so a thing I've been doing lately a little bit at a time is watching the original love live anime, which finally materialized on cr at some point while I wasn't looking, And.

this group hasn't made as much of an impression on me from other media for whatever reason, so I went into this without preconceptions about who the best girl was (I think maki is my current frontrunner), but that's not the point.

the point is I'm in the middle of episode 5 and at some point this went from "nico is a lunatic" to "nico is the protagonist of a horror movie"

you can't be a love live character unless you're on at least one watchlist

fff

update: episode 10
nozomi: to maki: I just thought you're a handful, too
maki thinking, probably: oh no she's gonna grab

also in this episode: nozomi says kettei at one point
