    Honoka in the anime is incredibly underrated. Most leadership arcs in other stories are about building the confidence to lead people. But Honoka already _has_ that confidence and charisma, so instead her arc tackles a less-discussed leadership dilemma: namely, learning the difference between pushing people to follow your goal and leading a group to achieve their shared vision. S2 of School Idol Project does a fantastic job showing her grow more attuned to the other girls' feelings and using that to fuel her own motivations, rather than it being the other way around as in S1.
    I'm so glad that you touched upon that aspect her character. Great video

    this video genuinely made me cry.
    honoka has been my favourite ficitonal character since i first got into love live. out of all the video games ive played, all the anime ive watched, honoka has been the only one that was able to inspire me so much. everytime i see her on my home screen on all stars, see her as my partner in sif, hear her sing or talk, or just. look at her in general. i instantly start feeling happier. she always makes me feel better when im upset, and i can honestly say with 100% certainty that shes the light of my life. it sounds stupid, but shes inspired me so much and changed me. im insecure about basically everything about myself, but shes made me feel so much better.
    i love her the most because of how realistic and flawed she is. people will call her annoying, or even have her low on her list because of her flaws, or because shes an "overused character trope". but i love her. even if she is annoying, or selfish, or basic, i still love her so much because shes made me feel so much better about myself when no one else could. in the first and third episode, she clearly expresses the fact that she fully expects things to go wrong. like when maki rejected honoka for the first time, and when they had no audience for their first live, she was like, "yeah i expected this" and laughed it off even though she was clearly hurt. i dont say this a lot about anime characters but shes so well written, and just so amazing. shes genuinely made my life better.
    thank you for the amazing video, im glad theres finally someone that cares to look into honokas character more, past the typical happy-go-lucky main character trope.

      kaomisa I feel the same way about her flaws too! They're what make her feel real, and what make you feel happy for her whenever she grows as a person. It hurts watching her make so many mistakes at the end of S1, but then that makes it feel like she really has learned her lesson in the S1 finale and the first episode of S2. To see her pick herself back up and then learn to understand herself and others - nothing could be more inspiring!

  • @Izlyth

    Honoka is the one that kept the group going "we've come so far we can't let it come to waste" she's the light of muse the desire and soul of muse the one that made a new history about idols. She made a group with people who are different but gets along doing what they wanted. She brought a new goal for every member of muse. They are like a light bulb, they give you the light you need but even light bulbs loses it's light and so it was aqours time to shine. Muse was in my opinion the best school idol Umi was right about honoka she has something that ONLY she can do and that's why muse is special, I mean they're names ARE the 9 gods of music. I'm glad Honoka found A-rise because if she didn't I don't think Muse would've formed.

    I love Honoka's character, she's a generic energetic main lead, even though she also has bad side as well. Honoka is actually like to force her way, not aggressively, she also quite egoistic, shown at the part when she wants to quit the group and abandoned muse. But these what makes her character rich, that she's not all the perfect nice and optimistic heroine. No offense but I don't see any other characters with realism like her, at least brought naturally.

    • @akirasaito1551
      @akirasaito1551 4 года назад +10

      I agree that's she's pretty self-centered and forceful, but I actually don't think that her decision to abandon Muse is a good example of that. At that moment, Honoka felt like her goal (winning Love Live) failed, and her best friend is leaving forever, and that it's HER FAULT (and that was also how the show framed and I don't agree with this angle either but that ain't the topic now). She came this far with Muse only for her dream to crumble and destroy her friendship as collateral damage. Honoka was arguably at her weakest and most vulnerable and in need of help. She quits Muse as an act of despair... And then Umi slaps her. Like bruh, no way I would be staying after that.

    Honoka is one of those ditsy yet energetic and optimistic characters that in any other show I wouldn't care about. However, what SIP does that those other shows don't is shows what happens when that character screws up and is on the verge of breaking. The little touches that the writers give her like her struggle to communicate her problems with others until things boil over make her extremely relatable to me personally and that's why she's one of my favorite love live girls

    I love Honoka. Her determination, passion and dedication to becoming a school idol is what I love about her. It makes muse's performance and success even more enjoyable and satisfying. Seeing muse final performance at the end of the love live movie made me cry knowing that they would be disbanding afterwards. Honoka and muse will always hold a special place in my heart.
    The emotional attachment I'm feeling for Honoka is almost the same as how I feel towards Sayori from Doki Doki Literature Club who I've loved since 2018.

