Love Live School Idol Project is probably one of my favorite anime so far. Hands down. What I like The story is incredibly touching. Its one of the first anime to actually make me feel for the main character. The show doesnt just show you their journey it pulls you along with them. As the show progresses you make the same revelations as each of the characters do you feel as if youre alongside them. For example at the beginning of the show Honoka starts s to save the school from shutting down. But after gathering so many members and doing a few shows both she and us start to realize shes not exactly doing it to save the school anymore shes doing it because she loves it and she loves her friends. Theres another example Id like to give but its kind of a spoiler for the last 2 episodes. Another thing I like about this is the music of course. I dont know if I just have bad things to compare it to but the only other musical anime Ive watched is KOn and we all know how I felt about KOnhttps://anilist.co/review/3167. I thought KOns music was kinda dumb and a little repetitive. But Love Live just felt a lot more fun. The songs in Love Live helped tell the story as opposed to being in spite of the story. Not to mention theyre actually good songs otherwise. I felt like each of their performances was not just a way to squeeze in the thought Wait wait We still have songs and was actually a tangible achievement each of the characters made as idols and as people. I dont want to compare Love Live to other anime the whole time though so heres another thing I especially liked. I absolutely love every single character. The show has 9 main characters which can be challenging to keep track of but this show handles it exceptionally well. I never felt like any of the characters personalities just didnt fit nor did I feel any of them were boring. Every single character had a distinct lovable personality which I think is partially the reason Nico Nico Nii has become such a phenomenon. Its funny even if you havent seen the show yet ten times better once you have seen it because you realize Nico is actually the complete opposite of that. Not only is every character unique but they all work together in some magical way. Not to mention this show is hilarious. It nails both visual and spoken comedy. What I dont like Of course no show is perfect. I felt like Nozomis character was sort of a... Mary Sue? I didnt like how she basically made everything come together for the first half of the season. However the show did dial it down for the second half quite a bit. But again for the first half it was kind of annoying that she told us everything was by fate. Thats just boring. If Nozomi just didnt have that part of her character if she didnt read her magical cards the plot would not change at all and I would honestly like her character a lot more. Conclusion Much better than KOn
