Love Live! School Idol Project[a] is a Japanese multimedia project co-developed by ASCII Media Works' Dengeki G's Magazine, music label Lantis, and animation studio Sunrise. It is the first multimedia project in the Love Live! franchise. The project revolves around a group of nine schoolgirls who become idols in order to save their school from shutting down. It launched in the August 2010 issue of Dengeki G's Magazine, and went on to produce music CDs, anime music videos, two manga adaptations, and video games.

A 13-episode anime television series produced by Sunrise, directed by Takahiko Kyōgoku, and written by Jukki Hanada aired on Tokyo MX in Japan between January and March 2013, with a second season airing between April and June 2014. Both anime series and film are licensed in North America, the United Kingdom, Australia and New Zealand by Funimation, MVM Entertainment and Madman Entertainment, respectively. An animated film titled Love Live! The School Idol Movie was distributed by Shochiku and released in June 2015. A follow-up project focusing on a new set of idols, titled Love Live! Sunshine!!, launched in 2015.

Plot

[edit]

Honoka Kōsaka is a teenage girl who attends Otonokizaka Academy (音ノ木坂学院, Otonokizaka Gakuin). When the school is scheduled to be closed due to a lack of applicants, Honoka becomes determined to save it. She goes to UTX, where her little sister planned to go for high school, and sees a crowd watching a music video of A-Rise, UTX's school idol group. Learning that school idols are popular, Honoka and her friends decide to follow A-Rise's footsteps and start their own school idol group called μ's (ミューズ, Myūzu, pronounced "muse") to attract new students. Once they successfully prevent Otonokizaka Academy from closing, the girls from μ's set their sights higher. They participate in Love Live, the ultimate school idol competition featuring the best groups in the country. Despite winning the competition, the girls from μ's disband soon after for their own personal reasons, and because the third-years are graduating.

Honoka Kōsaka (高坂 穂乃果, Kōsaka Honoka)
Voiced by: Emi Nitta[4] (Japanese); Marieve Herington[5] (English)
Honoka is a second-year student at Otonokizaka Academy. Her family works in a wagashi shop named Homura. She has a cheerful personality, and very determined, loves to sing, never giving up on anything, to the point of usually overexerting herself - which can prove costly at times. She is shown to be lazy and reluctant to do work but is highly driven when it comes to her school idol activities. Her hobbies include swimming and collecting stickers. In the manga, she was a part of the kendo club. She is the leader of μ's, and is seen taking the center position in most of the group's songs. She later succeeds Eli as student council president.
Eli Ayase (絢瀬 絵里, Ayase Eri)
Voiced by: Yoshino Nanjō[6] (Japanese); Erica Lindbeck[5] (English)
Eli is Otonokizaka Academy's third-year student council president who is determined to save the school. Although she opposes Honoka's plan at first, she ends up becoming the second-to-last girl to join μ's. She is part Russian because of her grandma, and tends to say the Russian word "хорошо" (IPA: [xərɐˈʂo]; pronounced horosho, "good"). She is very talented, excelling at academics and athleticion, and is able to perform her duties as the student council president flawlessly. Eli's specialty is quilting. Her experience with ballet ultimately qualifies her as the group's choreographer.
Kotori Minami (南 ことり, Minami Kotori)
Voiced by: Aya Uchida[7] (Japanese); Cristina Vee[5] (English)
Kotori is Honoka's classmate and childhood best friend and is the daughter of Otonokizaka Academy's chairwoman, whom she closely resembles. She holds responsibility as the group's wardrobe supervisor. She is very kind, selfless, and considerate and shows a care for everyone, but is also confident and holds opinions of her own, however, she can also be indecisive. For a short time, she secretly worked part-time at a maid cafe. At one point, she intended to move abroad to study fashion, but at the last minute she decided to stay in Japan and remain part of μ's. She later joins the student council and assists Honoka and Umi in taking care of their student council duties.
Umi Sonoda (園田 海未, Sonoda Umi)
Voiced by: Suzuko Mimori[8] (Japanese); Kira Buckland[5] (English)
Umi is Honoka's classmate and childhood friend who is a member of the school's kyūdō club, in which she excels. She believes Honoka is a little bit bright and undisciplined but realizes the perks of having an adventured friend, and usually acts as the voice of reason among the second-year trio. She is the main lyricist of the group. Despite her strict personality, she is also kind. As the daughter of an iemoto mother and a shihan father,[9] Umi has expertise in kendo (long sword), koto (Japanese Zither), nagauta (Shamisen), shodō (Japanese creative writing), and nichibu (Japanese traditional dance). Umi is said to be very scary by Kotori when her sleep is disturbed by others during the training camp with the members of μ's. She later succeeds Nozomi as the student council vice president. Her catchphrase is "Love, Arrow, Shoot!"
Rin Hoshizora (星空 凛, Hoshizora Rin)
Voiced by: Riho Iida[10] (Japanese); Faye Mata[5] (English)
Rin is an athletic first-year student skilled in hurdling, soccer, and basketball. She is a Tomboy, and like Honoka, she has a cheerful and energetic personality, but loses motivational easily. She is best friends with Hanayo, who she tends to look after, and has a habit of ending her sentences with "-nya" (the Japanese equivalent word for "meow"). She has a complex about looking "cute" due to an incident in her childhood in which several boys made fun of her for attempting to dress in more feminine attire, but is eventually able to put the incident behind her with the help of her friends in μ's and begins to express her femininity more.
Maki Nishikino (西木野 真姫, Nishikino Maki)
Voiced by: Pile[11] (Japanese); Caitlin Glass[5] (English)
Maki is a first-year honor student who comes from a wealthy family of doctors. She is a talented young singer and pianist, but is expected to become a doctor and inherit her parents' hospital, which causes her to refuse to join μ's at first. She initially comes across as aloof and a tsundere-like personality, but eventually warms up to the group over the course of the series. Maki is the main composer and vocal coach of the group. She later becomes the vice president of the Idol Research Club after the third-years' graduation.
Nozomi Tojo (東條 希, Tōjō Nozomi)
Voiced by: Aina Kusuda[12] (Japanese); Laura Post[5] (English)
Nozomi is the third-year student council vice-president and the oldest of the group. She acts as the voice of reason to Eli, who was the first friend she made after spending her whole school life transferring from one place to another due to her parents' work, choosing to live by herself in order to stay in Otonokizaka. She also acts as the spiritually leader of the group, and has an almost all-knowing vibe to her, acting when she knew things got too far and even naming the group based on events that were yet to happen. Although she is not from that region, Nozomi speaks in Kansai dialect. Her hobby is fortune-telling, and she uses it to quickly fit in at a new school whenever she is forced to move. Despite having a serena personality, she has a rather mischievous side to her: she can be perverted - being prone to groping the other girls' breasts when she finds them distracted or depressed as a form of "cheering them up".
Hanayo Koizumi (小泉 花陽, Koizumi Hanayo)
Voiced by: Yurika Kubo[13] (Japanese); Xanthe Huynh[5] (English)
Hanayo is a first-year student interested in drawing and origami. She is Rin’s close friend. Rin refers to her as "Kayo", an alternate reading of the kanji in her name. She has a fondness for rice and eating in general, and is natural, shy. Prior to joining μ's, she had poor self-esteem and was prone to giving up easily. She has dream about being an idol since she was a baby and her catchphrase is, "Somebody, please help me!" or a variation depending on the media. Nico later chooses Hanayo to succeed as the president of the Idol Research Club after she and the other third-year members graduated.
Nico Yazawa (矢澤 にこ, Yazawa Niko)
Voiced by: Sora Tokui[14] (Japanese); Erica Mendez[5] (English)
Nico is a third-year student interested in fashion, and thus acts as the group's wardrobe supervisor alongside Kotori. She has the strongest desire to become an idol out of everyone in μ's, and has tirelessly worked hard in order to achieve her goal. However, much to her chagrin, Nico is childlike in appearance and behavior despite her age, looking much younger than the rest of the group. Nico formed the Idol Research Club, but all of her club members left one after another because of her high standards. When Honoka and her friends ask her to have the club as μ's base of operations, she is reluctant at first, doubting how far they are willing to go to become successful idols, until she approves of their effort and eventually joins the group. She is rather tough, has a tendency of acting like a big shot and constantly craves attention, but is deeply cares of the people around her. Unlike the other members of the group, she has an idol persona and tends to invoke her catchphrase, "Nico Nico Nii", with an accompanying pose. Nico is scared of water and can't swim. She is however a very good cook, which comes from having to caring for and look after her three younger siblings (all voiced in Japanese by Sora Tokui): Cocoa Yazawa (矢澤 ココア, Yazawa Kokoa) (Voiced by: Janice Kawaye (English)), Cocoro Yazawa (矢澤 ココロ, Yazawa Kokoro) (Voiced by: Stephanie Sheh (English)) and Cotaro Yazawa (矢澤 虎太郎, Yazawa Kotarō) (Voiced by: Julie Ann Taylor (English)).

