 A new television anime series for the Love Live! franchise was announced by animation studio Sunrise on Tuesday. The tagline for the new anime reads, "Watashi wo Kanaeru Monogatari. Hello!!! Love Live!"  An open audition for one of the main cast members will begin on March 12. Participating women must fall between the ages of 15 and 22 as of April 1, 2020, be able to move to Tokyo upon passing, cooperate with video recording during the screening process, and be unmarried. Contestants currently enrolled in junior high school or lower, and those with an existing contract with a recording company or an entertainment agency will not be allowed. Minors will require parental consent.The second day of the Love Live! Fes event on January 19 unveiled the launching of a new project. The fifth volume of the Love Live! Days Love Live! Sougou Magazine (pictured right) will reveal more information on Thursday. A separate new television anime for the franchise titled Love Live! Nijigasaki Gakuen School Idol Doukoukai (Love Live! Nijigasaki High School Idol Club) was announced last December. The anime will follow a new set of idols from the Love Live! School Idol Festival ALL STARS rhythm game. The Love Live! franchise—created by animation studio Sunrise, music label Lantis, and Kadokawa's Dengeki G's magazine—debuted in 2010 with the Bokura no Live Kimi to no Life single. The first two seasons, centering on the idol group μ's, premiered in Winter 2013 and Spring 2014, followed by an anime film in June 2015. The idol project then shifted their focus on the new nine-member unit Aqours, who performed their debut single, Kimi no Kokoro wa Kagayaiteru kai?, in November 2015. The first Love Live! Sunshine!! television anime aired in July 2016, followed by a second season in October 2017. Love Live! Sunshine!! The School Idol Movie: Over the Rainbow, the latest installment in the franchise, opened in Japan last January.

| To no one's surprise lol Ugh, we really need more Idolm@ster instead. |
 |
| Wow, so that's two more installments in the making into the illustrious franchise and announced within just over a month' time or so. No wonder why it seemed to be on a halt, of sorts, for a while. Anyway, this is great news for the fans! Now, this'll almost certainly prompt me to finally catch up to this series. |

| What a time to be alive. |
| Yes please, give me more idol shows and more love live. I welcome all of them. But give me a new idolmaster as well. Last female was years ago and the last one was SideM in 2017. |
| Oh great ! Didn't think there would be another series announced ! |
 |
| This is neat! But yes.... we need more Idolmaster... :”( |
 |
| I stilll gotta get round to finishing the first Love Live. I put it on the side for a while. Might have to get round to watching it again. |
| This announcement is so important that I've been notified twice lmao |
 |
| It's time to become a school idol |
| Hmm... This is really a big shoot again - I wonder me what a story concept could this get, because the school-saving would be very overused and not recommendable this time... And casting for this... Well, I guess that Japan with their seyuu-arsenal on their limit are, though I don't wonder me - if seasonal 40-50 shows are meanwhile, the current and notable seyuus are fully booked. |
 |
| Hohoho i guess i'll be having new waifus |
"Everyone fails sometimes But dreams won't fade, dreams won't fade Let's chase them as many times as it takes and don't lose Because today after all is today and once you wake up, it'll be a new morning" ~Aqours~ |
| The greatest idol anime of all time! I freaken' cried at the end of both stories! It was so wholesome! :') I love the news picture! The best girls from the previous two franchises (I was leaning more for Zuramamu but then I switched to our resident Datenshi <3 and there is no one but Maki-chan for me!). They would make a perfect duo! Haha! I didn't play the game but someone revealed that this time, we will be having a one on one duel instead of a group performances like it was the case for μ's and Aqours. @_MushiRock11_: Hoping for Hanada Jukki. And hoping him to bring his A-card out again! He knows how to work on all/majority girls cast (Hibike, Yorimoi, K-On, Yagakimi, Chuunibyou, Bocchi and of course LL!)! A legend! |

I would say it'd have to be a real shock honestly if Studio Sunrise were to exempt him from this project considering how big a role he has played in previous installments from this franchise already (and certainly for a lot dozen others!). Basically, they better do! |

| CALLING IT NOW The N Girls/SIF Girls are getting their own anime. Just watch. If I'm wrong, well fuck. But seriously, auditions? I'm telling you, dude. |

| Oh wow, we're getting a new group that's not PDP? They sure are expanding the franchise compared to the days when it was just Muse and just Aqours at a time. I Suppose this means we're gonna have 3 groups going on at the same time? Looking forward to the anime though, I hope it's just as good as the old ones. |
 |
| I am waiting desperately for this anime. I will see Emma Verde! Imho the best N-girl, and she ispart of this new group! We finally get a chance to know her better! |
 |
| Amazing. I liked the PDP announcement but I felt it lacked something. Looking forward to this! |
 |
| This is how Love Live will take the new step to expand the franchise due to Love Live! Fest aftermath...2 animation project simultaneously...NijiGaku & then this... |
| First Nijigasaki Girls, then All Stars and now this. Glad to see the expanding horizon of Love Live Project. |
 |
| Wow, they really are going all out to breath a new life into the franchise. Still, i'll remain cautiously pessimistic as i doubt any of the new entries would match the original.

In fact, i'll be surprised if they use them again at all. |

| Most girls that have been on Love Live had already worked as Actresses or singers (For example: Dia's Seiyuu working on GoBusters beforehand). It feels refreshing that they are doing an open audition for a new set of idols. Good to see some girl's dream might become reality, mostly seeing how Other Love Live shows work. |

| Apparently according to the news on Twitter, this is the official "Love Live! 3rd generation". Which means they will likely be a completely new characters just like the time when Aqours shows up. Since Muse is smile, Aqua is Pure, then this will be a cool type??? Looking forward to it! A bit sad that they announce this not long after NijiGaku got the spotlight, but then again i would love for this franchise to grow more!! Tigerle said: I am waiting desperately for this anime.

XD But I do agree that it's great to know the characters better! Emma is my best girl next to Shizuku in PDP~ |

 I'm starting to get embarrassed by my own forum signature line.. XD |
Genoard said: Their use of N SIF girls for PDP was quite limited so i really doubt they'll assemble an entire new unit with them only. In fact, i'll be surprised if they use them again at all. SO it was confirmed it will be a nine-member unit? damn. |

I would say that if they did an original installment and not Shiny Colors (I don't care for the characters in Shiny Colors). As for this new series I hope it's actually good. |
 |
| Always looking forward to more Love Live, can't wait. |
 |
| Interested in seeing this even though I've pretty much moved to the Idolm@ster camp now. I hope the cast will be more like that of the first season than the second. |
 |
| I just finished the first season of the original love live and enjoyed it, glad to see even more love live animes are being made |
I'd love to know what you mean by "dead." lol |
