I liked this one.

I wonder why is she so hated. She was shy and could not make a decision without Rin so you would think /a/ would root for her.
>>
>>139476225

Hanayo's completely flanderized towards the end of season 2 and the movie. Instead of being a cute, meek girl with an idol obsession she becomes all about MUH RICE, STAPLE FOOD. Which got incredibly annoying quickly, I'm guessing they needed to do something with her to stand out more.

Rin got better as things progressed though.

Elichka saved the show from shitty idols like Niku.

>>139474817
It was okay.

It had its moments, but its flaws as well. They fall back on the characters' quirks too much. The endings were also flawed, S1's ending wasn't terrible, but it wasn't anything noteworthy, and S2's last-minute sequel hook ending just left a bad taste in my mouth. The movie had the best ending out of the three.

With all that being said, all of the main girls at least got a decent amount of development, even with episodes that mainly focused on a single character. Nothing spectacular, but hey its something.

Also what >>139475347 said
>>
>>139477337
True but fans don't give money to every Idol they see. The Index director found out the hard way last month.

Old stuff from 2010. Snow Halation was originally a love song wherein they serenade some fag.
Anime turned into a love song instigated by Eli for Nozomi

Wise decision, I must admit
>>
>>139474817

It's good.

Girls are great. SoL is great. No males to waste screentime. Idolshit is reduced to music videos, none of the usual idolshit industry crap.
>>
>>139479278
>Anime turned into a love song instigated by Eli
Yes.

>for Nozomi
No.
>>
http://dynasty-scans.com/chapters/%CE%BCs_vs_htt_the_allies

It's finally been translated.
>>
>>139479436
But Eli wouldn't have encourage the team if not for Nozomi's wish to make thing special
>>
>>139479278

Originally there was supposed to be a male MC. Then they realized how retarded that was.

I wish other studios were so smart.
>>
>>139479278
Yes and No.

The anime turned Snow Halation's love song into a platonic love. Hence Hanayo mentioning she likes her fellow members, Nico mentions she likes Idols.
>>
>>139479584
There was NEVER a Male MC.

However if you watch Snow Halation again, it's obvious they are appealing to a self-insert probably male.

I can still remember how
That music used to make me smile

That I could make those people dance

But February made me shiver

Bad news on the doorstep
I couldn't take one more step

I can't remember if I cried
When I read about his widowed bride
Something touched me deep inside
The day the ยตsic died

That being said, I ended up enjoying S1 because this goal even if it was questionable because it gave S1 a story arc and something for the girls to work towards.

The girls look to Umi to see if she has any romantic experience she doesn't, it is also revealed that both Honoka and Kotori have no romantic experience. It can be assumed that none of the girls have any experience with romance, but I could be wrong.
I believe this is the only mention of anything romantic in the anime, but again I could be wrong.

Yeah, that episode was pretty fun but it didn't immediately change my appreciation of the character like Rin's or maybe even Nico's did. I got to like her when listening to her solo songs, but even that took time as Blueberry Train used to be torture for my ears. Now it's one of my favorite songs.

I never really liked the "wise mastermind" charade she tried to play throughout the first season. I was hoping for an episode that delved a bit deeper into her since the second episode of S1 and not only did S2 finally deliver, it really tore down the walls of what I thought about her character. I mean, she didn't receive mind-bloawing character development, but it was nice to finally see and learn more about her.

>Talk of a male love interest in the PVs

So after going through what info I can find I've come under the assumption that in Japan a male character would've been fine as it would've allowed for a way for the viewers to insert themselves into the story whereas in the Western audience it would've been despised since it seems that a large portion of the fandom is female and part of the LGBT community.

Am I close or way off?
>>
>>139528772
You are dead wrong, half of the LL fandom in Japan is teenage girls as well, the franchise would never get this big if it just pandered to otaku.
>>
>>139528772
Way off since Lovelive was never aimed to the west in the first place so whatever the west think is irrelevant.

Male MC was removed from Lovelive before the west knew of Lovelive anyway.
>>
>>139528772
Japan might not have been too angry in the infancy of the brand. A male character wouldn't fit in Love Live though. They go to an all girls school and changing the formula would have taken away from them.
Anyone hoping for a male character at this point is retarded. Every single piece of Love Live material ships the girls together. The games, the mangas, CD dramas, novels, songs, the actresses and staff and even the anime. There is no way they can slip a self insert in there these days. A huge portion of the Japanese fanbase ships them and a huge amount of the fanart is yuri.
>>
I don't understand, what's the point of ending Muse when they're at the peak of their popularity? they really expect Aquors to take their place?
>>
>>139528772
Maybe. I've never seen a survey asking for the fan's sexual orientation. Actually I think Reddit has done it so I should try to find it.

The only website I've seen speculating that Love Live has a large LGBT fanbase is on TVtropes so make of that what you will. I don't doubt some of us fit that label, I just don't know how many it could apply to or if it really is inherently popular with homos and trannies.

>>139529658

Do it.

So I guess they didn't go with using the younger sisters as the main characters because the original cast would still be around overshadowing them?

>I thought Inami was awkard around guys? Its been a while since I've seen Working.

Yes and also very awkward with her body because she thinks she had figure of 10yo boy (like Rin) (like they have).

Who know?

But I'd be totally okay if Naobou (KWSM) and Ayaneru (Rinne) released a song as the new Otonakizaka Idols.

Rin isn't self-conscious about that. She's sexy as she is.

It's a show for girls.

There's not a single scene with tits, the only thing they give for guys is Nico's skirt in the 2nd season and the A-rise performance. Probably because they realized not all fans were girls. The 1st season has nothing of the kind.

Maki is shit. Her voice is fucking terrible.
