How Nijigasaki PERFECTLY Continues the Love Live Legacy

The Love Live franchise is one that contains a lot of different themes and motifs that it carries over and develops from season to season, and it’s latest iteration Nijigasaki Gakuen School Idol Doukoukai AKA NijiGaku is no exception. Although separate from the mainline story, it still manages to hold true to the spirit of the franchise, and as it follows the journey of Takasaki Yuu and her goal of finding her dream, it’s easily a perfect continuation of the series!

The Power to Believe Again | The Importance of Saint Snow

It’s no secret that Saint Snow is extremely well-loved in the Love Live! fanbase, as they are introduced in the story of Love Live! Sunshine!! with an instant impact. They are edgy and way cooler than Aqours appeared at the time, and to this day receive some of the best music in the franchise. But their importance in the story and what they serve in comparison to the journey of Aqours is often misunderstood, so in celebration of Leah Kazuno’s birthday, I wanted to break down what made this duo so amazing.

The PERFECT RIVALS | The Underrated Importance of A-RISE

A-RISE were the greatest school idols in the world. They were the winners of the first Love Live! and were μ’s superior in every regard…yet they still lost. Why was it that group of perfect idols that lost in the end? Why didn’t they receive as much character development as Saint Snow? Well, it all has to do with what they represent in the world of Love Live and the journey of μ’s. So let’s find out.

Predicting the Plot of the Nijigasaki Anime

The anime for the next entry in the Love Live franchise is coming on October 3rd and I’ve been filled with thoughts and ideas as to how Love Live! Nijigasaki Gakuen School Idol Doukoukai AKA NijiGaku is going to carry out its story considering how fundamentally different it is from School Idol Project and Sunshine. But, taking into account the info from the newly announced trailer, my understanding of the story mode of School Idol Festival All Stars, my general knowledge of the themes of the Love Live series so far and some outside similarities with the iDOLM@STER, I wanted to take this chance to predict the plot of the NijiGaku anime!

The Miracle Who’s MORE Than A Ship | Who is Riko?

On the birthday of the third member of Aqours, the one who changed the destiny of Uchiura, I wanted to talk about Sakurauchi Riko, a girl who is very well liked in the Love Live fandom, but is also heavily misunderstood. Everyone seems to focus on her in ships and sometimes even malign her as stealing Chika from You, but I feel that people don’t understand who Riko is and what her relationships to Chika, You and even Datenshi Yohane mean for not just her personal journey, but for the entirety of Love Live! Sunshine’s story.

So let’s find out together why Riko is more important than you think!

The MOST MISUNDERSTOOD in μ’s! | Who is Kotori Minami?

It’s the birb’s birbday today and it’s time to talk about the last in the original trio that created μ’s! While Minami Kotori is very well liked in the Love Live fandom, it’s safe to say that a lot of people don’t think that she plays too important of a role in the story of Love Live, some even saying that she is a flat character who doesn’t change. But this is a very harsh misunderstanding of who Kotori is, and to understand Umi and Honoka as well as μ’s as a whole, then we need to see how Minami Kotori grew into the person she is today!

The MOST IMPORTANT Character in Love Live! | Who is Honoka Kousaka?

μ’s is a legend in the world of school idols. In the anime and even in real life, they left a mark on the world that could never be replicated. At the lead of this amazing and radiant group of nine was a normal girl who ran into an open field in search of the light.

The Normal Monster | Who is Takami Chika?

In Love Live! Sunshine!!, there are a lot of words that hold thematic weight throughout the series, but none hit more than those of “regret” and “normal”. These words that embody the goals and motivations of every girl that fills the cast, but the one who embodies them the most gave herself the title “normal monster”. That’s Takami Chika, the leader of Aqours, the girl who could only call herself normal and possibly the greatest protagonist in all of anime.

The NUMBER 1 Idol in the Universe | Who is Nico Nico Nii?

On the birthday of the Number 1 Idol in the Universe and the most popular Love Live character of all time, we take a look at Yazawa Nico, the mischievous gremlin and two-faced creator of the Nico Nico Nii and member of μ’s, often written off by many people in the community as being nothing more than a meme, being extremely rude or just barely scratching the surface of what she serves to the core of Love Live’s story. Because, make no mistake, there is a reason she is so prominent and why she’s so central to the story of Love Live, and I feel that I have no choice but to do her justice so that people can understand her and further understand the detail and meaning within School Idol Project.

This is Yazawa Nico, the Number 1 Idol in the Universe.

The BEST WRITTEN WAIFU in All of Anime | Who is Yohane?

Tsushima Yoshik-I mean Yohane from Love Live! Sunshine!! is my favorite character in all of anime! She’s cute, she’s got a great singing voice, but most importantly she’s a chuuni. She is someone who has a weird hobby yet goes full force into that hobby all the same, and that is integral to the story of Love Live. Wanna know how?

Let me tell you who is Yohane?
