This first episode was better than I expected it to be.
My main issue with the various anime idol shows is that they get bogged down by sheer numbers, imo. They tend to start off with everybody already being an idol, and so you have like a dozen different girls to try to keep straight even when they're all in slight variations off of the same "idol" role. It also doesn't help that there's not always a clear-cut main character. So one thing I like about this show is how Honoka appears to be a clear-cut main character. Then there's her two friends. Then there's the Student Council President and her VP. Then there's the pianist, who's cuteness displayed in an anime avatar is the main reason I even discovered this show. Then there's everybody else. There's some decent role differentiation here, and some characters are more important. We also get to watch these girls become idols, which makes the narrative more interesting, imo. It makes this all a bit easier for me to get into this show the other idol shows were. Yuri-wise, Honoka was clearly wowed by Maki, and Maki blushed a lot over Honoka's compliment of her. So there might be something there. The Student Council Pres and her VP seem to have a certain chemistry between them. Honoka and her two friends are clearly a tight trio. So yeah, yuri-wise, there's plenty of potential here. Very nice and pleasant show. Good start. I hope it can keep it up.

That super clean delivery in the first 25 seconds of this show was all I needed to hear.
I also like that A-RISE (SNSD) song too. Oh and I'll be joining The Maki Empire as a Vanguard with my Raptor. (Keepin' in it Manly )

Im@s series give you a "made my childhood" feeling and you could watch it again and again without feeling weird while enjoying and even sharing their emotions . Natsuiro Kiseki, AKB0048 don't give that feeling and I don't expect Love Live to go that far but a good animations and song themes. |

If we're going by Galge standards, Honoka just opened up The Maki Route.
Unfortunately, she didn't click on "Introduce Yourself" instead of "Recruit Now". Oh well, there's always Day 2.
