After seeing the diagram below, I have been asking myself why through all 13 episodes and numerous official art pics I failed to notice that the color of the ribbon of the school uniform is different for students of different years !! |

| So MAL finally starts locking news threads that are only a few weeks old? I wonder where was the announcement of this change? Or we are seeing yet another case of changes made that impacted users but not communicated to them? I wonder how long people would put up with this. As much as I have a bunch of information to share about anime announced recently I cannot share it in news board, and the anime series is too disorganized and chaotic to share information except with people already interested in the particular series. |

In a different genre that relationship diagram would be even more interesting :) I can see Nozomi and Eli graduating but Niko still seems young to graduate! The card I got with No Brand Girls/Start:Dash!! yesterday says Eli in romaji, not Eri. I watch without subs but I thought someone said the Crunchyroll subs said Eri. I guess cards meant for Japanese people are different than subs meant for English speakers but I would have thought Eli would be more natural for English speakers... |
| A better way to see whose hand is who for the finger circle the girls made before the live: |

| ^ Eri Ayase signature is the best |

| That was very fast. I was about to cry and there were tears in my eyes especially at the last episode.. but in this one, it ended so fast. but I WANT SECOND SEASON!!!!!!!!!!! |
| Gonna miss it a lot! Hoping for a second season. A great last episode, really emotional. The group version of START:DASH!! was really good, it's my favourite song by them so it was great to see everyone get to sing it. Next stop - Love Live! |
| Okay for me this show had a strong beginning, a really weak middle and an okay end :/ I still loved it though :D I liked the music, the art style, and the characters. I just think they were a little lazy with writing and it would have been nice to see more performances. Also...those squeaky voices never shut up D: (all that squealing...) |
 |
| Great series IMO. I'm not a fan of Idol Music anime, but after IdolM@aster and Love Live, I'll have to add these to my lists more often. Though I think they're better watched all in one go. Also I Lol'd @ the #1 Love Live Ranking group in AWE :D. Great series overall, I hope they make a second season and get into Love Live. 8/10 |
 |
| So now i guess it's clear that all the drama was just so they can give us some closure when everything settles again since we had no Love Live contest. Clever little trick i guess but we need a second season. Have to go ad check if it was announced since people say it sells well. |
| Well, I enjoyed it :D Well composed songs, especially that start:dash We want more! Season 2! Season 2! Note : No man can be seen in this series XD |

| Fans in Japan are so dedicated to the show. They even made a chart to show how it is possible for all the participants to come back in time for the final live: |

| ^ Wasn't it been determined that Arise win Love Live!? |
 |
ThangLong said: Where did you get that idea? It only shows Arise checking the uploaded live performance of Muse after one of their performances. Nothing about the actual tournament of Love Live was shown anywhere in the episode or the series itself.^ Wasn't it been determined that Arise win Love Live!? |

^ It was left intentionally obscure so that the anime can end here, or continue to second season. However, it did leave me an impression that Love Live! is finished since the implication is pretty apparent: |

| ^ I don't think that way. I would think that if it is really Arise winning, it would show it in a grander manner, like showing them handing up the trophy in a ceremony. The way it was shown on the TV seems to be like a countdown of some weekly chart to me. But I agree it is left unclear. |

symbv said: I don't think that way. I would think that if it is really Arise winning, it would show it in a grander manner, like showing them handing up the trophy in a ceremony. Well, the first season was never about Love Live! competition, so that is not much of an important detail xD |

| Am I a bad fanboy if one of my favorite tracks on the OST, Notes of School idol days, is the A-RISE track Private Wars? LOL 68 tracks, awesome OST! All the TV size versions of the songs, BG music, I can remember the whole show pretty much by just listening to the OST! The Pile / Maki piano version of Ai Shiteru Banzai! is great too, and her solo piano version of Start:Dash!! Man, such great music in this show. |

