The Love Live franchise is one that contains a lot of different themes and motifs that it carries over and develops from season to season, and it’s latest iteration Nijigasaki Gakuen School Idol Doukoukai AKA NijiGaku is no exception. Although separate from the mainline story, it still manages to hold true to the spirit of the franchise, and as it follows the journey of Takasaki Yuu and her goal of finding her dream, it’s easily a perfect continuation of the series!

It actually made the video more emotional
Here's my theory:
2020 - Nijigasaki Season 1
2021 - Superstar Season 1
2022 - Nijigasaki Season 2
2023 - Nijigasaki Movie, Superstar Season 2
2024 - Superstar Movie, New Series S1
2025 (LL's 15th anniversary) - New Series S2
Can we just admit that the Giant Kasumin Box Doll is worthy of being a wonder of the world?
Nijigasaki probably has to be the best Love Live! group in history.
They only started as a side project, but then unexpectedly, they got an anime.
The Nijigasaki girls are following those miracles right now over the rainbow because they are the group which started as a side project and then got an anime, they are truly a bond together.
I can say that these girls get better at their songs as time goes by with their history and legacy growing better and better, especially when all the members have such good personalities.
They were supposed to be a group of 9, but nope, there was a 10th member in All Stars which was Shioriko Mifune, that's what then made their legacy grow even bigger.
The miracles that they have created greet us with such a great future ahead all of us, which I can say is brilliant.
They are just 9 or 10 since Shioriko joined ordinary girls which are solo idols together which makes their own path a success.
They are always excited to run anytime on that path they have desired for all the time in their dreams and that is what makes them a great group.
These girls will forever carry on a legacy to Love Live! indeed. I wonder what the future has stored for them, it must be all a mystery!
They will forever still make miracles come true and I believe that's what makes them so special for them to believe in anything.
I love that they continued to break all the LoveLive norms that would cause them to look unoriginal/muse copycats 😭 I also think that they're the best and most unique LoveLive group as of now but I'm definitely not closing my doors on LoveLive superstar.
There will be 12
There is twelve in total with the addition of Shioriko Mifune, Lanzhu Zhong, and Mia Taylor.
Finally! A Love Live! Nijigasaki School Idol Club analysis
I will love this kind of content and the franchise forever
I saw this theory (in the form of a Pepe Sylvia meme) saying "μ's won the love live and saved the school but disbanded, Aqours kept their group going and won the love live even after their school closed, so therefore Niji's group should be fine as well as the school, but they won't win the love live." Exactly as predicted.
The fact that "Yuu" is us makes it even better
Eh? Watashi?
Who? Me?
Love live Nijigasaki is based on a game Love live all stars and Yuu is potrayed like "us" the one who's playing the game.
The only thing we need right now is the character analysis for every member of nijigasaki school idol club
I really wish this wasn’t just a spin-off. Nijigasaki is such a great group with a lot of bangers. Hoping for a season 2!
We're getting it this April 2022
we got it, and it was amazing
im not a big fan of season 1, but goddamn season 2 was amazing af
I love your ability to be able to open our eyes to the deeper meanings behind these shows and make people like me lose count on how many times Ive rewatched these animes
Thanks for the analysis
Take care and love ya, ya reader
You just explained perfectly why Nijigasaki is my favorite series in the love live franchise! I know a lot of people don’t like it because it’s different than u’s and Aqours, but from the start, Nijigasaki was about embracing your individual self while supporting those you love- sure they won’t compete in the Love Live, but they created something much more accessible to others that want to know about school idols. Basically, I love each and every once of these girls and found it refreshing each one had a different method and reason on why they wanted to be school idols!
That is why I love this franchise so much, they already changed my life drastically I just can't imagine life without love live
Although, this f*cking episode makes me cry like a little child. It also makes me laugh, makes me dance and sing (almost literally) and makes me feel that I can do whatever I want, but especially remembered me how it was when I saw the first season of love live.
As a younger, there were times when I didn't know what to do for my life, what to do to don't disappoint others or things like that, but u's, especially Honoka, gives me, as Yuu, something to support and a goal to chase after. When Ayumu said that they support us, as we support them, I remember those moments when I wanted to do my best to buy something to support them or to come back home and see an episode and hear those songs that were the best supports that I can have. I'm really glad with this episode and with love live as a franchise, for all the things that they give us as fans.
