Vote for the sub-units' group names:
http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/interest/2016-01-28/dengeki-g-announces-love-live-sunshine-mini-units-name-poll/.98076
Ok I know near nothing about this series, but i like the music. Here's what I've been able to gather in my attempts to understand the group dynamics:
>9 girls start an idol group to ostensibly save the school, but they all have personal extra reasons
>Honoka gets a girlfriend from a different idol group (Chika?)
>Nozomi and Eli are the Alpha Gays and also the Team Parents
>Nico and Maki are mega tsundere for each other
>Rin is a furry and loves everyone, but Hanayo especially
>Kotori loves playing doctor with Umi
>Nico is basically Idol!Jazkuzure Nonon (small, angry, gay)
Am I correct?
>>1985392
Close enough, you're just missing the parts where everybody turns into Tang and Maki masturbates over a comatose Nico.
>>1985392
I recommend that you just watch the series then pretend that you never posted that
(Chika is not in the series yet. She's coming on the Aquors that will arrive on July)
Just leaving this here
>>1985392
>>1985410
There's also the part where Nozomi keeps having flashbacks to several months prior, but then she keeps remembering shit differently and things in the present keep changing.
But then it turns out that the present was actually the future, the past was actually the present, and Nozomi's latent ability to see the future had finally been tapped into.
It turned what would've been an asspull Deus Ex machina victory into a very clever triumph in their darkest hour.

So on the Aqours valentine messages, the translation can be found either here
https://www.reddit.com/r/LoveLive/comments/45kt1z/valentine_messages_from_aqours/
Or in the youtube comment section. We now know that Ruby and Maru frequently exchange chocolates on Valentine's Day.
"Um um um um congratulations on Valentine uh that's kinda wrong. I always trade homemade chocolate with Ruby but this year for the first time in my life have I presented a chocolate to someone else so I'm very nervous it's homemade so it may not be good looking or taste as good as they do in store but if it's ok with you please try to eat this the heart shaped is made by Ruby and star shaped is made by me oh yea every year I make chocolate with Ruby and exchange them with her chuckle and one day just the two of may become brides together."
>>1985413
saved!
What is known about how μ's spent Valentine's Day, or what they did to commemorate it:-
- JolKs heckling each other over chocolate
- Soramaru received chocolate from a minimum of 2 colleagues
- Emitsun gave chocolate to Pile and presumably the other members (also, some fans traced the gift based on its packaging and discovered that Pile received a chocolate piglet... Emitsun why)
- Shikaco and Rippi were playing with the chocolate they received from an unnamed "sensei", probably one of the dance instructors
- Mimorin merrily confessing that she "likes Ucchi" before an audience of fans, unbeknownst to Ucchi who was in Osaka at the time
- Maybe in no relation to the above, just slightly prior, Ucchi said on radio that her ideal yuri scenario is of "a romance with another girl in the same idol group, encouraging each other while in competition as rivals". Where have we heard this before?

I'm enjoying the extra gayness in the dub.
Rewatching the first season reminds me why I liked the Honk/Eli ship, back when they were rivals.

Are they channeling Nep through Honks?

>>2002203
Its more like Cotaro didn't exist yet. Not exactly new in the franchise, there have been plenty of retcons like the relationship of Eli and Honoka.
>>2002203
Anime changes a lot from SID/Manga version. It's basically parallel world.
I'm looking for MakiNico, HonoKoto, and NozoEli pictures, what should I enter into pixiv to find them? I've tried ラブライブ and 百合, but it has too many other results in addition to what I'm looking for.
Can you people recommend some really ANGST love live fics
>>2003319
I don't know what the NicoMaki or NozoEli tags are off hand, but for KotoHono try ことほの or ほのこと the first tag (KotoHono) seems to be used more on pixiv than HotoKono tag.
>>2002225
>A heaven with eight loving angels.
>>2003319

>>2003319

>>2002549
The anime predates the SIDs, but they were written by different people.
There's a common misconception that the SIDs came before the anime, which is untrue; the original set of SIDs were published after season 1.
>>2003329
There's a KotoHono fic about Kotori contracting a malignant brain tumor.
It's angsty but I would not recommend it until the author fixes up the grammar.
>>2003406
>KotoHono fic about Kotori contracting a malignant brain tumor.
kek
It was as if we've never seen this story before
>>2003406
I like how the angst was phrased as a positive aspect in that sentence.
>>2003406
I've read that fic and well it was okay writing, I prefer my yuri to be much lighter in tone.
On an unrelated note, thanks for the previous tags. Now all I need is Hanayo x Rin and Tsubasa x Honoka.

