and i havent seen many other people who have her even in their top 5 !! also good taste hanayo was my favorite for a long time
My Top 9 in Muse ~
1.) Umi
2.) Eli
3.) Maki
4.) Honoka
5.) Kotori
6.) Nozomi
7.) Nico
8.) Hanayo
9.) Rin
They're all cute though
Your list is literally my list backwards 💀
This video was absolutely GORGEOUS. It's always so delightful to listen to people who genuinely express their opinions without being unkind or aggressive and who genuinely talk about the things they love with the only purpose of showing their love for them! I also liked this video very much because it both made me emotional and laugh, like the entire Love Live! series did and is still doing with Sunshine! It was like living the first two anime seasons in 33.14 minutes, LOL. Although I have a different top, I can agree with almost everything you said! I love every single girl and think that each one is precious, special and beautiful in her own way!
Nozomi is my best girl. Originally it was Hanayo but Nozomi's story was very relatable to me and made me love her more.
I love how you explained so many reasons for each girl and their place on your list! It's way more interesting this way and it may open the eyes of people towards the characters. You mentioned some good points and after I watched this video, I liked each girl a bit more, especially kotori, eli and hanayo x3 (I liked all of them from the start but always nice to like them even more)
This order is literally backwards to my best girls 🌚❤️
Hahaha, welp! At least that means we probably share similar middle girls! xD Everyone's got different tastes, all good!
i'm so happy you love eli, bc she's my best girl, and a lot of people just leave her out for being too "boring" of a personality
oh i also wanna comment mine!
1. honoka (i love her so much)
2. nozomi
3. nico
4. rin
5. maki
6. kotori
7. eli
8. umi
9. hanayo
im sorry hanayo.
Hanayo is second best girl. What are you on about?
Your enthusiasm for what you love is a huge reason I love your channel! I recently subscribed for the guide vids and stayed for everything else! Keep up the good work
Who Loves Eli?
ME
Me!
Meee! She's my second favorite
your reasons for loving Eli....YES YES YES!! that's something I've wanted to explain to my friends but never was able to find the words to do! those are all the reasons why she's my best girl
My ranks :3
μ's
9. Nico
8. Rin
7. Hanayo
6. Honoka
5. Kotori
4. Maki
3. Nozomi
2. Umi
1. Eli
Kachi Nyan disagree on Muse but agree with aqours. Chika is a shitty center stealing character. Nothing more
Spinomaks wow that's a little bit rude.. if chika wasn't there then aqours wouldn't even be formed, she's not just some tipical leader who always gets the center part, there's a lot of the aqua members who get the center part for songs, for example mijuku dreamer the center was the third years, and happy part train kanan was the center so please it's a little offending, I know not everyone can agree on a single topic but it can be hurtful..
Everyone's showing it so here's mine!!
1. HANAYO!! Your speech on why Hanayo is your best girl almost made me cry tbh
2. Nico! I love her frowns
3. Honoka (i love happy-go-lucky girls)
4. Kotori
5. Nozomi
6. Maki
7. Eli
8. Rin
9. Umi bc serious character tropes arent really my thing
tfw washi washi is my reason i love her
Yukino Neno xD
I LOVE YOU ERYN GIRL I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS FOREVER BLESS
okayokay I'm very sorry I'm doing this but about Nozomi
from her help to Eli to the tearjerking episode in season 2 TO HER SPIN IN THE MOVIE?
Uh no no no
You probably didn't pay much attention to Nozomi there is a lot more than that sorry have a good day keep going I'm just saying I expected you to talk about her more because she's one of Love Live's deepest characters and the only thing I could say annoys me about her is the washi washi joke and it's not even that major
btw your Kotori explanation was 10/10 Kotori is my 3rd best girl and I agree with everything you said and I'm very happy someone finally said it well... (oh and about her design I totally agree since I joined llsif before watching the anime and I picked her as my starter simply because she looked the most appealing and I loved her design)
I know there's more to her than that dude, relax. I included the spin in that line because I wanted to include something silly along with the more serious points in that line, because that mix of calm motherliness, emotional backstory (and continuing to grow as a person out of that experience), and everyday silliness is all part of what makes Nozomi a great character. ;) I just didn't go into as much detail about every little thing on her because if I did that for every girl on the list, this video would be over an hour. Only really had time to write that much for my top ranks.
