When I first heard about Love Live! School Idol Project, the name got me going. Is it a romance anime or a idol anime (maybe even both). Turns out it's just a idol anime.
Story: 3
I got into the anime very quickly after the first two episodes. They were what kept me watching, they were definitely not boring and didn't lack of many attributes that keep the audience from getting bored. Mainly the anime's structure was definitely strong in an interesting way. Love live didn't have an amazing story line as it fell off near the middle of the anime drastically and went nowhere but somethings kept me from watching it. The idol group (Muse) kept pursuing their dreams and becoming better while recruiting more members to their group. Muse's goal is to become popular, famous and successful, and hopefully one day surpass Arise (idol group) in the ranking ladder. Just that thought in mind was really exiting and i couldn't wait to watch every other episode.
Art: 7
The art is not so unique that you can recognize too easily from other anime's. What makes an anime's art work good is when it's original. I just feel like this art-style is being overused. Doesn't go too much into details.
Sound: 9
Sound is the strongest part of this anime. Stunning! Obviously, it's an idol anime. But this takes a step further from other idol. When the characters sing, it's so good it gives me the goose bumps! The reason i gave it a 9 was sometimes, the characters sound a little over-exaggerated and doesn't fit all too well with a certain character, but rarely. I really have not much to say other than "great!".
Character: 6
The characters are very unique from each other. Giving the anime a lot more space of room to toy with because there are 9 different characters! The main important characters are Honoka, Kotori, and Umi.
The rest are more of a side character but are each a big contribution to the idol group and the series with each character being important in an episode.
Enjoyment: 7
Enjoyable in two different aspects, comedy and singing. Love live gives me a smile in my face when i'm watching because in each episode there is something funny and not all anime's have that. The Singing is a big factor when reviewing this anime because it is an idol based anime. Each music is great, and they really mean a lot when singing.
OVERALL: 6.4
Didn't read because it was too long?
Summary:
-Story:3.
Had a good start but fell off in the middle of the series. Didn't have a good an original goal.
- Art:7.
Was good but wasn't original. It was good when it transitioned into 3d models when performing concerts but didn't have too much shading, effects...etc.
-Sound:9.
Obviously an idol anime would put itself in a good position when graded with sound. Really good and i can't get enough of their sound tracks!
-Character:6.
Each character part-took a good role in each episode leaving no characters mysterious and successfully gave each characters a good personality. Lacked of giving character with more time.
Enjoyment:7.
Love live gave one more thing just than an idol singing. Comedy. Each end of an episode would leave me with a good smile and wanting to watch more.