Production

[edit]

Since the first issue of ASCII Media Works' Dengeki G's Magazine was published, the editors of the magazine have hosted reader participation games whose development is directly influenced by the people who read the magazine. The project was first announced in the July 2010 issue of Dengeki G's Magazine, which revealed that the magazine would be collaborating with the anime studio Sunrise and the music label Lantis to co-produce the project.[19] The project officially began with the August 2010 issue of Dengeki G's Magazine, which introduced the story, characters, and a more detailed explanation of the project.[20] The original plan for the story was written by Sakurako Kimino, who also writes the short stories for Love Live! featured in Dengeki G's Magazine. Original character design and illustrations are provided by Yūhei Murota.

Starting in August 2010, online mobile phone popularity contests have periodically been held to rank the characters, which influences the positions of the idols in the anime music videos produced by Sunrise. For example, the idol who ranks first in a given contest will be in the center position in the front row in the music video that follows. Other polls are used to determine different aspects of the idols, such as hairstyles and costumes.[20] Starting with the November 2010 issue of Dengeki G's Magazine, readers were polled to determine the name of the idols' group. After the editors narrowed it down to the five most popular names, readers were polled for a final time, ultimately choosing the name μ's. A similar polling system was used to determine the names of the three subunits: Printemps, BiBi and Lily White.[21]

Reception

[edit]

Anime News Network had two editors review the first season in 2013: Carl Kimlinger reviewed the first six episodes of the series, finding fault in some of the characters lacking depth and the use of 3D animation in the dancing scenes, but praised director Takahiko Kyōgoku for his use of visuals and for giving a realistic approach to idol groups.[63] Rebecca Silverman reviewed the latter half of the series, criticizing the 3D animation and the characters not breaking stereotypes but found it enjoyable because of its charm and offering viewers some characters they will like, concluding with, "When you're feeling down, give this a watch, because if nothing else, Love Live! has its heart in the right place and only seems to want us to smile."[64] Silverman reviewed the second season in 2014, commenting on its tendencies to get melodramatic and lack of equal attention to the main cast, but praised it for fixing the problems she found in the first season and providing genuine emotion from its characters, saying that "it is a lot of fun and one of the most enjoyable entries into the idol genre, a position it solidifies with this second season."[65]
