Takami Chika Looking at μ's on the big screen
The much awaited anime of this
season, Love Live! Sunshine!! has just arrived and I finally watched the first
episode. It is exciting for me to watch
this even though I still feel bad about μ's retirement last april. But lately,
I realize that there is no reason for me to get mad about this show. Well, 6
years of μ's is long enough for them to shine and it is just right to give a chance
to another generation of seiyuu’s out there. So I rather call this a chance to
start another chapter of Love Live experience for everyone. Here are my first
impression of the first episode of Love Live! Sunshine!!
But first, I got to warn you guys
that this article may contain major spoilers for those who haven’t seen the first
episode yet. I don’t wanna ruin the show for you so I advise to watch it first.
As expected, it feels the same as
the previous one. The comedy, the characters the entire production feels the
same. I’m bursting with excitement watching this and thought to myself that
this is the feeling that I have missed by ignoring the Last Love Live Anime.
The first episode doesn’t focus too
much character introductions which is a good thing. Getting on to the story in
fast phased while showing all the characters is the best way to start a show
nowadays.
The main character, Takami Chika
has the same personality as Honoka Kousaka and the seiyuu really did a great
job of portraying her. She’s so funny and a lovable character. I really like
this scene when she saw μ's at the big screen. Which is a terrific way to show
us how badly she want to have School Idol Club on their School.
Now I
understand why You Watanabe is so popular with the fans. She’s one of Chika’s
closest friend and the second member of Aqours in the story. And also the Seiyuu
which is Shuka Saito is quite pretty and funny too.I like how they make a focus on the
two characters like You and Chika on the first episode. That really prevents
confusion while presenting all of the characters to the viewers.
A show with a
large number of characters like this one can’t introduce them all in just one
episode. So it is effective to make the viewer’s focus on one to two characters
first and mind the rest on another episode. I experienced watching an anime
that keeps throwing characters in my face ineffectively. Which is so annoying
and makes me later on dropped the show.
The only thing I really don’t like
is the voice acting of Tsushima Yoshiko. She is my favorite character but her
voice didn’t matched the characters’ lips on this scene. I wish later on the
voice performance will get better on the next few episodes. I mean I don’t
blame Aika Kobayashi for this because I know that this is her debut in voice
acting.
The animation is above average.
Sunrise really know how to make a good animation for a title this big. Another good thing I’ve noticed is
that the 3D dancing scene is much better this time. It’s not so blindingly
bright anymore and it is pretty close to the 2D drawing now. Maybe the
animation team of Sunrise wanted to do it much better this time. We all know
that Sunrise has been doing shoujo anime like this lately like Aikatsu and the
previous Live Live.
I just
want to invite everyone to watch Love Live Sunshine. It’s a great anime in my
opinion. So if you don’t want to get left behind I suggest to go see it right
now.
Thanks for reading this article. Please leave a comment bellow on what you think of this first episode. You may also suggest on an anime you want me to review on this blog and on my youtube channel.
