alright fine, me too. favourite & least favourite sets!

disclaimer: to keep this short(er) I'll mostly focus on why they're fav / least fav respectively, so the latter may sound a bit negative. but rest assured that I don't outright hate any set! most of them I like very much!! except like one or two

also I don't know a lot of set names. so. I'll just go by what I call them.

PoPiPa

• CiRCLING - this set is kirakira dokidoki!!! I was actually rly close to considering Photograph as well, but I just like these outfits a whole lot and they have a rly futuristic but still PoPiPa feel. very very fun cards
• I don't even have a name for this set - this Tae bothers me personally cause her head looks like it was screwed on wrong lol. otherwise I don't have this many problems with the set ... Tae just completely ruins the whole thing for me unfortunately.

AGlow

• Brand New Days - THIS WAS SUCH A CLOSE CALL ghdjkghfkd shoutout to Christmas and the newest set as well!!!! but in the end I have to go for this one because the trained give me the vibe of a dystopian / post-apocalyptic YA novel. and I cannot express how much I love that. this Ran may be one of my favourite cards in the game.
• AGlow Initial - honestly, I just picked this one because it's the most boring. I have nothing against this set. it's neat. AGlow just has rly good sets overall. what can I say.

PasuPare

• Valentine's - I LOOOOOOVE the colours in this set, I love the vibe, I love the Aya 2*, I love this Hina very much, all of them are super duper cute, I've said this before but I wanna eat this set
• GyuuDays - I was this close to putting BS2 (I have personal beef with the outfits & certain poses and don't particularly like how the faces are drawn), but then I remembered this set exists. the colours. I just. do not like the colours at all. nor do I like the poses and expressions. or the untrained Eve, for that matter. uh.

Roselia

• Mermaid - who am I if I don't say Mermaid!!! who AM I!!!!!!! I love all things mermaid. this Sayo is literally my favourite card in the game. they are so PRETTY. who am I if I do not
• Noble Rose 3 - I like neither the colours in these cards nor do I like the outfits. too much blue. I know Roselia is the blue rose but please use less blue. yes, I'm aware Mermaid Sayo is also very blue, but she's underwater it's okay AND AT LEAST THEY'RE NOT ALL THIS BLUE

HaroHapi

• DoReMi - it's incredibly funny to me how many people are saying that the artstyles don't mesh when the reason why I love this set (aside from nostalgia) is that I love that blend. extremely. really all they did was make the lines thicker at parts and the shading snappier, but it works so WELL. it's still BanDori but with a DoReMi edge to it. also the expressions are wonderful and the untrained are so cute and the FAIRIES?? perfect
• Fair & Fluffy - no. I know there's an audience to these kinds of clashingly colourful monster-like sets, but I am not that audience. this event even comes with the only HaroHapi song I don't like. I love fluffy things. but I do not like these fluffy things. best card in the set is Kaoru cause her outfit is so bad it loops back around to being good

mixed band

• Garden - THERE ARE SO MANY GOOD MIXED EVENTS OUT THERE but in the end I can only pick one. shoutout to Christmas Sayohina, Autumn Hagurimi, Musketeer Kaochisa, Bride Evekasu, Groovy Himahagu-- anyway this is like. one of the most beautiful sets I've ever seen. the only problem I have with it is that it's a two 2* event and I'd like more of that gorgeous trained art. that is all
• Lesson to the Future - oh, it pains me to pick this one. I probably like it more than most people. but it is still at the bottom, so ... main issue is I just don't vibe that much with the outfits and that they missed ANOTHER chance to give Sayo glasses. also the colours in the Sayo could stand to be more vibrant (though I love the overall vibe, let her be the strict teacher more often). also this was the second Touko event 3* in short succession, what was up with that
