arsonal said: All Love Live! CD releases are available here. Magito said: Now does anyone know the inserts songs especially the ending song? A-RISE's insert song is "Private Wars". Ending song (which also appeared before the OP) is "Susume→Tomorrow" (ススメ→トゥモロウ). iLostReason said: Anyone knows title of song the girl on piano played/sang? saa daisuki da banzai~? "Aishiteru Banzai!" (愛してるばんざーい!), with lyrics here. It was in the fourth single Mo Gyutto Love de Sekkinchuu!. Thank you so much! i heard many of their A-side songs, but never any of B-sides.Now ill go check all of their other b-sides lol. I hope we will hear snow halation in anime.It's my favorite song by them.Though arc would be even better.^^ |
 |
| Seems pretty good, I like the characters and their liveliness. "Aishiteru Banzai!" is such a good song. |
| Here's a present, a lot of Honoka screenshots: http://www.4shared.com/zip/svNfqlRd/Honoka.html? |
| though i don't like these type of anime with a bunch of moe girl (and i'm not very into music)but it was interesting. at first i didn't want to watch it but you know this and that happened thus i ended up watching it. lol it won't get boring if i watch it week after week. sasuga sunrise |
| Was a good 1 Episode. :) Like the art & music~ The blonde hair girl is nice *_* |
| I'm liking the vibes I get from this anime, gonna stick with it for now. Also the girl playing the piano makes me want to listen to Angela Aki. |

boyerz said: BEST ANIME OF THE SEASON! :D I love people who never gives up :> in my rating Art - 10/10 Story - 10/10 Character - 10/10 Some may drop this anime but i'm not :> and at first glance i thought this anime was about "how to save a school" until i thought Honoka wanted to transfer UTX and telling her friends to transfer there cuz of A-Rise lol and yea they decided to make a club for them as idol's this is my kind of anime tho <3 looking forward to more episodes! Approved |
 |
| Loved the first 27 seconds of this, the rest is not bad either. Very enjoyable soundtrack at least. |
| Decent start. Cute girls. I'll keep watching. |
 |
deathxempress said: that what i was thinking, but i like anything that has to with Music also not my first idol show, so i know what gonna happen that and cute characters, smooth animation.. so on. just hope it doesnt get to far fetch that i will have to drop it.Reminded me of Tari Tari. Better than I expected, but still, quite typical. |
| This series is pretty promising! It has a good range of music and has a very nice soundtrack. I particularly enjoyed the first 26 seconds of the episode. The characters are nice and likeable. More characters with different interests forming together a school idol group should be interesting. So far: Art/Animation: 10/10 Story: 9/10 Characters: 10/10 The animation made by Sunrise is quite good and I will be paying close attention to the dance moves and camera actions showing various idol groups such as A-Rise, seeing how Sunrise will be approach this series, with it being so far so good. Story is pretty interesting, seems very familiar with K-On, Tari Tari and other series. Characters so far have only introduced three and the rest will soon be introduced. For one episode, I liked how they quickly showed the friendship bond that Honaka, Umi and Kotori have shown in the time skip reinforced by their support to Honaka's idea in forming a school idol group. Looking foward to the rest of the episodes! :D 5/5 |
  |
| that was actually really good. probably the best first episode i've seen this season. dat ED was also the best. |
| It's no idolm@ster but I'm digging the vibes of the show. The songs by the main girls shown were pretty good as well, and I love Honoka's personality. Overall, I look forward to seeing future eps. From what I've seen it looks to be one I'll enjoy. That is, as long as they keep the CG to a minimum. That ending dance/singing sequence hurt my eyes >_> |
 |
| I liked the songs, but that's it. It's going to take a lot more than that and shiny ever-blushing moe girls with retardedly short skirts to keep my interest. |

| 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 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. |

 |
| 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. |