Anyone who has to force this topics has forgotten what it means to remain in canon.
Seeing stories like this are what made me quit fanfiction for good. Hope that you all quit it as well.

It's currently the only fic on TvTropes recommended LL fanfic list.
Makes you wonder how the hell the selection process work.
>>2004534
There is no "selection process". Any user with an account can edit the page to link a fic, praise it for merits real or imagined, and there it is.
Since even grossly OOC garbage like Soldier Wars can spawn a whole TVTropes page for itself, you shouldn't expect much standards in the first place.
>>2004553
So no-one, no-one bothers to audit anything on the recommendation list??
So much for a recommendation list giving examples of the '1% worth dying for.'
I'm tempted to make an account just to recommend trite.
With that being said, there is some genuinely good stories on the rec list I've looked at.
>>2004567
The recommendation lists run into the wikipedia problem of anyone being allowed to edit, and the only people willing to invest time into editing a page are people invested in its subject, so you get a lot of positive entries that nobody who isn't biased ever takes a look at.
Also, the more traffic a page gets the more likely it is that people will point out bad recommendations and commend good ones, and the LL page has literally a single entry with a single recommendation. The lists do tend to be better than just browsing blindly or using the ffnet internal search, but the only time they're really good is with popular fandoms.
>>2004401
Better.
>>2003401
Really? why did they credit Sakurako as the creator then in that movie?
Love this artist.
What the hell, manga Eli is a literal homewrecker

LLWikia has finished translating all the recent Aqours articles including the costume reveal captions (the message in the speech bubble). Check out all Aqours character pages for the recent updates.
A message for our more het sensitive fans, not all of them are /u/ friendly. Special mention goes to You, Mari and Ruby. Yoshiko again is flirting with someone.
>>2005324
That's just typical idol talk, where it's towards the reader. SIF is is full of them in the side-stories.
Yeah, the waifu pandering is dumb and often cringe-worthy, but nothing to really get upset over. The early years of Love Live had them as well.
Does anyone have that animated GIF of RinEli stretching scene? The one where Eli happily fucks Rin in the ass. Pic related so you guys get the idea.
>>2004411
yes

>>2005387
>where Eli happily fucks Rin in the ass
And that's another idea for the drawing backlog, thanks anon
>>2004599
Because Kimino is the writer behind a large part of the cast's characterization as it is and was.
Remember, the anime only aired in the 3rd year of the project. While the anime plotline is the "main" one which SIF and, to some extent the SIDs, follow, she writes or had input in everything outside the anime. Back in the day, some fans actually were displeased by how much Hanada's writing of the characters had deviated from their understanding based on Kimino's magazine articles, livestream skits, etc.
If you watch any episode of KotoHonoUmi/KotoHonoMaki/Fight Club or even the most recent Aqours broadcast, the CVs always credit her as 原案 for the scripts she wrote for their characters.
>>2005474
>Back in the day, some fans actually were displeased by how much Hanada's writing of the characters had deviated from their understanding based on Kimino's magazine articles, livestream skits, etc.
like eliumi? I'm actually pleased with the changes that he did for not making them a pair. It could be really worse if he did. I prefer the manga to be honest.
>>2005645
No, EliUmi fans would whine and cry about how their OTP was "intended all along" and other such nonsense, but the amount of ship fodder they had was no more or less than the other ships in general. Anybody can read what they like into canon if they want to see it from a shipping perspective. And let us dwell no more on that topic.
No, the deviations were not to do with any ship in particular, but more to do with characterisation itself. Maki was narcissistic on a level on par with Nico as she is portrayed nowadays, for instance. Nozomi's older design was also more goofy than motherly, as we can still see from the manga, SIDs, Kussun's turn on Fight Club, etc.
It's up to us as fans to reconcile older and newer canon portrayals of characters into images which we nevertheless enjoy, anyway.
>>2005808
Thanks for the answers then.
>>2006083
Only for those people who keep crying "MUH CANON" when they really mean its their own Fanon.
There is no crack paring for Love Live, just more popular and less popular shipping. They're all very close to each other that any combination of shipping is plausible.
I just finished season 1 and 2, the movie and the dream ova, and i have yet to see this scene. Am i missing something or did i just look away at the wrong moment?
Also Nicomaki and UmiKotori for lyf
>>2007302
It's from one of the music videos, pre-anime.
Now might also be a good time to mention there are essentially two versions of Nico, one is playful and mischievous and the other is a narcissistic brat.

