Love Live Sunshine, oh shoot sorry. I mean Love Live Superstar is a new entry to the Love Live Series featuring five members instead of the usual nine or more members from the previous shows. This also can be watched without prior knowledge of the Love Live series.
Watching this show felt really refreshing to my plate, and made my stay in idol hell a bit much longer. ~~Not like I was leaving anytime soon.~~ Idol hell is a cult, please save our souls.
I think having five members instead of the nine or more feels refreshing to the series because I feel like they will get more time in the spotlight, and more character development throughout the show or possibly in future seasons. (lol they're probably getting a second season like all the other Love Live shows.)
Generally, I think all the characters are pretty fun and enjoyable, such as often the main center Kanon. She has a lot of personality to her character which I find really pleasant, and I feel like she has the strongest voice of the group. Keke? More Kekw, she is full so joy, explosive and is pretty meme. Sumire is the classic... galaxy brain and the gremlin type character of the group, but is pretty cool. Ren is the Student Council President and a tsundere; you will know what will happen when you watch too much of the Love Live series. Chisato is a rapper, part of the yakuza and an owl lover. As well the childhood friend to Kanon.
Lots of wholesome and funny chemistry between characters, it feelsgoodman.
The story is pretty simple and easy to follow. It has the similar formula to the previous Love Live series but more condensed and refined. Pretty cheesy stuff. But I love cheese.
There may be some stuff that would make you go "Huh? This doesn't seem right." or "could have been approached better." I didn't really mind it and I still had an enjoyable time regardless.
The setting mostly takes place at their school Yuigaoka Girls' High School, somewhere based in Love Live's version of Tokyo. There is also plenty of references or Easter eggs to prior Love Live shows placed around the environment. So there's some fun discoveries to be found.
I think they are top notch. The new art-style feels really refreshing to see, the CGI is really nice and I feel like it has been doing such an improvement from time to time. Lots of memes, frames and funny reactions to come out from this anime. Thank you Gundam Studio (Sunrise) and the staff, I really love ~~Gundams and~~ Idols.
TOP NOTCH IDOL MUSIC. That's all I can say and why you are here for. Maybe I'm bias. Feels very different from the other Love Live groups which is really revitalizing to the soul and still a bit cheesy sometimes.
The ending song has been looping in my ear for so long. It is just so good. The other inserts have also been looping in my head, that I feel like I won't be escaping idol hell anytime. I won't note the other songs, because I feel like you have to experience it yourselves. Quite bangers.
I have awaken a love for Love Live Superstar, to the point where I watch the episodes airing on Sundays twice or for the third time. I just do not know why. Maybe I am truly idol trash, and idol hell has gotten me to the point of no escape. Anyways, I hope you enjoy this revie-GALAXYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY.
Galaxy/Galaxy would recommend the show.
