>Below average 2D animation

Is this supposed to be a joke? How did it get so popular?
Doujins.
No, really.
The songs and the characters came first, then the anime
>>142217343
Lesbians sells.
>>142217343
Shipping probably
People like dykes
Maybe because it's good?
>>142217343
You are now aware that it was a popular franchise before it got an anime.
>>142217343
Normies (especially females) liked the anime, not us.
>>142217863
>especially females
I find this hard to believe.
>>142217929
Apparently it's true just like K-On but I would guess the most hardcore are still male.
>>142217929
Around 50% of the LL fan base is female
>>142217343
It's comfy nigger

>more light hearted than iM@S
There you go
OP is probably an im@sfag who got salty because their dying franchise is getting overshadowed.Don't get me wrong, I like im@s too.
>>142218727
What's the deal with iM@S anyway? So there's the original 765, which I didn't like much, then Cinderella Girls, which was better, and then there's another generation of new girls? There won't be another season with the 765 girls?
That reminds me, why the hell are the songs involving sub-units and duos usually way better than the larger group songs? This is bullshit.
>>142217863
>normies
You have no right talking about "us"

>>142218820
It's just like what they're doing with Muse. There's a new group every few years to keep the idol train rolling.
Million Live might get an anime at some point.
I actually watched this anime with full expectations to be disappointed and found it not so terrible.
Not the best, but neither the worst thing out there. It was fine with them wanting to get better and save their school, kinda got week by the end.
About the game it's mobileshit, who cares.
>>142219193
How gay is Million Live?
>>142219193
Didn't someone wanted to make a cross over Idol fighting game?
>>142218613
>Around 50% of the LL fan base is female *or identifies as female*
fixed.
all sorts of trans-whatever when I went to see the movie.
>>142220048
That would help to explain the popularity of the "trans-Rin" theory.
>>142220169
How could they? I mean Rin is clearly a girl.
>>142220169
For fucks sake

>lesbian sells
2/10
>>142220333
The proof is in the pudding.
>>142220364
Canon lesbians don't generally sell though. People need to resort to subtext shit to make yuri work.
>>142220364
Worst pairing. Rin as a tomboy belongs with one of her male childhood friends.
>>142220419
Yes basically made up shit from Yurifags. The only probable lesbian in Love Live was Nozomi, and that is just because she goes around touching girls (why does she get away with it?)
>>142220434
She doesn't have any. Hanayo is her only friend so it makes sense.
>>142220266
Tumblrtards believe that there is no such thing as tomboys. If a girl has short hair, likes sports, and wears shorts she clearly wants to be a man. Same thing with male characters that crossdress or look girly. It's pretty sexist if you think about it, which is very ironic.
>>142218727
I'm not, I'm not even an idolfag so I decided to watch this over Idolmaster since it doesn't have the shitty producer self insert character.
>>142220611
Except Rin's episode clearly showed she wants to be a girl.
>>142219839
When I initially watched Love Live I was supposed to remain neutral while watching it, as I only watched it because I heard it was the top selling show of the season. While I liked it, it wasn't until season 2 when I really began to love the series.
>>142217422
>>142217721
What was it before the anime? A Mobage?
>>142221899
a series of CDs and animated music videos.
>>142217343
Reminder that 51,000 people showed up at a love-live concert in Tokyo last week.
this franchise is unstoppable now

>>142221899
The mobage (School idol festival) started after the anime. It's probably the source of 99% of female fans.
Before then it was a reader contribution project of a girly mag where you could vote on various things like music videos and who would be in the center of the next single or sub-units.
>>142221899
It's the Japanese Idol equivalent of Gorillaz
Instead of having 9 idols appearing on stage, they had 9 idols appear as animated characters in music videos. The videos became popular enough that they made an anime. The anime actually shows shot by shot how some of the music videos were 'made' and why
>>142220591
pana has a great body
>>142222196
Is it under the name of Love Live or another name?
>>142222627
Love Live School Idol Project.
>>142222627
In case you're trying to find them, open wide for the choo-choo train

>>142222799
Thanks! I was going to look for them eventually.
There are some great songs
Rin is cute
Once you get over the instinctive repulsion to CG you can appreciate that the dances are 50% drawn, and well. Their mouths and lip syncing is detailed for a TV anime.
It's pretty amazing they had the resources to design outfits, choreography, write a song, and animate a raibu every odd episode even if they had to resort to CG for the parts with multiple characters. It couldn't have been cheap to make the anime.
>>142222178
I was kind of wondering if Sunshine was going to hit a bit of a roadblock after the most recent sub-unit single had kind of blah sales for a Love Live disc and then I saw the images of the Sunshine event and figuredo here we go again. It strikes me that's far too many people to cram into that narrow a location on a blistering hot weekend
There is a mobile game that's pretty popular that it's based off of.
>>142220010
Yeah. The creator of Blazblue who works with Arc-Sys wanted to make an iM@S x Love Live fighting game. Not too huge on BlazBlue, but he did work on Dengeki Bunko Fighting Climax which I liked a lot.
>>142220857
Well season 2 was better in every way compared to season 1.
>>142222799
Snow Halation is still the best.
Mogyutto is probably second.
