No. of Episodes: 12

My personal score: 8/10
Quick answer: It's surprisingly decent.
This anime is another surprisingly great anime. It started off in a direction that I didn't really like, but
that direction changed quite quickly. And before realizing it, I was enjoying every episode.
Heroine Tarumono has a storyline that is likely very common among idol animes. A typical struggle of two
highschool idol boys, of course complete with the ikemen and bishounen characters, who eventually make their
career quite the success, with the starting episodes going with a significantly slower pace.
All in all, the plot is fairly average, however the development was done pretty well and it was satisfying
to follow. Some parts felt a little too bromance though, just putting this out first.
Art style of this anime is slightly more towards the unique side. The closest anime with this art style that
I can think of would be Araburu Kisetsu no Otome-domo yo. This one I'm personally not sure if the style can
be called inconsistent, cause it sure felt inconsistent at times, but was still decent overall. I also
couldn't find any drop in graphics quality anywhere.
Now, the best part about Heroine Tarumono, in my humble opinion, would be the sounds. The voice actors and
actresses are quite frankly the top of line. Definitely very welcomed.
Oh and could you be a Honeyworks fan? All the music in this anime is pretty much Honeyworks, to the point
sometimes I felt like it's made specifically to advertise Honeyworks, but I don't know.
If you enjoy idol anime, or something like this in general, Heroine Tarumono gets a full recommendation from
me.