    Whenever I was 10, I fell in love with Honoka (and Kotori) instantly after watching the show. At first, before watching the anime, I didn't like her at all. But after watching the show, she and Kotori quickly became one of my best girls. Her determination, her energy, everything basically. The fact that one of the most flawed characters is the leader is a great thing imo. She's an amazing leader and deserves more credit tbh

    In the beginning, Honoka wasn't really that character I payed attention to, since I thought she was the typical main girl, center. But I was wrong. Once I realized how important she was, I began to love her. She was the beginning of Muse and she's just an inspiration despite her being a fictional character. Her willpower makes her important, she took the risk even if she knew they weren't going to pop off as soon as they performed. it was definitely something dangerous since... who'd want to become a school idol at a time of crisis, right? But no matter what they all said, she continued to fight for the school and made Kotori and Umi see a different perspective of things, and soon, the 6 other girls had joined them on the stage.
    Without Honoka, Maki would've stayed distant.
    Without Honoka, Hanayo would've always been that shy kid in class who never spoke up
    Without Honoka, no one would've have made Rin realize that she was more than just the boyish member
    Without Honoka, Nico would've stayed being alone and let her dreams die in becoming a school idol one last time
    Without Honoka, Eli could still be that cold, silent senpai who kept every emotion to herself
    Without Honoka, Nozomi would've only had Eli by her side, and she never would have guessed that she treasured friendship the most
    Without Honoka, there would be no Muse.

Her determination and courage in the face of adversity was admirable from the start, and seeing her quit and even further throw a wrench into the end of season one was gut wrenching. It just almost didn’t make sense, giving up at that point. We would never have this shine without her!

    I haven't seen any of the other anime yet, but as far as the characters of the original go, Honoka is definitely my favourite, with Eli being second and Umi third.

    I'm finishing LoveLive, I've watched SIP and sunshine and I just need to watch the Sunshine movie. these videos analysis makes me appreciate even more the series.
    I started watching lovelive as a joke, fucking dumb anime with cute girl singing, why is it popular??? ah it must be just fan service of cute girls doing cute things LOL XD
    but then... I kept watching, I was asking myself why in the hell am I keep watching this, why am I enjoying this. I couldnt believe that this show was actually good. Now at the end of my journey I can say that LoveLIve has become one of my top anime

    I used to think Honoka wasn't the greatest character because of a lot of the drama at the end of season 1 and all. I knew she was important but I never really liked her as much as Chika because her success outside of the few failures she had felt more like "she could do it because she wanted it". Chika felt more real to me because she didn't lose, get back up and never fail again, but faced permanent failure she could never get another chance at. It is true that Honoka failed to win Love Live, but that wasn't their original goal at all. She even acknowledges this in a scene standing in front of UTX where she says she's fine not being the best. She doesn't outright quit being a school idol until she learns that Kotori would be leaving, which although doesn't disprove your argument, doesn't match up exactly with the catalyst. I feel Chika was handled better to me, but even still you make a lot of great points and finally made me realize what the ending of season 1 was really about. I'd love to see more of this cause I absolutely adore Love Live, and it's nice to see someone else who loves the story as much as I do. Keep up the amazing work!

    Very few people have her as favorite and it really surprises me, although i guess it's because of certain tendency to draw more attention to side characters rather than to the main lead (I know in this story all of them are supposed to be the protagonists, but Honk is the leader, she is still a bit more of a mc than the others). Honoka is plain looking if we compare her to Eli or Maki, and going further into her character, people seem to pay too much attention to her mistakes and forget that µ's would have never existed and prospered if not for her being the founder and the leader and the unstoppable force that took all nine of them to a place they could've never reached if any other person took her place. I guess it's because her flaws are shown in more detail and that her looks don't place first place among the other girls that some people don't care about her. Or the one who watches anime with a more critical view of how characters behave can find her annoying. Nevertheless, I wouldn't care about this franchise that much if Honoka wasn't in it. You can do things because you force yourself to do them, but finding a motivation just makes you go all out and makes you reach new heights you never knew you could reach by yourself. In the µ's ecosystem, Honoka is the sun, the light, the one who shines above all of them. She got the best out of everyone else. She saved all of them. I love her character so much because I watched it in a very sad time in my life and she shone so brightly I could forget all my problems when watching her. Her smile and her attitude are simply wonderful. I hope more people appreciate her character; she deserves way more love than she gets.
