| I just have two words for this: "So kawaii!" |
| Cute character designs and nice animation, I will continue to watch. Do! I do! I live! Yes! So damn catchy. Also, dancing on the road isn't that smart, just saying xD |

| I liked it. It was funny and cute. The characterisation isn't bad, and I hope they follow through with some good character development. The music was great actually, I didn't really like the (2nd?) OP that much, but other than that it was awesome. Great use of brass too.I particularly like the instrumental brass piece, and that piece where Honoka was trying to do that Idol dance routine. Those 3D models tho. |
| This was unexpectedly entertaining :D |
 |
| ok start so far, hopefully it's going to be a good show just like what most people say. |
 |
| Why am I just watching this now? D: |
| It's 3 A.M, I'm watching Love Live and genuinely enjoying myself (even if the episode was a bit cheesy, over the top and slightly nonsensical) while jamming out to j-pop. I'm only a little disappointed in myself. |
| I'm watching this after playing LLSIF for a year or so, and.... THIS WHOLE TIME I THOUGHT HONOKA, UMI, AND KOTORI WERE THE FIRST YEARS. WELP. I'm glad I'm finally watching this though, it's making me love these girls even more than I already did. |
| I started the month off greatly with my first taste of idol shows, and it was unexpectedly entertaining. It's cute, it's full of energy, most of the main cast was introduced, the songs are good and I especially like how they established the strong relationship between Honoka, Kotori and Umi with that scene near the end. The only problem I have so far is the CGI which is jarring. Right now I'm liking Umi and Maki the most. I'm definitely interested in continuing further. Hopefully the succeeding episodes aren't that much worse. 9/10 |
| The statement below is true. The statement above is false. |
| Well, that was a really good start. The OP and ED are enjoyable and the characters looks cute and interesting. |
 |
| So much shitty 3DCG, don't know why I was expecting this show to look somewhat decent but kinda disappointed. |
     |
| It's only the first episode. I can tell that Eli is going to be my waifu, even though she's being mean as hell, right now. I love Maki's voice, BTW. Oh, and Susume--->Tomorrow was a great song to start off with! |
| Insert awesome anime quote by my favorite character, here. |
| Honoka's singing to start off the first ep was really nice |
| So I decided to (finally) watch this because of the mobile game and the anime is a lot prettier than I was imagining. The CGI wasn't too much of a turnoff to me. Also I got goosebumps from the Aishiteru Banzai part of this episode because that was probably my favorite song from the rhythm game and Maki's singing voice is like my 3rd or 4th favorite. I watched it twice with like no hesitation with a silly grin on my face. In fact I think I watched the majority of the episode with a silly grin because Honoka is pretty diabetes and because I'm pretty hyped for the whole "getting-the-band together" plot since the game just plops you into the middle of everything. |
 |
| Rewatching. Been a couple of years and don't remember much, so it should be fun again. |
| I played the app (Love Live School Idol Festival) before I actually watched the anime series, and it helped me with the characters and songs XD Really like the art and animation. The main characters are cute as hell, which is probably a good thing. |
 “Even if the attention isn’t forever, I’ll keep singing.” |
| While reviewing this anime series, after some time, I am still amazed at how pleasant and amusing narration, although the final part, I do not find very apt. The drawings are not the best in certain scenes, at least in the TV version, well-made scenarios, discrete animations. really cute characters, especially Honoka is really nice and fun. |
 |
| I didn't expect to like this anime but the episode was pretty good. I liked the characters and the comedy |
| Being someone who plays the game i had sudden realization...why didn't i watch the anime yet? so here i am I think my enjoyment was even more heightened by already knowing the songs...yes,i was singing along. And generally it was better than expected. |
| I like the songs so far but I think Honoka has some dead brain cells. |
"At some point, I stopped hoping." |
| Whoa! Did you see? Samurai Buyer is selling exclusive items of Love Live Concert!! I got mine here: http://samuraibuyer.jp/ng/en_us/lp/bandai I can't wait for it to come!! Kyaa!! <3 |

