This anime is the third series of Love Live franchise. But you can't really call it the sequel to the previous one. This one feels like its a spin off. They didn't follow the usual emotional story. This is how you expect an idol anime to be about. Just an anime filled with content that related to idol. And not an anime that filled with heavy drama. I mean Nijigasaki is created for a mobile games at first, so it would be logical if they want to invite gamer viewer into the idol genre. As a long fan of the LL franchise, I got a ... great time watching this one without the need to prepare my mental emotion so I can continue watching the story unfold.
Although I say that the story isn't heavy, it is still worth watching. Simple everyday problem in which you can relate too. The individual element of the story like comedy is stand out too. I can't stop smiling and laughing everytime I watch an episode. Either it's because the jokes or it's because their wholesomeness. Every characters help each other in here, every characters also help driven the plot. No one is being left out. And yeah I really love that. Its always a pleasure to watch how friendship is made, especially surrounding cute anime girls. You can kinda watch the episode randomly except for the early and last episodes. Because in my experience I accidentally skipped one episode and it's fine. Tho it's gonna be a little weird when the preview roll in.
Love Live is famous for having a lot of main characters in one anime. Nijigasaki is not an exception. We got 9+1 girls. I say 9+1 because 9 idol that sing like the previous Love Live series and 1 supporter. This supporting character is brand new and she play a big role inside the story, she is the viewer. Without her, or should I say us the fans, these idol is nothing. And I think its a great addition to make the viewer realize they are important too. It is literally a self insert character but in a good way. All the characters design and personality is top tier. Everyone looks beautiful with their own persona. We have tomboy, gyaru, tsundere, onee-san, childhood friend, foreigner, you name it. Maybe you can also search for your waifu in here.
This is an idol anime, so surely their song would be good right? Absolutely. I find myself vibing to the OP and ED everytime, and sometimes sing along too if I'm alone. Really like how its summed up the mood of the anime itself. I already know some of the song they here thanks to their games. And now I know the story behind them, I love it even more. Every characters have a chance to shine and sing on each of their respectively episode. Gotta give the thumbs up to every seiyuu involved because they are multitalented as hell. Not to mention this idol exist in real life too, this mean you can enjoy their amazing concert without the need to go into the anime world.
Beautiful animation as expected from Love Live, they never disappoint. The CGI when they dance is great, the backgrounds art is also great. I love how colorful the Nijigasaki world is. Because you know, Niji means rainbow in Japanese. Even every members icon color match the Niji too. And they proudly present that in the ED animation with umbrellas.
I really really enjoy watching this anime, looking forward to continue watching the 2nd season. Even though I've been in the Love Live fandom for 3 years now, this is my first time watching Nijigasaki. Already know everyone name and personality doesn't change the fun experience. Because there's a lot of new things I discover while watching. So should you consider watch this? If you want to know more about idol, then give it a go. Like I said above, this can be a good introduction anime about how most idol anime progress. Thank you for reading my review.