PS. Good video man
I would also argue that black, being the absence of light, makes the rainbow shines brighter.
Can't spell rainbow without W 🌈
Now to wait for S2. 🧂
I loved that this was the episode with most references to other aspects of the franchise, and even the seiyuus. There's a lot of details, and this is just starting, can't wait for season 2.
Great video Wat!
I really like how not all of them referred to each other with "-chan" unlike the other groups. It just shows that even though they get along, they're still not an actual group.
Not everyone in Aqours called each other -Chan. There was a whole episode about it
True, but not everyone in Aqours called each other by "-chan". Remember the whole "Dia-chan" episode?
Not to mention some members like Kanan and Yoshiko are more casual, addressing others by name only without any suffix.
And Mari I think.
I love Nijigaku, it managed to surpass School Idol Project which I thought wouldn't be possible.
I will always love the “Love Live” franchise with my heart, but in my opinion “Love Live Nijigasaki” hit different like the anime made me cry, laugh, dance, and even made me wanted to sing this anime inspired me many ways, I really love “Nijigasaki” their music is really inspiring if you can understand what they singing or you read the translations in the language you understand the best. Even if Nijigasaki never gets Season 2 or an OVA I will always love the anime and it will always be a legendary anime in the franchise. I really love how they changed up the animation style and even gave each girl an episode and I’m glad they experimented with the show too. Cause I think the show was good start of 2020 even if everyone cried about the anime not using the style used in LLSIP and LLS.
Well, it's 2022, and the 2nd season of Love Live! Nijigasaki is currently airing. Now's your chance to catch up what you've missed out before. (Also, there's Shioriko, Lanzhu and Mia in this new season, hoping to see R3BIRTH in the anime)
In the llsifas episodes, Yuu is the smartest character.
Im crying again, thank you Nijigasaki girls.
"It was Yuu/you who support them"
Me: eeh? Watashi!?
*Y o u s o r o*
*points at me aggressively*
*insert picture of You (watanabe) pointing at herself*
It was YOU that's what i understood lol
i still think it's incredible how this anime was able to delve into all of these amazing characters in detail and distinguish what makes them unique while simultaneously moving the main plot along and keeping them what feels like the most tightly-knit group of the series so far. the danger of having so many main characters is of course that some will get more time spent on them than others. and yet nijigaku's approach of exploring each individual idol in their own episode kicks this in the shins all while never losing sight of the overarching plot in favour of exploring character instead. the individual idol focus is also great in the sense of the "rivals but friends" theme, which helps to bring them closer together in a way that i feel a group couldn't do in the same way.
This reminded me of how I made up a chunk of text a while ago relating to how I find the image colours in Nijigasaki personally most effective for me. Others may have already done this, but basically I just find their colours to reflect their personalities and how they present themselves really well? For example, Ayumu's pink showing her femininity and Setsuna's passionate red. This, of course can be applied to past groups as well but for them, it just hits harder lol. Also, not to mention: The second years' image colours being hot colours and third years' being cool colours was a nice detail I found.
P.S. Though, the way how you worded Yu's color being black sort of got me feeling emotional, haha. It was just so detailed and meaningful.
I only realized Rina's color being white because of her blank face but yeah, every color fits each of the girls so well
@@AnuelleCheng it really does! i'm happy they decided to apply the colour meanings more onto nijigasaki :)
Absolutely loved the vid! Feels like a nice finishing touch to end the series on to start the wait for for an S2.
I really like how you covered each episode and now the season in this video. You did great explaining all the crucial stuff and themes of this anime.
Everyone Ask To Seasons 2, but Never Ask The Ova...
I just start crying again when we get to Rina drawing a smile on her reflection.
(I've remarked elsewhere that I have come to view Rina's portrayal as important disability representation and the Rina-chan Board as a great example of adaptive technology.)
Yuu is the right wholesome definition of us Love Live fans. She supports everyone the best they can just like how we expect our idols to be in front of a concert. I even love how the creators guesses each part of our love for love Live and put that as Yuu's character. I can imagine how awesome it must be for Yuu's VA and eng VA to act like. Especially if one of them is a big idol fan too. Must be pretty happy and excited that she existed.