| It's been nearly a year (11 months) since I've started playing School Idol Festival and got hooked to all things Love Live and here I am... Finally watching this beautiful anime ♡ Just a few seconds in and I was greeted to Susume -> Tomorrow~ ...and the bad news as well ;-; I almost didn't recognize Nico in her masterful disguise in A-Rise territory ohoho But what surprised me is that Hanayo wears glasses o_o Umi's weak will towards archery-related idol lines was very funny~ Maki's rendition of Aishiteru Banzai was gorgeously pleasant on the ears and the piano made it even better ♡ I underestimated Honoka's adorable energeticness and delayed reactions omg but seeing her sincerely practicing those moves alone with Kotori and Umi watching made me tear up with the feels. After playing so much of their songs with them all together, I was surprised at how they act towards each other before they got to know them especially Eli and Nozomi lol I'm very excited in seeing them all end up as best friends and save the school~ |
 |
| "Nico Nico Nii" got me here. :D Good first episode and from the start Honoka stands out. |
 |
| Finally starting LL, it was what I expected, honoka a spunky cute. |
 |
| this looks already better then Love Live! Sunshine!! |
| This is more dramatic than I imagined, but I don't mind it too much. Honoka is really something haha. They can't close the school like this D: |
| I don't really watch idol animes but a friend forced me to watch this one.I disliked it before, but I'm enjoying it right now and it could probably change my overview about idol animes |
 |
| I am one of the many catches of "Nico Nico Nii", but now I am watching this series, too. And this first episode is really one of the best first episodes! Great start! I think I will watch it until the end, even when the music doesn't really match my liking. |
 |
| MC opened my heart to her right away, not gonna be the best show but I will enjoy this to full extent. |
| Granblue Fantasy brought me here. It's cute! I'm expecting average, but I actually enjoyed it ^^ I haven't watched any idol anime before. |
 |
| This seems like tons of fun and I already know I'm gonna love it. So much positive energy is emitted from the characters and directing. Dope start. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| Okay bois, all the memes got me. I have almost 200 LL memes on my phone and, even I don't always understand them, I laugh a lot, however I had refused to watch it until now... Everything looked so pretty! I think they put a lot of effort into this. Kotori best girl, her voice was cuter than what I had imagined and Eli seems far more serious, although I guess it's expected since she is the student's president. The A-rises song was quite catchy ngl. |
 |
| I found the ending song mind blowing. I think Love Live is the most visually stunning anime I have ever seen. The choreography is also unparalleled. Hands down the best idol anime and among my all time favorites. |
 |
| Cute anime. Not too into idol anime generally but this was darn cute. |
 |
| Nice and comedic, just how I like it |
 |
| It was cute, entertaining and funny. I was curious to see this because K-On! and Hibike! Euphonium are the only music anime I have ever seen so far. I guess this is focusing more on music than K-On! which was mostly an ordinary CGDCT anime. A good start. To the next episode. --> |

| starting the anime after playing the game for a while, it really is a lot more fun when we know the characters at least a decent amount lol Honoka had a lot of funny moments, and ofc let's not forget the love arrow shoot and all the problems that Umi had while aiming her arrows :p that being said, this felt like a long episode, for a moment i thought it had more than 20 minutes, probably cause i kept pausing it to take prints or to laugh out loud haha |
fav "new" girls from winter <3 (2 extra girls this time, but 36 seasonals so whatever) ... click sig for older seasons and more possible picks |
| I love all the girls but Maki and Honoka are my favs This anime is really good <3 im currently watching this and Love Live Superstar |
| honestly not a fan of the way during the op and ending it switches between 2d and 3d, the 2d looks much better so I wish they'd keep it like that. Other than that tho this was a fun first episode |
| Episode 1 started beautifully with a song, continuing the narration with the school's shut down closing problem. Honoka, Umi, and Kotori's close friendship where shown in this episode. Honoka the one who always drags the two in crazy situations and ideas. The thought of saving the school and creating an idol club, striving for the goals created is massively inspiring for the people who watches. I am definitely inlove since the start of the episode and I can feel that it will be a great series! |
