Otonokizaka High School stands on the border of three cities: Akihabara—a pop culture mecca that's evolving by the minute; Kanda—a conservative, cultured city where history and tradition reign supreme; and Jinbo—a quiet area reserved for a more mature, sophisticated population. Amidst this culture clash, the school now faces closure due to the enrollment of fewer and fewer students.
With the school planning to close within three years, nine female students come together with one thing in mind—form a pop idol group to revive the school's popularity and keep it from shutting down. "In order to protect our beloved school, there's only one thing we can do... become pop stars!"
Their goal is simple: Become an overnight sensation and use their nationwide media exposure to promote their school and bring in a wave of new students to the ailing area. A simple but solid plan, they figure. Naturally, they're nervous and wonder if this plan can really succeed, but for better or worse their new journey has begun...
"All we can ask for is just a tiny bit of support from you. We truly believe that with your help, we can change the world around us. We will make our dreams come true!"

Unlike other anime about idols, we are talking about high school students who want to become School Idols to save their school from sudden closure, and already here it is a completely innovative concept in my opinion.
I really appreciated how the various events were divided: from the creation of the Us to the due forcing to abandon Love Live for the sake of Honoka, since they were in the top of the idol groups that had access to it. We talked about Honoka, let's talk a bit about the Characters
___
CHARACTERS 10/10
Honoka: I think she is the best pg, because with her character she manages to overwhelm everything, and create what we could call a miracle, as well as the best leader ever (personal opinion)
Kotori: In this season it does not shine so much, in the second we will see its development. I didn't really appreciate the way he wanted to leave without saying anything to Honoka for the lack of time.
Umi: What can I say: it's Umi enough this
Nico: Only this: Nico-Nico continue you
Rin: We will see its true development in season 2
Hanayo: Too bad because it had great potential but only 1 episode was not enough.
Maki: The best
Eli: We could call her the Mom of the US, although at first I hated her behavior, with time I was able to appreciate her.
Nozomi: She who in times of need gave the strength needed to the US

WHY DID I LOVE LOVE LIVE?
I started watching love live in a moment I would call dark in my life, I was quite depressed, but in a way Love Live managed to save me from this moment, and I'm really grateful because I wouldn't know now where I would be without the Us. I think for anime lovers about idols this is a MUST WATCH.
_____
Let's say that after seeing quite a few souls on idols, I can say that I understand enough to have a word about it.
Do I recommend it as the first anime about idols? Of course it is a great start for those who want to take the path of Idol.
Did I love him? To madness
Will I watch it endlessly? The answer seems obvious to me
To conclude I will say only this:
THANKS U'S
THANK YOU LOVE LIVE!