ErynCerise
Hey haha sorry I didn't really mean to seem offended or annoyed, I just wanted to say that I think you could've said better things about Nozomi... Um I really don't want to seem butthurt or like I'm complaining but you kinda did talk about other characters more than that, I guess maybe they were higher on the list? I don't remember anymore but I did write that comment as soon as you finished the Nozomi speech so I probably compared it to lower rankings
Anyway the video is already over there's not much to discuss about I'm just saying I think there are deeper things that could be said about Nozomi and I thought it would be fun to comment that thank you for the video I enjoyed it a lot :)
Waiting for the video since February and it was completely worth it! It was so awesome and I feel that now we know you better ^_^ I really loved this video! Continue with the awesome work!
why does no one love rin
but i 100% agree that mostly anyone who has rin as best girl is completely dedicated to her
Anormal Person You call Rin annoying? Look at yourself! "kawaii"? tf?
I LOVE HER SO MUCH!!!!
Rin Takami I can tell 🐱
The Kotori and Honoka parts genuinely made me cry! :'(
Great video ^^
10: arise
9: nico
8: rin
7: Umi
6: hoknon
5:handyo
4:nozomin
3:maki
2:eiia
1:kotori
Dia and riko for Aqua
for me its like I absolutely love mama nozomi. I find the hairstyle cute, voice is really precious and the way she always helps the other girls just shows how much of a precious baby angel she is, nico is like the funniest and really outstanding member, she got her flaws but she tries so hard and wants everybody to smile which makes her #1 idol in the universe, I really like eli(nozoeli too) I firstly thought shes a total pain but after watching the whole thing it moved me how she overcame her past and started to enjoy being a school idol, also she's like 2nd mama of the girls, maki and rin are nice and precious but not that special for me(still really nice), umi is unique and her voice is amazing so even tho shes not my favourite I still appreciate her a lot. the rest is just not my thing.
I love all the u's girls... But if I had to rank them, my order would go:
1. Nozomi
2. Umi
3. Maki
4. Rin
5. Hanayo
6. Eli
7. Nico
8. Honoka
9. Kotori
Funny how people can have such different opinions :O (P.S. Even though Nico and Kotori are on the lower end of my list, I get soooo happy whenever I scout their cards on sif because their cards are always GORGEOUS. So are Rin's!!!)
Aw. Nico is my best girl. But I'm glad you don't HATE her I appreciate people like you.
Mine is
Nozomi
Nico
Honoka
Maki
Umi
Eli
Kotori
Rin
Hanayo
This was a great video! You gave me a new appreciation for Kotori. I totally agree with your fudge cake explanation too.
I love all of the girls, but I find it just comes down to who you relate to most. Rin is my personal favourite - I just wish she had more focus in the show.
My Top 10
1.Eli (I love her sm she's so pretty and she was my first UR)
2.Umi (Her Voice is The Best)
3.Maki (I love her Voice a lot too and i love her Hair lol)
4.Nozomi (Her Voice is so calming)
5.Rin (NYA!Cat's are her spirit Animals)
6.Nico (I love her too and she's cute,but i dont like it,when she says,that she's the best...i think it's kinda egoistic)
7.Hanayo (I like her,but her Voice is sometimes just no so great for me...srry)
8.Kotori (I kinda like her Voice too,but...it's a bit too high for me)
9.Honoka (I like her,but it kinda starts to annoy me,that she's The Center of almost every Song of Muse)
10.A-rise (They might be the Rivals of Muse,but still,they're kinda great ;) )
I've been waiting for this video to come out! My best girl has always been Rin. In the beginning it was just because I found her to be the cutest girl when picking my starter but after I got to know what kind of person she was I just fell in love with her. Her energetic personality is just so darn loveable and her trying to accept her femininity really got me because I completely understand how hard it is to go from being the tomboy to a girl who actually looks like a girl. Her friendship with Hanayo also makes me melt. Its just so absolutely precious.