For Shizuku, she totally brought me home. She's very relatable to me because we both have very similarities: We both love theater, loves singing, take things too seriously and feels left out, and her love for Shakespeare..
That's what I love about this anime. Every character is relatable and it's exciting to see that they can be like real life people
I’ve liked all Love Live shows but this is by far the most entertaining one imo I’m going to miss watching it every week
Never thought someone could make philosophical vid on love live
Edit: this vid is amazing
broo I haven't even finished sunshine and now there's so many Nijigasaki vids 😭
I’m so glad you did a nijigasaki review because I love this show SOOOO MUCHHH and your way with words always manages to articulate how I feel perfectly
Yu is the real Honk-chan and Chika of Nijigasaki and it seems a lot of people don't even realize it. She like the aforementioned is inspired by a idol performance to become an idol. Yu instead wanted to support idols. Which ties her down to us. She is our surrogate after all. We love waifu idols and are satisfied merely from watching. Although Rina is much closer to home for me. We're both deadpan and quiet. We both tend to be alone and play some video games. A lot of people know nothing about me except for the fact that I play video games. I don't require a emoji board I can and do emote and I'm not a kawaii hot waifu. So Rina is a better me. Kasumin is the funniest character in the franchise bar none. Yandere Ayumu has one of the best arcs and I absolutely love her yanderee expression especially the eyes. Love Live Nijigasaki is really good. I amso love how it concluded on the last Saturday of 2020 such serendipity right there. I want a second season especially for Rina-chan board anything. It's funny no matter what Rina adds to it.
I just absolutely love this video. This is the first time I've seen a youtuber talk about Love Live so passionately and logically. Something about this really touches my heart
Bravo! Thanks for this ~
It's painful for me to watch after the news came out that Tomori going to leave Nijigasaki. Ever since joining university, i always struggle to find what my dream is and it got me into feeling depressed. When i found Nijigasakj, it's the only thing that keeping me moving forward.
I only been a fan of Nijigasaki for just a year and now the news that Tomori going to leave made me cry hard. It made me question if i can really move forward without this group.
Shii---- i wanna cry while watching this, i miss this season so bad, the time when my life was still happy after knowing them, the time when everything was still fine UGHHHHHHH!!!
Oh wow, this is a really good analysis!
...
..ah, since I’m here, guess I’ll tell you something I noticed, eh.
So uh, the last scene of NEO SKY, NEO MAP(The ending song, where they all look at the rainbow)
That rainbow. If you look closely, you can see the black color(near the rim of the red color in the rainbow, somewhat in the top right)
So, I think it relates to how Yu is always behind those rainbow colors, supporting them and making them shine brighter
...or the black color is just there and I’m over analyzing things.
Also, NEO SKY NEO MAP made more sense and hit harder after seeing their stories...
But man that ending tho when yuu starting talking about the journey bro it like she told us the meaning of love live i think lol
Somehow i manage to tear up and almost cry...
Beautiful love live season as always
This was by far my favorite Love Live series to date, an easy personal favorite, and perhaps my 3rd favorite idol-themed series behind the likes of OG Idolm@ster and Symphogear (yes, people, Symphogear actually quite idol-themed, just a lot of fighting against aliens and gods and shit lul).
I really enjoyed pretty much everything from this show. The solo idol setup (instead of the usual group idol format), the progression and handling of the story and the drama, the characters along with their personalities evenly distributed development and realization, their performances and the symbolism and subtleties behind them, the amazing CGI work that gives Houseki no Kuni a huge run for the money (I'd personally say it's even better, tbh), the cinematography, etc.
(May I also note? They all wearing different attires in the group performance instead of wearing all the same uniform. Nicely done ;D)
I found the ensemble cast a lot more memorable than the OG School Idol cast, tbh, and found favorites in Rina, Setsuna, and Karin. But they're all equally endearing. As for Ayumu, while I can get people hating her, I can't see that much justification for such negative feelings regarding her, cause I've seen many FAR, FAR worse examples of actual toxic mindsets. Yuu despite being technically a supporting character and not being part of the idol lineup, still got quite a lot of spotlight in terms of her own character work. Her kind of role somewhat reminds me of that of the Producer guy from the OG IdolM@ster, no lies.
