Okay, let's talk Aokana: Four Rhythm Across the Blue. You know, that anime/visual novel with the flying shoes? It's all about the characters, right?
Everyone has their favorite. I'm here to stir the pot a bit.
The Obvious Choices
Let's get the popular girls out of the way first. Asuka Kurashina. Sweet, determined, a bit clueless at times. She’s the poster child.
I get it. She’s adorable and tries her best. But isn't she a *little* too perfect?
Then there's Misaki Tobisawa. Energetic, competitive, and a total ace in the sky. She's a fan favorite, too.
I can't deny her skills, but sometimes her enthusiasm feels a bit much. Like, dial it down a notch, Misaki!
My Unpopular Opinions
Ready for some truth bombs? Buckle up!
Rika Ichinose
Okay, hear me out. Rika deserves more love. She's quiet, observant, and a strategic genius.
Everyone overlooks her because she's not as flashy as Asuka or Misaki. But she's the brains of the operation!
Plus, her dry wit is seriously underrated. She needs a spinoff, I swear!
Madoka Aorigi
Now, let's talk about Madoka. She can be a bit...intense. Always looking out for the team.
Some might find her overbearing. I think she's just fiercely loyal.
She clearly cares deeply about everyone, even if she shows it in a strange way. Don't judge a book by its cover, folks!
Masaya Hinata
Alright, this one might get me cancelled. Masaya, the protagonist. He's... fine.
He's supportive and acts as a good coach. But compared to the girls, he's kind of bland.
Am I the only one who thinks he's a little too passive sometimes? Where's the passion, Masaya?
The Underrated Gem
But my absolute favorite? Drumroll please...
Minamo Shirase
Minamo! That's right! I said it!
She's the quirky, fun-loving older sister figure. She's always there to offer advice and support.
She's not competing, doesn't have a hidden agenda. She just wants everyone to have a good time. And she's rocking those glasses!
Plus, she has the best facial expressions in the entire series. Fight me.
"Minamo is the best girl, and I'm willing to defend that to the death!"
Final Thoughts
Look, I love all the characters in Aokana in their own way. Each brings something special to the table.
But some characters just resonate more than others. And for me, it's all about the underdogs.
So, who's your favorite Aokana character? Don't be shy! Let me know in the comments, even if you disagree with my (obviously correct) opinions.
Just try to keep it civil. We're all friends here...probably.
