[Love Live!] It’s been going on for over 10 years, but there aren’t even 100 people yet.

Otaku Review Image

Akituraiinu! I’m not in a hurry right now! Renjo Academy School Idol Club Liella Nijigasaki Academy School Idol Club Love Live! School Idol Project Sunshine!! Aqours Love Live! School Idol Project μ’s SUNSHINE in MIRROR SCHOOL IDOL MUSICAL School Idol Musical

1: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/09(Mon)12:24Yeahx1

I don’t know the top one…

2: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/09(Mon)12:25Yeahx5

>>1Ikidzu Live-chan is a brand new Love Live.

23: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/09(Mon)12:58

>>2Is it hard to live…?
I thought, is that title really okay for “hard to breathe”?

3: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/09(Mon)12:28Yeahx3

It’s probably something like “Bocchi the Rock!”

4: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/09(Mon)12:30Yeahx21

>>3?

5: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/09(Mon)12:32

The number has increased only recently, so we had a relatively long period of operating with a select few elite members.

6: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/09(Mon)12:32

Can I count John separately?

7: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/09(Mon)12:33Yeahx2

I feel like it would have been better to have a generational transition style rather than having multiple Love Live groups progressing simultaneously.

9: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/09(Mon)12:37

>>7Is it becoming a competition for market share?

11: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/09(Mon)12:39Yeahx1

>>7There are hardly any IPs that actually do such things, to be honest.

14: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/09(Mon)12:41

>>11I can only think of something like Nichiasa.

15: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/09(Mon)12:43Yeahx2

>>14That Sunday morning show is also doing crossover events and all-star features, commonly known as the legend marketing strategy, quite aggressively.
It’s impossible for fans captured by Title A to completely switch over to Title B just like that.

35: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/09(Mon)13:24

>>15What I realized deeply during the μ’s→Aqours era is that, regardless of whether people are currently into it or not, the existence of the series being accepted is a miracle.

13: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/09(Mon)12:41Yeahx1

>>7I think generational changes in character-based franchises are really difficult because everyone has an emotional attachment to the characters themselves, not just the series.

8: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/09(Mon)12:36Yeahx2

Dividing things up little by little may be the secret to longevity.

10: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/09(Mon)12:38

I only knew the name of the hard-to-approach department through the internet, but it’s the Love Live project…

12: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/09(Mon)12:40

So, would it have been better if Aqours had ended five years ago, or if Liella! hadn’t started until this year? Which is it?

16: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/09(Mon)12:44

The seniors are still super strong.

17: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/09(Mon)12:47Yeahx4

The first Love Live was good, but it’s complicated for fans with this kind of selling approach when it’s a different thing with the same title and the original members don’t appear…

20: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/09(Mon)12:48Yeahx3

>>17Those kinds of people either have all died or are now pretending not to know while supporting their juniors.

21: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/09(Mon)12:51Yeahx8

>>17People like that probably graduated without following the series.

19: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/09(Mon)12:48Yeahx1

Sunday morning shows are definitely seeing a generational shift in their main viewer demographic…

27: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/09(Mon)13:08

>>19The 1 Series definitely ends or changes every year, which is quite significant (there have been exceptions in the past).
A style that certainly encourages generational change.

22: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/09(Mon)12:52

It gives the impression that after μ’s → Aqours, a certain selection has been made, and then with Aqours → Liella, even more dedicated people are left.
It seems that Nijigasaki is coming from voice actors and the Pretty series, so I’m not really sure.

36: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/09(Mon)13:25

>>22There’s only one person, isn’t there?!

48: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/09(Mon)13:33

>>22It’s a stereotype, but musicals give off the impression of having a lot of idol fans.
I saw some Love Live fans become underground idol enthusiasts since then.

52: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/09(Mon)13:35

>>48There are many active idols performing, yeah.
There were groups like AKB, Tokisen, and Ebichu, but were there any underground idols…? As for idol fans, isn’t it originally like that for underground idol fans…?

53: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/09(Mon)13:36

>>52Maybe you’re confusing Toki-sen with Ebichu.

24: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/09(Mon)13:02

While it will have parallel development crossover, it will not be a direct sequel.
Once the series starts rolling, it usually goes pretty well.
It also serves as risk avoidance when trying out direction.

25: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/09(Mon)13:04

In long-running series, the first installment often tends to be deified, but how does Love Live fare?

38: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/09(Mon)13:26

>>25Although it has been deified, they come casually now and it’s not as much as it used to be.

39: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/09(Mon)13:27

>>38The full members will be gathered.
It would be terrible if something like that happened, right?

26: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/09(Mon)13:06

The unexpected Anigasaki and the impact of COVID-19 must be significant, but…
Until then, I’ve been repeating the cycle of doing a TV anime, making a movie, then scaling down before starting the next title, so there isn’t really a sense of simultaneous development to that extent.

