I find it weird how people are bashing Honoka for being "bland and unoriginal", but aren't saying that to Raidou. Is he really any better? Is being a moe teen girl really any more or less a generic archetype then being a fired up loudmouth beefed up dude who screams for power? Not to mention both of them copy other characters and both have mainly bland designs with extras to their designs that make up for it (Honoka's skull hairpiece and glove and Raidou cyborg stuff).
But both are still likeable and have their cool and appealing aspects, and nothing is wrong with that. Lets not hate ya'll
