Note: this only includes the LIVE audience of the performances in ep3+4, plus the additional 3,000 bonus votes. Whoever won out of the two groups that performed the song got 3,000 bonus votes.

Second note: These are essentially useless rankings as they weren't actual fan votes submitted online/through mobile.

Third note: Tumblr hates ties in lists. Use the vote count to determine a tie. Most everything from rank 36 onward is a tie.

Want to reclaim autonomy so they have sex on their own terms.

As a result of abuse and trauma:

It was similar to what happened to Indigenous Pasifika in those haole sanctioned schools in Oceania and Indigenous people in the residential schools in turtle island

Kidnapped in front of their childhood friends as their friends ran to call the aid of their Asian Pasifika demigod and Afro Latine Native alien hybrid parents.

Blackbirded (or native kidnapped, exploited, and enslaved from their indigenous lands) from their home in Polynesia

Blackbirded (or native kidnapped exploited and enslaved from their indigenous lands) by metahuman and superhuman traffickers 

Blackbirded and forced to mine alien ore on colonized terraformed planetoids, asteroids, and comets colonized by the Terran Dominion

Blackbirded and forced to pick alien planets on alien crop plantations  on colonized terraformed alien moons and planets colonized by the Terran Dominion 

Human and alien non native settlers took advantage of their illiteracy of certain alien languages as a demigod and alien hybrid child. 

They were forced to pray to their gods instead of their own 

They were captured and taken to a place where metahumans and superhumans like them were forcibly assimilated by human and alien traffickers for the illegal space black market 

They were forced to speak their tongue instead of their own language

Their long hair as a Afro Latine and Asian Pasifika was forcibly cut and they were forced to wear unfamiliar and uncomfortable clothes to condition them

Generational trauma of Samoan, Tongan, and Hawaiian ancestors and Amerindian Indigenous of South America who went through similar things on earth because of English and Spanish settlers

Experimented on by the scientists of the settler colonizer government of earth as part of a black project on a black site to become a metahuman and superhuman child soldier till they were a young adult 

They were denied food and water to break them and to discourage others from rebelling against them as he/she/they were seen as the leader and protector of the others as the oldest 

When rebellion and escape was thwarted they were interrogated and tortured

Gladiatorial pit fighter that fought magical and alien humanoids, beasts, creatures, animals, & monsters for the enjoyment of rich human and alien elite on an alien planet 

Escaped and became a rebel soldier later rebel leader who fought against terra government once they learned Earth was responsible 

Captured and tortured by Earth and Terra government 

Brainwashed and mind controlled to become a metahuman and superhuman super soldier for the Terran Dominion space military to conquer worlds to expand earth’s dominion and hegemony over several solar systems and a few galaxies

Fought in proxy wars across Asia, Europe, Africa Oceania, Australia, and the Americas as a metahuman and superhuman child soldier when they were a child until they were a preteen 

Fought in proxy wars in many planets, several star systems, and a few galaxies as a metahuman and superhuman child soldier when they were a teenager until they were a young adult

Fought against Earth and the Terran Dominion after they were free through telepaths and empaths of the rebel army from the mind control and brainwashing (by human and alien telepaths and empaths of the Terran military)

Is stateless or someone without a nationality as a result and repercussion of him/her/them leading the rebellion, revolution, civil war, and insurrection against the Earth and Terran Confederation to take them out of power. Most were able to escape Earth, seek asylum in neighboring solar systems, or go into hiding in outer rim galaxies. 

Unfortunately the consequences for Valeria Garcia, Joanna Jacobson, & Kana’i Makoa Latu/Ataahua Kamalani Latu, the leaders (of the insurrection, revolution, civil war, and rebellion) unfortunately are more severe. 

He/she/they were told if they returned home to Oceania or South America as an Asian Pasifika and Afro Latine Native they would be assassinated (by spec ops and black ops paramilitary operatives or military supersoldiers) or captured (and imprisoned on a black site prison planet) by the occupying settler government of Earth. 

After the creation of the Federation composed of the now independent and sovereign Sol, Vega, & Polaris Systems most were allowed to return home by the new intergalactic government of this cosmic alliance after the fall of Earth and the Terran Confederation. 

Brainwashed, conditioned, & mind controlled to become a corporate samurai and cyber ninja for mega corporations.

Was a contract killer hitman, shinobi/kunoichi cyber ninja assassin, private soldier, & mercenary for mega corporations.

Fought in international and intergalactic corporate wars for national, international, & intergalactic mega corporations.

Broke out of mind control and conditioning to become a street samurai and hacker. 

Brainwashed, conditioned, & mind controlled to become a supervillain without their consent 

Became an antihero out necessity yet didn’t agree with the current superhero ideology 

Chose to become a superhero out of their own choice and agency

As a demigod and alien hybrid he/she/they went through many demanding and grueling trials even for a metahuman and superhuman to become a champion and hero. After completing them once they died as a mortal they were given divinity and became a full god/goddess/third gender deity

Died several times. Few as a demigod. Few as an alien hybrid. Resurrected a few times.

