oh yes~ doki-doki sunshine~ what's going on here, chum Welcome to the new era of Love Live! Previously in the franchise, the nine girls of µ's saved school idols forever after participating in like three Love Lives in a row. Now we move to Numazu city, Shizuoka prefecture, to Uranohoshi Girls' High School, an out-of-the-way place with ordinary girls like Chika Takami. One day, she finds herself inspired by µ's, and gains the desire to shine just like they were able to - but can she find others to chase this dream with!? Check out the PV here: https://youtu.be/Sbz9EeyUOIs who are these girls They're the members of Aqours, and they're aiming for Love Live! Quick rundown:  Chika Takami (voiced by Anju Inami) Our orange-haired optimistic and energetic leader. Not a Honoka clone. Youngest of three sisters, and a big fan of µ's. Dorky punlord. Second-year. Image color: Orange.  Riko Sakurauchi (voiced by Rikako Aida) Recently moved to the area; transfer student from Otonokizaka. Reserved but prone to not maintaining it well. Second-year. Afraid of dogs. Image color: Watermelon pink.  You Watanabe (voiced by Shuka Saito) One of Chika's classmates and a diver whose skill is good enough for national level. Desires to follow in the footsteps of her father, a ferry captain. Second-year. The best friend anyone could ask for and the captain of the good ship Seventeen Girlfriends. Yousoro! Image color: Sky blue.  Kanan Matsuura (voiced by Nanaka Suwa) Most composed of the entire group. Childhood friend and kind of an older sister figure to Chika. Basically team mom, from what it looks like so far. Third-year. Currently taking time off from school to help her family out. Image color: Seafoam green.  Dia Kurosawa (voiced by Arisa Komiya) Student council president. The "success or nothing" type. Her family is old, rich, and well-known in the area. Nitpicky. Older sister to Ruby. Third-year. THE BIGGEST FAN OF μ'S TO EVER LIVE. CONSIDERS EVERY DETAIL OF THEIR COLLECTIVE CAREER AS COMMON KNOWLEDGE. Image color: Crimson.  Mari Ohara (voiced by Aina Suzuki) Lock on! HWAT!? Oh! Mistake! P-E-N-G-I-N! Half-Japanese, half-Italian-American, full Engliboo. Her father is the manager of a hotel chain, and she loves listening to industrial metal. One of the two most likely memelords of the group. Third-year. Through the power of money, appointed the new director of Uranohoshi. IT'S JOKE Image color: Purple.  Ruby Kurosawa (voiced by Ai Furihata) Best friends with Hanamaru. Has literally never talked to a guy other than her dad. Cries a lot. Younger sister to Dia. First-year. Hides a lot. Can be lured out with candy. Ganbaruby! Image color: Candy pink.  Hanamaru Kunikida (voiced by Kanako Takatsuki) Choir singer, zura. Best friends with Ruby and aspires to be like her, zura. Not exactly good at keeping up with the times, zura. First-year. Image color: Citrus yellow.  A fallen angel who has earned the wrath of God himself because she was too cute, cursed to live amongst humans with eternal bad luck. A little devil girl skilled with magic and video games. We are all her little demons. The other most likely memelord. First-year. HER NAME IS NOT YOSHIKO. IT'S YOHANE. BEST GIRL. Image color: Silver. Okay when does this come on? July 2!!!!! Where can I watch it? For USA-based folks, Funimation is taking care of the show. I believe that for the UK and... some other countries which elude me right now... Crunchyroll has your back. so if it's like the previous era, there's gotta be songs and stuff, right Yup! Have some links with the barest hint of plot in the videos: 1st Single: Kimi no Kokoro wa Kagayaiteru Kai? 2nd Single: Koi ni Naritai AQUARIUM Furthermore, our own Daxing Dan has been doing translations of the audio dramas since the release of Koi ni Naritai AQUARIUM! Check 'em out for some pre-anime insight into the characters. So basically, this topic is going to be for discussion of the anime/manga in Dengeki G's/music releases/VA goings-on/related etc. If school idols are getting you into the world of anime idols, you can also try playing School Idol Festival and joining us at the Anime (Idol) Rhythm Game thread! graybook fucked around with this message at 15:27 on Jul 21, 2016 |

I could see her drop some if her fussiness gets to be too much, but I totally vibe with that at times, like how she got frustrated about kanji readings in the third-year drama for Aquarium.

I can't into moonspeak so the earliest I can get into official content and understand any of the potential lesbotic undertones is in the anime. Here's hoping it's fun!

There are already some cards, but there will also be Aqours cards coming out alongside Muse cards and stuff like that.

Predictably, the original videos posted here got taken down. So here are some cool guitar covers for the sub-units that won't be taken down. Just for the sake of anyone browsing the front page for the first time.

Sakurazuka posted:What are the good ships going to be? Mari×Dia seems very good to me. High energy boke Mari has crazy ideas, and wannabe-tsukkomi Dia gets angry about it all but ends up swept along anyway. I expect fun, crackling dialogue between these two. Really, any boke character×Dia has potential, but Mari seems most likely to give an entertaining show about it all, because Mari is the best. Yoshiko×Riko (see the reversal above) or Mari×Riko both seem like they could be a thing. Their subunit's thing seems to be bullying Riko,  and that lends itself very easily to shipping. Also, Riko is super cute. Chika×anyone will probably also work, much like honkers×anyone, just because the main girl interacts the most with pretty much anyone. I'm in favor or the the Chika×Kanan childhood friend ship, personally. Hanamaru×Ruby will probably slot nicely into the "they're really good friends and oh-so-pure" RinPana-style ship, which is fine by me because that gets them out of the way of more interesting ships.
