Meme Live Sunshine is back, yeah!
More "it's joke", more meme faces, more scared of dogs, more zura, more future, more idols, more training, more dancing, more running-out-of-breath, more costumes, more logic-defying jumps, more "it's all Rubygood", more screaming, less piano lessons, more school-saving, more incoming doujins, more fan-gathering, less μ's copying, less newbies, more yuri undertones, more dark angels and more popularity polls!
Who's excited!?

The franchise as a whole has really hooked me with Aqours, even if Sunshine!! S1 wasn't as strong as S2 of the original. Aqours' music, seiyuu, artwork, audio dramas, etc have all been excellent & really engaged me with the group. Hoping this can transfer to S2 of the anime; especially since S1 ended with them realising they can't just copy Muse.

Idols are too well loved for the industry to stop making them. i wouldn't be surprised if an idol anime such as Aikatsu or Pripara ended up in the "Big 3" eventually.

I hope the plot deviates more from the similarities with the OG Love Live this time, including the whole saving the school stuff. That was the biggest, if not the only problem I had with Sunshine S1.

That's good to hear, sadly I wish it wasn't that popular in the U.S. cause it's filled with toxic people and it doesn't deserve the unnecessary hate. Anyway, I have high hopes for this season because Sunshine had a rocky start, but it always improve as it goes on. Since we get to know the characters now, the series can finally shine!

I'm actually excited though that's because I liked Sunshine more than the original honestly (Yes its a copy and paste of the original at least for the first half but I thought the cast were more likable by comparison, at least to me)

It has to because of all those plot-threads laid down in the second season that were never what Muse had to ever contend with. For one, we are still in the middle of the tournament, the school still hasn't been saved, Saint Snow has an ideological disagreement with Aqours on a fundamental level, Aqours intends to chart their own course (how?), a large group of girls are asking about joining the Idol club (as supporting members that help in costume creation, video editing and such?) and so on. All those plot-threads ensures that the first few episodes of Sunshine S2 cannot follow the structure of SIP S2.

I think we are going to get a First year dramatic arc. We've already received one for the second and first years in the second half of S1.

Joe88 said:

They've more or less moved away from Copy-pasting past Episode 7. Yes, the first six episodes track the original SIP S1 very closely - and that's what everyone seems to remember because first impressions count. But copy-pasting is a very unfair charge to levy at Episodes 7-12 - the Tokyo School Idol World fiasco, the third year and second year drama arcs, the multiple rounds of Love Live and so on. It isn't as if Nozomi and Eli walked out of Nico's idol group two years ago and Nico's old idol group was called Muse....... which would be what SIP would have been like had Sunshine's second half been a copy of SIP.

I'm a bit confused on the LL! hate here. I mean, why even come here if you don't like it?

Well, either way, I'm excited! Season 1 wasn't perfect by any means (that ending really was weird) but hopefully Season 2 will improve on some areas that needed work! LL! Season 2 was better than Season 1 after all, so I have faith!

honestly tho as long as we get more yohane and ruby im fine

I'm guessing you guys are referring to me? @Shadaroo_Da_Gr8, uhm, I'll try to be "nice" then lol.
I don't hate Love Live, quite the contrary. I just think the fanbase is cancerous; I used to be one of them and now I've grown into the pessimistic douchebag I am today, and I find people who say "KANAN-ONEESAMAAAAA" to be cringy as hell.
I also hate shipping (again, I used to be super into that but I find it dumb now) and the yuri in Sunshine was so freaking forced; like, all of them are lesbians, or there's very strong hinting for all of them, far more than the original had. That's so unrealistic and I can't get behind it. Unfortunately, Chika x You seems to be the route Sunshine 2 will be set on so I am not looking forward to that. I think I'm just burnt out of yuri though so this is purely subjective.

I love the music of Love Live, I hate the fandom and yuri ships, and I have mixed feelings about the show, is what it comes down to.

I hope it's going to be as good, if not better, than the first season. Sunshine was actually what got me into Love Live, I've honestly found SIP mediocre (even if the songs were better). It's already a thing of its own (especially Chika declaring they shouldn't just copypaste Muse), here's hoping we're going to see something very different from the original. Hell, I even want to see the sub-units - like in the mobage - if it's possible. And of course more shipping is more good.

HJ: Yuri ships are kind of unavoidable in a series where there are literally no guys at all, at least with any speaking roles (looking at you, Honoka's dad). And I don't know about "unrealistic": do you know you're watching an anime about school idols - which is not a real thing - and the main character of the franchise is hinted to be a time traveller? Last time I checked however, lesbians are still real.

I was actually just kidding when I said mean people, wasn't targeting anyone out. But I'll gladly give my piece on why I love the show and it's fans still.

Firstly, of course all fanbases are going to have the vocal minority of horrible fans, and LL! is no exception. While I try to stay away from those types of fans, you'll always run into them eventually. But I personally don't see that as a reason to call the entire fanbase "cancerous". The portion who I personally see are actually really positive people who just enjoy something to the fullest, even if it can be cringey sometimes. Cringey never hurt nobody, though. Plus it's just people having fun, can't be too negative about that, I think.

Maybe we've just had to two vastly different experiences with the fanbase, but it seems unfair to rope them all together like that.

The shipping thing though is totally a matter of preference, and I can fully understand where you're coming from. While I personally found the Chika and Riko little sub story genuinely good (until it was suddenly dropped towards the end) I can't argue that if you don't like shipping or yuri stuff, LL!'s fans and sometimes the actually series itself, will annoy you. But that's kind of expected, in my opinion. I mean, it's a show with a huge female cast, that's just how it works sometimes. In LL!'s defense though, the original Love Live! never really went too far into the shipping and whatnot, and tended to keep it fairly low key. For the most part. Sunshine!! decided to just say screw it and went to make it a center point of two characters, which I didn't mind too much, (UNTIL IT WAS SUDDENLY DROPPED TOWARDS THE END) but I totally get if you don't like it at all and would prefer they didn't even do it. But I suppose that's just a matter of preference, like you said.

TL;DR - Not all the fans are bad tho
It's fiiiiiine

It just sounds to me like your compromised. View the show through your own lens and not the lens of "I am part of some big community". It seems to me your forming conclusions about the show using community consensus and not just your own views. What Love Live communities do you hang out in? Im curious where these fans are.

As for the fan base, im not sure how you could even remotely try and call out people who like Love Live over practically anything online. Show me the light? Can you give me a list of communities who are not cancerous? Its just an outlandish thing to say.

As for the show, there is pretty much no yuri... There is typical fan service you can find everywhere in anime from the latest robot mechas to chibi comedys. If you want to talk Chika Riko, we will but seriously theres nothing else going on with the other girls. No implications at all. So Chika and Riko may be pushing some boundrys, but if you really sort through their scenes there is nothing to imply either of them has romantic desires for the other one. This is only "yuri" if at all because if they did become a pair its possible for things to end up that way with the path they are on now, it would not be outlandish or jarring for them to end up together. It wont happen, but it certainly would not be jumping the shark with the story they have told thus far. Riko came to town with no friends, and Chika only had You who excels at everything while Chika was just an average talentless girl or so she thought. Her and Riko built Aqours together and they grew close in a special way that did end up excluding You to a degree. I think the writers wanted there to be a deeper drama then what ended up on screen with how that arc between them tied up but the genre and time constraints did not quite allow for it.

Enjoy the show for what it is, and dont let some weird dude saying "KANAN-ONEESAMAAAAA" , wherever you found him at, have negative implications on your enjoyment of the show.