Died stopping a super weapon from being fired stopping the Terrran Hegemony from committing intergalactic genocide. The reason they died stopping the super weapon is. The super weapon was going to be fired by the Terran hegemony/dominion/empire to commit intergalactic genocide to get a few star systems or a galaxy to surrender to them. They were sent to destroy it by a self-destruct button on a console deep inside the facility of the super weapon. The terran dominion/empire got wind of this and sent an agent to destroy it. Making them destroy it manually with a bomb. They died weaponizing the warhead and destroying the super weapon.  Died stopping the Galaxy Buster. 

When they died they were buried in a metal coffin to be shot out into space after a military funeral as a former super soldier. One of their alien spouses and partners who can fly using solar radiation picks up the coffin after using a star fighter. She flies out to the star system (of her home giant planet) that has a few suns, several moons orbiting each planet, & many planets orbiting the suns. She puts the spacecraft on autopilot and sets a flight path around the orbits of the stars, moons, & planets. She puts them inside a power armor with a jetpack. She proceeds to take them out of the coffin and opens up the cargo bay. She then has them absorb solar radiation, lunar rays, & cosmic energy from her star system to revive him/her/them by inputting the orbit to the ai of their personal power armor suit. 

After absorbing all these rays, energy, & radiation they are revived but also dangerously supercharged from all the excess energy and radiation. Like a few hundred percent more than normal as a demigod and alien hybrid. They were like a mini star about to go supernova. Their hair, eyes, skin, hands, feet, & mouth were blazing with energy. Optic blasts from their eyes, breath blasts from their mouth, & energy blasts from their hands were radiating with power. The power armor suit was able to absorb some of the excess energy to overcharge the defense and offense abilities of the suit but not enough to absorb all of the excess energy. Thinking that an enemy force comes to fight them, seeing them, their alien spouse and partner, & knowing some parts of their alien hybrid ancestry as a result of being an enemy of their alien hybrid mothers people. And the revived demigod and alien hybrid proceeds to fight them to burn the rest of this energy.

Died from stopping a large meteorite from destroying a space frigate. Kanaloa Hawaiian God of the Underworld in some more modern reimaginings. He is a student of Milu. He revived him/her/them. He/she/they met him in a metaphysical trial since he is a god of the underworld. It was a trial of reflection since he asked him/her/them to be introspective in this trial.

Died fighting for the rebel army against them once they were freed by allies that the ship cruiser frigate corvette or battle cruiser they were on was shot by plasma or laser batteries or cannons that shot them out into space and they died from lack of oxygen. The power armor suit was locked by the AI and it wasn’t permanent death but it does count as they were clinically dead for several minutes. Also has consequences on them physically mentally and emotionally after since death shouldn’t be a simple thing even for a demigod and alien hybrid character. A dream-like trial occurs in the afterlife before they come back to life. Haumea, the Hawaiian goddess of birth, talks to them in the afterlife to help their rebirth.

They were killed by a behemoth created by adamantine, mithril, divine iron, heavenly bronze, stellar titanium, & celestial steel and other magical metals. A monster made sentient by arcane and esoteric aether and nether. It was created by demigods, deities, & titans. It was commanded by enemy gods and goddesses. The being was sent to destroy a  county by enemy gods and goddesses upon hearing their demigod existence. It was sent by the Norse as a rival pantheon. It was sent as a result of Odin, old king of the Norse gods, learning the relationship between the Asian Pasifika and Afro Latine Native demigod and alien hybrid and their Norse demigod partners. The partners being Aesir Ylva Helga Olafsdottir (Asgardian and Vanir hybrid demigod child of Skadi) and Josefine Yrsa Hansen (Norse demigod child of Freya). He/she/they sacrificed themselves by overloading their alien hybrid and demigod powers to destroy the monster to save a county in a colony of indigenous and citizens of color that were targeted when it was sent to find him/her/them. 

They were revived by being placed in a healing vat or regeneration tank full of blue, purple, & green liquids that healed them as an alien hybrid. The healing vat also had nanites that repaired, upgraded, & customized their cybernetic and bionic implants and enhancements.

They were slain by a spear with a blade made by the strongest metals in the omniverse that cut through the chest of their power armor. The power armor’s weak point was exposed by an explosive javelin coated with unknown substances that pierced the back of their power armor. The javelin was thrown from across the battlefield. After it pierced their armor it exploded. It was created by remnants of the earth government and Terran dominion regime. It was wielded by a leader of the Forces of Evil. 

When they were brought back to life, because of how they died, what happened to them when they were alive, what happened to them in the afterlife, & how they were brought back to life.

