Never Giving Up! · review
Just like what General Grievous says that one time in that relatively well-known movie released back in 2005 by Lucasfilm (and multiple times in the animated show); this will make a fine addition to my collection. "Never Giving Up!" is the 14th, and latest, instalment of the ever-growing Love Live! music collection that was released on the Love Live! YouTube channel, and added here on MAL. This song was featured on Chika Takami's first solo album "One More Sunshine Story". The song is quite nice, as it gives that upbeat jazz feeling, very similar to "Jump Up, Super Star!" from Super Mario Odyssey. If you don'tmind the high pitch vocals that match the chibi character design of Chika, then you'll probably enjoy this.
The artwork isn't all that impressive and neither is the animation, probably best to describe it as "simple". The video mostly consists of Chika just skipping all happily as the song plays, including some shots of her twirling around whilst scenes of out-of-focus neon city lights and shop fronts scroll by in the background. The whole video was created to reflect the cuteness of the singer's voice.
Overall, this is a decent song, though there's isn't anything to be impress in terms of visuals, which lower the score slightly.
6/10.