I hope you do a top N girl video soon! The N girls really deserve more love because a lot of their character designs/personalities are so great and I just adore them.
Might as well make a list, eh?
Muse:
1- Umi - I relate to her a lot, plus I guess she just is the Moe type I like?
2- Hanayo- she is just a bottle of adorableness AHAHBEGEGTZJNEBAHAAHHHHHHH
3- Nozomi- I don't know why... I just really like her!
4/5 - Maki & Kotori - I can't say who I like better, one one hand there is a Tsudere who is just overall.... Tsudere...y? And then there is a girl who is way too nice for her own good (I relate)
6- Rin - I love Rin! Just not as much as the other girls above. She is adorable and a great friend to Pana
7- Eli - once again, I really like Eli, just not as much as the other girls. I don't know why I don't like her as much (also, I'm VERY Eli cursed on LLSIF)
8- Honoka - not a big fan of characters like her. But her story is amazing
9- Nico - I'm sorry! Don't hate me! Nico just is kinda bleh to me... Her cockyness really throws me off with the whole "I'm just best in the universe!" But all that aside, she is very iconic to the franchise
i also love hearing people rambling on about things, and this was rlly nice! maki happens to be my best girl, but rin and hanayo are close seconds, so its nice to hear people talking about pana, especially since she doesnt get the spotlight very often. and, because youre like the first person ive seen talking about it, nozomaki is otp: their scene at the beach and makis worry about nozomi on her focus episode were a+++
I love all muse and A-Rise equally. They all have their own unique personality so no one is better than the other in my opinion. There's nothing really to hate about any of them. Even if people hate them well... the more hate, the more love. what I always say.
but um... Aqours is there. (need to know more about them first from anime.)
This kinda made me wanna cry.. You describe them so lovely ^^
My list:
1. Eli
2. Nozomi
3.Hanayo
4.Rin
5.Honoka
6.Kotori
7.Maki
8.Umi
9.Nico
//scrolls through comments
//finds someone who has eli as no 1.
OH YEESH FAM IM SO ROUD OF U XD HARASHO X3
Satan XD
InklingSethO lol thanks
InklingSethO I'm sorry but its just my opinion.
Exactly!
Okay, I'm only like 6 minutes in, but after hearing you talk about editing this so much, I gotta say that this really, really paid out. The editing is amazing and so polished and probably your best work yet by far.
I love Hanayo, she's such a precious cinnamon roll and I especially love how excited she gets over idols and rice! Also Shikaco (her seiyuu) is real cute too
My best girl is Kotori, and it made me really happy hearing you talk about her strengths, weaknesses and that. I've seen the same hate myself, down to my own best friend not liking her cause she thought the fact she didn't speak up near the end of S1 was annoying. What people don't understand is characters do have flaws and flaws help make a character shine and empathize with, and the end of s1 really helped me love her a lot.
I really agree with you, and I relate to her a lot myself. Also her maid outfit is so cute! (I've always had a thing for maids so... lol)
I agree with pretty much everything you've said. Especially Nozomi. Heck, Nozomi's my third best girl after Hanayo and the points you said were dead on why I don't like her as much as I do Kotori or Hanayo. Anyways, great video! Thank you for it. It's kind of weird but watching you talk about the girls the way you do even made me tear up a bit? You're so enthusiastic, and I think that's why I really enjoy watching your videos. HECK I don't really comment on RUclips anymore but I wanted to comment on this! Thanks!
