Reviewing my own interests(MEssy Rant)

Looking back on this blog, I feel second-hand embarrassment on behalf of my own interests. Particularly on behalf of Lolirock, because as much as I loved the show it had a lot of hiccups that now that I think about can't exactly be overlooked. Particularly the bit where Talia is the main focus of a song ONLY once, while Ariana gets only a couple seconds of Show Stealing, the music and division of parts gets better in the second season. Iris gets "Shanila" powers at the end, even though Talia and Ariana mention that everyone goes through Shanila how is it that only Iris is the one who uses those "Shanila" powers? To be fair, Talia gets her "powers of Izira moments as well" Well Ariana just gets the story of a long lost brother,  though we know she has a lot of siblings, they never show up in the show and we don't understand the impact it has on her character because Ariana is just a cheerful upbeat boy crazy girl on a regular basis. 

 It's just sort of annoying, similar with Bloom. Because Iris is the protagonist she gets this special halo that makes me fall out of love with her(though I never really liked Iris anyway, I mean I appreciated her existence but I can't say she was ever a favorite, she just seemed like the typical nice girl, I did appreciate her character design though,). At least with Winxclub no matter how cheesy, everyone still got their well-deserved spotlight. Lolirock... not so much. Sometimes...

 The same voice is used for all girls when they sing and let's talk about never being able to hear Ariana's tambourine in songs. *facepalms* It's just. . . funny. Cringey. I still like it... particularly because of Talia and Mephisto, I love their characters and their character  designs soooo much they inspired me for a new story idea that I still feel passionately about getting around to finish(TT. TT). Though Lolirock ends up adding new characters to join the squad in the end, these new additions do not join the band, and for most episodes of the rest of season 2 they don't really show up. Which makes you sorta wonder why they were added to begin with? It just makes me think of Winx Club, Do-re-mi, all the magical girl , girl group shows(Bratz) shows I could think of... it was sorta doing its own thing but at the same time sticking to that sort of genre...formula... if you get what I'm putting down.

I know the team had their difficulties so I won't say much more on that. I feel silly comparing this with Winxclub now. I still love the characters but I have to admit the ball was dropped... maybe from the very beginning and since I was seeing everything with fresh eyes, the little things went over my head until it became more obvious. It... it had potential. I'll just keep it at that.

Moving on to SHOW BY ROCK! It most certainly had that What the fuck did I just watch factor, when watching the first episode for the first time and it will make you want to watch again if you're into the cringey cute Japanese music.


 Heck I made it through so many seasons of Aikatsu! I am soooo guilty! Hmmm. ... Suppose I should talk about Aikatsu later. Who am I kidding, I'm just going to bomb drop these links right here. Who am I kidding I am Aikatsu trash still in denial as to how much I love this series. Even though I don't watch the series anymore... as much...






Also there's Aikatsu Stars, I haven't seen it! But I saw a clip, the animation of the girls have definitely gotten better, she actually does body rolls when she moves! xD I'm dead.
