Since the Fall season last year was quite busy, I didn’t quite finish the anime for the third generation of Love Live.

As expected, instead of doing the whole save the school thing, Nijigasaki High School Idol Club finally shake things up with focus on the individual idols. Not only that, the main character also isn’t a school idol at all. With that, does it live up to the previous generations? Let’s find out.

It’s obvious that Kanon has crippling stage flight.

Shibuya Kanon loves to sing. She really wanted to get into the music program at Yuigaoka Girls High School. However, something happens that causes her to become upset.

Note: As expected, there was a long delay since there is a deal that results in this show releasing a 1-2 days later. We will only share my thoughts on the episode when the episode officially comes out.

It’s that time of year again as every year, I always do the 12 Days of Anime thing every year. This year has been a particularly rough year. Instead of talking about some of the depressing aspects of the year such as Covid19 delaying anime and Aniplex USA shutting down the English server for Magia Record, I want to keep things positive.

Yes, it’s true! We are doing another 12 days of more Yuri pairings like we did in 2018. After all, despite what is going on this year, the yuri pairings did not disappoint at all. Of course, they are in no particular order.

Love Live School Idol Paradise (All Volumes) – Final Review

November 17, 2017 by Chikorita157 Leave a Comment
Artist: さすらい

I have to admit that idol anime can be fun to watch. While it’s obvious that I like The Idolmaster a lot more, Love Live is enjoyable as well despite the music is not my cup of tea. When Dingo, who developed the Project Diva games on the PlayStation Portable, announced Love Live School Idol Paradise, it interests me. While it faced a few delays, does it live up to expectations? Maybe not and I will explain why you should probably skip this game and keep playing Love Live School Idol Festival instead.
