Have you seen Yuuki Yuuna? Mimori plays one of the bigger roles in that. If you like magical girl anime at all, I strongly recommend Yuuki Yuuna to you.


As for Love Live! and μ's, it's hard to see them getting their own anime again. μ's story was a good long one (2 one-cour tv shows and a movie) where every member was nicely developed and where almost everything wrapped up neatly with a pretty bow. There's also the fact, of course, that μ's seems to be moving on in real life as well...

Love Live! Seasons 1 and 2, and the Love Live! movie, are all so good and so well-received by the fans, that it's hard to see much reason to reboot it. Quick reboots usually happen because the original was disappointing, but that's certainly not the case here.

Maybe Sunrise will one day do a Love Live! Xenoglossia, featuring μ's, if you catch my drift. Such a show should be right up Sunrise's alley for obvious reasons. But I think our chances of getting such a show is higher if the "Love Live" brand shows it has strength beyond the original version.


So if you want more shows like Love Live!, and you want to see μ's in an anime show again, then it's probably best to support Love Live Sunshine. Not to mention that μ's might make a cameo appearance or two in Sunshine, you never know.

I am actually hoping for a 3rd season of Kamisama hajimemashita since there is only 3 chapters left in the manga. As for Aquors, i like You, but not her voice. My fav girl for now is probably Riko because she looks like MimoPai love child with some Kotori attitude thrown in... somehow.

That's a shame. Shukashu (Saitou Shuka) is adorable as she stumbles her way around during the Nico Streams.

Coming in dead last is Nico Nico Nii

Nico: "OI!!!"

I didn't mean to come out 'that' negative. I will watch Sunshine for sure and will enjoy it, but never at the level of Muse. Mainly because of the seiyuu and character connections and so far i am not as attached with the seiyuu list. I have watched all of the Nico live that are available, but it still doesn't do it for me. It is hard to put into words, but i got hooked onto Uchii, Mimorin and Nanjo in the same early phase real fast. That and i also enjoy their works in other shows too, like 'Ultra Rare' with MimoNanjo and Milky Holmes with MimoSora.

It'd also be interesting to see if they're naturally sensual or if they worked to become sex bomb versions of the 2nd years

I was talking about Solo Live version of A-RISE members..

Oh. Well, Sunrise probably didn't have the budget to write more songs. Maybe Acquors' rival group can use that opportunity this time?

I'm currently on a three way tie between the athletically outgoing You (looking like she's got the most meat on her bones certainly helps...), the wonderful DARK ANGEL Yoshiko (her intro is damn hilarious), and the elegant Japanese/French/Italian/American oujo in Mari who's off in her own world. The only voice I'm unsure on is Hanamaru; too deep for what they're going for

Yeah. I was expecting her to have sweet gentle voice instead of deep one..

At last, I've finished the 2nd season (movie is still pending), and gotta say, while it's not 100% my thing, I can see where all the love comes from. It works pretty well as an SoL, and it definetly gets you to like at least some of the characters, if not all of them. As for me, s2 did make me more indecisive, specially after Nozomi's episode, which was surprisingly good, but after that final scene on the roof, Honoka barely gets ahead (Kotori and Umi are still very fine too), though I have to say Maki holding that big robot plush thing in the halloween episode was some of the cutest stuff in the show, besides Kotori and her alpaca love.

The one thing that didn't quite catch me was, well, the music. Not nearly enough variety for me, only songs that stuck with me were the one from the first live and the ED from S1. I'm aware there's more to LL than the anime, but still, a little more variety in the type of music would be appreciated.

On to better stuff, I did really enjoy how s2 got way more comedic moments (Eri doing a pose in episode 2 caught me off guard), even if some of them were pretty trollish (That dream!).

Honestly, I wouldn't mind more of muse, specially since I feel there's more fun to have with the characters (How the hell didn't it occur to Nico or anyone else to put cat ears on Rin?), but it was an enjoyable ride nonetheless, and it got pretty heartfelt at the end.

Now, after one last look at muse, it's the wait for sunshine! But first, to learn who the new girls are!

Honestly, if you want variety, you have to look at the songs outside the anime.

All you have to know is YOUSORO! and the cutest little devil Yohanne.

Yes, incredibly so. You're essentially wishing for a group of 9 young girls new to voice acting to crash and burn in their first gig. They're fellow Love Livers and need our full support.

You didn't feel and feels for Snow Halation?

It was a strong moment character wise, and I understand the song's value storywise, but it didn't really get stuck in my head, not even bits.

Well that's a rarity then, considering how much love the song has in the fandom.

This through a lot of the non-anime songs, solo songs, & subunit songs give the variety in song types.

Not really if they set it few years into the future. Everyone can have a change of heart. It could especially work when 1st years get into 1st year if college.


Cause personally I have no interest in Sunshine. I'll watch it just cause I loved original and willing to give it a chance. But I have 0 expectations.

Honestly, seeing it live in concert had more impact for me than the PVs, so I can understand his feelings about Snow Halation. Wasn't at any of their concerts, but did see them at Animelo and doing the colour change was magical.

Then you are missing the point. The franchise is promoting school idols, not college/university idols. And at that age, the girls may as well go pro, which goes against the spirit of the series. Plus I like to believe that some of the girls are now off to chase some new dream. Kotori especially since she wanted to go into fashion design.

I...suddenly feel a need to raid a bank so that I can pay a group of Spetsnaz to protect my Elicchi...


Also, for HNGGG factor nothing beats a cat, nyaa.
