I could probably say that I felt embarrassed inside while watching the first few episodes due to this being my first idol anime, but eventually I got used to the feeling and I opened myself up to this anime. The insert songs were amazing too, I ended up downloading that 'Dash' song too (it was that good :>). I don't usually watch endings because they're usually dull and boring, but I really loved the ending song this time, I ended up watching it every episode. The opening was just straight up amazing, I almost watched it every episode. The sound is the second thing I enjoyed a lot in this anime. That's basically it for the story since I don't want to spoil a lot. Eventually they reach 9 members by around episode 6-9, forgot. They name this school idol group 'Muse' (sorry I don't want to look all over the internet just for a greek character). We have these 3 main characters make an school idol group in order to save the school from closing (because they aren't reaching the applicant quota). There are 3 main characters in this anime, Honoka, who is seriously hyper and energetic, Umi who is very shy and was reluctant to become a school idol at first, and Kotori who is a very calm, and a little shy. In terms of characters, all of them are easily likable, none of them are really that bland. The producers should have shown the girls in action more (I don't literally mean in action, I meant that they should probably have shown more of their songs). The only thing I disliked about this anime was the fact that they were taking too long to prepare for the live shows and stuff like that. In other words, the art was what some people call it, flawless.
All the characters were nicely designed and all of the 9 girls are cute. Yes, I'm a very picky person when it comes to art, and this anime reached my expectations when it came to the art. There are a lot of things I liked about this anime, but the thing I liked most was probably the art. This anime taught to me that hard workĪctually does pay off, that if you try your hardest, you will eventually arrive to your destination point. Sure this anime might be targeted towards children rather than teens/adults, but it doesn't mean that teens/adults wouldn't enjoy this. I don't usually watch idol anime, but I wanted to try this out because of the outstanding art that this anime offers.Īt first I was really hesitant, even to the point where I removed it off my PTW list because I would feel embarrassed having watched something like this. When asked, a lot of people don't like idol anime or anything similar, or in other words, anime based on music and stuff. With the contest fast approaching, Honoka must act quickly and diligently to try and bring together a school idol group and win the Love Live in order to save Otonokizaka High School.
But the Love Live, a competition to determine the best and most beloved school idol groups in Japan, can help them gain the attention they desperately need. Moreover, Honoka and her friends have trouble attracting any additional members. Student council president Eri Ayase vehemently opposes the establishment of a school idol group and will do anything in her power to prevent its creation. Unfortunately, it's all easier said than done. With the help of her childhood friends Umi Sonoda and Kotori Minami, Honoka forms μ's (pronounced "muse") to boost awareness and popularity of her school. Searching for a solution, she comes across popular school idol group A-RISE and sets out to create a school idol group of her own. However, second year Honoka Kousaka refuses to let it go without a fight. Otonokizaka High School is in a crisis! With the number of enrolling students dropping lower and lower every year, the school is set to shut down after its current first years graduate.
