>>142288025
Wow sameface much?

Looks like a prototype of the most soulless money-grab franchise of the past 10 yearsOh wait that's what it is
>>142288415
LL is sameface galore. This isn't new, literally.
I prefer the old eli, nozomi, umi and nico. Though i dislike nico anyway. The changes to Maki and Kotori are the best.
Some of the old designs especially on school idol festival are shit compared to modern ones though so overall it was positive.
Should have given umi a hime cut or something though then she would have been best for me
Hanayo is eternally cute. I think some of the designs could use a bit of work but I dig the flat shading they went for with the hair. Between this and what we got though, this feels far more amateur.
samey face life
samey face song
Probably would not be popular. Their emotions are subdued and quaint rather than extroverted and blatant, and the style is dated. Would not have appealed as much to the younger demographic

>>142291701
Proto versions are generally like that, I feel like a lot of planning went into Love Live overall before it aired
>Nico had Nozomi's hairstyle.
Thank god they changed that
>>142290170
I liked the fact we had a busty Nozomi and a flat Nozomi
>>142292404
I almost didn't pick up Love Live because Nozomi, Umi, and Nico all looked similar especially Nozomi and Nico. Thank god they changed the hair color/style and gave them color codes
>>142292465
Nico is the most drastic change really
>>142292562
I think her new design is much cuter
I would have liked Nozomi more if she wore the braid the entire time instead of dreadlocks. It's more student council-ish.
>>142292872
>dreadlocks
>>142292872
>>142292941

What about both?
>>142291701
Was Umi originally in the student council instead of Nozomi?
>>142293091
Most likely. I guess she was moved to the main three role to fill in the 'Chihaya' position. She does act the same way after all.
Harasho a cutie
>>142292872
It's quite a shame they didn't show this hairstyle more often. It's so much better than the twintails.
>>142293765
It is sex tier hair
>>142293021
I'm hoping for no delays on that figure, but I'm certainly not expecting it.

The designs changed because of the anime, right? Or did it happen before that?
>>142298905
I think it changed right before the anime, I think the original artwork was kind of like pilot material to get people onboard

>>142298905
They changed like every new work before the the 5th PV, which was done parallel to the TV production.
4th PV was the first time the distinct "Love Live" art style showed up but I think they updated the character designs a bit more after that.
Old Hanayo reminds me of the NOLF character with her '70s hair.
![[Doremi].Love.Live!.PV02.Snow.Halation.[1280x720].[019D2281].mkv_snapshot_00.20_[2016.06.01_21.55.32].png](https://i.imgur.com/BL05bli.jpg "[Doremi].Love.Live!.PV02.Snow.Halation.[1280x720].[019D2281].mkv_snapshot_00.20_[2016.06.01_21.55.32].png")
Oh and of course the black and red winter uniforms died after PV4 never to be seen again
>tfw people only remember the TV anime and not the old animations
Also worth noting Nico goes back and forth on hairstyles until PV5, after which low tails are disappointingly kill.

It's kinda hard to imagine Honoka having a boyfriend. Or a girlfriend, actually.
>>142303643
The fuck you said?
>>142303694
I dunno. She just seemed kinda slow in that area.
>>142303741
Mind you. The entire show can easily be translated into Honoka building up her harem
>>142303789
Well, dense harem protagonists are a thing. Rin kinda falls in there too, except without the harem part.
>>142303591
I meant art style and character traits but to each their own I guess. They keep it vague enough to appeal to both the waifu and yuri fanbase.
I wish they had let Eli keep the guitar though.

Maki's personality makeover is amazing.
Sorry for the terrible camera picture, I don't have scans of this
>>142296631
They did in most of the side materials (manga, SID, drama CDs etc). Love Live has many different canons, so just chose the one you like the best and stick with it.
>>142288025
They looked perfect the way they are.
>>142308101
>Love Live has many different canons
You make it sound like this is all formalized when it's really just played fast and loose and whatever they feel like doing in the moment
Why is Nozomi so lewd
>>142313803

>>142307751
Was Maki's personality different in the early stages?
>>142318355
Full slut mode. I don't know if there are proper translations of these articles so I'll just give some highlight.
From included pic
>To witness the debut of a legendary idol, you really are l-u-c-k-y
>You must check out our PV! If you don't I'll have to punish you (most likely sexually)!
>Also, love me! I'll recieve your feelings and become even more cute!
From >>142307751
>I don't really have time for idol activities but it would be SUCH a waste for someone as cute as me to not becoma an idol
>My hobby is shopping, what I want most right now is oniichan, my special ability is spreading my legs, also my appeal point is hmm... Ah! Even though I look like this I've never had a boyfriend in my 15 years!
The most interesting thing is the oniichan bit. You can interpret it in a number of ways but I'm gonna assume she's talking about the reader (she wants you).
>>142319128
Holy shit, aside from the sexual parts, I can mostly imagine Nico saying those things.
>>142319316
Nico actually seem like a pure moeblob, unlike neo-Nico which is fake moeblob
>>142288025
no, they looked like shit.
>>142319128
Holy fuck. This would be hilarious if it didn't border on creepy as well.
Were the other girls like this as well?
>>142322186
I haven't read through a lot of the articles yet but from what I can tell now personality wise Maki and Nico has recieved major makeovers, while Honoka, Rin and Hanayo seem mostly intact. The proto versions of the other girls are a bit different, like Kotori apparently being a clumsy, air-headed girl.
To better answer your question though every girl is more or less trying to win your (the readers) heart. Maki and Nozomi stands for the lewd innuendo

>>142326153
They didn't want to make everybody else look bad
Why didn't they have more songs? Too stacked? They made other subunits look too bad?
The only one that even came close to it was lily white
>>142326286
Do people talk about the other songs in that album? It seems like it's mostly just about soldier game.
>>142326418
Well, the other songs are just their solo songs, so there's not much to talk about compared to their trio.
>>142326573
That seems like a weird decision to go with. That said, I like all the sub-units a lot. It feels like their songs are way better than what the main group usually gets.
>>142326418
I haven't seen anyone talk about it, but I think Daring! is the best of those 9 solo songs.
HONOKA!
WHERE ARE YOU?
>>142303741
She's more perceptive than people give her credit for.
If you want to read into Honoka's character a bit more deeply, especially in the anime, she actually has some self-esteem issues and major insecurities. Not in the same vein/manner as Rin and Hanayo, but I think she'd still (stupidly) be kind of surprised that someone would find her attractive/want to date her and would probably play extra dumb to sort of avoid it.

That's not what it says. Don't bullshit me
>>142288025
While I wouldn't mind the old uniforms and hairstyles, the old artstyle is inferior to the current ones. I'm glad they made the change. It's probably not a coincidence that their sales began to rise with Mogyutto (when the artstyle began to resemble the anime style).
>tfw I was searching for old Pixiv art

I thought that was pretty weird given how the franchise wasn't that popular until the anime aired.
