(This recommendation pertains to both the 2 seasons of LL and Free) Focusing on the slice of life aspect, both shows start with the premise of getting together with other diverse characters to achieve a common goal. Later on in both series, the goal becomes clearer that the "groups" want to do something big (winning Love Live for Muse and doing a relay in the nationals for the Iwatobi Swim Club) for it could possibly be their last chance to do it together. Both series started off their 1st season as lighthearted and comedic whereas their 2nd seasons were unexpectedly filled with drama, hope and inspiration. The two shows displayed a high school life dedicated to club work and the implications of graduating members on the club. Both series displayed the importance of leaning and growing with another as well. If you were inspired or a fan of one of these shows because of their slice of life aspect and the underlying message of achieving something big together, then I'd say give one or the other a go.

Typically follows the same format with kids embarking on an adventure to a difficult place with the goal of reuniting with one of the protagonist's love one. The protagonists in both shows experienced being underestimated and challenged before they are able to set out on their journey. Both shows exude a theme of overcoming odds and never giving up on one's dream thus delivering a feeling of inspiration and freedom. If you were captivated by the atmosphere and curiosity of exploring the vast unknown by one of these shows, then chances are you'd probably like the other. Be wary though, that Made in Abyss is darker and heavy whereas Sora Yori is lighthearted.
