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

it's kind of odd because I feel like the anime production values (especially the reaction faces and the seiyuu) are like twenty levels above the anime's writing, which is kinda eh.

honestly i get more out of the twenty billion (non-h) yuri doujin out there
 
Anyway. With all the ¥¥¥ that's coming in we might actually see some good CGI in Sunshine

apparently the movie's doing well

love live is one of those franchises i feel really weird about liking. it's quite obviously and transparently a giant marketing machine of death and earning money from otaku, but... i can't help... but enjoy it...

Embrace it. Embrace Nico

yet my post adds more to the gaming ot than just posting pictures and talking about non-game element

Oh yeah being negative all the time sure does wonders for this thread. Do everyone a favor, including yourself, and uninstall the game.

is it just me or has the servers been pretty bad lately? I get occasional connection troubles past week or 2

EN or JP? I've had problems off and on with JP, but EN has usually been pretty good. Mostly kinda early AM EST, but that lines up with primetime in Japan I think.

Yeah, 1 out of 10 the servers get stuck. 1 day til E3 could be the reason

I'm so happy, I finally got an SR from a Scouting Ticket and it was an Umi-chan! <3

Umi-chan HNNNNGH!


Guys, I've been making an imgur album with all the love live gifs that I found. Be careful! There are 94 images!! Here's the link if you want to take a look:

woops, meant EN SIF. guess it's mostly my phone then

just burned 60k FP fishing for new R. got 7 new ones and idolized them, idolized 2 I already had, and 1 more that I wasn't able to idolize. still missing 3 from this newest batch and 1 from 1st new batch and 1 more to idolize from 1st new batch but I think that went pretty well. about 25k FP left until next time. why did they have to be mostly Cool. I have huge stockpile of Pure/Smile normies but very limited Cool normies since I fed them to UR Nozomi T_T

This is cool:


Happy scouting ticket times.

Saving all my 10+1 draws on the EN side until we get the blue vouchers. Blue vouchers are gold.
I have her in the JP version but really want to go for her again... but yeah, blue vouchers. :(

The wedding dress URs really are the best ones they've done. I don't really like the other ones as much.

(I'm at 489 loveca... so close to being able to do 10 at once)

So who're folks voting for? For the Fruits Girl thing, I mean, we're all voting for Nico of course, but what about the normie death battle? I went for Emma, Rebecca, and Kanata, who has the best normie card:

Fun little tidbit about the upcoming Shin Megami Tensei x Fire Emblem /Genei Ibun Roku #FE

"GamesBeat: As a fan of the music from both companies, I’m curious about how the music is coming together. Who is handling the soundtrack?

Takata: The background music is being handled by Mr. Fujisawa. He’s famous as the composer from Love Live. But the music you heard from the first trailer, the singing, and a lot of other songs with voice in them, that’s being handled by a Japanese record company called Avex. We’ve gotten them to handle music for us. We’ve asked a famous producer who deals with a lot of Japanese artists to write the songs."

Qurex, what happened, man? You're like four hours ahead of your usual time. I swear, I'm the only person who can keep things to a regular schedule...

It's worth clarifying, however, that Yoshiaki Fujisawa's contribution to Love Live begins and mostly ends at the anime OSTs, not any of the songs proper. Not to take away from any of his work.

People just whined in the Nintendo E3 thread when Shin Megami Tensei x Fire Emblem came up.Well, I can't wait to play it. Cool that Nanjo voices the idol in the game.

It's killing me but I can't watch the PV before watching the movie

I assume you mean the song PV? It's a nice PV for the song, I can say that. It's basically what they already showed in the early PVs for the movie if you watched those. Except well longer.

They'll probably post some PVs for the other 2 singles. Not sure if I'll watch them, unless they have some more info. I watched this one to confirm the single info and if there was any other info.

Qurex, what happened, man? You're like four hours ahead of your usual time. I swear, I'm the only person who can keep things to a regular schedule...
I might be a bit busy later, and so since I had the time I posted earlier.

It's worth clarifying, however, that Yoshiaki Fujisawa's contribution to Love Live begins and mostly ends at the anime OSTs, not any of the songs proper. Not to take away from any of his work.
To expand a bit on this, I believe that Fujisawa did compose and arrange Honoka's song for the 1st ep of the 2nd season (the SchPres Song). Well if you can count that as a vocal song.

For people interested in some of the music that he's composed and or arranged music for other series.
This includes Denpa Onna, Riddle Story of Devil (Akuma no Riddle), Rail Wars, Yuru Yuri Nachuyachumi!, Uchoten-Kazoku, the 1st ED for the Blue Dragon anime, 2 character songs for Nichijou (Mio Naganohara and Yoshihisa Kawahara). Although you can find this info just by searching his name.

I knew it was Nanjolno when I first heard her sing in the trailer. Could recognize the Eli voice anywhere :p Nice to hear that the LL composer is working on this, as I quite like some of the OST. Game looks fun too, can't wait for my idoru RPG (Love Live and im@s costumes perhaps? lol)
