Reminded me of Tari Tari. Better than I expected, but still, quite typical.

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.

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.

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.
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.

^ 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

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?

Cute characters and nice design. Animation is nice too. The CG at the end kinda bother me but w/e. Kinda like less shiny Tari Tari meet Idolmaster but still nice

Song wise..it sound like generic B-side to a single tho so I'll pass and just enjoy the animation to the performance.

Amen to that!

Also do you know that I found out that during dance sequence which it's transformed into CGI? It's just came out-of-nowhere especially the ED sequences! Where was I? Tiger & Bunny?

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.

I really enjoyed the characters and music especially the piano scene with Maki. It was also super cute when Umi was daydreaming about being an idol during her archery practice.

The CG is killing me though. ;_;

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


I actually thought the same thing as well. 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!
