I don't think it's really worth to get into again. It was good when they only were three guys, but after they became five it went downwards and became kinda annoying and repetitive.

Ah, I noticed you changed your profile to Saaya! Cute! What did you think of Henri in yesterday's episode? I can't really decide if I dislike him or not. I kinda enjoyed his haughty personality tho. But the whole situation was so tropey. The "you're a star, your friends are weighing you down, ignore them and come with me to uncover your true potential" trope. It's so darn common, for some reason especially in mahou shoujo's and shoujo's! The talented or smart or rich or whatever member meets / meets anew someone who thinks like that, and they always end up "having to prove they like their friends and this lifestyle better!" It's supposed to create drama and development, but it's starting to get annoying when it's so common. And we've had it multiple times in Precure too, we even had this in KiraKira with Yukari and Akira's fangirls not wanting them to waste time on the KiraPati girls, or when Mizushima tried to stop Aoi from being at the KiraPati.

But, well, Hugtto approached the trope much better than most other shows, even though I still don't like it. It had worked better if Henri hadn't been so frank about it, and been more like wanting to sit down with Homare and being just, "Hey, now that you're back on track, I think you should come with me to Moscow. It would be a waste of your talent not to join the senior group soon." Or something like that.

Oops, sorry for the rant x'D
