For a while now, idols have become popular in Japan. While I enjoy Idolmaster 2 and One for All on the Playstation 3, Bandai Namco decides to make the jump to the Playstation 4. They announced The Idolmaster Platinum Stars on the franchise’s 10th anniversary live concert and released in July of 2016. It improves on the graphics drastically while introducing new gameplay. The question is, does it live up to the hype.

As expected, the girls managed to pass the preliminary rounds of Love Live. Meanwhile, Kanan and Mari finds out that Dia is acting funny.
…
Now the girls received a second chance, does this mean that the girls can do both the primaries and open house? Not really since Mari receives some more bad news.
…
Now that the girls heard the bad news, they decide to move forward.

While Aqours didn’t qualify for nationals from last time, they managed to attract 10 perspective students. Sadly, Mari have bad news to reveal to everyone.

Since its inception, Love Live School Idol Project have grown into a very popular idol-genre franchise. It garnered a lot of fans around the world with its story of a group of girls banding together to save their school through singing. Love Live Sunshine focuses on the successors of Muse, Aqours. Does it live up to the original series? Let’s find out.

Kai of Deluscar here reporting for duty. I’m here to wage idol war against Chikorita since I know he’s an idolm@ster guy. As I’m on the Love Live camp, unfortunately we will always be in opposition. Here’s my mission today, to infiltrate Chikorita’s blog and to spread the influence of Love Live from within an enemy base. Guerrilla warfare 101.
Before I go on though, I will admit I like both im@s and Love Live a lot. However it took me a rewatch for the former to appreciate it more, which I think was poor timing on my part. When I was watching im@s, I was still in the process of opening up to more genres, and marathoning it didn’t help either. The idol anime genre was definitely one genre I was pretty lukewarm to when I first came across it. As much as I love im@s now, it didn’t springboard me into an idol anime fan when I first watched it. So what did? Well, Love Live.
Watching Love Live allow me to see the bigger picture in idol anime, something which im@s never accomplished. So with this alone, Love Live pretty much won a lot of points for me. But additionally, despite being the same genre, both just have incredibly different settings with different appeals.

It has been a few years since I shared my thoughts on idol anime and why they are popular. While looking at some discussions on Love Live! Sunshine!! on anime forums, I realized how similar idol anime is to sports anime. With that, I will share some thoughts on what aspects makes these genres feel similar.

…
Chika and the others found out why Dia gave up being a school idol. However, there is another part of the story that is missing.
…
It seems that Chika is in for a nasty surprise that will upset her.
…
After recording and uploading the promotional video, it seems that Aquors gained popularity quickly. Chika is now excited after receiving an invitation to perform in Tokyo.
…
It seems that Ruby heard some bad news. Is this the biggest opportunity Chika was waiting for to get the final three members on board?
…
It seems that Yoshiko wants to get rid of her Yohane identity. Well, she hasn’t realized that she can’t simply get rid of it.
…
Now that Mari has approved the club, it seems that Ruby wants to join. Will she convince Hanamaru to join as well?
…
Now that Chika managed to convince Riko to join, how will she get past Dia? Mari has an answer.
…
Chika fights on as she continues to ask Riko to join, even if she refuses.
…
It seems that Chika has a dream, but it seems harder than it looks.

Now that Thanksgiving is over, 2015 is almost coming to a close. With that, it’s time to focus on the plans I have in store along with my thoughts on the recent announcement regarding Love Live.

Back in 2011, Namco Bandai decided to make an anime of a popular idol video game called The Idolmaster. It is basically an idol raising game where the player manages and produce idols for a talent agency named 765 Productions. The show was well received although it had some flaws.
Since then, Namco has been expanding the franchise by expanding in the mobile space with Cinderella Girls and the other being Million Live, which has yet to receive an adaptation. Cinderella Girls features a new and growing cast of idols with a small percentage of those receiving voices from idol elections. When an anime adaptation has been announced, it makes me wonder how they will make a show with such a huge cast aside from the thirteen girls in the main group. Let’s find out.