Nozo should be higher I feel personally attacked
I agree she is my best girl, I'm shook-
I loved how you detailed so much how you feel about every character... When you talked about Honoka, you almost made me cry since it was so deep but I bursted in tears when you talked about Kotori, I always say that she is my waifu and that I wished that she was my actual girlfriend bcs she is So caring and when you started talking about how she tries to make everyone happy, I felt so identified by that... I dont event know.. I have been playing Siff for a year and your vídeos have been helping me with the game and I think I understand every character more!! thanks for these awesome vídeos!
My list is similar, only my top 5 are differnt.
5 = Hanayo
4 = Kotori
3 = Maki
2 = Eli
1 = Honoka
HONOKA FANS
ITS NICE TO SEE YOU
Nice so see you too (:
Honoka is best :D Started LLSIF with her as my initial R Card and hadn't watched the anime before that^^
+PredictableFailing
HONOKA NEEDS MORE LOVE
hixxa. annatalie
I could't agree more (:
Honokaa
It's great that you love every μ's member! (Arise too) Of course everyone has preferences, but I love how you appreciate them all
There was a manga? I didn't think there was one but is the manga different from the school idol diaries?
Yep! The manga and anime were in development at the same time, and the manga was published slightly ahead of the anime originally. The plot and character relationships differ a bit from the anime too, so it's interesting read and look at all the differences!
+ErynCerise is it similar to the storyline of the show?
+ErynCerise Do you know were I can buy it.
Are the diaries in English
only llike 7 of them.
Thank you for this video!! I've been confused as to why I was so deadly against the opinion that Honoka was selfish at the end of series one, and you've just shown me why. Also, I wasn't sure why I like Eli so much other than shipping NozoEli really hard (Nozomi is my best girl), but again, you've just shown me why. I also strongly agree with everything you said about Kotori's personality. For me, each of the girls' flaws is what makes them perfect. Again, thank you for this video. Great work!
My list:
9. Hanayo
8. Hanayo
7. Hanayo
6. Hanayo
5. Hanayo
4. Hanayo
3. Hanayo
2. Kotori
1. Hanayo

Who is your favourite again?
You added some interesting perspective to the characters! I only got into Love Live recently, and when I watched the series I was more watching it to see if I would like it or not, not really paying too much attention to little character details that you pointed out in the video! It makes me want to rewatch the series! I think (for now) my best girl list would go something like this:
1. Maki/Umi: I like their designs and their voices are probs my faves! Plus, they both remind me of myself in some ways personality-wise (wooo this EN SIF event is gonna kill me)
3. Eli: She's mostly here for her voice, not super deep and not super high pitched. Nice design too!
4. Hanayo: She's cute and funny! Sometimes I like her voice, sometimes I don't. (Actually, when I started the series I would've put her at #1 with Maki and Umi!)
Now, 5-9 really fluctuate but I think I'll say:
5. Nozomi: Despite the fact that I hate the groping thing, I still really loved her character arc and learning that she moved a lot really resonated with me. Her voice is my least fav of the group, though. Moshimo Kara Kitto is a great song though, her vocals shine in there!
6. Kotori: Her singing voice is one of my least favs, but her design and personality are really nice!
7. Honoka: Like Eli, her voice is not too tangy. Also AMAZING characterization! But besides that, she doesn't stand out too much for me.
8. Rin: I actually loved her arc and her voice is very interesting! Besides that, she doesn't stand out a lot (similar to Honoka)
9. Nico: I love her (edit: esp her her character arc) but she just kind of ended up here? Also, probably 2nd least fav vocals.
and of course, A-RISE at 10 bc even though there's not much characterization for them, I love their songs! (DANCING DANCING DONT STOP MY DANCING)
I can't wait to see a LL!SS!! Top 10 from you! c:

I love all the love live girls though and they're all beautiful and well thought out characters and I actually started crying whilst you spoke about kotori because it just summed up why I love her so much.
