    The single best show in the universe

    This was truly an amazing anime that i had not seen coming. After a year of just going nuts over Aqours music I finally found where i could watch it for free and it truly touched my heart and on some episodes tears fell down my face and i had never had an experience quite like this before. I never knew the struggles and stress of starting a school idol club to save your school. This has been truly amazing, I definitely recommend this to any love live fan out there

    Watched sunshine first

    Couldn't find SIP anywhere besides Amazon so I watched sunshine first on funimation. I really enjoy sunshine more honestly, but both shows are really well done.

    The second Love Live! show

    Even though this was not a great as the first one i still enjoyed it! The Mijuku Dreamer, Dia-chan and Awaken the Power episodes are especially great imo ^_^

    Amazing, deep, and Unique

    Love Live! Sunshine!! Is a sequel to SIP which is, based of the wannabe "school idols" of Uranoshi High following a similar plot to SIP. Love Live! Sunhine!! is a beautiful anime with great voicing of characters, outstanding soundtrack it is also very emotional, and additionally engaging with many important charcters, I really honestly enjoyed the Anime and in waiting for the movie, lol.

    Amazing follow-up to the first Love Live!

    In my opinion, the first Love Live is definitely better. Does that mean this one was bad? Not at all. Love Live! Sunshine!! Is a great show, and I really enjoyed watching it.

    It has a very summery vibe to it as well, since the school is located near a beach and all that, which I really like as I love summer lol

    Again, some great songs. I love Aozora Jumping Heart.

    Characters are cute and all likeable. My favourites are Ruby and Yoshiko!!

    Like its predecessor, Love Live! Sunshine!! Got 2 seasons and 1 movie. All of it was amazing and it was worth all of my time.

    If you liked Love Live, you'll definitely like Sunshine too.
