Love Live! (ラブライブ！) is an absolute masterpiece of a series. The masters of otaku anime, Sunrise, makers of Gintama and this very series Love Live!, have truly perfected the formula of making an anime that fits the needs of an otaku, perfectly, to every last inch with no pieces missing. The characters, the things that are said (I know Japanese and watched this series without subtitles), the OST, the art, everything combines to together to make one solid anime. For the uninitiated, Love Live! is made as a 完全男性向けアニメ (Anime made entirely for males). There is no ecchi but there is also 0 male characters. ...

Even though I say all this, and even though Love Live! is OBVIOUSLY in a league of its own, haters are gonna hate, though.

"What about the story bro?!"

"Love Live! ain't got story!"

Who cares. Anime that you don't need to use your head or think to enjoy it is very important. This anime doesn't *need* a story. It is made for maximum rewatchability. The point is, you forget the "plot" that the anime brings forth. And you are infinitely rewatch the show to your heart's content. There are VERY FEW anime that provide this level of watchability, and VERY FEW anime where you can mindlessly watch it and think its the best thing in the world.

奇跡だ！奇跡を起こしたんだ…私たちは。This very show is a 奇跡。A line repeated over and over again. 奇跡。輝きたい。These very lines describe the anime very well. 奇跡だよ！

The epitome of bad writing and cliche. this movie is everything i hate about anime. The characters are unlikeable, filled to the brim with (bad) cliches. I like cliches, when theyre done right but not when they arent interesting, arent funny, and are not ENTERTAINING.... (anime writer: woah! entertainment? but thats the last thing that i, an anime writer thinks about when i write a screenplay.... )
Ive never before rolled my eyes or facepalmed watching something so much until i watched this anime. It also has a hint of pseudointelligence that i despise so much in japanese media. I know Japanese and i watch ... everything with jp audio and no subs, and i can say with utmost confidence that the dialog and voice acting is appalling and painful to listen to.
If you are braindead, and are obsessed with anything japanese, then i recommend this, i also recommend everything else on this website if you liked this movie.
if you watch things for entertainment, then i recommend you stay away from this movie at all costs, as if you watched crappy anime #238943 and #1261 or anything similar before then you have already seen this movie.
