| The whole point of s1 was that they're not moose. Even if they have virtually the same personality traits, storyline, and songs. The real difference is aqours has braids. |

snarat said: no one can beat μ's +1 Even in ep1 it's still obvious they are lingering in their shadows, trying to be over the top and not taking itself seriously. And that's the problem. Because while µ's had many funny scenes and lot of cliche drama, they were normal people with feelings in the first place. While Aquors I can only see them as caricatures and parodies of the usual character archetypes. |
| maybe it will why not |
| In the world of idols, μ's is a legend, and it's tough to beat that lmao But, I don't know, I have high hopes for Aqours |
| μ's songs were already average-below average and only made up for it thanks to some of its cast members (Nozomi, Nico, Maki). Aquors' songs are all bad, the only good song in the whole last season was the one their opponents performed and the whole cast ranges from bad to shit tier (Mari) with the exception of Hanayo. NO |

| the anime version kinda butchered the character introduction for Aquors. Riko -> if you ignore the first 2 seconds that don't really count, she's first introduced as someone who's decided to go and jump into the water for no reason. well, one could argue that she was feeling the pressure from not being able to play the piano at a concert and what have you, but we don't know about this until much later - so her jumping into the water feels pretty random. Ruby -> someone who screams loudly at the slighest touch of her hand by a fellow female student Yohane...well Yohane is Yohane Chika -> doesn't know who the head of the student council is...which should be common sense for the students. introduction of Aquors character in episode 1 felt rushed at best and made to maximise meme faces. i'm not saying introduction of muse character was that much realistic, but not even Nico's intro in Love Live was like this. in fact, the original doesn't even introduce Nico until episode 5. they didn't try to shoehorn every muse character right from episode 1 in the original. |

| U's is still better than Aquors. The newer songs are not as good, but the Sunshine season 2 opening is better than the original LL season 2 opening. Sunshine, as a show, also, is not as good. |

| If we're going to compare them based on individual members, I guess maybe. Yes Aqours has better characters. But if we're going to compare them as a whole group, I don't think Aqours can beat Muse. To be honest, I can imagine Aqours can do stuff individually or can be separated into 3 groups based on their year level, I can perfectly imagine that. Aqours being 9 members isn't fitting for some reason, as if they're not acting as a whole group unlike when I'm watching Muse. Meanwhile, I can't think of Muse doing anything if they're not complete like it's really not natural if you see them lacking one of their members. I can feel the bonds of Muse' 9 members much stronger than the bonds of Aqours' 9 members. |
 |
| I don't think one is better than the other. They are, in my opinion, good in their own ways. |
When people tell me to stream anime on CR instead of downloading from fansub sites.  |
| Sunshine feels a lot less cheesy than the original series imo. And the character development and story direction have felt pretty spot-on. |
 |
| Sunshine already wins in my book because they actually made some efforts towards making their cgi presentable. Even what some people would call the most important performance by muse, Snow Halation, still looked absolutely atrocious. LLS season 1 was still hanging around the uncanny valley, but they didn't look like robots anymore. Now LLS season 2 the cgi is almost unnoticeable unless you are actively looking for it. That is the only thing I care about, both groups have pretty much an equal number of fantastic and garbage songs. So that's not a factor to me. I'll be completely honest, I don't remember why muse started. I think Honoka just felt like it. But the motivation in sunshine isn't that much better. Just because 9 girls at a school ended up becoming successful idols, that means nothing to me. Now if you said, "Our school has various resources, facilities, and accommodations that have helped to shape 9 of our lovely students to find success." Then that would attract anybody striving to become an idol. Or are they so narcissistic that they think people will move to the boonies just to hopefully breathe the same air as the aquor members? But I'm nitpicking. Sunshine is fine. The production alone will elevate the series leaps and bounds now that the dancing isn't going to give me nightmares. |

| They already are after just season 1 LLSunsine is made to better than LLSIP And it already is better after just the first season No plot armor, less cringy and not as random like LLSIP |

| in terms of the plot in the anime series, there's really not much to compare. they're just the same; orange-haired girl wants to save her school along with her two best friends, then comes along six more girls. but when it comes to the songs, Aqours is a bit more superior. i still love μ's though. |

EDIT: Just checked her sizes and what the fuck Chika's boobs is bigger than what I expected? I always thought at least hers is smaller than Honoka's because Chika's boobs on the anime seems really small to me like the same level as Umi's. So that explains why Chika's boobs seems bigger on School Idol Festival story modes than on the anime... |

| Aqours is million time better. Better characters and first season sunshine already better than the first two season of the opriginal. Original only have one good character. Maki. |
| when it comes to music, i like some music i like and dislike from both groups. soundtrack is top-notch for both though, and the insert songs are catchy as well. Aquors season 1 suffered from rush and too much muse-pandering, but it's better in season 2. Chika (manga version) > Chika (season 2) > Chika (season 1) Chika (season 1): the school is closing down! that's so exciting, this is our chance to be muse and save the day! *obsession with muse reached 9 thous-*. wait, who's the student council president? Chika (season 2): i don't care about Love Live anymore. i don't want the school to close. Chika (manga): the school will close by the time underclassmen reaches our age and they will go their separate ways. i want to at least make this matsuri event to be very lively (so it becomes an unforgettable memory for the underclassmen when the school closes) |