This series does have its imperfections here and there, but it's honestly one of the best shows from 2020, from my personal perspective. Hope this gets a second season, and based on the final scenes, there's a VERY feasible chance of that happening in the near future, thankfully.
Symphogear is idol meets Nanoha... Life needs more laser shooting singing magic idols XD
Symphogear actually got better as the seasons passed.
That last song was great, though. I liked this analysis. Nijigasaki is a very interesting look at this franchise. I will say, even though this isn't about the last episode, that improv skit with Kasumin, Setsuna, and Shizuku was one of the greatest things I've seen.
*Here's my theory:*
2020 - Nijigasaki Season 1
2021 - Superstar Season 1
2022 - Nijigasaki Season 2, Superstar Season 2
2023 - Nijigasaki Movie, Superstar Movie
2024 - New Series S1
2025 (LL's 15th anniversary) - New Series S2
2026 - New Series Movie
Have to move superstar season 2 to 2022
*Ai Miyashita:* Geez, is hard to say goodbye after all we been through this season... At least we are saying goodbye for a reason, Karin just left Emma yesterday for nothing. Karin left a note to Emma on the fridge saying "This isn't working, goodbye" What a liar! I opened the fridge and it's working just fine...
You get it? IM FUNNY!
It was always been YUU, Ai, YOU and AiYuuMu.
This video has convinced me to get into the series
God damn mang u should get so many subs, thz amount of effort u place in your vids r just amazing a'd K love it. Can't wait to watch your superstars breakdown. Keep up the amazing work mang
Love live nijigasaki is one of best love live series
I still remember what was my first impression when I saw Nijigaku (aka PDP back in the days) in september 2017....
"Who tf are they?"
"Aqours is still young, we don't need a 3rd gen wtf PLEASE NO"
Now look at what they've become... Yuu wasn’t supposed to exist and the anime wasn’t originally planned. They're not as legendary as µ's, they're not as inspiring as Aqours but they're inspiring in their own way. They truly deserve to be a part of Love Live. The anime was the best LL anime imo. Also the seiyuus... I don't even know what to say about them, they deserve your respect.
Didn't know I was in Love Live
POG
Emma did continue the legacy of Kotori and You with that photobomb.
Photobomb is a must for the pure girl. I bet Tan Kuku will be the one that doing this kind of things in Liella lol
Whenever you say "It was Yu" feels like you're saying "It was us" supporting love live from muse till today
Im not crying 😢😢😢 ur crying 😭😭😭😭😭
Evangelion

You ruined it
Lmao 🤣
My friends are so tired of me sending them these videos,love live songs and making them watch episodes with me
With something like Love Live, I thought I would eventually got over the series as a man in his mid 20s. But thanks to Nijigasaki (and some recent Aqours content), I'm digging deeper into this idol hell. Now, as opposed to just getting merch of specific members, now I want all 9 members, especially my favorite pun master and favorite nerd.
I get that now they probably want to focus on Liella (which I'm also excited for) but with the game's Season 2 still ongoing, I hope that they will make an anime Season 2, adding in the new characters. Hell, or even some songs as a crossover between the 5 groups. Can't forget about Saint Snow, who are still not in game.
I loved the Nijigaku anime since it came out and gave me encouragement during a time of uncertainty in my life, but I've always been a bit disappointed on how Shioriko, the primary antagonist who joins the club at the end, was completely written out of the story.
Me cry, me leave like on video
Yuu is my Fav LL girl
Kanata best girl
Bruh I just got into this a few weeks ago & I already feel stressed out
We will have to wait for a second season.But for now,I we are waiting for the Superstar series.When are we getting a second season?I wonder if its going to be late 2021 or early 2022?Considering that Sunshine ended in 2017 then took a break in 2018 and then returned in early 2019.
You don't suppose Nijigasaki will have a full-length movie after its two-season run?
Both Muse and Aqours had movies of their own after two seasons, so I figured maybe Nijigasaki (and later Liella) will follow up with them in the future.
Well, Superstar just started and Nijigasaki would have its second season premiered next year. Plus, maybe Superstar might have its second season thereafter.
