However, it would be an insult to describe Love Live as yet another "cute girls doing cute things" anime, as it is a far more meaningful experience.

It is simply a story of nine teenage girls forming an idol group together. But now having finished the second season, Love Live has become one of my favourite anime franchises.Ĭertainly it is not an anime that will test the mind or change anyone's life.

I dropped it after the first episode aired and wondered later on what people saw in the series. was no fan of the franchise when the TV series made its debut in early 2013. But, much like K-ON's mediocre first season and excellent second season, Love Live 2 has managed to do more than improve upon its predecessor - it has genuinely become an amazing anime. There wasn't much to set itself apart from other idol shows (especially with the likes of Idolmaster and Aikatsu dominating the genre) and it fell prone to melodrama far more than it should have. It's hard to deny that the first season of Love Live began with a rocky start. If there have been any worries about the future of the idol genre, Love Live 2 has dispelled them. Love Live! School Idol Project 2nd Season continues the story of the girls as they laugh, cry, sing, and dance in their journey to determine the future of their group and conquer the Love Live! in their last chance to win with all nine girls together. Though the question of whether to continue without the third years or disband weighs heavily on the minds of its members, μ's must quickly come to an answer with graduation right around the corner. As they attempt to reach the top of the Love Live!, they must also consider their future and choose what path the group will take. However, with the end of the school year approaching, the graduation of the third years draws near. Given a chance for redemption, the nine girls come together once more to sing their hearts out and claim victory. What more, following the conclusion of the first, a second Love Live! is announced, this time on an even larger stage than before. Otonokizaka High School has been saved! Despite having to withdraw from the Love Live!, the efforts of μ's were able to garner enough interest in their school to prevent it from being shut down.