Their mind was possessed, their heart was corrupted, their mana was contaminated, their soul was tainted, & their body was decayed. They had to be purified and healed by nanites, medicine, healers, potions, and magic when they were resurrected by talismans, charms, & amulets.

Life

What am I doing in this life? I can't wait to just disappear completely and drown myself into oblivion. Everyone is having a hard time and no one could care less about each other. I constantly ask God past few months but now, I won't ask anymore. Even if I don't know the answers, maybe I will never know. If reincarnation is a thing, I don't want it. I just want to be in heaven and be with God. There are sudden deaths happening almost every second of every day, and here's me hoping that i'll be next in line. For now, having faith is indeed a challenge but who am I to complain when everything is already having a harder time? I am walking into the waters fixing my eyes on Jesus even if I don't know if I am doing it right. Wala koi laing ikapanghinambog sa Ginoo kay dli ko parehas sa uban na grabe ang pag serbisyo sa simbahan, or even grabe ang pag memorize sa mga nakasulat sa bible, wala koy laing ika offer sa Ginoo kundi akong pagka ako lamang. Akong kasing-kasing, huna-huna, espiritu ug kalag tanan2 na naa skoa, i don't even think about my future anymore and in my mind, if the Lord finally takes me away, I am not worried for the people I'll be leaving behind, especially my family. Kay kabalo ko na kaya nila maski wala ko, for sure manghilak pero i know kaya ra nila hantod sa manigulang sila. All I hope is to give my years to my nanay, tatay and two brothers so that they could live life to the fullest, healthy sila tanan, akoon tanan ilang sakit and even for my friends and strangers, it is okay if all my prayers don't get answered, as long as the prayers of my family and loved ones get answered and as long as it doesn't concern me. Ana ragyud. Sa karon I am living the day, bed rotting, sleeping as if I'm not gonna wake up the next day. Tanan naman sguro sd nakaagi ug pgka depress and i am not in the position para mag dungag2 pa. All i wish and hope ky maulian natong mga tawo na nag sakit, may it be physically, emotionally, mentally, spiritually or even having a hard time financially. Even if naay iring or iro na kamatyunon karon, I am willing to give up my own and let that precious animal live instead. Ug sa tinuod lang some people may view me or my problems as shallow but no one really knows the "real" me except God. Mao sd na ang rason wa nakoi labot kung unsay mga sturya sa mga tawo na nakapalibot skoa, ug gaka anad nako ug unsa ilang pagview sa kung kinsa ko, hala so be it. Dli na nako kapoyon akong kaugalingon ug explain kay mana nako ana ug gikapoy nako. ug dili maminaw ang mga tawo skoa ok ra.. Ang Ginoo najud bahala sa tanan. Ug byaan ko sa tanan, aw ok ra, ug mawala sd skoa tanan, ok rsd. Basta nakabalo ko na ang Ginoo kabalo sa kung kinsa ko ug gihigugma ko sa kung kinsa pd ko. I can't wait to be there Lord, kwaa nako gud hehehe kato akong prayer btaw Lord, please maski kato lang. dli na nako i detalye diri maski kabalo ko wala mn japon makabasa ani kundi ako ra kaugalingon but we don't really know the future dba, basin diay makabalik ug basa akong old future self diri and let's see what will be my realizations after. But sa karon, I am writing here para lng jd naa ko outlet and as if I am talking to you Lord. And I know na even if dili ko mag sulat diri, you still know me, you know my story and you know what I've been through, labaw na sa mga sturya pd na wala nko nahibal an ug mga butang na naka cause ug kasakit skoa. You know it all my Lord. Ikaw najud bahala sa tanan. I've been trying to fix my sleeping schedule but here I am again. gahapon sakto mn ako tulog ky nakatulog kog 10pm kapin tas nakamata kog 6am or 7 ba to, tas ga lanay whole day, tas nag nap nsd inig ka alas 12 sa udto or 1pm na guro tas naka mata nsd alas 5pm, tas karon time check 2:47 AM. unsa naman? kaya pa? might go for a walk later. watch the sunrise. might not. idk. Lord, I wanna see you. I love you. please hear that one prayer of mine. but ofcourse, let your will ALWAYS be done. I give up, I surrender, I already gave up months ago, but if you need me to surrender every hour of everyday, I will do it. Thank you Lord.

Sunrise, a division of Bandai Namco Filmworks, an anime studio which produced animated series within the Love Live! franchise, and Mobile Suit Gundam: The Witch from Mercury, produced this series.

Reprinted from Pop Culture Maniacs and Wayback Machine. This was the fifty-fourth article I wrote for Pop Culture Maniacs. This post was originally published on October 22, 2023.

