First up is idol groupie and wannabe who tries too hard Nico Yazawa. Having heard Erica Mendez not too long ago as Ryuko Matoi in Kill la Kill (top-rate performance), this was an interesting change of pace as we get to hear her in a somewhat higher pitch and showing some personality types I’ve not seen from her before. [desc of Nico in story] But in addition, Nico has developed a completely fake persona as an idol, including a nauseatingly cutesy catchphrase, which is rendered very, very well by Ms. Mendez. The highlight, though, is episode 6 where Ms. Mendez really gets to shine as Nico in different ways. In the contest to determine who gets to be the “center” [definition of center] her scheming and power-hungry nature is brilliantly shown. But more hilarious is a one-off moment when the girls are being interviewed for a video being put together by the student council to highlight the various clubs in the school. Told that this is meant to be “candid, unscripted” footage, Nico puts on yet another persona, where she transforms into a mild-mannered ojousama-like young lady. It’s flat out funny how well she does the fake niceness and refinement, you have to see and hear it.