millionlives We have the same best girl for muse and aqours ;o;
I agree with so much of your list!! Kotori started as my best girl, and whilst she still is a very solid second and practically tied for first on occasions, Eli has sneaked up on me and taken her spot. I think it comes from rewatching the anime and finding Eli a character I really aspire to in terms of commitment and work ethic, and someone I can relate to in terms of her perfectionism and loyalty towards her friends

BIG agree on the nozomi "washi washi" thing, i really like nozomi but her groping the other girls at times ruins her character for me :s
also my best girl is eliiii
I just adore your enthusiasm and love for this franchise (and others! I hope to hear about your Pokémon Go experience someday) and this video was amazing to watch!
I would write about my faves, but writing on phone takes forever even though I am a swiper-typer. So I wanted to at least tell you how I enjoyed this. Thanks for making it~
You'll be able to hear me talk about Pokemon Go soon! I just recorded a video podcast type thing that'll be going up on Victor Frost's channel in the near future. Will let people know when that's up! Keep an eye out! :D
And thanks! Glad you enjoyed! ^^
MAKI IS BEST GIRL ILY MAKI

Maki is the best ;)
MAKI IS BY BABY
totty Maki is life😌🌸
totty maki's over rated
You're just awesome and I totally love your dedication to the fandom. I've bien following you for a while on RUclips and Twitter and, even if I usually coment on videos, this time I couldnt help myself. Your videos are SO entertaining to watch and well made that they made my day really.
Finally, and talking about this video, I really agree with everything you said about everything girl, even if my top 9 isnt exactly the same (but close enough), and I really admire someone Who can express politely their opinion. U Go Girl!! Lots of love from Spain~
Though Hanayo isn't my favorite, she is an adorable fluffy rice ball!
Ohhh my god, it makes me so happy that Hanayo is your fave. You literally explained the exact reason why I love her so much bless. Also I will fight everyone that calls her voice annoying she is a precious baby.
mine is
1. Eli
2. Umi
3. Rin
4. Nozomi
5. Nico
6. Hanayo
7. Kotori
8. Maki
9. Honoka
and talking about Aqours...
1. Mari
2. Yohane
3. Hanamaru
4. Dia
5. Riko
6. You
7. Kanan
8. Chika
9. Ruby
Yoshiko Pants lol my best gurls are Eri and Mari too
Nozomi is best girl for me because she's always there for the other members, giving them heart worthy advices (in ma opinion) and she's really pretty and kind let's just not add the whole washi washi thing ok? XD
I know nobody would care about ma list but hey I still wanna share it~
9. Maki ( don't get me wrong she's very pretty and everyone in the fandom loves her! But the only thing is that I don't really like tsunderes as much as others, there's nothing I can change about maki's personality, and just because I put maki on the bottom list doesn't mean I hate her every muse girl is my best girl but there's just one that stood out and grew on me more than the others.)
8.Umi ( she was originally my 3rd best girl but I rewatched the anime and the others just kinda grew on me more, but theres nothing really wrong with Umi, she's perfection.)
7. Eli ( Ah yes our favorite Russian bae, who wouldn't decline Eli? She's very pretty and she has a very lovely singing voice as well
:3 )
6. Kotori ( Kotori is sooo awesome I think I'm the only person in the fandom who would put her this low on a list, I have nothing to argue with her, there's nothing wrong with kotori other than she didn't really get that much development on season 2. That's just it yeah )
5. Hanayo ( the things that I love about hanayo is that she's very plain and she's really shy and kawaii and duh she's the rice goddess 😏, but some people put her quite low on there lists because she doesn't stand out much, but for me hanayo is
P.E.R.F.E.C.T )
4.Rin ( I don't really like girls who are really sporty but how can you not resist Rin? Like bruh she likes cats, acts like a cat and nya. And her backstory is very relatable so yeah )
3. Nico ( Honestly what is there to hate about the no. 1 school idol in the whole damn universe? And she has very supportive siblings ( I ship NozoNico 😏 , but only thing is about her singing voice, I don't really have the right to say that Nico's singing voice is awful, no it really suits her and it's quite lovely to her when your listening to an energetic song and oh yeah! One more thing!