28: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/09(Mon)13:11

>>26Whether you see μ’s, Aqours, and Liella as part of the main lineage or consider them all together along with Nijigasaki and Hanazono doesn’t really change the feeling around that.
Especially for those who became fans of Love Live from Nijigasaki and Ren no Sora.

29: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/09(Mon)13:12

It’s interesting how the people who refuse to acknowledge anything other than μ’s are the ones trampling on μ’s’ intentions the most.

31: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/09(Mon)13:14Yeahx2

>>29It’s great how they are crushing Honoka-chan’s desire for school idols to expand.
It’s not good.

64: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/09(Mon)14:01Yeahx1

>>31Seriously, that’s the worst. It’s a difficult club to live in.

30: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/09(Mon)13:13Yeahx2

In a way, the generational transition from μ’s to Aqours has succeeded, but in another way, it has failed.
That’s why we are here now.

32: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/09(Mon)13:15

I wonder if there are people who follow everything.

33: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/09(Mon)13:17

Before I knew it, there were more series than Idolmaster.

37: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/09(Mon)13:26

The Ikidzu live has undergone a shocking regression, and I can’t help but pay attention.

40: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/09(Mon)13:27

>>37I never thought I could provide a current GOD for free in the Reiwa era…

54: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/09(Mon)13:37

>>40Kukaaーーー!!
This is it!
Going crazy.

41: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/09(Mon)13:28

The song by Ikidzurai-bu-chan was really good.

44: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/09(Mon)13:31

>>41The lyrics clearly convey a strong desire to become someone.

50: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/09(Mon)13:34

>>41The moment when lyricist Aki Hata appeared at the end of the PV was truly moving.

42: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/09(Mon)13:30

It’s just that the series is being developed concurrently.
The 102nd class of Renno Sora has graduated.
The first-year students of Yukigaoka have graduated.
Aqours reaches its finale.
It is held for three consecutive weeks.
What should I do…?

43: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/09(Mon)13:31

There are new songs appearing every couple of months; Liella! just released a new song the other day, Ren is also gradually putting out new songs, and Ikizurai has released their debut song, so I can’t keep up with all the music alone.
The release of the CD has coincided with the complete lifting of distribution service restrictions, so it is still a relief.

45: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/09(Mon)13:32

Are the people in the tough section okay…?

47: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/09(Mon)13:33

>>45It’s difficult to say what you mean by “okay.”

49: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/09(Mon)13:33

>>45I think it has the most distinctive character in the series.

46: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/09(Mon)13:33

It seems that due to the cast’s age, the final chapter of the anime will likely air at the beginning of the year after next, followed by the last live performance that same year, and then it will be over.

61: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/09(Mon)13:49

>>46So I can only fully enjoy the present.
Fortunately, the script for the first chapter is outstanding and the monthly songs are all great tracks, plus Flower has removed the standard couple, so I can enjoy it purely without any complaints.

51: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/09(Mon)13:35

It might draw criticism if I compare it to Gundam right away, but Sukumyu is like Origin and Ikiduz Live is like Turn A.

55: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/09(Mon)13:37

Speaking of which, during the first performance of Sukumizu, I had heard of Tokisen, but it was my first time seeing the actual members.
I didn’t expect Tokisen to jump like that.

56: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/09(Mon)13:38

There is a former underground idol in Ikidzu Live-chan.

58: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/09(Mon)13:40Yeahx1

>>56Speaking of which, there are many kids who admired Love Live and became cosplayers or started doing live idol activities, and now they’ve become part of the cast…

57: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/09(Mon)13:38

Musicals can have changes in the cast.
Support your favorite when you can.

59: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/09(Mon)13:47

What happens when you graduate? Do both the cast and characters become considered OGs?

60: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/09(Mon)13:48

>>59It seems that Ren thinks so.
Liella graduates only the character.

62: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/09(Mon)13:49

If we’re talking about the original group still being active, it’s the Idolmaster.

63: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/09(Mon)13:57Yeahx1

μ’s has knees, you know…

65: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/09(Mon)14:04

Is it already something of the past, the school idols from the Ikiz Live?

66: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/09(Mon)14:07

>>65Once upon a time, there was something called school idols.
The reclusive child worships Umi-chan.

67: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/09(Mon)14:09

Well, if you think about it normally, without a huge capital weapon like a rainbow, it would probably just be a transient boom for school idols.
If you reach the extreme, can’t you just be a pro?

68: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/09(Mon)14:10

I’m looking forward to the lotus anime a bit.

69: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/09(Mon)14:11

I want them to regularly release music videos that cost tens of millions of yen, like the first generation or “Niji no Believer.”
