everyone loves Music Idol animes.
Idolmaster, K-ON, AKB, Love Live, etc etc (there's more) All of them are pretty popular when they were airing. Especially Idolmasster... you can find references to this anime almost everywhere, it's like one of the "Shounen TOPs" anime (for shoujo ranking) |

Satelight, despite all the problems AKB0048 has, made better looking CG for the song sequences, despite being more limited in coreography. As for Toei, in this department they don't really count as their best efforts are ED of a series (and just two per season, not stuff you put in a weekly series). The success of the series may lead to another season, and I don't mind as long as they time the story better and don't use the drama gimmick to wrap it up. |

I'm no expert on how CG models work, but as far as I can see, the CG in Love Live works extremely well. Sunrise has the budget for it and they've been working on this for over 2.5 years so I think they had time to figure out how to these dance CG sequences. I can't comment on Satelights work on AKB0048 fully since I didn't watch the whole thing, but one thing sticks out is that the transition between 2D and 3D is more obvious vs Love Live's 2D-3D.

I dunno, I think the show was alright, and it was entertaining enough.
Also, Maki is so win, and I would so take her home. Also, it looks like Kotori's mom and Maki's mom must have been classmates, given how pleasantly surprised they were to see each other.

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!

Though IM@S has lots of memorable song & dance numbers though, like Jibun Rest@rt, which imho still beats out any of the numbers in Love Live due to sheer energy. To me, the most memorable of the Love Live numbers was Start Dash, specifically the very first one.

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. |

To be fair to idolm@ster, I haven't watched it in awhile, so my memories of it are a bit faded. I might sit down at some point and watch some idolm@ster song and dance numbers mixed in with ones from Love Live!

It's one of anime's great moments Really really did enjoy this series alot, seems Idol shows like these just work for me if done even just well enough. I guess if you put enough energy into it and it shows, one can enjoy these shows quite alot. I still hold Idolm@ster as one of the most entertaining shows I've watched and I guess LL is up there with it somewhere. A great cast with some of them being real favorites with anime. The senpais stand out for me Bring on a 2nd season!
