Favorite Poppin’ Party Character

this post is really cheesy imsosorry

Saaya always has, and always will be, my favorite character from the Bandori franchise. She has a beautiful voice, and I’ve always been a huge fan of her seiyuu, Ohashi Ayaka! I’ve always loved her kind, mothering personality, and I adore her friendship with all of the PoPiPa girls too! Besides the obvious reasons for liking a character, there’s a little bit more to why I love Saaya as much as I do. I think most people discovered Bandori through the game, but I actually found it through the anime! When I saw Saaya, I was instantly drawn to her due to her cute character design. However, after learning more about Saaya, I started to see a bit of myself in her. I usually don’t care if characters share similarities with myself or not, but this time was different. Saaya’s mother is often sick, which means she’s left with a lot of responsibilities at home, which is something I directly relate to. Although I’m the youngest of three children (myself included), my family has always relied on me in a similar way, but I also related to her mother being ill. My own mom has a lot of medical issues, and I often found myself thinking back on my own struggles while watching Saaya’s story unfold. I’ve never been able to completely understand how a character is feeling so well before, which is why Saaya will always be my best girl.
