So its been a while since my last review. This show is very dear to me for one I obviously like the Love Live franchise a lot but it also has shown me one thing: True dreams cannot be stopped. Story: At first sight yeah this doesnt seem too special. To me personally its a lot more than that though. Everything starts off with our protagonist Kanon who attends the newly opened Yuigaoka High School. She makes a faithful encounter on her way to school with a girl known as Keke. Keke witnessed Kanon singing in the streets and fell in love with her voice which leads to her proposal: She wants to be school idol with Kanon. Kanon who wasnt able to sing on stage ever since she was in primary school doesnt like that idea and tries to dodge Keke. Eventually Keke manages to catch Kanon and they meet the next important person Student Council Ren Hazuki. She opposed the idea of school idols and wants to stop Keke. Kanon who doesnt want to be an school idol herself but didnt like how Ren treats Keke confronts Ren until she is being asked one question: And what about you? Do you want to be a school idol?. Kanon is not being able to respond so Ren leaves and Kanon and Keke go to Kanons place where Kanon tells Keke why she doesnt want to be a school idol. She promises to help Keke to recruit members though. Unfortunately they are having no success with it and so Keke tries to ask Kanon a last time to be a school idol with her. Kanon refuses but Keke doesnt leave it like that and tells her she would be supporting her with everything she has. Kanon is about to leave but eventually turns back and wants to give it a shot. And so everything is starting. They recruit new members such as Sumire and Chisato and even make Ren join the group. I could talk about every episode here but I dont think this is necessary and I dont really have the words to describe the experience. https://i.ur.com/SCc6qX5.png Characters: Kanon: What I love about Kanon is how normal and special she is at the same time. She is a lot less energetic than Honoka and Chika but is charismatic in her own way. Her major strength is her singing which is described as amazing. The choice of the voice actress here is perfect as wow what a voice Sayuri Date has. Kanon manages to be engaging in her own special way and that is incredible. Keke: Keke is your runofthemill idol fan is what you would think but its more than that. She manages to have an shining presence with her passion for idols. She also manages to find the right words in the right situation. Her interaction with Sumire is hilarious to watch too Chisato: Who could be a better friend than Chisato. She wants to help Kanon no matter what and that is really admirable. She even goes to the point where she refuses to be a school idol because that would only show her weakness. That is a pretty human issue. If you always have to rely on one person then well you would probably feel frustrated too. She eventually manages to realize that she has her own strength and supports Kanon even more as a school idol. Sumire: Oh Sumire where should I begin. I will try to keep short here. On the outside she might be your standard girl that longs for popularity but ohoho thats not true at all. Being in touch with the world of show business early on Sumire only has one dream: To shine to be in the center. Unfortunately she never manages to achieve this and gets relegated to be a background character. She still keeps going to long for her dream and thats where school idols come in place. The world of school idols give Sumire the stage she has longed for to achieve her goals and dreams alongside friends and comrades. Sumire is having issues at the start but eventually manages to find her very own radiance. Ren: Finally we get to Ren. Ren is a very hardworking and determined girl. She only wants the best for the school and its students and clashes with the school idols more than often. But plottwist Ren actually wanted to be a school idol herself to save the school from closing because of missing funds. She held off that idea after she notices that the one thing her deceased mother didnt leave was literally everything about her time as a school idol so Ren figures she regretted being one as they didnt manage to save their school. Kanon shows Ren that school idols were her most treasured memories and so Ren has no reason to not join the party. https://i.ur.com/8VPDNfU.png Visuals: There is not a lot to say about the visuals. Everything is stellar and bright. The 3d models that are being used for performances are better than ever and the sceneries are beautiful. But one thing I really liked were the expressions. This show really managed to make the characters lively by giving them unique face expressions and I loved it. https://i.ur.com/7TQdjAs.png Music: Just like in other installments of this franchise the music is on point. Opening Ending and Inserts are beautiful and accompany the show in a great way. We are having a lot of variety within the insert songs here too. For example Wish Song is a ballad that uses very soft instrumentals but is being followed by Nonfiction which goes very hard. I like that as it makes every song very special. https://i.ur.com/PpIXfE8.png Conclusion: This show had a lot of things going for me. While it might not be for everyone since idols are pretty niche I would still recommend to check this out as it really is a great show. https://i.ur.com/iQcqyNp.png
