| I'm so gonna have fun watching this show. First episode made me smile, so I'm sure the rest would be the same. |
| Idola are not my thing but I guess I can stick around for the good music :) |
 |
| This is show SOOOOOO gooooood. Im already loving it. The songs were all top notched, especially Maki. The animation quality is good too. The show bought a smile to my face and i cant wait for the next episode |

| I think Love Live will be much more fun than I expected. |
| cute girl + singing a song. \(^^)/ love to see an energic girl like Honoka. |
| anyone know the insert in the middle of the ep from A-Rise |
 |
| Decided to watch it. The opening was nice... well... their outfits were anyways. I like the idea of the anime but the ending of this episode was completely retarded imo. I could see the dance to come since it was done in the beginning as a intro but what a random ass time to do it and didn't go with the scene at all. Overall, I think this is just gonna be...the cute moe all girl version of high school musical or glee. Lmao. Off to Ep 2. |
| Well this is my first time watching of this idol music shows. I kind of avoided them until now. I think i watched one idolmaster episode but didn't bother after that. Anyway it was more interesting than i expected. I actually chose to give this a try since it had another premise too like saving the school and such. It would have been nice if we didn't have that cgi program running whenever they sing and dance stuff and instead have actual animation but whatever, i have seen worse cg than that anyway. Hope to at least make one appearance fully animated with no cg. For now i'll be watching. Seeing them all dance and stuff makes me feel kind of stupid at times but hey as long as it doesn't get corny beyond my level of tolerance i will keep on board just to have one of this shows finished so i at least know what is all about. |

I think that's what all those idol anime these days are doing now... it's probably easier and takes less time and effort or something. |
| There were a lot of *SMH* moments in this episode especially that ending... oh my that ending. Still gonna watch episode 2 though |

Yeah in our days its used in this stuff and in army fighting scenes a lot to save budgets but it always seems so fake. If they think that their CG reached a level that it's not obvious as hell they are deluded because it still is very different than normal animation. |
| Nice first episode! It's an interesting premise so I'm looking forward to see it develop. The UTX school looked so impressive! The song that the girl sang at the piano was really nice as well. |
| The switch from smooth animation to CG is totally throwing me off during the dancing parts. It's jarring. |
| The CG is so out of place and off putting. How is it possible to shut down a school that moe? |
 |
| Finally got to watching this. Too noticeable CG, didn't like the character designs that much too... The musics are good though~ Got the Tari Tari vibes. |
| I expected this to be similar to The iDOLM@STER, which I stalled after 2 episodes for a reason I have forgotten by now. I'll probably pick that up soon™. But this was interesting, I like the plot in this, although I do see where this will be going. I'm also really enjoying AKB0048. The CGI isn't bad by any means but it's still noticeable. The close-ups seem to be hand-drawn though. The ending seems like an "upgradeable" ending to me, or it has potential for that. As more join the group more sing and dance along in the ending. Kinda like Tari Tari. I'm looking forward to more of this. |

I almost never read discussions after I made my post, if you want to reply PM me or post on my profile page. |
| This was a pretty nice start to the anime and I can tell this is going to be really fun to watch. Couldn't help but laugh a couple of times in this episode already, especially with those stupid but hilarious faces that Honoka makes. The characters look great so far and I am already liking Honoka's cheerful personality as well as Umi and Kotori's too. |

Sinonis said: Waiting for this anime for a long time This. Awesome first episode! Cant believe I'm watching this right now, so excited! ;-; |
 |
| Yay ! I keep laughing at this first episode . kawaii xD |
 - barely alive - |
| Well well what have we here? CGI is uncomfortable but nonetheless... This looks like FUN. |
| There is no such thing as shit taste. Only idiots who think everyone should have the same taste as they do. |
| just started! and right now it seems to be going really well, cannot wait for the finale!! |
| This Anime is really like K-on and the first episode is good seriously :) |
 |
| Good first episode. Loving the colour blends but not so much the character designs. I enjoyed both K-On and Idolmaster so interested to see how this one turns out too. |
| Decent start. It's no AKB0048, but I wasn't expecting it to be like that either. As long as it continues like the first ep, I will certainly be finishing it. |
  |
| This is probably one of the stronger first episodes I've seen in a while, very enjoyable and set up the scene with plenty of laughs. I like how they tied the beginning sequence in at the end, the dances are very mesmerizing to watch, especially in the opening. The character designs are very vibrant and colorful, as if the characters themselves are full of life. Looks like another promising idol series. |
 |
| I'm starting to love this series just by the 1st episode. The animation and the CG in this is just amazingly epic!! |
 |
| Wow I loved the CG and the art I was presented. The songs weren't bad either and the characters looked decent. |
| Cute characters. Good background music 6/10 |

| I don't remember why i didn't continue watching after 1 episode but now i'm gonna watch till the end. really loved the first episode. |
| Nice first episode and we already got to see six (or seven) probable group members. Some awesome songs already, and we even saw their future rivals (A-RISE). I started watching this because everyone is talking about this and after WUG, I wanted to go back and see more idol anime. Honoka is sure lively and so far I like it :) |
| Meh Not like I expected much from it anyways. Watching it just for Niko. |
| Awww I loved it, it was so cute! Umi & Kotori <3 |
| No wonder Honoka wants to save the school she is the third generation in her family to attend it. |
"What has two arms, two legs, and is alive? Not your favorite character lol! xD" |
| Seems fun, but the CGI is downright horrible. |
| am i the only one who notice Yui, Mio, and Mugi from K-ON in this anime? |
| Looks like this should be a fun watch. I'm watching it so that if I like it I'll buy the Weiss Schwarz deck coming out for the show. |
Ovindel said: Meh, the basic story is okay but the CG's are really awful and their singing voices seem heavily edited and feel out of place as if it's even a different vocal actor. Idolm@ster did it lots better with those. I'm really glad that I'm not the only one who hates CG done in this way (the only CGs which I approve is the way which KyoAni is doing it, it looks awesome and their Anime really looks like Anime, not like shitty 3D video done by teenagers in blender) . CG is ok if it is not noticeable, but in this way it looks like a shit. Shame on you Sunrise :/ Btw some people says 'animation/art 10/10' are you kidding or you are just blind? It is not even 5/10. I really don't understand how you could rate shitty CG 10/10. |

| Dub = fake crap. Always. |
| Have to watch this show one of these days. Now is that day. I didn't like how they just broke out into song at the end but other than that this was pretty good. |
 |
| Heechul brought me here. Nico Nico ni~ |
| Oh, I'm actually not bothered by the CGI at all. Great first episode! |
