Love Live and Idolm@ster are arguably the two top “heavyweight” series in the idol genre, and it’s easy to see why both of them are regarded so highly in the genre. However, comparing Love Live and Idolm@ster is like comparing apples and oranges — both of them have completely different elements that turned them into extremely successful franchises in their own rights. Despite that, this almost impossible task is exactly what I attempted in this guest post of mine I written for Chikorita157’s Anime Blog. Feel free to give it a read if you are interested.
