| I didn't expect that kind of ending thought but it was all good. Don't worry Umeko you were not the only one that were stuck at this " A-Rise " were watching the live performance. They might feel surprised there was another school that were this good, thanks to Eri-chan to help them with dancing. A-Rise easily claimed the victory for Love Live! I want some more Love Live! I also hope for a 2nd season, can we get a quick announcements ? The screen " Entry Accepted " So they back on the ranking lists again. |
Nothing ventured, nothing gained (Girls und Panzer der Film ) / from Nishizumi Miho |
| That was actually really good, though its unfortunate "Snow Halation" wasn't in the series. Start Dash was my favorite (in the series) so that somewhat made up for it I guess. Great episode, sad to see this series end. :( Season 2? :D |
 |
| Wow she got to the airport and back fast as fuck. 8/10 Pleasant ending to a pleasant show. One of my favorite parts of the episode was the members of A-RISE looking at the live video with dumbfounded looks on their faces. Now Muse is on their radar. A respectable feat. |
 |
| mm, the OP to love live really had me fooled. i thought they would actually end at love live but they didn't even go.. all in all though this was a good anime even though the drama with honoka was a little strange, but whatever. they all worked it out and had a happy end.. season 2 pls. i didn't think i'd like this anime, but i really did. maybe i should watch those other 2 idol animes i skipped. |
Lurkerkiller said: I really enjoyed this series a lot more than I thought I would and even though I would like another season, I am very doubtful it will get another for some reason. Just doesn't seem as big as a show would need to be to get another season. Have you seen the BD sales figures?? |
| Before seeing those sales was thinking this show was a bit underrated but never mind haha,wasn't sure if they was gonna get a second season but it seems highly likely at this point. Eh besides the drama this show was really good not even a big fan of idol type music and i liked a lot of the songs they performed. |
 |
| 7.5/10 The first idol anime I've watched. |
 |
| Not bad. Not bad at all, althought the last two episodes weren't the best. I'm looking forward to a second season! 7/10 |
| Well first of all I'm glad it all worked out in the end. Kotori came back, and everyone has made up, although they weren't really mad, just some misunderstandings. So they finally got together by the end of the episode, and performed their last live concert for the season. And this one was seen by A-rise. They feeling the competition now haha. :D I would definitely love a second season, but I don't know how it would work out. I don't know how much time the school year has left, as there are 3 seniors who will be graduating, and it will definitely not be the same. We have 2 juniors who we know will probably join u's if they do enroll in that school, which are Honoka's and Eri's little sisters. And about the show, I realy loved it. I enjoyed thoroughly, and was left satisfied. Well not enough, because I want a 2nd season :D. I loved all of the characters, and of course my favorite was Honoka. OF COURSE. But I loved all the 9 girls and the 2 juniors. So in the end, Kotori's mother and another lady were surprised when they saw each other. I wonder if they knew each other from long ago and finally met again? Or i just forgot who that is. (The one with dark red hair) Maki's mom? lol. I don't know I guess I will search for it. Anyways 9/10 for me. |
 |
| μ's! MUSIC START!! :) |
Good to see quite a Nice ending Im hoping for a Season 2 indeed. Series gets a 9/10 from me :)  |

Anyway, I can see myself in the episode (the one on the right of course) :  MoonxArtemis said: Yes, the rich moms of Kotori and Maki ;-) So in the end, Kotori's mother and another lady were surprised when they saw each other. I wonder if they knew each other from long ago and finally met again? Or i just forgot who that is. (The one with dark red hair) Maki's mom? lol. I don't know I guess I will search for it. Lurkerkiller said: That only measures only the reactions of a part of overseas fans not the fans in Japan. Besides, only if the forum is active, it can mean arguments, debates, or criticisms instead of popularity. I have not since I don't really keep track of anything and how I generally measure how popular an anime is is based on how active the forums on MAL are. |

| 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. |
| I wonder if these are their moms, or their teachers. The ones on the left look like they could be Rin's and Hanayo's. Mod Edit: large image put under spoiler tag. |

| honoka best girl. dat leader status. 8/10 very good. and that man's manly tears. what a man. |
    |
| Great ending! 9/10 (had to take a point off because of ep12), but it was still really good nonetheless! Fully deserves to be currently blitzing all the Winter 2013 anime out of the water in sales :) Voted for Maki in the μ's 6th Single PV poll. Well I had to chose between her and Eri anyhow, lol. "START:DASH!!" with all 9 of the girls sounded pretty amazing ^^ Looks like this version will also be released on the OST (which also features A-RISE''s "Private Wars" from ep1) on April 10. |