This anime's plot is simple. Yohane (voiced by Aika Kobayashi) fails her audition to become a music idol in Tokai. She returns to her hometown of Numazu after trying for two years to succeed and failing interviews for part-time jobs. Her mother (voiced by Hekiru Shiina) pushes her to return. She meets her sibling-of-sorts, a talking wolf named Lailaps (voiced by Yoko Hikasa). She encourages Yohane to talk with her childhood friend, Hanamaru (voiced by Kanako Takatsuki), who sells fruits and vegetables. However, there are continual mysterious magical energy surges for reasons unknown. In typical Love Live! fashion, she sings on a tree trunk stage, after remembering good times she had there. Hanamaru praises her singing, while magical energy subsides.

This is only part of the story. Yohane tries to figure out her place in the world, where she fits in, and believes she is a failure because she didn't succeed in her idol auditions. Over the course of Yohane the Parhelion, she realizes that her magic can help people and that she should be honest with herself. There are hints at some romantic vibes between Yohane and Hanamaru, called Yohamaru. This likely overjoys fans of Love Live! Sunshine!! and yuri fans in general. There are episodes when they blush at one another. Even so, these vibes vary from episode to episode. In Love Live! Sunshine!!, Hanamaru and Yohane are childhood friends, and Hanamaru believes that Yoshiko is "an actual angel."

On the one hand, the use of magic, combined with the music and idolness of the franchise, in this series, may garner additional fans. On the other hand, this magic somewhat resembles healing magic depicted in Healer Girl. However, Yohane's powers aren't exclusively for healing. She doesn't have the bear magic or abilities of Yuna in Kuma Kuma Kuma Bear. The energy she exudes is only enhanced when singing with others. This is only possible after Yohane builds friendships with Dia (voiced by Arisa Komiya), who heads the town's administrative bureaucracy. Dia is assisted by her fairy sister, Ruby (voiced by Ai Furihata), and Kohaku (voiced by Mao Ichimichi). Yohane garners positive vibes from the townspeople after becoming a "glorified errand girl" rather than a fortune teller.

Voice acting in Yohane the Parhelion is superb. Kobayashi, Takatsuki, Komiya, Furihata, Inami, Saitō, Suwa, Aida, Suzuki, Asumi, Itō, Kurosawa, and Yamamoto reprise their roles from Love Live! Sunshine!!. The difference is that this series is an alternate world. In addition, Komiya voiced Mana Kase in D4DJ First Mix and Koharu Hōen in Miss Kuroitsu from the Monster Development Department. Furthermore, Saitō previously voiced Miki Fukumoto in Akebi's Sailor Uniform. Suwa voiced Kate Starven in Management of a Novice Alchemist.

Aida voiced protagonist Fūka Miyazawa in the yurish environmental-themed The Aquatope on White Sand. Suzuki voiced Jashin-chan in Dropkick on My Devil!, Miwa Honjō in Tokyo Mew Mew New, and Chiyo in Sweetness and Lightning. Kugimiya voiced Tōko Matsudaira in Maria Watches Over Us, Yamamoto in Paradise Kiss, and Yord in Otaku Elf. Asumi voiced Melty in Gargantia on the Verdurous Planet. Itō voiced Suzuno Kamazuki/Crestia Bell in The Devil Is a Part-Timer!. Kurosawa voiced Misaki Okusawa/Michelle throughout the BanG Dream! franchise, Mitsumi Iwakura in Skip and Loafer, and Ayano Toki in Laid-Back Camp. The latter will have a new season in 2024.

Other voice actors, such as Yoko Hikasa, Hekiru Shiina, Kanae Ito, and M.A.O. (also known as Mao Ichimichi), are talented too. Hikasa voiced Mio Akiyama in K-On!, Lynn Lambretta in Bodacious Space Pirates, Diana Cavendish in Little Witch Academia, the Landlord in The Great Jahy Will Not Be Defeated!, and Kaede Saitō in Encouragement of Climb: Next Summit. This fall, she is voicing Yu Bauer in the yuri isekai I'm in Love with the Villainess and Karen Helvetius in the adventure fantasy yuri The Vexations of a Shut-In Vampire Princess. Shiina voiced Ami Chono in Girls und Panzer. Ichimichi has many roles under her belt, including characters in Is the Order a Rabbit?, Flip Flappers, Teasing Master Takagi-san, Dropkick on My Devil!, Princess Connect! Re:Dive, The Executioner and Her Way of Life, or Birdie Wing: Golf Girls' Story.

Yohane the Parhelion introduces some male characters which is new for Love Live! franchise. The franchise is known for having an all-female or mostly female cast. However, these characters are one-offs. In addition, the gang of three named Million Dollar (Chika, Mira, and Shima), which saves Yohane from being swallowed up by the monsters, is new. This "gang" travels in something akin to the van in Scooby-Doo series, and has special tools and weapons. It's all a bit comical.

