It bumps the size of the main cast from nine to ten, and rather than the characterization taking a hit as a result, to the contrary, it is actually an improvement over previous seasons. I've always found it admirable how Love Live manages to develop large casts of characters in such a concise amount of episodes, and Nijigasaki is the best example of this to date. well, you've found yourself in the wrong place, I'm afraid.
If you're not so much a seeker of fun, and instead have a preference for the dark and violent and so forth. If you're the type of person who watches anime primarily for fun, I would say there are not many anime that do it better than Nijigasaki.
While there is still a degree of drama, it is used sparingly, and in a wholesome and heartwarming manner, with the conclusion to the conflict almost invariably resulting in a smile or even a big stupid grin. The tone here is far more light-hearted and slice-of-life focused than previous, which is when Love Live had always shined the most, from my perspective. Love Live's third outing is its best yet.Ī large part of what makes Nijigasaki such a pleasure to watch is that it doesn't take itself too seriously.
And, with a few important changes and some new layers of complexity, I believe that it is legitimately superior to the original. It is comprised solely of the franchise's best elements, and highlights the reasons so many people fell in love with Love Live all those years ago. The great news is that, by bringing the series back to its roots, Nijigasaki firmly stands on its own two feet.
Sunshine was always walking in the original's shadows, with abundant references to Muse, and of days gone by. Live so special in the first place- charming characters and cute slice-of-life- and decided instead to replace it with unhappy vibes and drama in excess. While I was a big fan of the original series (Nico is my favourite character in all of anime), Sunshine missed the mark in many regards. Love Live: Nijigasaki is a wholesome reminder of why I enjoy anime, and of why the slice-of-life genre is so captivating.Īdmittedly, after the middling and sometimes frustrating experience that was Sunshine, I wasn't too sure what to expect from this year's offering of Love Live. And there are fewer still as thoroughly pleasant as Sunrise's latest foray into the world of school idols. There are few anime as equally enjoyable as they are remarkable.
