What I'm hooked on now though is what my avatar is from, BanG Dream. The anime is rather mediocre, but the mobile game, and the especially the music, is extremely good. If you haven't heard of them, I have a video linked on my profile of my favorite song that has a full length PV to it on Youtube (my favorite is only a preview).
I guess to start off, my biggest complaint was the characters. None of them really left a lasting impression on me, though I could probably name at least half, if not more if I saw a picture of 765pro, which is a good thing, though I saw the series twice, so there's that too. I feel the overly large cast hurt my liking of the characters, just not getting enough depth to really know some of them. Honestly I can't remember too much so that's all I have to say. My favorite was Miki, who I actually have a mini figure of, followed by Hibiki and Chihaya. I liked a majority of the characters, only 2-3 that I didn't care for, which is a definite plus.
That all being said, straying away from the negative, I think the series had an excellent formula, with each and every episode being extremely enjoyable. I'm personally not all that interested in the inner workings of the idol world, I just like the music and dances, which is partially why I prefer Love Live that focuses on more slice of life and inner group stuff than external idol promotional stuff like in iM@S. Even though I say that, I still loved the series for what it was.
So uhh, my thoughts are all jumbled since I accidentally refreshed the page and lost what I originally typed, so to summarize, I love the series, disappointed with the depth of characters, but not enough that it drastically affects my opinion of the series. I wouldn't call it one of my favorites, but I liked it enough to come back and watch it through a second time, and to buy a figure of Miki, who at the time was one of my 7 figures in my room.
Cinderella Girls on the other hand... I cared less for half the cast in that group than 765pro, and even outright hated 2 characters whenever they were on screen, which is a horrible then when trying to enjoy a series. I went as far as losing motivation in the Cinderella Girls mobile game because I drew a card of one of those two girls. Oh, forgot to mention I don't care for iM@S music much at all, only a select few songs I actually enjoy listening to, though CG stepped it up a little and I liked a few more from them than 765pro. I can do more things I like and dislike of CG compared to the original but you didn't ask for this :p
