First of all, as a long time Love Live fan (since first SIP), I am once again amazed how far has this franchise come in terms of production quality – both animation and sound. Well deserved congratulations to Sunrise and Lantis for not only keeping Love Live alive all these years but also improving it.
As for the today’s episode, I like the setting. Weird mix of magic, this characteristic pseudo-medieval generic fantasy style, and modern technology like cars, trains, train station announcers etc. seems appealing to me, and nothing really felt out of place. Not much in terms of plot to talk about as for now.
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.
Oh don’t worry, as far as I know this will be limited to only one part of the franchise, so as long as you can handle 9 main characters you will be fine. There might be some references to other generations, though you might not even notice them. Glad that you enjoyed it, means I can recommend it to my friends who are not into LL.

It’s called urban fantasy.
Thanks, never heard that term.