Thank you.
Wow, was Nozomi supposed to be younger in the beginning? Her design has changed a lot.
>>2007943
Might be just a matter of the different art styles. Nozomi used to introduce herself as "second-year", so one story goes that she was revised to be third-year in order to even out the number of members in each year. If we look at it from another perspective, since Nozomi has an earlier birthday than Nico and Eli, that line could have been before her birthday, or before the school term started.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7NgLlOvzA6E
>>2007943
On early incarnations of Nozomi she was more of a weirdo and an occult maniac. Because she is a miko she usually would present solutions to problems that were of the mystical nature, like charms or spells. Recent works have toned this down, usually just using tarot cards, though she is still a miko.
Speaking of early incarnations I always preferred Teaser!Nico. It was funny how she would troll other members if µ's especially Maki (because no matter the incarnation there will always be NicoMaki). Narcissist!Nico's humor largely depends on how one enjoys schadenfreude comedy.
>>2008078
Is there any other major differences from the music videos/manga to the anime, other than Nico's personality, Umi being love buds with Eli and Nozomi's transition?
>>2008181
Umi and Honoka are different in manga. Umi is not a bitch and she's a ladies woman, while honoka is a smart girl and a hardworker.
>>2008282
I have never seen any statement more wrong. Maybe it's time for you to review canon before posting.

It's just I'm not really into Honoka ships in general since Honk is being a lady killer to everyone. It's kinda hard to imagine someone who goes touchy touchy with all the girls being committed and tied to a relationship though.It's like you are having a harem lead. And KotoUmi got the dynamic I like, so it boils down to a matter of preference.
Also OT3 dous are all angst.
>>2009476
The title of Nico's episode in season 1 was specifically named with that in mind, actually. They discussed it during the third special livestream.
I remember some laughs were had in a past thread about how Soramaru, who is besotted with the archetypal redhead tsundere that Asuka is, ended up playing a character who is shipped with a redhead tsundere. Plus, she likely had a hand in getting Pile into Evangelion too.
If we have any A/u/stralians in this thread be aware that there will be a live stream in Sydney courtesy of Madman.
>OT3
>Honk in the middle
When Honkfags talk about ‘OT3’ it basically only HonoUmi and KotoHono and doesn't involve KotoUmi, most of the time KotoUmi will end up hating each other, that's why I don't like the Honkfags’ idea of OT3
>>2009814
and KotoUmi shippers like to believe Honk doesn't mean anything to Kotori and Umi. It goes both ways.
>>2009814
http://www.pixiv.net/member_illust.php?id=280930 one of my favorite artist for 2nd years OT3 and I don't think they portray them like that (though I am burdfag at heart more honk or sea).

