| When the UTX girls were singing, did the song remind anyone of SNSD (Girls' Generation)? Or is it just me? |

The song is really catchy though! Haha I thought the same too. Really liked the songs! Awesome first episode. I'm loving the character designs and the animation. I really like Honoka, she's a great 'main' character and reminds me a little of Yui from K-ON! :) Creating an idol group to save the school, aw yeah! Looking forward to the next episodes to come! |
 |
| Very nice, didn't know anything about this before (game?), but I immediately got hooked to this! Can't wait until the next episode. :D Does anyone know what the song is called they used for the ED? |
| Proud mama and papa of Misha Yuuki* (02-01-2014 - 22-01-2014) Thank you for the wonderful twenty days you gave us. <3 One day we will meet again.. |
| This is the 1st time I ever touch this series and I am liking it already :3 will wait and see the whole idol group forms! |
game8910 said: The CG on its own is not bad but goddamn it really does not blend well with the episode. It is just too damn noticeable and it really kills the series for me if its going to continue like this. I agree, the sudden change of art back and forth is too noticeable. Perhaps they can stick to one or the other during a scene? |
 |
| The CG is significantly better than what's in AKB0048. It doesn't look nearly as terrible or awkward. It's just a shame they couldn't do it all with regular animation like in iM@S. |
| Ok™ |
| Well, first Idol anime I watch and I really like it! The CG was really well done and the songs were catchy, Kotori is my favorite! |
 |
| Nice begining of the story. And I like the dance of the 3 girla do in the ending, was cute. |
| Amazing First episode~!!!!!!!!! I don't see a problem with the CG at all~ Can't wait for the next episode this is sure to be a great watch! |
McRib said: The CG is significantly better than what's in AKB0048. It doesn't look nearly as terrible or awkward. It's just a shame they couldn't do it all with regular animation like in iM@S. I agree with you in terms of the CG looking far better than AKB0048; not that I have anything against AKB0048 since I enjoy that series very much. But for idol anime in general, I think it's more unusual to see a full animation with non-CGs only because there are so many complicated movements required in dancing. It's just overall easier and more cost efficient, I suppose, for the animation companies to switch from CG to regular animation again. I mean, this is only my speculation since they seem to do a lot of transitions between the CG and animation in other idol shows like Aikatsu for example as well. Or maybe I'm thinking too hard into this and people just enjoy the CGs more. Either way, I think this series was very enjoyable to watch, and the CGs for this series was much better blended in than others despite the flaws. |
 |
| This is my first time watching idol shows...and I'm so in great dilemma to keep watching or not. They're cute, yes..but... I can't watch too many shows even though I want to. Uh... Dammit, I'll try again next episode. |
Waiting for next week anime gives me another reason to live. |
katsu044 said: still haven't been able to watch this yet,can i expect it to be as good as idolmaster?. No, don't expect anything as good as idolmaster. Idolmaster is idolmaster, and Love Live is Love Live. You have to watch the episode yourself to actually know how good this is. But since this just the first episode, there's still a lot of development. And who know's this could be as good as im@s or better. To know that, is to watch the whole series. imho. Now does anyone know the inserts songs especially the ending song? |
| The songs are catchy and the girls are really cute! Yet, I can't help question the animators of the combination of traditional and CG during the song parts. The CG is great but it gets quite distracting with the sudden switch of CG to tradition then tradition to CG , but if it helps save money then go for it! At the least the key parts of the dances are not CG ^^ |
 |
| It was fun. I'm gonna give it a chance :) |
| That was a lot better than expected... I'll definitely watch this one. |
 |
| That girl loves her school way too much |
| Maily watching this because I love Anime Soundtrack/J-Pop, so this is a must watch for me. Strange to see these fluent animations, but enjoyable. Story seems to be okay, but this is not even my main focus lol. |
 |
| Wow! Didn't expect this to be good ;o Why only 13 eps tho? :( |
 |
| Reminded me of Tari Tari. Better than I expected, but still, quite typical. |
| That was sickeningly cute. I love it. |
 |
Kerozinn said: instantly dropped. absolutely not my thing Almost the same, i guess i'll give a couple more episodes a shot... |
Currently watching everything that comes out to avoid missing something good... |
| I wasn't expecting anything special here... but it's a pleasant surprise. Sure just another idol anime but it was fun. Honoka is another positive thinking idiot but she's charming. And that archery practice was hilarious. And no problems with CG - as told better than AKB but above all they are not interrupting. For sure will be following it. |
| Very very similar to Tari Tari |
 |
| anothe idol show, why not this one a weird vertion of idolmaster(iguess) but i like the main gal, cheerful and ok i'll stick with this one till the end |
| Being a fan is like having a penis. Its nice to be proud of it But don't pull it out in public and wave it in other's faces Kyurem Black. Kyurem White. Together they are Pretty Kyurem. |
| One of the best 1st eps i've seen, the CG blended well in a number of places, the music is damn good and the animation..... i already planned on watching it when i saw sunrise but they really outdid themselves. |

Magito said: finally watched it have to say it was pretty good none of the songs made me want to cover my ears in fact i enjoyed most of the ones played so far Good animation and art are pretty good not a fan of CGI at all but the transitions from it to normal are well done,like you said there's still a lot of room for development to see how this turns out and seeing how this is 13eps (could change don't know)i don't see them going the long root like Im@s which is fine.katsu044 said: still haven't been able to watch this yet,can i expect it to be as good as idolmaster?.

| ^ Glad to know you love this episode. I've been waiting for this anime for so long ever since an announcement came out. I first saw their amv musical at youtube first thinking it was an anime series, thank goodness they made into a one. It has a potential to be a great musical idol anime. Anyway, I find this today with character info > http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/anime-spotlight/2013/winter/love_live |
| Why is Nozomi so cute...? I'm watching just for her :| |
 |
| If I were to believe in Horoscopes, I'd say Honoka and I are very compatible. lol |
| tbh it was pretty good. will watch |
    |
| now at first i thought this was gonna suck, but man was i wrong :) i just finished up AKB0048 and have to say...i think i am gonna enjoy this one more than AKB0048. when she first started singing, i immediately fell for her voice <3 looking forward to the next episode! |
| I'll never say "I understand what you're going through" |
| anime story are great :) |
| i.. i.. i am in RABU.. my lifespan is diminishing because of all the HNNNGGGGHHH-ness.. and yet i could see the potential for the show to be very endearing to me if it could develop the characters well.. i also hope that the songs are consistently good for all characters.. where can you hear the full version of that Daisuki da, Banzai or whatever the title was? |

| Finally! i was expecting something good since its Rabu Raibu!, and i got what i wanted, at least for now.Love characters and music so far. Anyone knows title of song the girl on piano played/sang? saa daisuki da banzai~? 5/5 IMO great start. |
 |
| Surprised, it's actually better than I thought The songs are good, the animation and art is not bad and the characters are pretty likable Nice |
| Pretty interesting story !! |
 |
| wow! that really did feel like a musical. and i love me some musicals. the cg was done very well at the end, i think ill stick this out for a while. |

| Easiest way to get my attention: cute girls doing cute things. Top it off with a catchy soundtrack and you've got yourself something that can hold my attention for a while. I'm just a little iffy about Honoka not being visually appealing. Hopefully something can change my mind. |

| Shit, if a school played tunes like that, I'd go to it. More good music please. |

The song is really catchy though! I remember what song it reminded me of! The song that the UTX girls were singing sounded a lot like SNSD's Genie before it goes to the chorus! |
