''Love Live!'' is a series about a group of girls trying to save their school from closing down by forming an idol group in hopes of attracting new students. Unfortunately, the road to that success is not easy, and there are many tear-ridden mishaps along the way.

* Episode 3; After spending countless hours training for their first concert, even spending half the episode passing out flyers for the event, Honoka, Umi, and Kotori [[spoiler: are greeted to an empty auditorium room. Even [[GenkiGirl Honoka]] is in tears, feeling that all their efforts were wasted]]. Luckily, it [[CrowningMomentofAwesome turned out alright]].
* Nico's backstory, and why she's so critical of the group. She's always wanted to be an idol, and even formed a group with some other students in her first year, but everyone else quit, leaving her alone. No wonder she's so harsh on them, since they're gathering members, fans, and going from strength to strength. After she joins the group, she gives them orders during practice, and then tears up as she watches them begin to work.
* Throughout the first seven episodes, Eli is exceptionally antagonistic to μ's, moreso than any other character. Whereas Nico is [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold critical of the group's performances and efforts but, as a fellow aspiring idol herself, wants them to improve]], Eli wants μ's to straight up ''quit.'' It's pretty disheartening watching her consciously try to crush the hopes and dreams of a group of girls who just want to save their school from closing down in a way that brings joy and entertainment to others. Though we soon learn that her resentment of idols comes from a failed ballerina career (a Tear Jerker in and of itself) and she later warms up to and joins the group.

The result: [[spoiler:She wakes up on the day of the festival late, barely able to walk to the other side of her bedroom, and arrives late at school. She manages a HeroicSecondWind long enough to perform with everyone...but right at the end of their first song, she '''[[HeroicRROD collapses]]''' on stage to the horror of the rest of the group and the audience.]]
* Episodes 12 and the first part of 13 are littered with them. The drama in both of these episodes is rather high, and is in stark contrast to the earlier episodes where the mood was relatively cheerful and upbeat.
* Episode 11 of the second season. [[spoiler: Holy shit, the scene where the first and second graders announcing that μ's will retire after Love Live. HOLY SHIT.]]
* Episode 13 of season 2 has it's share of emotions as well as Eli, Nico, and Nozomi graduate and get ready to move on with their lives. At least until Hanayo gets a [[SequelHook text message...]]
* Some of the lyrics to the songs are this, or at least a Fridge Tearjerker. Loveless World and Mermaid Festa vol. 1 are two good examples.

* Episode 3; After spending countless hours training for their first concert, even spending half the episode passing out flyers for the event, Honoka, Umi, and Kotori [[spoiler: are greeted to an empty auditorium room. Even [[GenkiGirl Honoka]] is in tears, feeling that all their efforts were wasted]]. Luckily, it [[CrowningMomentofAwesome turned out alright]].
* Nico's backstory, and why she's so critical of the group. She's always wanted to be an idol, and even formed a group with some other students in her first year, but everyone else quit, leaving her alone. No wonder she's so harsh on them, since they're gathering members, fans, and going from strength to strength. After she joins the group, she gives them orders during practice, and then tears up as she watches them begin to work.
* Throughout the first seven episodes, Eli is exceptionally antagonistic to μ's, moreso than any other character. Whereas Nico is [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold critical of the group's performances and efforts but, as a fellow aspiring idol herself, wants them to improve]], Eli wants μ's to straight up ''quit.'' It's pretty disheartening watching her consciously try to crush the hopes and dreams of a group of girls who just want to save their school from closing down in a way that brings joy and entertainment to others. Though we soon learn that her resentment of idols comes from a failed ballerina career (a Tear Jerker in and of itself) and she later warms up to and joins the group.
* Episode 11. Everyone makes it a point that Honoka is overexerting herself and getting ''way'' too serious with her training, but she ignores them, believing that she has to work her absolute hardest for the culture festival. The result: [[spoiler:She wakes up on the day of the festival late, barely able to walk to the other side of her bedroom, and arrives late at school. She manages a HeroicSecondWind long enough to perform with everyone...but right at the end of their first song, she '''[[HeroicRROD collapses]]''' on stage to the horror of the rest of the group and the audience.]]
