*Anyway, I wonder how it will be received by viewers who are not part of Love Live fandom. * It's me. I've never engaged with Love Live at all, and was unaware that this show was affiliated. I saw a new show on CR, so I gave it a shot. I really enjoyed it thinking it was a standalone show. I'm not normally one for idol shows, so knowing now that it's part of a huge franchise, I wonder if things will stay small/localized. Definitely saw enough to keep watching though.
