Ever since I was introduced to anime in my freshman year of high school, I never had such a stronger connection to anything else. Throughout the years I've been only really into school life, slice of life, drama, or romance animes, getting super caught up in a series and then downloading all of the opening/ending songs to remember the anime down the road. I'd come across Love Live! School Idol Project a few times on Crunchyroll but not ever give it a try since I've never watched a music anime and because I didn't think I'd particularly enjoy it. Keep in mind, I'm a 17 year old guy who basically lives for anime and video games, pretty much a giant otaku. Then came the summer at the end of my junior year, I gave Love Live! a try. Immediately after the first episode, my heart had some strong connection to the show and I think I fell in love with Kotori almost instantly. Normally with another anime, I'd watch one to two episodes a day and space out the series so that I don't binge on something and completely forget about my high school or social life. With Love Live!, I ended up finished both seasons within a week, ordering two Kotori figurines, a Kotori Nendoroid, a mousepad with custom Kotori art on it, µ's wallscrolls for my room, Bushiroad trading cards, a Kotori dakimakura, two hoodies that were µ's custom made, and I think I have more µ's pictures on my phone/computer than normal. µ's have truly changed my life by simply existing, I'm so glad I decided to watch Love Live! If I'm having a bad day, I can just put on some µ's and immediately I feel at ease hearing their cute voices, especially with Snow Halation, something about that song is truly magical and really gives me goosebumps everytime I hear it. Watching Love Live! not only changed my life, but they also introduced me to someone who has the same views on the show, that I met during a car ride to a local anime convention. My childhood friends aren't into anime as much as I am, but this guy and I hit it off pretty well with anime in general and mainly talk about how much we love  µ's. Though, w hen I read that µ's was going to have their final concert in March, I started to cry. I don't really ever cry about much but seeing that my favorite thing in the universe was going to end broke my heart. I would do anything to see them perform live, it would truly accomplish my dream. I want to meet all of the voice actors and thank them for having such great performances and making so many people happy, and the team behind the anime for coming up with something that has made me smile everytime I see it. I will still continue to play School Idol Festival as long as it exists, wasting more money on loveca than I need to. Forever live on  µ's, I will continue to watch your performances in the past and I look forward to ordering your final performance on Blu-Ray. Keep making people smile while you forever live on in my heart, truly getting me obsessed with something that I have made apart of my everyday life. I love you  µ's, be proud of what you've done, I will never forget you for as long as I exist, and finally, thank you for all that you have done.