| I'd say: STORY (overall) Sunshine S1>Original S2>Sunshine S2>Original S1 (characters) Sunshine>original (music) I like more sunshine music than the original (snow halation is still the only thing that really caught my attention) (buildup episodes (character development)) sunshine>original yeah but I'm biased over aqours in terms of scoring. I think the second season suffered a lot on its presentation. It just didn't feel like Love Live anymore. I'd say season 1 was the better season since it felt like they didn't know what direction they would take aqours with and they finalized on them not succeeding(which honestly would have been good if done right but they didn't do it right, I wonder if we got a change of director/script writer) and honestly what @DreamingBeats said about the sudden change in Chika was a bit out of place tbh... I feel as though aqours had more development than muse and had a more solid drama script than SIP ever did despite the lackluster writing of the overraching plot about the school. I felt like they wasted the buildup season 1 had which was utterly perfect. |
EGOISTFeb 7, 2018 7:43 AM
| @EGOIST i'm still at Sunshine season 2, episode [strike]7-ish[/strike]9, but for now.. edit: btw, some of character story is lost in the series and you need to read the School Ido Diary to get a more complete background of the characters. i also expect Aquors School Idol Diary to fell in the gaps in character background...when it gets released eventually. |

| @DreamingBeats Most of the drama on the original isn't really recurring like that of Sunshine which kinda lessens the impact on its viewers. That's one of the reasons why Sunshine truly impacted more on me than the original ever did. And as you already mentioned, muse is trying to convey something on it's drama episodes but usually fall flat at most cases which has a vital part to play not only for the characters but for the overall impact of the show as well. You mentioned that they only needed a few episodes from some drama but I think that completely defeats the main message Aqours is trying to convey. The constant muse references made the show 100 times better. (P.S. It's not even that much as people say it is, this is coming from someone who recently rewatched season 1) and I know this might come off as bad writing to most or even be called another way of milking the series, I think that isn't entirely the case. I watched the first season of sunshine as it was airing 2 years ago and I wasn't that much of a fan of it as I am now and I watched it only about a month after I watched the Original which at that time I also had the mentality that the original would always be better. I watched it casually without really getting to overexcited on things but when Episode 10 hit, I knew it was already better than the original. I'm not sure if you were the same person who I sent this video to but this scene really hit me hard and the constant muse reference was a modifier to that impact(a good one) and I think it wouldn't be as memorably if it was just done in a matter of episodes rather than making it a main goal I do think that muse had more development done than aqours which is pretty visible considering the fact that they had ample time for development especially on season 2. Even though aqours might have paled in comparison, I feel as if these single character development episodes that we get lasts for a long run and are more meaningful than most of the original's. They come off as normal instead of bizarre like some drama of the original(which is honestly pretty annoying). One thing's for sure though, Chika is the one that developed the most out of all the characters in the franchise which I really appreciated(why she became my favorite). I feel like some characters like Hanayo and Rin were overshadowed by its other members and that shouldn't really be the case in shows like these and I think they did a better job at balancing out their character's personalities on Sunshine. Even the show thinks that they are leaving out Rin, otherwise they wouldn't make an episode of her for season 2(even though it's one of the better handled episodes of the original) As I mentioned before, they didn't even refer to muse as much as people make it out to be and even if they did. It isn't just a waste of time considering the fact that they associate it with its characters. Take Hanamaru's episode as an example, she didn't really feel like joining aqours because she's not really the outgoing type and we later get a scene where she was referring to herself to rin which was overshadowed by the others but still found a way to shine which makes it more impactful. I will read the manga sometime if I ever have the time but I doubt it'll be as impactful as the anime is considering Jukki Hanada does a good job at composing the script for sunshine and his more recent work A place further than the universe. TL;DR MORE DEVELOPMENT muse>aqours BETTER DEVELOPMENT aqours>muse |
EGOISTFeb 7, 2018 6:20 PM
that video is pretty cool, though i still stand by that they overdid glorifying muse. mentioning muse in a few episodes is fine, and in the case of the rin reference, not bad at all. showing an entire muse music video clip for several seconds every episode until episode 8-ish. that's overdoing it. they could have done this in 1 or 2 episodes and get the same effect, especially if they time it right. (an example being Pripara) don't get me wrong - i love muse as much as the next fan, but every second spent on muse is a second that could have been spent on Aquors, and with only 13 episodes, every second counts. i woudn't be surprised if they originally planned a lot more in the series, but cut it down due to time constraints. honestly, Love Live would have been better if there were more episodes - i'm speaking for both the original as well as Sunshine. more episodes would allow for more character-development episodes, and less rush. PR: Rainbow Live comes to mind as an example of a series that woudn't have worked if trimmed down to 13-26 episodes. Bell's psychological breakdown woudn't be all that impactful if we didn't get to "know" her for several episodes beforehand. her breakdown doesn't come at random, either - it's foreshadowed right on the outset, through hints - large and small. one thing worth mentioning though is Saint Snow - they feel quite different in season 2 compared to season 1, but in a good way - the unexpected drama in episode 8 wasn't out of place, and helped develop their characters in a way that made sense. this, along with episode 9 followup are among my favorite episodes so far. btw, as for Chika - her new SIF UR (the one from your profile pic) is adorable! "i wonder if it's cold because we say it's cold? it's not cold, i't not....ugh. it is cold" her design is adorable in the manga - her smile alone in the 2nd volume is well worth it. |

DreamingBeats said: This 100%manga aquors > anime aquors. that's all. Aqours has better music, and more interesting characters. But, the anime kind of fell back on their gimmicks too much, which is why the manga is underrated and the guy who is translating them needs to politely hurry up! I'd also like to see if anyone has translated any of the Dengeki G. bits. Muse anime > Aqours anime Muse everything else < Aqours everything else |

| Signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the Site & Forum Guidelines. |
| First and foremost, wtf?? µ's will always be way ahead of Aqours Maki > Aqours. no printers just faxx I'm even amazed people give such high regard to Aqours |
 |
| For one thing, my friend really likes Sonoda Umi and he also said to me that he was and even now never prepared to leave µ's. Being the first generation stuff, I guess. Never tried to watch Aqours because the thought of being the second generation, but me? I will, or probably. |
