Honestly, I was expecting this to come out next year and that I would binge the previous installments of the franchise during the waiting time but it's suddenly just three weeks away now!

So, I have to ask now. Probably a nagging question for many, but is it necessary to watch Sunshine and School Idol to get the full experience out of this?

Just how many shows are going to air this year, good lord...

It won't be necessary to watch the prior series unless they closely follow the Love Live All Stars game story line.

You didn't need to watch Love Live to follow Sunshine.
Sunshine was set 2 years after Love Live and didn't have any in story connection beyond passing references. LLAS reset the timeline so all groups are active at the same time.

When Niji was first announced (as PDP) they were not expected to get an anime, the group was formed for the newly announced LLAS game. The anime announcement surprised everyone, including the voice actors.

There is also another anime, Love Live Super Star, in the works. They are currently running polls via the love live magazine to confirm group names. They have already done a poll to name the school.

Right, cool, thanks! Guess I should just watch the School Idol Project for the time being just in case then.

I've heard of this before but thanks for confirming nonetheless!

Oh, that's nice! Well played that, anime producers and whatnot.

Yeah, I know of this in full thanks to MAL News when this project was announced around the same Nijisaki was announced as well earlier this year or late last year. Thanks! :)

Looking forward to finally giving this franchise a shot soon!

This is such a surprise, its so early!!! I've only recently started playing All Stars, and I've only listened to the Tokimeki Runners singles + solos, so I'm kinda behind. I can't really decide on a best girl yet (Kasumi, Shizuku, Kanata are up there, though).

I totally thought the anime was coming maybe April at the earliest, there's been so little info. Fall season looks sooo much more packed

They said not gonna follow the story from the game. Just wondering what kind of story they will serve to us. Hopefully, there's no saving school drama again. For the staff, please make nijigasaki looks great because the characters itself have so many potentials.

Music speaks to people's hearts. All throughout the world. I believe it's a powerfull language.

BRUH I THOUGHT THIS SHIT WAS COMING 2021 THIS CAME OUT OF NOWHERE AIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEE

Still haven't watched Sunshine. Perfect time to watch?

I haven't played All Stars, and it looks like it'll only have these girls, so it'll be new, I guess. Not sure why there's ten girls but that's pretty cool I guess.


Will catch up with Sunshine and watch this weekly just to react with MAL.

The 10th girl is Takasaki Yu. She is the player character in All Stars. She isn't an idol, she's a "supporter". You could say she is the clubs manager.

There is a 10th idol in the group. She was added in the game a few months ago. Everyone thought she was just an in game voiced side character. She was confirmed as joining the club (and becoming an idol) in the last chapter added to the JP version (chapter 17. Global version is up to 12).
The 10th idol is Shioriko Mifune, voiced by Mopii (aka Diba Nana in Revue Starlight).

As for the story, I think we can be carefree because the series composition will be done by the talented Jin Tanaka (Yuru Camp, Yesterday wo Utatte, Go Princess Precure).

This may just be your love for the franchise speaking louder. There is no reason to worry, the quality of the script will not drop.

I'm excited for the series. I wonder how they're gonna change the story from the game. Tho I'm not that hype about the art style this time. It feels like I'm watching a different series. Maybe it'll grow on me but everyone seems kinda off.