It isn't until the third episode that Ruby is formally introduced, after she incorporates herself into Dia's bike. That episode also introduces Mari (voiced by Aina Suzuki) on Warshmier Island. Called the "demon lord" by local townspeople, she can hear sounds from the town and beyond, while sitting in her castle, since her horns are antenna of sorts. She begins a friendship with Yohane, who calls her horns cute. She tells Yohane that she has the power of "resonance." Even so, Mari is afraid that people will see her as weird, but Yohane reassures her, She gives Yohane a present in response. Mari is very mysterious, but also very lonely.

Yohane the Parhelion avoids the focus on teenage idols in high school. Nor does it focus on the ugliness and horrific conditions of Japan's idol industry. While no characters may be relatable to gender nonconforming folks, apart from Kohaku, the characters remain driven, spunky, and gorgeous young women, like other parts of this franchise. A target demographic is straight men, but many women, especially those who are queer, have been drawn to the franchise. As such, the fandom is filled with "women and queer folks" despite belief that "obsessive male fans" dominate the fandom. Surely, some franchise elements engender a male gaze, even if downplayed. Beyond this, the songs are catchy. The girls have personalities which are distinct from one another, even though they aren't like real idols.

While recognizing criticisms and analysis of other parts of the Love Live! franchise, this series stands out. It is connected to Love Live! Sunshine!! but in its own world, as a spinoff fantasy. After all, there are new characters, characters which remain cute in this series. They differ from their portrayals in the aforementioned series. There are some parallels between depictions of Yohane and Hanamaru's childhood in that series and what is shown in this series. In addition, as noted earlier, there is a Yohamaru dynamic in this series, which has resulted in some fanart.

Yohane the Parhelion was only rivaled this summer by BanG Dream! It’s MyGO!!!!! and Birdie Wing. It never directly competed with Birdie Wing, which ended on June 24. However, the aforementioned BanG Dream! series began on June 29, four days after the first episode of this series premiered on Crunchyroll. This series also eclipsed Mobile Suit Gundam: The Witch from Mercury, which ended its 24-episode run on July 2. It would be a stretch to say this is the "best anime ever." But, this series undoubtedly mixes action, cute characters, amazing music and beautiful backgrounds all in one.

Those positive feelings toward this anime are correct. This series is a cute story about friendship and self-worth, rather than singing. The blend between fantasy and idol makes an interesting show. For instance, in the fourth episode, she helps deliver the mail with You (voiced by Shuka Saitō), meets a made from parts Kanan (voiced by Nanaka Suwa), the recycling queen, found in the ocean, named Tonosama (voiced by Nobuo Tobita). As such, this series has some nice themes about reusing and recycling. In some ways, this echoes ethos embodied in Do It Yourself!!. In that series, and the associated manga (which follows a similar storyline), the characters often use materials left behind to make trinkets, and a treehouse.

These scenes mix cute characters and Yohane realizing her place in the world. She recognizes that she is at home in Numazu, by the fourth episode, causing three stars on her magic stick to light up. Her newfound friends have become her chosen/found family of sorts. The fifth episode expands these themes to social awkwardness and acceptance. This is mostly manifested in the character of Mari. She explains that she stays away from everyone for her own self-protection. After people made fun of her as a kid, she refused to return to the town, and fled to the island.

Yohane is the driving force pushing Mari to change. Kanan and You recognize that Mari's lack of self-confidence. Dia points out that when she visited the island, accidents in the town were stopped by notes Mari left behind. In contrast, Yohane metaphorically opens up Mari's heart, recognizing she is shy, and that she worried what everyone thinks about her. This process happens at one step at a time, reflecting the reality that no one changes personalities with a finger flick. Subtly, Yohane encourages Mari to follow her back to town. Even though she does so, she has a panic attack after kids from the town swarm her without warning. By the episode's end, she starts coming out of her shell, posing as a model for photos, and meets Dia, Ruby, and other townspeople for the first time. They thank her for what she has done for their town.

This fear of others isn't unique to Mari or Ruby (who is shy). Take for example, Riko (voiced by Rikako Aida), who came from Tokyo, who lives in the town library which she "borrowed" and later begin living in. On the one hand, she saves Yohane, Mari, and Lailaps from calamity, manifested by cursed lightning and an infection-of-sorts which turns animals rabid. On the other, she lives in a library/home by herself, allowing her to focus on researching strange behavior of the animals. Later, she admits that she feels like an outsider and is bad at making friends. Her view somewhat changes after Mari relates to her, telling her that being shy isn't bad. As such, she commits to staying in town a "little longer" so her skills can benefit the townsfolk.

At the same time, Yohane is often insecure. In one Yohane the Parhelion episode, she worries she can't stand on the forest tree stage because it has been infected. In the episode which follows, she organizes a girl's night. She is overwhelmed after everyone is too excited. As it turns out, she engaged in overwork because she wanted them to acknowledge her and make memories. This manifests in cooking sweets, playing baseball, and bashing a watermelon blindfolded. In another way, the episode criticizes overwork as unnecessary, a common anime theme despite overwork in the anime industry (and declining quality).

