I'm already tired of this ''character is wearing glasses so he looks completely different now'' thing.
Are they seriously blind or what?

Nice CGI , but it doesn't make this standart 1st episode better. Same speeches , same scenario about disbanding the club , dreams , etc.
I hate everyone equally

Nothing can ever beat the original Love Live and Muse. That group is so iconic and legendary, but I have to say the first episode of Niji was much better than I expected and it really tries to be a little different than Sunshine which was too similar with SIP.

Everything here felt somehow different in a good way, especially the overall atmosphere which I can't fully explain. The characters were very likeable, especially Ayumu. She's so adorable. <3

I absolutely loved her solo performance. The ED was also great. I had to put both of those songs to my playlist.

The CGI also looked better but to be honest, it wasn't never an issue to me even with the first Love Live. I don't easily complain about it unlike the others.

Overall, it was an excellent and very promising start. *thumbs up*

It's been over a year since I've gotten to know the girls of the Nijigasaki School Idol Club courtesy of the game this was based on so I figured that it was about time I get to watch the anime. I'm only one episode in so far yet I was so tempted to just give the whole series a 10/10 already because it blew my expectations out of the water~

It's awesome that they decided to keep Yuu in the story and even made her into an actual character. I can actually to Yuu a lot. While her daily life's fairly enjoyable, it always felt like something was missing and that one thing just decided to come into her life by chance when she had least expected it.

While I liked the songs that were featured here when I first listened to them in-game, I never felt so much emotion while listening to them as much as I did here. The moment Setsuna shouted with all her might, chills went over my whole body even though it was a scorching day over here and learning about the context behind Ayumu's song to Yuu really made me appreciate it even more.

I was so hyped when the day of the first episode of Nijigasaki finally arrived, because it was the first time i could begin a series of the franchise while it was current. And it didn't disappoint... Chase performance was powerful because of both Tomori's voice and the visuals around Yuu Takasaki. Ayumu wasn't my favorite character yet but was presented in such a sweet fashion. Even if i don't like her song presented here too much, episode 12 will fix this... for the absolute best.

(almost forgot to listen to Neo Sky Neo Map today... until now. That ending song is WONDERFUL.)

I'm late for the party.
The artwork is a lot different than the other love live but I actually like it more. The girls face are more pretty. Also they look more unique to one another cuz theyre eye designs, shape and color are beautiully drawn unlike the old Love Live designs. Their body proportion are better too. The girls thighs looks so soft to touch. Its an upgrade in visual thats for sure.

The Live animation is godlike, inpar with Zombieland Saga.

I hope Love Live continues in this direction. Better visuals means better idol experience.

Not as good as original Love Live or Superstar. I don't like the main girl or her voice much.

Lower production value than original Love Live or Superstar.

Started watching this cause I came across the Lanzhu Zhong and Tokimeki Runners song on Osu. First episode is amazing.

What the heck kind of school is this? It looks like some of the futuristic universities that have popped up recently, but on an even bigger scale. If my school was like that, I'd always attend.

The deadpan pink-haired girl really reminds me of myself. Feels like there's gonna be so many 'best girl' characters here. Rn I like Yuu Takasaki but it seems like she's not gonna be an idol but only cheer them on?

I've never seen any Love Live shows, but this reminds me of the traditional western musicals of the past where characters would suddenly burst into song.

The characters here are special in the way they can control their environment to their will lol.
