Over the past few days, I've been watching Shiny Knees Music Idol Show number one. The story in Love Live was unusually paced. It felt like it moved way too fast. Issues were brought up and then resolved really quickly. Sunshine felt much better paced. That said, Love Live felt much more lighthearted than Sunshine as a result. I definitely liked the characters more too. They had more distinct personalities, and I didn't dislike any of them. I think Umi is my favorite, since she's basically a carbon-copy of Mio from K-On (she even writes the lyrics). The movie felt better paced than the two seasons at least, so I liked it, plus there felt like there was more good comedy moments. All that's left now is the Sunshine movie, though who knows how long that'll be.
