Synopsis

Freshly graduating middle school, energetic 15-year-old Hiyori Suzumi moves from her coastal hometown to Tokyo, pursuing her dream of being a track and field runner. Unfortunately, as soon as her first high school year begins, she faces an imminent problem that ultimately causes her to find a part-time job to cover living costs.

After searching through countless prospective workplaces, Hiyori stumbles upon a posting looking for event staff, to which she gets accepted against all odds. It is revealed that she will be working as a manager-in-training for LIPxLIP, a rising male idol group composed of Yuujirou Someya and Aizou Shibasaki—both of whom are coincidentally her classmates. Despite this shocking revelation, Hiyori is resolved to do her best with balancing her studies, her ambition, and most importantly, her role as LIPxLIP's attendant.

While a 9 might be a little high I chose to score it as such because I was genuinely surprised by my own enjoyment of it. I am so used to trashy romances where some protagonist has a harem of horned-up women so this was a severe change of pace for me and I enjoyed it very much. The protagonist is bubbly and very likable and the two male leads are also likable characters in their own ways. What really sold me was the way the two male leads actually come together and a realistic fashion, it's not your usual anime with a lazy "and ...

Ah… it happened again. Yet another good anime ruined by its last episodes. What can I even say? It is a shame indeed.

Heroine Tarumono! is about a boyish, straightforward girl that goes to the city to pursue her dream, track and field.

Turns out, it was a recruitment for the manager-in-training for LIPXLIP! And, surprisingly, she was hired, due ...

Wow. Two anime based off of music videos this season. Both of terrible quality. Plus, both adaptations are from creators that create Vocaloid songs. Which is also the only reason I watched them both.

Everything is half baked in this show. Think to yourself for a moment here: what exactly was the focus here? Characters? Barely enough. Maybe a deep social commentary on stalkers? Not really, more like a passing theme and shallow plot point entice the viewers. Maybe the struggles of the idols? Yeah...not really that too.

This show does ...