Tsumi-tan said: Amarrez said: Also, voted for Maki in the 6th PV poll, and you should as well. Haha yes I did~ I like Honoka and Niko better, but they already have a PV, so it would be unfair right! That was so cute when Honoka said to Kotori ''Don't go!'' *-* Yes, don't go anywhere and give me a second season, thanks~ START:DASH!! by everyone d(ﾟ∀ﾟ)b I liked this anime a lot. Friendships, hardwork and even drama, how marvelous <3 All the songs were great too, I didn't dislike one. I developed an idols fetish for sure thanks to iDOLM@STER and Love Live! o.o How much money are they going to steal from me again?! so idolmaster a good one to pick up from LL? (currently the only other 'music' genre ive seen is..k-on..currently dredging through it 1-2 eps at a time, the max i can watch of that at a time lol) |
 |
| first Akb0048 eneded now this me so sad |
| Generic and predictable, but I prefer happy endings anyhow 3/5. I do like it however that they have failed the Love Live, it's nice to see a main character messing up something without the possibility of making up for it instantly, there have been too many absent-minded girls in anime who get away with everything. 6/10, a decent show. |
| Probably the best episode since the the three of them first went on stage near the beginning. I would have liked to see some more practicing, performances or singing in general, but it was decent enough. Decent enough in fact, to make me want to watch a sequel if there ever is one. OH WOW! 800 posts!! YAY!! ahaahhaha |
| Season 2, NOW! |
| It was a fun ride. And seeing my most loved show ended saddens me. It was good Umi-chan told Honoka to get Kotori-chan back. Umi saying, "Go get your girlfriend back!" lol jk The moment I watch the pvs back then, I was like "this needs a tv series badly". And when I watch Honoka dancing in road, I said "I think I'm gonna enjoy this till the end." And it did! The characters where lovable and endearing. The personalities they have, their hilarious scenes and funny faces they make especially Nico's. I love all of them and it's difficult to choose only one, thought Honoka was my favorite prior to the series. Strange I have a favoritism on them main idol characters of other idol animes, Nagisa of AKB0048, and Haruka of Idolmaster. Anyway, glad all that's been settled, misunderstandings have been cleared and Kotori is back again. I like her cute chipmunk voice. Screw the haters! All of them performing start dash with nine of them was a awesome performance finale. I'm surprise that A-RISE was watching them with live with a surprised look. They finally fulfilled their wish that they'll fill the auditorium. Great! I love how every episode makes me smile and laugh and I'm gonna miss that part of the series. I'm seriously hoping for a 2nd season. With BD sales blowing away other competitors, they have enough budget to make a sequel. As for Honoka, since she likes singing, she should pursue a singing career when she graduates. Love live is the most entertaining anime of winter season. I'm giving this a 8/10 |

symbv said: Anyway, to me this is clearly the most appealing show in this season and it is something I did not expect at all 3 months ago. Great animation, great music, great characters (they are all lovely and they are memorable, particularly their funny faces or actions) and solid story with a lot of laugh and sweat (and sometimes tears too). Two thumbs-up !!! Yep. Definitely one of the more enjoyable shows this season. For me, the best thing of this show is its songs. It definitely live up to being an "idol" Anime. There's a lot of animation mistakes though. Its not fun to see bad frames every episode. Well, not a perfect animation but i won't call it bad. I love the characters <3 The art is awesome. I am not sure if I am gonna score it 6 or 7. I must say this show really needs a second season. If there's no second season then I'm gonna cry. For now, 6/10. |
| Brilliant Final Ending!!! Art: 9/10 Story: 9/10 Characters: 10/10 Music: 9/10 Overall Rating: 9/10 Nice to see the group with mainly Honoka and Kotori reuniting and their performance was very good. The 1st PV was just the three main trio at the start and they made it a lot better with everyone in the group involved. Loved Honoka's Dad at the end and it seems like Kotori's and Maki's mum know each other. Even the 1st rank A-Rise is aware of the group. Overall I think Love Live! was very enjoyable. The setting for the story was simple and easy to follow and was made well with the live shows and music the group performed as the series progressed. The drama towards the end was pretty well done and they ended in the best way possible. I really hope for a second season as there are many things to expand on and will be very interesting!! GO μ's!!! Episode Rating: 5/5 |

