ohhh yeah absolutely
the problem indeed was that there wasn't enough source material that they could use and thus ended up making up stuff that was Bad
like the overall structure that was intended (6 episodes to set up the manager and idol dynamic and then 6 episodes about her own life and her friends) wasn't a bad idea as a concept but there's the source material problem
tbh i understand that it's not like herotaru could've fully portrayed mona's depth as a character because it is not her anime. it's for hiyori and friends, and so far her and mona haven't actually even met in canon, she was mostly there as a treat to the viewers (and a Lot of people were happy to see her). maybe there were better ways of handling her, but there were other characters more important to hiyori's story that needed the development
all of the haniwa characters have their fleshed out stories but it is not always their moment to be told
#+ tried to fit as many characters as possible yeah#hworks#like i'd say that together w mona and maybe dolce (bc manga)#hiyori is one of the charas that has the longest story and thus could indeed more or less fit into a 12 ep anime#but since they had to retcon ascana...#n they ended up making nagisa a throwaway single ep chara#he wasn't even in the usual ending montage that shows all the charas 😭#n the backstory they made for him and hiyori was. could have been better#i also don't like much how they resolved the chizuru plot line lol but i don't think many people do#they didn't even keep up the continuity cmon#the anime started w chuutan is so nice she sends letters to both of them and even to the staff she doesn't show any favoritism#and then she ended up being a suuuper hardcore aizou stan#it does makes sense that she would prefer one over the other#but what was the point on being like that at the beginning help#i guess there's something to say about the pipeline from model well-behaved fan to the toxic way she ended up being#but it just felt a bit weird to me in that moment#ok thats enough tags sorry
