I loved Season 1. However, a lot of that really was the plot.
Love Live! Season 1 did a great job of slowly building up Muse. The bulk of its episodes was dedicated to the gradual and eventual formation of the entire group. This gave the narrative a real sense of forward momentum and growing viewer anticipation.
Plot-wise, this can't really be duplicated because Muse is now formed. There are a couple obvious things they can do in Season 2, and if they go with that it'll definitely help, but how they fill up another cour's worth of episodes is not something I'm altogether sure of.
Still, I love these characters and I loved Season 1, so I look forward to Season 2. Spring 2014 is a good time for the continuation - Almost exactly a year between the ending of one season and the start of the next.