Although the episode has slice-of-life vibes, it draws you more into the characters and their lives. It serves an important part of the story. Yohane proposes that all nine (she, Hanamaru, You, Dia, Chika, Kanan, Mari, Riko, and Ruby) sing together, so the town can be saved. On the other hand, Lailaps seems distant and appears to have her own agenda, which is not revealed until later. This happiness doesn't last. Everything goes off the rails in the next episode.

Yohane loses her staff and believes she can't sing without it. Again, her insecurity returns. Even though her new friends help her, she lashes out at Lailaps, blaming her for losing it. Although she apologizes, she admits she was nervous to sing by herself and is glad everyone could join her. In the end, she and her friends sing together in some underwater stage (or at least they think it is underwater). They sing a musical number reminiscent of many settings and songs in the Love Live! franchise.

These musical numbers are mixed with fantasy. It moves Yohane the Parhelion more toward being an idol anime with fantasy flourishes, than a fantasy anime with idol flourishes. For shippers, they were likely excited that episode had some nice Yohane/Hanamaru moments, perhaps disappointing those who shipped Mari and Yohane, for which there is some canon support. This episode sets the stage for the one after, with flashback implying that Yohane gave Lailaps the power to talk.

The episodes that follow raise the stakes. Lailaps goes missing. People think she was kidnapped. Her newfound friends pitch her to find Yohane's childhood friend/companion. Even though Yohane finds her, Lailaps implies that she will only stay by Yohane's side until she is "grown up." She won't be with her forever. This is made worse when Lailaps refuses to attend Yohane's farewell party. This comes after the latter gets a notice for an audition in Tokai.

As is a common theme in Yohane the Parhelion, Yohane's insecurity bubbles to the surface. She isn't sure she wants to attend the audition and believes she isn't ready, although town residents are excited. Yohane attends but is exhausted. She thanks everyone for gathering and giving her the experience she needs to become an idol. The party ends abruptly when Lailaps declares it is cancelled. She unleashes her emotional strain onto Lailaps, asking if she is trying to ruin everything.

Their emotional conflict is not solved. The episode ends with the calamity getting worse than ever. Possessed animals are everywhere. It reaches a fever pitch when, in the 11th episode, Yohane blames herself for everything going wrong. She throws her staff in the water, and refuses to come out of her room. She tells Lailaps that she doesn't have anything special and won't be attending the audition. With Yohane out of the picture, the townspeople are sheltering in place, scared of their lives, and Lailaps leaves, on a quest to get back Yohane's staff.

To get Yohane out of her funk, her friends bring her to a party hosted at a local hotel. With Yohane's self-confidence at a low point, she admits she is grateful. She adds that she can't accept their kindness, declares she can't do anything in return, and is "nothing special." Her friends, like Chika, cheer her up, and remind her of one simple truth emphasized throughout the Love Live!: you don't have to do everything on your own. While they are having a fun time, she agrees to apologize to Lailaps. The latter is barely surviving after rescuing Yohane's staff.

The Yohane the Parhelion penultimate episode begins to wrap up plot threads. Everyone is evacuated from the town, Riko saves a little kid, and Lailaps runs away again. Unlike the time before, Lailaps left so that she and Yohane could bond once again, causing her to recall long-lost memories of a fight between them before she left for Tokai. She realizes that Lailaps knew she was magic all along. In a way, Lailaps is her "mirror," hence second part of the anime's title "Sunshine in the Mirror." She sings a song, in typical Love Live! style, blows up her favorite tree stump stage, and realizes that the staff isn't magic, but she is! Sadly, one result is that Lailaps can only bark since she only was able to speak (in human language) thanks to Yohane's magic.

While this episode disproves those who claimed that Lailaps isn't real, it has more similarities to World Dai Star, than any other series. That latter is a mixed-media project by Bandai Namco Filmworks, created by Egg Firm, and written by Takahiro. Miko Pikazo does character designs. The anime adaptation aired from April to June of this year. In that series, Shizuka is the "sense" of Kokona Ōtori, helping her become a World Dai Star. Regardless of possible sanism (also known as saneism, mentalism, and mental health discrimination/stigma) or plurality metaphor, or yurish undertones, that series differs from this one.

In Yohane the Parhelion, Lailaps is not imaginary or a manifestation of Yohane. Instead, Yohane wishes Lailaps had the power to speak human language at an early age. However, this magic has a time limit, which Lailaps recognized, but Yohane did not. This differs from Elena Castillo Flores bringing a stuffed animal to life in the final season of Elena of Avalor, with her now-emotion-based magic, or Adora turning a unicorn into her mouthy steed, Swift Wind, by accident.