OT3 is superior

Well I'll be damned.
>>2009493
I don't even ship OT3 and I find that statement ridiculous. Sure, she is easy to ship with everyone but that is largely a result of her friendly, upbeat personality that makes her shipping great either to complement or contrast a relationship. However, Honkers being a harem lead is just fanon and saying that means she's incapable of doing committed relationship is just a dumb stretch. She's been a committed friend to both her BFF's for more than half her life and has many official works to support that.
Being easy to ship with everyone =/= lady killer who is incapable of being on a relationship.
>>2009851
This is my personal pet peeve as well and why I find it difficult the support KotoUmi. Fanon likes to treat Honkers like a burden to the ship to those two. I find it out of character for both Kotori and Umi to just toss Honoka away like that.
>>2009814
>most of the time KotoUmi end up hating each other
Gonna need a awesome sauce for that.
Most OT3 I've read are either polyamorous, don't turn Kotori and Umi into spiteful, vindictive bitches or generally two girls showing their affection for one girl.
Unless you're talking about the Second Years yandere fics which is an entirely different ballgame. Yandere Kotori would remove all her rivals.
>>2010081
> easy to ship with everyone
> any of the ship would be great
Anon, have you ever wondered why Honk's ship is so average in popularity? Even MakiRinPana is more popular than HonoKotoUmi.
I don't mean she is unable to commit to her friendship, but to be in a relationship she has to treat her partner with certain degree of privilege to make it feels special. Having her shouldering everyone with love doesn't help that.
Not saying being genki and bright as she is a bad per se, but she is just not material for a great ship.
>>2010089
Not that anon. While I agrees that there is no such thing as Kotori and Umi being spriteful, vindictive bitches, there are plenty ones with latter case showing up. Actually it's not that far off from canon, but doesn't mean it doesn't leave bad taste.
A while back Soramaru caused a small stir when fans noticed that she had set the Sakkaku CROSSROADS promo Maki as her face card in SIF... and also that she was using the Honoka Oshi badge, which suggested that she supports Honoka.
The more likely cause for it would have been that she had just cleared the rank 110 assignment for the Honoka badge, as she once said Kotori is her favorite but the Kotori badge assignment only comes at rank 112.
Either way, as Soramaru's recent White Day screenshot shows, she's changed her badge to Maki. If we squint, her rank does indeed seem to be 114, where the assignment to unlock this badge appears.

>Honk's ship is so average in popularity
Huh?
As far as the shipping goes, Honoka harem is very easy to find
>>2010122
>Honk's ship
>average in popularity
With Chika coming in on LL Sunshine, you are soooo gonna eat those words.
I swear, I will sacrifice my HonoTsuba headcanon just to get you!
>>2010122
What?
KotoHonoUmi is the most popular ot3.
So HonoKotoUmi hate each other apparently but the two characters whose entire relationship is nothing but arguing and throwing out sarcastic jabs to each other is the most popular ship, canon and also true love. (and is also the only ship that gets anything translated for it)
Okay LL fandom.
Why do people get so bothered about shipping preferences? regardless of personal feeling, the author, company and lyricist are clearly going for an angle about stablished pairings. You are still welcome to ship whatever you want.
>>2010287
Go learn japanese if it bothers you so much then.