| pre-release full songs No Brand Girls Start:Dash |

| so when's the sequel? |
So whose hand is who?  Hint: |

| Good show. I loved all the music especially No Brand Girl. All of the characters were likeable as well but Nozomi will always be my fav:). However the problem was solved too quicky. This show could have been better without the drama and stayed to comedy. I just think it didn't fit at all. Anyways 8/10 |
| WOOOOOOOW! When I started watching these, I knew that I would like it. I love what I call Anime-Pop (yes, actually J-Pop), I mean the opening and ending themes to shows. They are very important to me. Also I loved K-On! so I was just sure I would like a show about music that actually has a lot of music in it (live performances and stuff, like K-On!). But man, I would have never thought that it would be THAT great. I love each and every character and the drama and comedy was just amazing. I loved each and every single episode. Additionaly, it's pretty much clear that there will be a second season. It might sound a bit weird for some of you, but what different score could I give? 10/10. It's my opinion and I think it's well deserved. It's still not "perfect" (like Clannad After Story hehe), but a music Anime can't be "perfect" I think. So in my personal offline rating, it's still "just" a 9.5/10. But just because MAL does not have the possibility to rate it .5 and I really feel it's more a 10 than a 9 to me, I just have to. SEASON 2!! PLEASE COME SOON!!! I WILL BE WAITING!!! EDIT: I forgot to mention that! What better way could there have been to end the season than having my favorite of all the songs performed by ALL of them?? :-O |

| This anime is quite the ride.... Pretty good moe-slice-of-life idol anime + some silly drama.... And it's doing it's job right (unlike some certain-san anime).... But, damn it's enjoyable (than most of series of winter).... Final ep. - 4/5 Series - 7/10 |

ThangLong said: pre-release full songs No Brand Girls Great, thanks! |
| so it's over :(( I like it, it was funny. |
| it was fun while it lasted, really enjoy this. 7/10 |
| 7/10 The musics was pretty good and catchy The story was decent The characters were the main plus point for me |
| Good fuckin gawd, I absolutely loved the last episode. It was kinda obvious that everything was gonna work out in the end, but how it was all resolved was really satisfying. I don't even care how Kotori blowing off studying abroad at the last minute to stay seemed to be selfish and not as dramatic as it could've been. Being selfish to fulfill Honoka's selfish desire to become school idols is perfectly okay in my book. rofl The last performance was really awesome, too. It was well-animated and had a decent blend of 2D and CG. It was also pretty fitting for μ's to perform START:DASH!! in the auditorium. They even played the entire song. And I guess Kotori and Maki's moms know each other? And the members of A-RISE watched the performance.That's cool. And lol at Honoka's dad tearing at the end. As for the possibility of a second season, I believe it's pretty high. I mean,the BDs of the first volume sold over 18,000 copies, not to mention the CD singles and albums already selling pretty decently. And μ's was once again added to the idol rankings. They're fuckin back! Really enjoyed this series. It's definitely my choice for most underrated show of Winter 2013. |
| Pretty good series imo and catchy songs . Typical plot for musical anime though . 8/10 |
 |
| honestly I didn't like ep13 because of too much drama XD but the rest of the episodes, I'm gonna miss this series XD & I want season2!! 9/10 |
     |
| and so its end :D 7/10 |
 |

| Absolutely loved the ending, I really want a season two otherwise I will highly miss this anime. Hell, I miss it already :( I was on the verge of crying because of this last episode. |
