Wtf is that picture? Is that supposed to be some normie?

Love Live! Sunshine!! [ラブライブ! サンシャイン!!] - a new project that was revealed today (26th Feb) on the Dengeki G's website.
There will be an article published about this in the April issue of Dengeki G's Magazine which goes on sale on Saturday, 28th February.

http://gs.dengeki.com/news/21346/

--------------------------------

Meant to post some of this a while ago, just didn't get round to it.

So my tickets from the last event got me a SR in the JP version.

I got this Honoka figure a few weeks ago.

I also got the February 2015 issue of Dengeki G's Magazine, it had some stuff about Love Live in it. It came with that stationary set. Got a copy of Dengeki G's Magazine September 2014 as well which came with "Love Live!" Illustrations - School Life. It had some artwork which I don't I've seen before.
Might post some pics later on the LINE chat.

Bonus, I got this recently as well. I'm pretty sure some other people here play the game that's related to this.

The more I see that rice-hugging shrine maiden the more I want merch of her but don't ask me if I know what the point of a maki-e seal is.

The stuff of nightmares.

Oh, final score for the current EN event: 26,635. That should be enough for the Top 2500. Maybe. It can sometimes be difficult to tell.

I'm really liking the higher ranking limit, though. It's much less stressful going for that second SR.

I estimate cutoff to be ~24,200. even back in Umi event where the scores were going up at insane pace, the final increase was only ~1000. right now, 23,461

Maturity, bitches.
So it seems the hashtag for the Sunshine shops is #ラブライブサンシャインクソコラグランプリ. Google translate informs me this means "Love Live Sunshine fucking Kola Grand Prix". Right…

Himemiya, will you be joining in on the despair after this event? Hanayo UR ;D

The despair is palpable...

10 pulls, 2 being 10+1s so I guess 30 pulls really, and I got arsenic poisoning or whatever not gonna make a cancer joke because this isn't 4chan.
Give me an SR of a character who's event I skipped ok thanks RNG-esus shit fuck.

Congrats, cherish your beautiful spring-time rice! ;_;
 

GoXDS

congrats GoXDS
is that your first UR?


thnx ^^ this is my 2nd UR. in the team I'm weakest in, too. that Umi was a R->SR effect, too so was surprised to see her. now I finally have a full SR Smile team. my first 10+1 pull ever was a Kotori Initial

Qurex, I'm curious, what game is that last image related to?

What Himemiya said, the game is Tokyo 7th Sisters. It's another mobile rhythm idol game. It's out on both iOS and Android, it's in Japanese.
It has idol battles as well as rhythm game with songs, so I guess it's Love Live x Idolmaster Cinderella Girls in terms of gameplay. Although I've never played Cinderella Girls so I have no idea if that's a good comparison.


Thanks for the link, will watch this in a bit.

i ranked relatively high i guess
i got up to the 1x scout ticket rank for total points and song ranking (1144th or something)

anyways,
i pulled... 2 rare rice
why, why dont they just have 5 love gems instead of scouting tickets

i plan on not trying anymore for the next event
going to play up to the free SR and gimp my formation so i get 3 love gems on total and song

this way, i'll save a ton of time and effort and less rage

i'm up 34 love gems since that new years 10+1
i dont think i'll get 50 gems by end of march

i think it's getting to a point right now, the rewards i feel are really diminishing for the effort

5 Gems > 1 Scouting ticket always (50 Gems > 10 Scouting tickets). thus too much

someone also argued for 3 gems vs 1 Scouting ticket. in this case, it's 51 Gems vs 17 Tickets. when is 51 (basically 50) Gems better than 17 Scouting tickets? when you get more in 11 than in 17. that's ~29% chance (annoying math). equal? also ~29%. and 42% chance 17 Tickets > 50 Gems. later on, 17 Tickets also means more Vouchers (1.7x more).

also more simply, expected returns is 1.7 SR/UR for 17 Tickets vs 1.1 for 50 Gems

Too bad there is no practice mode in this game. I am way to scared to try expert songs and my currently unlocked songs are too easy on hard.

Edit: At least I managed to beat Soldier Game on hard for the first time just now.

If you want to get into EX songs but are worried about the difficulty curve, I would recommend building a Team of Healer Cards and trying the songs out. My first time playing them, I wasn't able to do anything beyond passing (and I probably failed a few times prior), but now that I've been playing them for a few months, I can usually A/S Combo them my first try. I would figure it's the same for everyone else, so don't be afraid to break out of your bubble! If Hard is easy for you anyway, EX shouldn't be that difficult, I imagine.

Maturity, bitches.
Good thing I got a few healers that are not pure now so I can also get a semi decent score while not worrying about my life bar. Haven't used my old dedicated heal team for a while as a result.

hmm... now that I think about it, why release UR Umi Feb 28. wouldn't it be more appropriate for March 15? considering it's her birthday and all. it's a really nice card though x_x