>NicoMaki
>Opposite attracts (Maki: rich, naive, competent vs Nico: not well-off, experienced, average at everything)
>Both are not honest with their feelings (basically Tsundere)
>Both have sides which they dont usually show to others
Geezz, its like everything the Nips like in one package. I wonder why the doujins keep writing themselves.
>>2010122
>Even MakiRinPana is more popular than HonoKotoUmi.
The MakiRinPana tag has a bit more image results than HonoKotoUmi does on pixiv, but when searching for yuri with the tag HonoKotoUmi seems a bit more popular. So shows people like to draw 1st years together a little more but actually ship them less.
>>2010293
>Plenty of OT3 doujins shows Honoka as the singular target of affection.
I mean some of those do exist for sure, but they're been quite a few not showing it like that.
>>2010183
>Soramaru supporting her ship
She is the best.
>>2002549
>>2002203
I've gotta say that I like Anime Nico more since she provides a great foil and has the whole Jerk With A Heart of Gold thing going on. Also, her mom is Sailor Moon.
Best Onee-sama.
>>2008522
This is my headcanon too, actually. OT9 for life.
>>2010122
Gotta love how you sidestep the point made about how Honkers can't commit to a relationship (and how stupid that statement is) and instead use dubious statistics to subtly denigrate Honkers and her various ships. Its not even relevant because that all comes down to personal preference.
Also I call bull on Honk's not making great material for shipping. Any good writing can make a ship great if you highlight the positives and see how they work together. That why I enjoy the SID chapters as it highlights these aspects and how µ's are close to each other.
And if you want an good example of fanon doing this, Inuzuka Bourou sold me on the HonoMaki ship when I didn't even care about it before.
As someone who just got into the franchise this week. All this arguing has me curious as to what the most popular ships are. I hear Maki/Nico is really popular but S1 doesn't really have any evidence.
>>2011499
You can check ラブライブ!のカップリングタグ一覧 this on pixiv wiki. It has all the pairing and tags you need if you want to find fanart/doujin.
Most popular: NicoMaki, NozoEli, EliUmi, RinPana, RinMaki, HonoKoto.
Some of the fuels for those ships don't come from anime but from side materials: SID, SIF, manga...etc..
>>2011499
That's because there wasn't much NicoxMaki in season 1. And the NicoxMaki shippers noticed. That got fixed for Season 2 which gave them even more scenes together. Amusingly, it was the new fans who got confused this time, since they didn't know NicoxMaki was a thing even before the anime.
>>2011506
>HonoKoto
Last I checked, HonoUmi was the most popular.
>>2011567
Umi with everyone is actually popular than kotori/honoka with everyone.
>>2011599
My bad. Messed up a bit.
NicoMaki and NozoEri popularity far surpass other pairings by quite a gap though. RinPana is quite popular over there, but I don't know why we don't see much work for these two translated over here.
NozoNico used to be one of Nico and Nozomi's flag ship, but the NicoMaki and NozoEli explosion has cast this ship into oblivion. Just so you know it exists, since almost all the artists who used to draw NozoNico now draw NozoEli.
>>2011601
What?
>>2011499
It isn't too bad this week but there are days when I wish the Mods implemented a zero tolerance approach to shipping wars.
>>2011567
>Last I checked, HonoUmi was the most popular.
Um, what? It has less results than KotoUmi by a good bit & far bit of the stuff tagged for it with was OT3 art rather than the pairing.
Plus it seems a lot less popular than Kotoumi or Kotohono among fans I've talked to.
>>2011599
>Kotoumi -> Honoumi > Kotohono
It's more like Kotoumi -> Kotohono >= Honoumi for popularity.
>>2011671
Plenty of NozoEli artists still draw NozoNico sometimes.
When the fuck is Mushiyaki's NozoNico stuff going to get translated anyway

RinPana is high because all RinPanaMaki images are also tagged as RinPana.I don't like OT3s. Pairs are good, but 3 people are too much.

Japan agrees that she's rinpana's daughter, though or you could say kotoeli's.

What's your headcanon for what the girls do in the future?
I'm thinking that μ's rises from the ashes after everyone graduates as a pro idol group or band to continue their success.
>>2012422
While waiting for graduation, Tsubasa invited Honoka to join Arise for a little while but Kotori and Umi revolted against her attempts of monopolizing their leader

I'm not good with metaphors, and it was the first really big thing I could think of. At least I didn't use the Titanic.

And how does brunette and orange give you grey?
>>2012457
Sunrise's idea? Honoka doesn't look like You at all. You is more likely a tomboy Hanayo.
>>2012463
You has blue eyes just like Honoka.
>>2012465
So is Eli and You has Eli's main color.
>>2012428
kotoumi v2 looking good.
>>2012422
I'm still kind of confused as to what they do after the film anyway. Like, does Nico just give up on being an idol? Do the new 2nd and 3rd year trios make their own idol groups? If not do they just quit the idol club?
Also have some rarepair
>>2012570
Maki's likely going to inherit her parent's hospital while Kotori would get ahead in her fashion design career.
It just feels depressing to see the group apart. I think it was thanks to the shitty drama and making the anime coincide with the VA's contract expiring.
>>2012637
I'm not talking about after school finishes, I mean what do they do for the rest of their school years.
>>2012680
I'm not really sure. They would probably lend a hand in teaching Yukiho and Arisa to become idols. Maybe Honoka, Umi and Kotori would form a small unit for the rest of their time at school, likewise for Maki, Rin & Hanayo.
Meanwhile, the graduates will probably go to college while Nico at least goes to strike out on her own as an idol.
>>2012350
Two is good but three is a crowd.
>>2012422

The girls all graduate and realize that their non-μ's futures are absolute shit AND their attempts to reunite are foiled by the pro idol industry being garbage. Together, they form an idol-themed gang and start a criminal takeover of Japan, waging war against the Yakuza, the police and idol industry while juggling their complicated, polyamourous relationship.Pitch for Saints Row V: Love Dead!