The series finale ends the series on a definite note. Everything seems perilous. Residential evacuation proves difficult. The town is surrounded by infected trees. The administrative bureau even loses power. However, Yohane talks to everyone with her magic and her friends come, allowing them to sing together in hopes they can sing the town. Their song has the typical Love Live! flair. To keep up the suspense, the song ends thanks to overly powerful evil magic.

In line with other themes in Yohane the Parhelion, which emphasize togetherness, and camaraderie, Yohane gets out her funk, comes back, and sings with her friends once more. With combined resonances from she, and her friends, along with everyone in town, the evil energy disappears, with everything back to normal. The reconstruction comes next, with everyone doing their own task in the town, while Yohane says she will stay in town rather than going to Tokai. The reason for this, in her view, is simple: she wants to stay in the place that she loves and do things with people precious to her.

The ending sequence in the series finale has elements of the usual ending sequence, but has some different scenes. There is a post-credits scene in which Yohane says the entire world is song, with happiness, sadness, rage, screams, and says songs change over time. In a possible hint at a continuation, all her friends say they want to sing together again, and she readily agrees. This series is a 13-episode-long sleeper hit. It is neither a wasted opportunity, nor mediocre, but cute.

Although more could have been done with a longer season, Yohane the Parhelion is good for what it was. Even so, a spinoff or second season would be nice. On the other hand, the existing series is wrapped up succinctly. A continuation could muddle that. Whether this finale has Symphogear vibes or not, singing saves the town. The latter somewhat resembles what Steven Universe is known for. Songs are only one part of that series.

I could continue to write about this, either noting that opening song began each episode with a bang, or that some yuri fan sites wrote about the series. This isn't even mentioning the web radio program, associated games, or crossover chibi anime. More than that, I'll remember this series for its talented voice cast, mix of fantasy and idol genres, socially awkward characters, and themes of togetherness and family.

Yohane the Parhelion: Sunshine in the Mirror can be streamed on Crunchyroll.

Etymologically Reducing: Mana Caribe

Mana is Maori. Caribe is Arawak. Our oceans connect us.

Mana Caribe is a real Big Ting. Real Big Love. A Big Up! It is for the Brave People. The Valorant Spirits. The Sovereign Land. This mana is conscious of Indigenous Islanders and our Ancestral Exchanges.

(A love note from Nicolas Del Valle, by Naníki Del Valle)

This exercise of conciousness is introduced by Jamie J. Philbert of the Bois Academy in Trinidad & Tobago. In a series of workshops sponsored by Alanna Morris of I.Am.Arts, Jamie shared her ancestral divinity and wisdom in a journey titled "Re-Imagining Station: Frequencies for Healing and Illustrating African Diasporic Consciousness". "Etymological Reduction" (1) is one practice from Philbert Kalinda Technique (PKT) which observes the consciousness of word choice, intentionality, and verbal manifestation.

(1) Philbert, Jamie J. (2023) Re-Imagining Station: Frequencies for Healing and Illustrating African Consciousness of Week 3, States Of Consciousness: Ritual as Repetition and Fragments/Whole [workshop speech], 3 June 2023, Zoom Meeting.

Mana can mean "Divine Power", "Strength", or "Powerful Nation"

Caribe can mean "Brave People", "Strong People".

My fathers name is Nicolas. That means "victory of the people" in Greek.

Mana Caribe is an embodied honoring of my Father and his legacy. Nicolas was a Chicago-Riken Casike, aliʻi of the Latin Kings. He was also known as Kato. His life was taken one year after my birth, but heʻs always lived through me and entrusted me to carry his legacy. In a delightful zoom conversation with Jamie, she reminded me of the significance of our bodies in academia, as "... our ancestors were not allowed to read and write.. and here we are in these institutions... reading and writing about them!" (2)

(2) Philbert, Jamie J. (2023) Mbongi Sessions, 6 April 2023, Zoom Meeting.

My entire academic career is a tribute to the sacrifice my Father made for me. Through my spiritual growth and journeys, he lives vicariously in all that I do, even if I am unconscious about it. My research drove me to Hawaiʻi, where I am blessed to be welcomed by māhū brethren and the land. Over the years I developed "mana caribe" in my written research, to describe the post-colonial signifiers in Caribbean Performance that resonates with peoples across Te Moana Nui.

To complete this exercise of consciousness, and see my Father staring back at me felt like the most real hug Iʻve ever been able to feel from him. It reminded me it is because of he, that I am me. He has been pushing me all along. Jamie helped me be conscious of this, and begin to heal through this embodied practice.

I have lived this station for the past 5 years as I performed across Chicago theatres while diligently studying Japanese, to attend Carnival in Japan in 2019, to then use this experience to apply for an MFA in Hawaiʻi and continue further ethnographic studies through ancestral awareness. My experiences learning in Hana Keaka, ʻōlelo Hawaiʻi, ʻOri Tahiti, and Uchinaa Odori has amalgamated my ancestral and spiritual alignment with my own Taíno epistemology.

