The story for love live is relatively simple which shouldnt be a surprise since its just a moe anime with the intention of using waifu fan service to get its main success.
It goes like this,
our main 3 characters (at the beginning) Honoka,Umi and Kotori find out that their school will be closed down in a year due to not having proper funding or new applicants to justify staying open.
So Honoka comes up with the brilliant plan to become highschool idols to attract new prospective students.
This is despite the fact that none of them have any musical or performance experience at all.
and thats the storyline for the first season, along the way the recruit other girls for their idol group but thats pretty much it.
one thing i will give this series is that unlike other moe anime this series does actually stick to the main storyline pretty well and doesnt drift too much in the name of fanservice and if it does drift it does return to the story pretty quickly.
[ART]
the quality of the art is pretty good i will admit.
Its done well enough to be above average but not enough to really stand out all that well.
The character designs arnt anything special but are unique enough to where each character looks different.
[SOUND]
ok so the sound is where this show excells because this is a music anime after all and unlike K-on this music anime actually has music in practice and they actually give performances.
But i will say while the music and choreography is good i dont like the psudo cgi style they are done in.
It just doesnt fit but thats my opinion.
The music is idol music so if you dont like upbeat catchy jpop music you probally wont like it but it does the music very well.
[CHARACTER]
ok so there are alot of characters in this show so im gonna limit to the main characters.
Kousaka Honoka: the leader of Muse and main character.......im just gonna be blunt she is a fucking dumbass and its surprising she hasnt accidently killed herself yet.
Minami Kotori: they overly cute character she is cute and innocent......and might have a lama fetish....
Sonoda Umi: dependable but very shy which makes me wonder why she is even in a idol group to begin with........she also has a few yandere esque moments
Koizumi Hanayo : garbage, trash and just unentertaining as a character at all.
Hoshizora Rin: not quite garbage, not quite a dumbass she is just not quite there.
She doesnt have any unique traits apart from being into sports
Nishikino Maki: a tsundere and the main songwriter for muse and the fan favorite it seems.
Arguably one of the most important characters in the show.
Yazawa Nico: Nico is probally the only person in this entire group who actually wants to be a idol.
She has a passion for being a idol where as everyone else doesnt seem to care as much as she does.
Also she is very cocky and sneaky which makes her best girl by default.
Ayase Eli: her being in muse makes no sense at all.
She spent half the season trying to sabotage the entire group so what do they do?
They invite her to join them......cuz that makes sense.
Toujou Nozomi: .....nozomi....ok im convinced this girl is a pedophile pretending to be a student because she is so knowledgable, alot more than a student should be and she molests everyone she can every chance she gets.
[ENJOYMENT]
despite the fact i tend to hate moe shows i honestly enjoyed this show just from the characters alone and to see what stupid decision honoka would make in the next episode.
i wouldnt say its amazing but it wasnt complete shit either.
