Why do people hate her so much?

Meme character ironic weebs flock to.

Garbage taste.

meme

People misunderstand her attitude and how she acts, unlike most of the other girls Nico has some depth. Not much mind you but more than the rest of Muse. Really just ignorance and taking everything she does at face value.

>>161013353
Ask that to her previous school idol club colleagues.

I love Nico
but since shes popular people are gonna hate her

>>161013353
What hate? Nico is like the most or second most popular on average.

>>161013353
But she's my second favorite, Umi is the actual best.

>>161013353
Her relationship with Okasa was interesting

>>161015371
No that would be Umi or Maki.

I love Nico so much. She's so cute and tiny. I wanna fuck her so bad

Sauce on that doujin?

>>161013353
She's a mean person who at face value, you might, in reality be less inclined to be friend with?

But in a drama where it is possible for the viewer to assess all aspects of a character's personality and without bias or the limitations of reality, it is possible to garner a deeper understanding of the character beyond spite and cynicism.

In truth people don't appreciate her because she's a callous individual but fail to appreciate that her character and background is actually rather realistic - especially for a character in an otaku bait show.

I suppose some people either just want pure princesses with no personality flaws or like to pretend that the majority of people are somehow free of some kind of personal shortcoming.

>>161013353
People will hate her because she's popular but the absolute truth is that she carried both seasons.

To take it a step further (and arguably, some may consider this a shortcoming of the show) but due to a lack of time to overtly develop the cast entirely, a lot of the character development or detail is conveyed through more subtle means, either in terms of background actions or statements - which provide a greater insight into said character's personality.

A lot of the nuance that drives Nico's character isn't really thrown in the viewer's face, if you don't actually stop to contemplate it, it's very easy to overlook the fact that - while she is conceited and attention hungry (this part is overt), she's also very hard working and dedicated to her goals (not so overt - highlighted through various facts i.e. managing to find time to practise, do school work and care for children and also improve her dancing to such a level that she's later capable of beating Honk at the same dancing game that Honkers previously won).

Love Live isn't, by any means, the most complex or nuanced show in the world but I wonder if the pay off is too subtle for younger viewers - especially ones who are used to anime spoon feeding them and being very explicit about character development and character arc resolutions.

>>161013353
I like her.

>>161013353
She's my favorite love live idol.
I just wish she wasn't flat.

So you want a loli with oppai? Fuck off. Her tiny body turns me on.

Plz don't sexualise Nico. The cutest part about her is thinking, like how you could man handle her because she's so small. Like picking her up like an oversized bag and carrying her underarm.

I love Nico and want to kiss her and bap her womb

>>161018449
But that's her appeal.

She does nothing but propagate the idea that Idols need to based around gimmicks with her stupid NICO NICO NIII crap instead of focusing on giving characters actual talent or personality.

Simply put she's the embodiment of everything wrong with the industry. A shallow, talent-less brat who hides behind a catch phrase.

>>161019523
Yeah but that's what makes her so endearing, is that despite her beliefs being flawed (something the show painstakingly tries to convey, by demeaning or belittling her attempts to further her career through her routine), she still wholeheartedly believes in it.

What makes her catchphrase appealing isn't the catchphrase itself - were it presented at face value, it would mean nothing and be nothing but otaku bait. What makes it significant is her conviction and how far she's willing to persist in following her beliefs that make the whole thing appealing.

Every time I hear it, I think not of the saccharine catchphrase itself but rather the person who would painstakingly take time to try and devise a catchphrase that they thought would best embody their "stage persona" and augment their desired facade.

>I answered how great Kotori's design was, but when I was starting to described Umi...
>"well she was kind of a bland woman and nothing more..."
>told sis to just bought Kotori.

Nozomi reminded me of Miku from Cinderella girl, the kind of girl's that actually want to be a career idol and put effort into it, rather than just being roped into it or want to have fun. I prefer driven and ambitious character like them.

Are you? I don't want people touching me without permission, particularly if they're deliberately making me uncomfortable in order to extract something out of me, and I wouldn't be fine with her doing that to random women either.

the episode towards the beginning of the show when she was trying to get over her stage fright gave her points for me, early on.

>>161023767
She's still the best.

>>161013353
Because Maki is better.

>>161013353
Because a lot of people do not apppreciate female characters who aren't obedient and passive as they are not wife material. Ironically Nico would make a great wife as she more or less takes care of her house and younger siblings all on her own and once you get past her tsun attitude she will be very nice to you (just look at her interactions with Hanayo at the end of s2).

Maki is a lucky woman
