I have been part of Love Live long enough to see it be a single series that had conclusion, into becoming Idol Pretty Cure. Even LLAS can be compared to Pretty Cure All Stars on a basic level.
I have quite the mixed feelings about this. Never did I expect Love Live to go Dr. Who/Precure/etc style and make new spinoffs & sequels every 2 years. I didn't know Disney owned Sunrise.
Anyway, can't wait for yearly Love Live spinoffs. Can hardly wait.
(i'll give it the benefit of the doubt. I do love Love Live, after all.)

True, but with the way it looks, I’m not sure what happens if Superstar doesnt receive the same sort of favorable reception as the previous LL series. I do see where future plans for Nijigasaki won’t necessarily be obstructed, but regardless of the info stated, the former doesn’t really feel much like a spinoff. In fact, if anything, Superstar feels more like the actual spinoff than the 3rd main continuation.
the thing anime main staff who also produce u's and aqours anime are indeed on Superstar instead. Nijigasaki anime use different staff from 2 previous anime. the fact that Superstar willl come back to group idol route (they already have group name, Liella) unlike Nijigasaki which choose solo idol route.

Wait what? Another Love Live series? Aren't they doing Love Live Nijigasaki right now?
Love Live Sunshine wasn't even made until after the original Love Live series ended....You'd think they'd focus on the Nijigasaki series first but instead, they're moving on to the next idol group? Is that how they're approaching this?

Even with this announcement, I do believe Nijigasaki will still get a s2, but it’ll be a while if so. Remember how it took the previous LL series just over a year for their respective sequels and movies. Depends on how committed that team working on it is, though, as it IS based off ongoing game content.
Nijigasaki more like spin-off than 3rd gen because of cooperation with Bushiroad, it is not originally planned to have anime like u's and Aqours. Superstar is true 3rd gen of Love Live. Nijigasaki will be still running even with Superstar coming to the scene.

Never would I had thought one of the VA to be Native Chinese. Great to see some more diversities especially from my hometown :)

Gotta agree,that these characters designs are weird - something is just off about them. Contracting a chinese VA is a bold move, could they be targeting chinese auditory with this? Because i don't think japanese fans would like it.
Liyuu is very popular animanga cosplayer, her twitter already has 545k followers. She already has Japanese agencu which is Horipro and Japanese music label which is Lantis
also she already released to japanese song for anime OP and ED
Magic Words for Hatena Illusion OP
Carpe・Diem for I'm Standing on a Million Lives ED

So niji isn't getting a season 2?

I got in love live trap 3 years ago :)

I'm looking forward to it!
I really love Nijigaku and for this one, i hope it reaches my liking.

As a love live series fan, I'll see what this 3rd gen has to offer.
With Aqours still active and Niji being high and coming, it will be hard to avoid a lot of critics...

Also, those character designs look weird as hell. Nijigasaki actually looks good and a bit original but 3 of the characters here looks like budget Honoka, Budget You and Budget Kanan.
Iirc, LL! Superstar actually was announced first before nijigaku anime was decided.. i can be wrong tho, (so correct me if I'm wrong).
And NijiGaku itself, although still under the love live wings, they're completely separate. Their timeline is also isn't the same with the main love live. Nijigaku itself is actually a spin off.. actually, to be frank, they're a side project after all.
As for the characters design, they're actually trying to implement a new artstyle iirc. Hence why you might find it a bit weird

Oh boi the characters design looks... THICC.. maybe I'll give it a shot.

Looking forward to it! Liyuu, Keke's seiyuu, has a great voice. Will probably be a while until I can pick a favorite girl but Sumire and Ren i'm leaning towards the most rn

I'll give this an episode or two to see how good the voice acting and singing are.

New Love Live anime. Totally looking forward to it.

They will definitely up their Yuri game. I mean they teased NicoxMaki, then actually ship MakixKanan, and now they basically went full yuri with YuxAyumu
Kanan x Mari?

Yes, but I think this one will break a little from the formula so it is the less not welcome love live in my opnion
