The Love Live! Nijigasaki Gakuen School Idol Doukou-kai First Live "with You" concert announced a new television anime for the franchise on Sunday. The new anime, titled Love Live! Nijigasaki Gakuen School Idol Doukou-kai (Love Live! Nijigasaki High School Idol Club), will be based on a new set of idols from the Love Live! School Idol Festival ALL STARS rhythm game.

Idol Cast
Ayumu Uehara: Aguri Oonishi (Shoumetsu Toshi)
Kasumi Nakasu: Mayu Sagara (Idol Memories)
Shizuku Osaka: Kaori Maeda (Back Street Girls: Gokudolls)
Karin Asaka: Miyu Kubota (Uchi no Ko no Tame naraba, Ore wa Moshikashitara Maou mo Taoseru kamo Shirenai.)
Ai Miyashita: Natsumi Murakami (Aikatsu Stars!)
Kanata Konoe: Akari Kitou (Hitoribocchi no Marumaru Seikatsu)
Setsuna Yuki: Tomori Kusunoki (Assassins Pride)
Emma Verde: Maria Sashide (Watashi ni Tenshi ga Maiorita!)
Rina Tennoji: Chiemi Tanaka (Sakura Quest)

A 4-koma manga by Hito Miyako launched on the Love Live! School Idol Festival ALL STARS official website last year. The serialization moved to Dengeki G's website on July 23 and is published every Tuesday.

Love Live! is a project between animation studio Sunrise, music label Lantis, and Kadokawa's Dengeki G's magazine. It debuted in 2010, with the single Bokura no Live Kimi to no Life by μ's. The franchise has since spawned multiple adaptations including anime, manga, light novels, games, and live concerts. Sunrise produced two seasons of Love Live! School Idol Project in 2013 and 2014, which centered around μ's. A movie followed in 2015.

The project then began focusing on the nine-member unit Aqours, who made their debut single Kimi no Kokoro wa Kagayaiteru kai? in November 2015. Love Live! Sunshine!!, which centers on Aqours, aired in July 2016, followed by a second season in October 2017. A movie, subtitled Over the Rainbow, opened in January of this year.

Hopefully, this will be better than Sunshine, I do like Kanata since she's a bit of a drowsy girl like Kozue Yusa.

Love Live plots (not including films)
* μ's: Save the school from being closed
* Aqours: Shine like μ's / find own light (also, save the school)
* Nijigasaki High School Idol Club: become best idols ever (probably)

Maybe wrong if this new series don't follow the story in the game..
But bare in minds, this NijiGaku (originally Perfect Dream Project) more focus on solo songs instead an idol group like other two before, so the chance on getting different story is high...

For those who doesn't know yet, NijiGaku already have two unit singles, both with a group song and each character have two their own solo song already...

Finally! I have already started counting days since the All Star release and now it has been confirmed!

Cannot say no to my LL dose. While I really loved the first one, Sunshine was alright as anime series but the movie made up for it. Really loved it on board the Emirates.

Also, Love Live! is incredible as a franchise. I saw its international reach as well during my visit in Seoul. Love Live merchandises were in many stores in the shopping districts over there. I would say they are as big as Gundam merchandises.

So excited for this! For those of you who are put off/not liking the possibility of another “school closing” plot, everything about Nijigaku from their conception to their SIFAS story doesn’t even hint at that. They’re solo idols, so you can expect a more competition-driven story than u’s and Aqours.

I like the new art style; I wonder if Sunshine is still doing this? It looks a little like Revue Starlight even, we’ll see.

I'm not too fond of Rina hiding. I hope it's because of a worse shyness than Hanayo / Ruby's. and not disfigured as was Niki Lauda

I thought the original and Sunshine were going to be the only iterations we got of this universe, and I enjoyed both of them, so I'm pleasantly surprised! I hope it holds up to the other two's standards. The art looks as gorgeous as ever.

Oh you should! The scriptwriter for the franchise is Hanada Jukki. The man behind Hibike!, YoriMoi and YagaKimi! The legend of All Girl (or mostly girls) Cast.

Don't really know the number for franchise as a whole but currently on the game part the standing is like this.

Im@s > Bandori > LL

Sometimes it is this depending on how big is the event.

Bandori > Im@s > LL

Rarely it is like this.

Im@s > LL > Bandori

And never LL overtake Im@s. Im@s still pretty much the judgernaut on the gaming front.

plot-wise, yes it will be very different since in the original game, it's not the usual school closing route, and the girls are individual idol instead of a group!

From what I gather, it's not shyness or anything like that.

Rather, she greatly struggles with expressing emotions, so she has a notepad with various facial expressions drawn on it (referred to as a board) to help her with this. Also a high-tech headset with a mask as part of her idol outfit (I will admit the first time I saw her design, this whole masked thing plus Sunrise being responsible for the anime for both of the previous group caused me to mentally compare her to Char of all people. Needless to say I don't make that comparison anymore... though I still went and listened to Beyond The Time when she revealed her actual face as a nod to my initial impressions).

Speaking of that face reveal, she was only able to manage a faint smile - again, she struggles greatly with facial expressions, so that faint smile took everything she had.
