Love Live! School Idol Festival |OT2| Despair comes in a pink envelope

my heart
It's a book called History of LoveLive and has all articles published in the Dengeki G's Magazine from the announcement of the project up to the first season of the anime
I've posted their first introduction article before (link) and have been meaning to post more stuff just not sure exactly what
Oh wow, this is actually a real thing? I was just kidding around since you'd seemed to find the info super fast; didn't think something actually existed that was almost the exact same as what I described.
And damn, you weren't kidding, those initial characterizations are super cringeworthy. The anime was a godsend for all of them. That's also why I'm not terribly interested in any detailed characterization for any of the Sunshine girls until (and if) they get a definite story of their own.
Uchiura Idol Club.
Top of page pic time. Now I'll cater to CoinArt
Yes.
Mari (Aina Suzuki) and Hanamaru (Kanako Takatsuki)!
Ruby (Ai Furihata) too, I guess.
And here's the (maybe?) colour-coded seiyuu, most are new to anime, if that's what Sunshine is gonna be:
Anju Inami, Rikako Aida, Nanaka Suwa
Arisa Komiya, Shuka Saito, Aika Kobayashi
Kanako Takatsuki, Aina Suzuki, Ai Furihata
Names to faces:
From left: Ruby, Diamond, Hanamaru, Riko, Chika, Kanan, You, Mari, and Yoshiko
...
Ruby Kurosawa (Ai Furihita), Daiya/Daimond Kurosawa (Arisa Komiya), Hanamaru Kunikida (Kanako Takatsuki), Riko Sakurauchi (Rikako Aida), Chika Takami (Anju Inami), Kanan Matsuura (Nanaka Suwa), You Watanabe (Shuka Saito), Mari Ohara (Aina Suzuki), Yoshiko Tsushima (Aika Kobayashi).
Best
Yeah, it's the ultimate user-participation project, they never gave a direct choice on the girls personalities but fans probably influenced in other ways. I'll post more of the book later
They look like real idols. Looking forward for the photobooks and calendars but more importantly let's see if they are actually as charismatic as the LL cast
I honestly don't think an anime is in the cards for Sunshine for at least the next couple years, if ever. Of course, things have changed a lot since the slower rollout of the original Love Live -- Sunshine has the benefit of a massively popular franchise to start from, after all -- and I have no idea what Dengeki/Lantis/Sunrise's long-term plans are for handling both μ’s and Sunshine after the movie.
Of course, like most non-Japanese fans I really only have exposure to the anime and beyond for how LL progressed; everything else about how it built itself and developed is in fek's big book of knowledge that none of the rest of us will ever have access to.

Idols are supposed to inspire others though!
Also Anju Inami voices the black Tokyo 7th sister.
There was publicity stuff like with Kaiji S2 that probably brought some attention to LL outside of Japan, but I'd especially like to think the animated song PVs since 2010 did it, there's been like 6 and they're interesting at least. I've seen pre-anime stuff translated floating around other corners of the Internet but would not mind fek translating some more!

This is pretty cool:

God, can you imagine the tortured 8-bit "BUSHIMO"? It'd probably be something like old pokemon calls.
Was too busy to remember to post this yesterday but here's a site with scans of the other Sunshine characters and such.
Yoshiko ''Johannes the Devil'' Tsushima, you know what it is...

Always 4x. Only way to keep your sanity in check.
It would be pretty awesome if their anime took place after the events of Love Live!. Basically, all of the idols that came after μ would be held up to their standard, and part of the dilemma with the new group would be stepping out of μ's shadow and finding their own niche (lol)
On the other hand, it could also be interesting if μ were their rivals. We'd getting the perspective of their opponents instead (ala Saki) and how ridiculously powerful μ is from the outside.
Again, I hesitate to discuss much on the "story" elements of Sunshine such as they are since, well, the project is just beginning, any possible anime is ages away, and even the setting has barely been established so far, but I'd rather that μ’s remain largely a non-factor, mostly as just an outside existence that the Sunshine girls are fans of, or something like that. Kind of like how at first I'd wanted the 765 girls to cameo somehow in the Idolmaster Cinderella Girls anime but now I'm fine with them just appearing on posters in the background and stuff.
Plus, I actually like Kodoku no Heaven, both as a song and the note chart.
But... all that exp...

Can μ's be considered powerful when their impact to the rest of the world is winning Love Live and then disbanding?
Or is there a future storyline where the government threatens criminals with having to listen to Nico sing to encourage people to stay out of prison?

I'm in the same situation, are you going to max bond them again?
They do look better wearing socks
Yeah, it's way too soon to expect an anime and such, but there's no harm in talking about hypothetical scenarios, right? Going back into what I said earlier, making μ's a major factor in the sunshine universe is definitely a bad idea, but on the other hand... making them into a non-factor seems like the wrong way of going about it too. Put simply, μ's is huge, and sunshine will inevitably compared to them. ,I think it would be a very disingenuous if the anime pretended they didn't exist. On the other hand, there's a way of using them without overshadowing the original cast. It'll definitely be tricky, regardless of what they do.
Yes, absolutely. You're actually off base, since they haven't disbanded yet (and there's still the movie to consider.) but that aside...You're definitely downplaying the effect of winning the Love Live! (which basically catapulted A-RISE's career when they won). Considering how popular and successful μ's was in-universe, I could definitely see μ's being dominant even several years down the line. In the realm of school idols, they're pretty much legends.
Nico is very powerful.
I think part of the issue there is that the anime focused more on the personal stories of the girls (which was fine) at the expense of somewhat trivializing the whole BEST IDOLS IN THE NATION aspect of what it meant to actually win LL at the end. Nothing really seemed different for them after they won, to the point of jumping right from their performance at the end of one episode to an after-the-fact victory reveal in the next (granted, there was only one episode left, and I doubt any of the viewers thought they wouldn't win, but still). Maybe the movie will help add context to that.
Looks like peeps have identified some NYC locations from the movie trailer
So there's regional qualifiers going on for the first Japan-wide SIF tournament, or something.

And, well, this is what you get when a bunch of people show up in one place to play the game together:

edit: ah, just saw on the second tab of the tournament page, there's all the rules. The song for the tournament is Sore wa Bokutachi no Kiseki, and they provide the device, headphones, and built-in team for everyone to use, naturally, to keep it fair:
Guess they are all "Heart Recovery" cards? Or else it wouldn't be fair to get score boosts or perfect makers. Did they all buy the cards themself i wonder
There is no way i will get those pre defined cards.Checking the wiki, they're actually split evenly between three each for score, timing, and health skills. I guess adding a little random variance like that is the only way to prevent perfect players from tying every time with full perfect combos. And seeing as it's Bushiroad themselves running this thing, I'm sure they just set up dummy accounts on the iPods being used that had the competition team enabled.Guess they are all "Heart Recovery" cards? Or else it wouldn't be fair to get score boosts or perfect makers. Did they all buy the cards themself i wonder
Well hope its going to work then. Because its usually like a 36 or 38% chance of a skill popping off right? Maybe people can win by a Full Combo but had more luck with score skills seems a bit unfair. But even the idea of having a sif contest is pretty cool. If i was better at the game i would have joined in.

Seems to be a parody of some other image, though I don't know what.
So, who's your favorite trio between the 1st/2nd/3rd years?
An incredibly simple visual gag, yet it works so well.

Fuck this game.
Also, don't try to burn 1500 tokens in one night. You'll just get fatigued and frustrated and make no improvement.

ironic considering Mewtwo was released for Smash 4 today =P
