I see a lot of people being nice to this show, and while I kinda see why, I also really don’t. In Japan, Love Live is an insatiable money-making behemoth whose appetite only grows with the eating, but here in the West, it’s largely mocked by the mainstream. But apparently not Superstar. What other people are getting out of this show is something I can’t get out of it, and it might just be because I’ve seen too much. It might just be because I’ve become numb, and maybe if this was the first time I’d ever seen an idol show like this, there’d be

Superstar is the 4th installment of the beloved and long-running Love Live series. It is easy to follow and does not reference previous parts, allowing both old and new fans to enjoy it.
This installment goes back to its roots, arguably simpler than the base of its roots were. Kanon gets picked up by Keke to start a school idol club, but complications arise when the student council president tries to stop them; the standard Love Live stuff. The special part about it this time is how Kanon acts in opposition to the other main characters of previous installments of Love Live. Kanon has stage fright. This ... Oct 17, 2021
Love Live! Superstar is a solid show production-wise, but its position as the fourth separate continuity in the franchise only highlights the increasingly formulaic nature of Love Live's writing.
The show starts out promising enough. Kanon is our now apparently archetypal spunky orange-headed protagonist. Unlike Honoka or Chika though, she gets to have real character flaws. She's grumpy, she sulks, she talks back to her family. She loves to sing, but she has struggled for years freezing up in front of an audience. When we meet her, she's convinced she'll never make it as a performer. There's potential for a focused, if rather well-worn, character ... Nov 6, 2021
I started watching Love Live! Superstar!! with the expectation that the smaller cast of 5 would allow more time to explore each character's dreams and worries, strengths and flaws, past failures and present efforts. Exploring their character, in other words.
Well, yes, but actually no. While each character certainly had more screen time and lines compared to some idol anime, the additional attention was squandered. The anime eventually became formulaic again. Most character development and progression was made in service to the overbearing and repetitive Love Live formula. The best episodes were the first 4. Each one focused on the ... Oct 24, 2021
Well I'm starting this review by saying that I used to be a huge fan of this franchise and series.
With that in mind, I have to say that Love Live Superstar has to be the most wasted Love Live yet. Most of my struggles with this series are about how they mishandled so many situations, Love Live is also known for having some musical moments that will melt your heart, but aside of the animation (that we know that it only gets better and better), none of the performances transmitted anything to me really, I would only rescue one (which I will not say because ...

Hate to be that one negative guy, but I think I'm just getting tired of Love Live at this point. The anime started off with much promise with a radically different type of main character, and a smaller but more focused cast, but it eventually just devolved into your generic love live fluff that plays it a little TOO safe.
Aesthetically of course, the animation is not too shabby, the girls are cute, and the music is good. However, it all just feels super dragged on and likewise with love live nijigasaki, there's just no sense of conflict or like a threat of having their ... Oct 21, 2021
If you haven't watched other Love Live series yet, I recommend starting from the first series (Love Live School Idol Project).
I will give my honest thought after completing all 12 episodes. Although this series is new and refreshing compared with the previous LL series, LL Superstar is #3 for me based on the character/story and songs. The 1st and 2nd episodes are the only enjoyable for me. The story kinda messes up for me as the episode goes on and some characters make me confused (I have to rewind many times at certain scenes to understand what is going on). The arts and songs ... |
