I have not yet begun to look ridiculous |
I have you now my pretties. |
One of the more popular trends in anime today is to make shows about idols and Love Live School idol project is one of the most popular shows of this wave. I think that is not entirely happenstance, Love Live does a good job of creating memorable and likable characters, especially given that there are nine main characters in the cast. Another thing about this show is that idol shows are about music and this show delivers quite a few catchy tunes.
A picture like this is pretty much required for a review like this. |
However this is not say that Love Live is some artistic masterpiece. While the characters may be fun there is little time to develop them beyond a basic personality for each of them. However how much of this matters is up to the individual. Idol shows might be nothing more than artistic junk food but I can say with some assurance that Love Live is perhaps one of the best bags of potato chips in this aisle.
Overall I think that Love Live tries to be nothing more than simple idol entertainment and succeeds well at being that.
Rating the Bronze Minmay (Macross) for being a nice show that is all about the music.