Here's my theory:
2020 - Nijigasaki Season 1
2021 - Superstar Season 1
2022 - Nijigasaki Season 2
2023 - Nijigasaki Movie, Superstar Season 2
2024 - Superstar Movie, New Series S1
2025 (LL's 15th anniversary) - New Series S2
@@revinhatol Maybe they should have one of Nico Yazawa's sisters to form a new generation of Muse
Superstar Season 3 confirmed shortly after the end of S2!
Can you make a love live superstar one?
Will there be a season 2 for this anime?
Second season here we come?
Are you going to continue the Weeaboo club for the next season. Please do, I can't wait for you guys to talk about anime
how many time did u cry?
But there was a season 2?
hey sorry if i’m annoying or anything but are you even gonna make a video on rin?
I'm just going to make a theory here.
So,
Muse left a feather behind
Aqours dyed that feather blue
Nijigaku will turn that feather
r a i n b o w
Liella will spread the rainbow to the stars.
It was "Yuu"
I'm surprised he hasn't made a Zombieland Saga review/analysis yet despite the numerous Love Live vids made, since some would call it one of the best idol anime to date
Rings true
Holy based
Truth be told,,, Niji LL really just felt very off for me.
Being here since Muse... I admit that it was magical. The sound, the music, the stage... The group interactions and all and the interaction within their sub-units it really felt... together... (ok I really don't know what word to use)
Coming to Niji LL I was expecting for another similar experience with Muse and Aquours but... That was only in the last episode. It felt like there was no Start:Dash moment nor Snow Halation moment. It just felt empty.
On the other hand... I was fine with Idolm@ster when they were focusing on the respective characters and their goals and interactions between the members... Maybe because I knew that im@s was more focused on the individual members as opposed to how Muse and Aquours were... The latter franchise being the group and the sub-unit. That's why Niji LL really felt out of place for me
Don't get me wrong. I did enjoy Niji LL though it really felt out of place for me.
I'll still continue to watch Niji LL S2 when it comes out. Maybe they'll have Chihaya KIsaragi or Haruka Amami arcs? Word on the grape vine is that Karin Asaka did something which created an uproar in the game? Maybe that might be the equivalent to the 2 iconic arcs in Idolm@ster? Perhaps.
To say Niji LL carries on the Love Live Legacy... I don't think I can truthfully answer that right now... I might need to rewatch this video again and your Love Live series to better understand Niji LL
Although... I must say... If Niji LL is able to match or surpass the beach train station scene, than maybe... that will convince me that Niji LL does, in essence... did not continue Love Live's legacy but shows why it is Love Live... Standing together with Muse, Aquours and the blessings of Honoka of Space and Time
P. S. Karin Asaka, Yu and Setsuna Ai needs to be a sub unit and have a show down with Guilty Kiss and the Soldier Game girls XD... Fight me!
I wouldn't be surprised if you feel it that way. Both muse and aqours have clear shared goal - being the champion of lovelive and they fight for that goal as a team. The route is clear with a clear end. That's why there are the start dash and snow halation moments. On the other hand, niji is a loose organization with a less clear goal. Therefore they are more similar to imas. However, each imas has 26 episodes to tell a story while niji has only 13. So there should be a second season. Btw I think one reason they have only 5 members in the super star project might be a storyline easier to control.
@@gundamjack24
I am looking forward to S2. Since similar to Im@s, the meat of things came after the first cour with it peaking at Chihaya KIsaragi.
I really enjoyed Im@s more than the Cinderella Girls series... I only continued till the end with CindieGirls because of Rin Shibuya, Anastasia, Nitta Minami and Mika Jougasaki
Same. Difference is that I wasn't too much of a fan of OG idolm@ster. So I liked the concept even less here.
im not done with watching liella but i wonder how that portraits
wish this channel was still around so he was aobut to talk about it
It was me?
bro i want a season 2 but it looks like we aren't getting that :/

Please tell me where I said it’s the conclusion to the love live legacy
Oh, it said continues not concludes WELP, Now I’m pissed
The music didn't help that much "is fine with her" is still scuffed

Lovely 😍💋 💝💖❤️
Love Live sucks. Call me when they can beat Goku
Whatthewho
Nijigaski was a huge disappointment for me. No center, minimal group dynamic, just 9 solo idols. They just hang out together they don’t work together.
Please actually watch the video
I did.
Aquors copied muse and rina copied marshmallow lol 😂
Love live nijigasaki is one of best love live series
