Trailer releases for Love Live! Nijigasaki High School Idol Club anime film trilogy, featuring group’s energetic dance performances.
The official YouTube channel for the Love Live! series just dropped a trailer for the first film of Love Live! Nijigasaki Gakuen School Idol Dōkōkai Kanketsu-hen, the epic conclusion to the Love Live! Nijigasaki High School Idol Club franchise’s new anime film trilogy. And, boy, does it look amazing!
The countdown begins! The first film in the trilogy will hit theaters on September 6, wrapping up the anime’s story in style. But before we get to the finale, let’s take a look at what’s in store for our beloved Nijigasaki High School Idol Club.
The film trilogy takes place after the events of the two previous TV seasons and the Love Live! Nijigasaki High School Idol Club Next Sky original video anime project. The main cast and main staff are returning for the trilogy, so you can expect the same level of energy and excitement that has made Love Live! a fan favorite.
The story follows the club as they receive an invitation to the “School Idol GPX” contest, where contestants compete individually instead of by school. The six members of the club who participate in the contest – Ayumu, Kasumi, Shizuku, Kanata, Emma, and Lanzhu – head to Okinawa to compete, where they experience new encounters and challenges. But for Ayumu, the competition brings up complex feelings about competing against her fellow club members.
The first season of the main Love Live! Nijigasaki High School Idol Club anime premiered on the Tokyo MX channel, Bandai Channel, Line Live, and YouTube Live streaming services in October 2020. The second season premiered in April 2023, and Crunchyroll streamed the anime as it aired in Japan, with an English dub available later.
Nijiyon Animation, the short TV anime of Miyakohito‘s four-panel manga spinoff Nijiyon ~Love Live! Nijigasaki Gakuen School Idol Dōkōkai Yon-Koma, has a second season that debuted on April 5.
The franchise‘s staff introduced the members of Nijigasaki Academy’s Idol Appreciation Club in 2017 as part of KLab Games and Bushiroad‘s Love Live! School Idol Festival smartphone game’s “Perfect Dream Project” (PDP).