NICO NICO NI~~!.
2. Honoka ( she's very passionate on being a school idol and being a leader to muse, she's very positive and I also adore her singing voice it's quite lovely )
1.NoZomI ( for me she is like this...
Nozomi Tojo= my everything, my energy, my happiness and my...cookies 😏🍪)
WASHI WASHI~! ( Don't hate me pwease xD)
I don't know why so many people hate Nico ;-;'
Same. I agree a lot of people Like Nico but A LOTTT of Nico don't like Nico. I see why people don't like Nico. But I wish more people like her more. I'm just glad Eryn doesn't hate her unlike some people.
Also I have a Nico problem. I have a bad obsession XD I worship Nico. She is my queen
+Yukiina Yazawa My friends said that I need to care more about me than Nico :v I don't know why people bullying my waifu ;-; but I really don't like the position that Nico is in this video :|
+Rita Zhu same :/ people are like wtf you care about Nico more than yourself
Me: she is my child and my queen and my everything :D
+Yukiina Yazawa same xD only NicoLovers can understand that felling :")
exactly nico is everything and life XD its sad she gets so much hate she doesnt deserve the hate she gets
Seriously.... where is the Aqours list?
Especially since the movie is out and we have a Nijigasaki anime coming out
I'm for you praying for Top 10 songs ...
IM PRAYING FOR AFTER SCHOOL NAVIGATORS IN IT
Hahaha, such a list probably won't come out for a while. I do want to make it eventually, though! xD Gonna nip you in the bud though just so you're not hanging on edge for months: ASN wouldn't be in my top 10. It's a great song! I love it! But the Love Live discography has so many great songs that it means a bunch of those great songs don't make it into one's personal top 10.
oh jesus at the end when you mentioned that you talked so much about them i realized that i watched your 30min video... 30min... and i cried at some points because i remembered so many sad scenes in the anime and oh my gosh... i really never cried so much in a fandom than the LL fandom.
almost every character makes me cry and laugh at the same time. when i get sad i just listen to their music (especially sunny day song) and it makes me so happy that i break out in tears and i can't tell anymore if i cry because i'm sad or because i'm happy
this show and game is confusing my feelings and i god damn like it and every single character in it (Nozomi is the best so pls all stay away who hate her)
My list goes
1. Maki
2.Nozomi
3.Umi
4.Eli
5.Rin
6.Hanayo
7.Kotori
8.Nico
9.Honoka
I'm happy to see Kotori so high up on your list! I feel like she's one of the least appreciated members but she's my best girl despite what people say and I don't see that changing anytime soon.
Eryn, I know that a lot of fans are gonna be salty about this list, but honestly this list was so well put together compared to any other character list I've seen. You focused more on the girls' good qualities than their bad qualities, and that's amazing! I think that more people could have this outlook while looking at characters or just being in fandoms in general. Rin (next to Honoka) is my best girl, and even though you ranked her low, you only pointed out the things you loved about her, and I love that! You are a very nice and considerate person, much like Kotori, and you know, I love Honoka for the same reasons you do
My list: (and I don’t hate any of the girls btw)
1. Nico! (NICO NICO NII)
2. Rin (she’s adorable)
3. Honoka (I like her personality)
4. Hanayo (She’s So cute)
5. Umi
6. Kotori
7. Maki
8. Nozomi
9. Eli
Aqours:
1. Dia (best girl)
2. Yohane/Yoshiko
3. Hanamaru
4. Riko
5. Chika
6. Ruby
7. You
8. Mari
9. Kanan
:D YES Dia is best girl as well, just a bit sad that Kanan is worst. (She’s my second)