With that I offer the prosperity of our collective indigenous knowledge, and the promotion of Afro-Diasporic consciousness and methodologies across oceans.

ep #1 update

drops:

im no longer feeling kato kagura but i'll still keep an eye on her

keiko...her sense of humor annoys me a little (not because she's annoying or anything, more just different taste) but apparently she's really talented so we'll see next ep

aoki yuka is pretty and did ballet but she can't really sing. curious to see how she'll do moving forward but 🤷🏿‍♀️

updated picks:

my new top 2

rino's group didnt go in ep 1 but i just kept noticing her. she's my 1-pick for now

yui ando i noticed through her audition with tanaka koto! she has a lot of potential and i like her attitude...very "cool girl" vibes but still personable. i could also tell how nervous she was in the audition so she made some mistakes but like i said...potential

tier 2 picks

mana is like. gorgeous on the show im not surprised that she was Miss Japan at alllll. her audition (with ando chiharu, who i also like) was cut and she got an F but the clip actually sounded pretty good to me? the judge's comments were confusing with the cut they showed. i feel like im gonna have to give her up to god (the other contestants ranked her 90th in skills 🙃) but yeah. uhm. FACE

what made me like momona was really her personality pre-show but she showed a very...disney princess like personality ep 1? so im a bit disappointed. looking for to her audition (with kokoro!) next ep

im very torn on aruha. she danced at body rock which kind already makes her the best dancer here but her team's audition (violeta) wasn't good at all. why did three dancers pick such a vocal focused song? aruha still got A but it feels like a set up since she has no singing experience. either way, i think her potential is through the roof honestly

a secret third thing

i absolutely want her in the group and it seems she absolutely will be, but im not super gripped yet. i apprexiated that the judges pointed out that her face shuts down when she's nervous because that's the first thing i noticed when she was center. rooting for her growth 100% because she already has everything else

peanut gallery

suzu's a good performer but im not sure how i feel about her in the group yet. ran & mena didnt go in ep #1 but i still noticed them a lot, altho mena didn't actually have as much screentime as i expected

i noticed them in the first ep but i dont really want any 2007s debuting.

kokona - very hyewon (but a lot better 😭) & chebul coded. would be very very popular in korea i feel

kokoro - had to do a million staring contests to keep the #1 seat but it was funny every time. ppls eyes would be shaking and she's just staring into their souls 😭 very meme. why did she and rena literally go until there were tears running down their faces, i think it was like 10 minutes? 😭😭😭 ridiculous

tsuzumi ebihara is a good vocalist, was voted #1 by the trainees and was the first person to get A class. when it comes down to it i want as many good vocalists as possible but her age and her vibe kind of don't fit exactly what i want from this group. i feel like there will be other vocalists that i just end up liking more tbh

chronic tiffany face. she's just so idol

still like tsukushi, i think her group is doing latata in the next ep?

kokoro is kokoro. curious as to how much her past in chebul will help here (seems to be helping a lot thus far)

all the random girls who i haven't mentioned who made me go FACE or i noticed otherwise

kamio ayano, zhang zining lookalike

ando chiharu (miss japan teeam with mana)

yamazaki mitsuki (face)

rimika - former hkt48, optimistic

kitazune sakura, strong performer, would be good in kpop, miyajima yugo vibes

bando fuka, funny

sato serina, face charming onstage (performed w kokona)

kenmotso nano, face

akiyama ema, yumeki stan who stole jihyos face

planning to watch pd101 japan s3 so as usual, here are my pre-show picks :^)

i have a feeling that mana koyama is a dozen but every show needs at least one to keep things fun! she's a 98 liner and the oldest contestant, a former ballerina & miss japan 2021. idk i just think she seems fun but we'll see, i hope she gets decent screentime

momona kasahara is everyone's it girl right now and she's kind of stolen the hype that people expected miu and kokoro to get (😭). her pr video is currently rhe most viewed at over 380k, as compared to all of the other videos which are between 9 and 80k. she's a former member of ANGERME(?) and has a lot of funny clips. looking forward to seeing her skills!

rino sakaguchi is a new add for me. i don't know a ton about her but i liked the energy in her pr video. like tsukushi (below) she competed on iconz and was in cdl infinity. after looking up vocal clips from icoz, im really looking forward to hearing her sing more (as she rapped in her pr video).

others i'll be looking out for

+ kokoro (former cherry bullet!) is competing! crazy that her and linlin popped up on survival shows in the same week

sakurai miu was on gp999 and is the theme song center! when i watched the theme song...she's super pretty and obviously talented but i thought she was actually outperformed by yamamoto suzu unfortunately

tsukushi sasaki was on iconz girls, the show that created moonchild (the group ruann is in).

ran ishii was in...a group...before this show so she's coming in with a small fanbase already. i watched her pr video just to see and i liked her attitude! she has a very...competent? energy about her
