The second Love Live anime is a story about taking bad events in stride, rather than simply about creating good outcomes.But following along with the recent Love Live Rewatch on the anime subreddit was a good chance to reaffirm that my prior discussion was woefully incomplete.It feels like Ive been looking for an excuse to expand upon this for a while now.
Its inevitable that portions of this will be poached from the past since it is a continuation on the same subject, but bear with me. Nobody even watched those other things in the first place, and nobody will watch this one either so Im sure I can be afforded some lenience. In truth my original plan was to just make another garbage AMV because I like that and its fun as a form of nonverbal creative reflection. You pore over it from a different angle than that of a written piece. Instead of telling one to read this through my words you get to say see this through my eyes. But then it was only cool in the conceptual stage and as one would expect Lantis happened, so Im just repurposing the bridge sections from that into this video. At the end of the day I think I probably still have to place it in this form if I want to be satisfied, since I have so much affection for this story that needs to be expressed in my main format. They might wear the same mask, but the two titles are incredibly different shows and this leap in style is so striking that it can often lead to innate enmity between the two camps. One of the main ways they differ is that the original, while having a lot of heart, frankly isnt that interesting on its own. The characters are endearing, the soundtrack is surprisingly killer considering one would expect them to skimp on that in favour of the insert tracks, and the entire thing save for one bout of ham-fisted drama that we, the overhanging narrative and the writers all try to pretend didnt happen is just fun. Against all odds. It stumbles and stumbles, and it absolutely pales in comparison to the beast that Sunshine is about to become, but its good. Theres so much heart in it and this forms a meta-story within, as the writers and production quality of the show fumble to find their footing in the world of anime just like s in both fiction and reality. Theres a roughness to it refined over the course of the show that makes you want to root for not just s as a cast but for Love Live itself. They opted to be a bit more of a straightforward idol show while searching for their anime footing. I greatly enjoy it and have rated it rather favourably so do not mistake me as talking down upon it. That is not one of the numerous positive qualities I would ascribe to it. ![]() Saint Aqours Snow Believe Again Brightest Melody Over The Next Rainbow Movie In ParticularThats not to say that its completely devoid of discussion since the School Idol Movie in particular laid a decent amount of stylistic groundwork for what I am going to spend the next hour raving about, but that within the first story said examples are for the most part restricted solely to the second act of the movie. Rather the most interesting thing that one can say of School Idol Project is Sunshine. Saint Aqours Snow Believe Again Brightest Melody Over The Next Rainbow Series Is SomethingWhen surrounded by the quality of writing seen in School Idol Project, School Idol Festival and Nijigasaki, we can observe that Sunshines television series is something of a black sheep within the franchise in that its design to be an actual good story, rather than prioritizing the gacha fanservice component. Even in the radio dramas and their visual novel segments in the Festival games you tend to get Aqours as caricatures of themselves. Its really only this part of the project that for some reason decided they wanted to take it all to the next level.
