Why It Rocks

 * 2) Catchy songs, like Snow Halation, nominated as the best anime songs in all time.
 * 3) Nine likeable school idols with unique traits.
 * 4) Nico's siblings and her mother are very cute, while Ayase and Honoka's younger sisters are also adorable and interesting characters.
 * 5) It spawned internet memes like, "Nico Nico Ni!", Umi Sonoda's "Love Arrow Shoot!" and the poker face scene in the second season, etc.
 * 6) It has two spin-offs, called LoveLive! Sunshine!! and LoveLive! Superstar!!.
 * 7) Top-notch animation, especially for the sing and dance scenes.
 * 8) Tearful moments such as the first live with only one audience (who later become their teamate), the moment that Hanayo decided to join their squad, and the graduation scene.
 * 9) There's a film version, talking about their story afterwards,also introducing a mystrious Japanese singer resembles Honoka.
 * 10) By all means, it had become one of the most successful Japanese anime franchises,as the live activites also goes well.
 * 11) Its success inspired BanG Dream!, Renue Starlight, and other successful anime franchises.

Bad Qualities

 * 1) Repeative facial design, though not only the series is troubled with this problem.
 * 2) Eli Ayase might not be a likeable antagonist at first,while her background information turned out to be insufficient then. Honoka also performed incapable sometimes,though she's the leader of them.
 * 3) Sometimes the characters could be mean-spirited toward Nico, for denying her ideas instantly (though being stupid and nonsense) and ignoring her.
 * 4) The show following the ordinary "school abolishment" plot kind of rips off K-On! in a sense, and makes this mediocre in comparison depending on who you ask.
 * 5) LoveLive! Sunshine!'s storyline and partial character designs ripped the original too much, making some fans leave, some even became haters toward it in the early days.
 * 6) A-RISE,the main opponent team in the story, only had two songs and just one stage outfit by contrary.
 * 7) *Even the upcoming antagonist, Saint Snow, had their own Live show, full album and Arcade Game appearance, while A-RISE did not had the opportunity to have any of them.
 * 8) In one of the episodes, there is a scene in which Nico Yazawa lets her hair down, which can concern sensitive viewers.