Coz I have no problem with the later lol XD. I've been waiting for Private War song so it's definitely one of my favorites as well. But Muse has many more good songs so I like them more :) Can't wait to listen to the BG music, and I do want that Maki's piano solo ^_^ |

| I'm glad that drama with Kotori and Honoka ended. Guess, that's that. |

A-RISE isn't an actual band, yet anyways, just three seiyuu they put together for the show but I found it interesting they went to the trouble of recording a whole track for Private Wars, more than the few seconds they showed during LoveLive! The piano tracks are great as is the BG music. All the versions of the EDs are there, several solos, groups and all of them singing it which is fun, in addition to all the versions of Start:Dash!! Edit: Interesting too that the soundtrack version of the u's Start:Dash!! is 3:09 while the No Brand Girls/Start:Dash!! version is 4:20 vocal (4:18 off vocal). I love the dance arcade game track here. Anyone know the other anime which includes a dance arcade game track on the OST? Perhaps there are more than the one I am thinking of which is cool as it uses a version of one of the OP/EDs... Some of the soundtrack music is very serious. Sounds more appropriate for Girls Und Panzer but somehow in the anime, it works! 68 tracks, over 140 minutes, amazing soundtrack. |

| Just finished it totally enjoyed it! and was like Honaka's dad crying at the end?! LOLOLOL |
Bao said: I'm glad that drama with Kotori and Honoka ended. Guess, that's that. Yeah, thank gawd. Wouldn't know what I would of done if Kotori left and the anime ended. |
| Kotori's MAD. This is a tribute to our trouble maker little bird |

Wow, an hour? How many songs does it cover? We all have seen the trailer of the event from Lantis on Youtube. The girls are all amazing. Oh, I wanna hear that new single now :) I wonder why Yoshiro (Eri) was ot there as well. Sickness, Fripside's tour, recording for Railgun 2...? Man, I hope that it's just temporary and she stays with Muse. Now she is a lot more famous, I'm a little worry. We still need season 2 :( |

Man, I hope that it's just temporary and she stays with Muse. Now she is a lot more famous, I'm a little worry. We still need season 2 :( Yes, almost a whole hour! It is in 1080i so it doesn't take up as much space on disc. It has a lot of the duets, like Soldier Game with Umi and Maki! And they did the Nikorinbana songs too. It started with Wonderful Rush. They did Bokura no Live Kimi to no Life, Mermaid Festa 1 & 2, Listen to my Heart, after school NAVIGATORS, friendship no chance, confession weather... official Track list: 01. Wonderful Rush 02. 僕らのLIVE 君とのLIFE 03. 友情ノーチェンジ 04. Mermaid festa vol.1 05. Mermaid festa vol.2 ~Passionate~ 06. soldier game 07. 乙女式れんあい塾 08. 告白日和、です! 09. after school NAVIGATORS 10. Listen to my heart!! 17 chapters so there are some banter sections too while the girls catch their breath, drink water and change costumes. When Eli had to sing for the u's numbers they showed her in anime on the jumbotron... advantages of 2.5D girls I guess but there were spots in the choregraphy where you could tell she was missing. |

| A much better show than I had anticipated. It had a good mix of positive attributes: excellent artwork/animation, surprisingly engrossing plot, endearing characters, drama, back stories, humor, and catchy music. The last two episodes felt somewhat contrived and rushed in a few places, but it's not that big of a deal overall. From the way it ended, we're likely to see a second season of this series. I give this show an 8/10. |
| Salmon is delicious. |
| I love everything about these super cheesy idol shows: the animation, characters (both intra & interpersonal), drama, humor, music, and story. Adding μ's to my audio library. |
| 4/5 Episode that ends in the best way, a little obvious, but otherwise it should not be like when we saw the second season? XD really cute design and characters all well characterized, a little too predictable plot, but a product enjoyable and graphically attractive, a second series would be a good opportunity to better assess the first! |
