Love Live breaks out of the limitations imposed on its too-safe first season and gets a real chance to shine here. If you're not into idols or idol pop, drop one or two stars; conversely, if you really, really like yuri or idol singers, you may just tack on that fiver and go find friends to do µ's cosplay with.

Great ideas and setup, but the execution Nico-Nico-Needs improvement.
Read full reviewOverly restrained and conventional, especially given the source material, the first season of Love Live strains to distinguish itself from any number of superficially similar series, and almost succeeds despite the best efforts of its directorial staff. Remove one star if you dislike idol singer culture; add one star if you enjoy it.
Read full reviewA wonderful cast and antics, shortchanged by mishandled execution and drama. Avoid the DVD version.
Read full reviewLame characters and awful music are barely salvaged by bright animation and the occasional amusing scene. Avoid unless you have a high tolerance for cheesy J-Pop songs.
