I also loved the stage costumes for the first three of these four.

In fairness, I can't compare to AKB0048, as I didn't watch much of that show. But I did watch a lot of iDOLM@STER, and I can't recall it having stage performance dance/song numbers as enjoyable/memorable to me as the ones in Love Live!
Interesting that I feel the exact opposite when regarding the performances of Love Live vs Idolm@aster. Idolm@ster really struck home with me with the use of the angles, and zero to very little use of cg (or extremely well done cg, since I didn't even notice the transition).

Love Live on the other hand, the cgs make the characters look like plastic, I almost always irk whenever I look at them. In the final episode, it was extremely apparent when the transition happened between the hand drawn art and the cgs.

Regarding the songs, I liked Idolm@ster a whole lot more than Love Live. However, I like Love Live's characters a lot more than Idolm@ster.

I feel the exact same way lol. Rest@rt is my favorite song in Idolm@ster.
