Three of them, actually. There's also a free-to-play rhythm game on mobile.

Eh, should there be a war, I'll not participate. Clash of opinions tends to be really long and really ugly. Plus, there'll no real establishment of the actual 'best series ever' in the end.

Well, I've only seen two of the shows in that pic, so I can't give a rating. All I could say is that we all should respect our differing opinions and appreciate the fact that there's one thing linking these different fandoms together, and that's the love for idols. I want to believe that the world is all one, after all.

(And no. While iMAS will always hold a special place in my heart, please don't take that as the side I'm taking.)

Hideyoshi:
Well, it is quite meaningless to begin a fandom "war", at least it is meaningless to me. Everyone may have a different preference, and it has generally no development on anything at all. It is good to see everyone has a preference, but it does not need to have a crash or "war" between them.

To me, it will be "IM@S > LoveLive >> Aikatsu! > Wake-Up Girls". IM@S is always the top to me, even counting all other anime or games. Lovelive is also good, but it is sad to see those girls are too similar. And the story of LL anime is somehow too common as other anime.

Just some facts, a few month ago, around November, there was a informal survey about the "war" in the Japan, and the result was as follows:
LoveLive > Wake-Up Girls > IM@S ~ Aikatsu
After the success of IM@S Movie, the popularity of IM@S was boosted up again. And it was sad that there are many negative comments about WUG. The result now is as follows:
IM@S ~ Lovelive > Aikatsu >> Wake-Up Girls

WUG T-T ... Ah well, my opinion isn't that popular I guess but I still love it >_< almost as much as im@s

Yodudes0:
I think the biggest problem with WUG right now is that there's just not a lot of content related to it. iM@S has hundreds of songs, Love Live! has several dozen, and Aikatsu! has around 30 or so. They also have various games and other merchandise, while WUG only has a show and a few songs so far, from what I know.

It's also early in WUG's "lifespan". With Aikatsu!, I loved it as soon as I watched it, but with iM@S my love built up while watching the show and over several months after it ended, and I didn't love Love Live! until more than half a year after the show finished airing.

Maybe I'll grow to like WUG more. In fact, I already like it way more than I did when I watched the movie and the first couple of episodes.
