Found it odd that nobody shared these news in the previous thread, so:

Volumes 4 and 5 of the DJCDs for the "Nanjou Yoshino's JolMedia" radio show have been announced. In the interview here, Jolno mentions that when deciding on their latest guest for the DJCD (she doesn't have guests coming on the show), it was like, "A guest? Why not get Kussun?" The DJCD contents will be of them on a trip to Shizuoka.

I've only played a little of it but there's one thing I've never understood about the mobile game: I thought it's always been very clear that Muse was and always would be just the nine of them. They do get backstage support from classmates, but they're not actually members.

Where do these other girls fit in?
>>
>>2339553
Those girls are actually from different schools, not Otonokizaka nor Uranohoshi.

They were just normals with their own side-stories that mainly served to give players love gems and be fodder to level up ยต's and Aqours cards.
I guess Bushiroad wanted to finally do something with them and added more girls.

I personally would love it if these girls made an appearance in the Sunshine anime as idols Aqours have to compete against.

ChikaRiko feels almost overshadowed by KanaMari and YoshiMaru. Not that I don't love those two as well, but ChikaRiko is discussed/posted about less in these threads than it should be. I'm rewatching Sunshine in prep for the new season and I forgot how much focus is on those two from the very first episode.

Let's change that.

No one talks about YoshiMaru though. It's a crack ship that will die after S2.
>>
>>2339671
I remember seeing a discussion about how Chika/Riko shippers tend to keep to others who do like the pairing, while those who are ambivalent towards it or dislike it have no reason to engage them either way.

Which seems accurate, so if your attempts to discuss end up as just you and maybe a few other anons, that is not unlikely.

Also, as >>2339713 put it, Yoshiko/Hanamaru, despite what the louder shippers claim, is not that big as it seems. There also is a rising trend lately among writers/artists of shipping Yoshiko with Ruby.

Rina has an obvious setup. She needs an onee-chan to protect her and teach her new things. Ai can take that role. Alternatively we can have Rina and Kanata but it might make things awkward for Haruka.

Ayumu, presuming she's the leader of this generation can be paired up with Kasumi (the silver-haired cutie) although I don't know how many more people will ship it after YouChika and KotoHono. Regardless, there will definitely be an obligatory RedxBlue ship.

On another note, Rina reminds me of Shinju 'Shii-chan' Harumi from T7s.

Precisely the reason. It and the two other ships you mentioned felt to me like Sunrise saying "Hey, this is the only way and the others are bad."

And since it's official material there's really nothing I can do about it. More power to you, I suppose.

ChikaRiko isn't my favorite LL pairing, but it is by far the one the anime part of the franchise handles best. Their developing closeness feels entirely unforced and natural, as it is developed in almost every episode with those quiet scenes where everyone else has left and Chika and Riko just stay back to talk for a while. All that talking then pays off after the Tokyo performance and during the beach episode when they're capable of reading and supporting each other so well. It's a great depiction of what it feels like to meet someone who feels almost made for you, down to the part where you end up ignoring your poor childhood friend.

I have incredibly mixed feelings about it.

On the one hand, it's cute.

On the other hand, we don't even know their personality or how they interact so how would you even write it. I guess this does give you one advantage, it gives you space to be original and transplant your own headcanon and personalities on what are essentially blankslates.

Not that that's the case so far. I get the feeling that some girls are being shipped because it resembles their past favourites like NozoEli or EliUmi shippers supporting AiKarin. Think how people proclaimed DiaRuby to be the new NicoMaki within days of the reveal.

Although at the same time, you can't help but feel as though they will recycle some archetypes for the new girls.

The meme originates from the gentleman in the interview you linked, where he said he was "of course shocked" to hear his celebrity crush was engaged (the news in the upper right corner).

"But if that gives her happiness, then it's okay."

The Dia version makes it about Eli while Chika's is of Honoka.

There is definitely more than one.

Considering the fact that the early start of YoshiRiko shippers have been been populated by annoying and obnoxious people since the start of Sunshine, its no surprise that they have attracted haters.

Pity for those level-headed shippers, but that stigma is now stuck to them just by association. Sucks to be you.

Absolutely disagreed. The anime built it up episode by episode without making it the only focus of the episodes, outside of something like the arm-reach over banister episode, the "I'm gonna go to Tokyo if that's a-okay" episode, and ep11.

They grew closer more naturally than a number of legit ships, I think - accepting one another, adapting to the realities of idol-dom, sacrificing for each other, etc. I loved their scenes
>>
>>2340188
It's absolutely not just one guy who dislikes YoshiRiko. Trying to CSI anonymous 4chan posters over grammar is not going to help prove you're point.

I dislike YoshiRiko, but it's more than anything because I prefer both girls with other characters far better. It's just unfortunate that a few YoshiRiko fans push it hard, or talk down other ships because of their preference for that ship.

I agree that ChikaRiko has some of the best canon buildup out of Aqours but the fact that the writers decided to have the relationship fuck You over really sours the pairing for me. Now it's this shitty love triangle dynamic when they just as easily could have made it ChikaRiko + best wingman You.

And this is just a personal preference but aesthetically I think You and Riko look better together.

It's almost like it's taken for granted, for lack of a better term. It's so confirmed that, maybe for some, there's no reason to discuss it?

>>2339881
I agree entirely. It feels as though it developed very naturally, and very visibly, episode after episode up until the Tokyo Performance arc.

To be honest, I'm almost a little worried at how it'll be handled in S2, considering how it's reached such a good point already so naturally.

Yeah, it feels like there's nowhere it could go aside from an actual romance, which isn't going to happen. Maybe they'll be a de facto couple like NozoEli in their season two, maybe even with a parfait scene.

Well I just had a horrific nightmare. An OVA was announced for the original series called something like, "Father, will the friendships of the idols last or will their fans devour them?" The tagline was something like, "Who will father their children? Idols need not apply." I haven't forced myself awake from a nightmare like that in a while. From little of what I saw the fanbase was at war with some abandoning ship and others defending it saying LL was always straight. I don't even want to go back to sleep.

>Yeah, it feels like there's nowhere it could go aside from an actual romance, which isn't going to happen. Maybe they'll be a de facto couple like NozoEli in their season two, maybe even with a parfait scene.
This is pretty much the most I think we can hope for. Considering that one of the best things about the couple is their relative understanding/lack of drama. Being the NoziEli of season two would be the best situation

Is that why China is still segregated into their own server, while Taiwan is merged with the English server?
>>
>>2343048
Yeah, that was a poor analogy.

Knowing KLab though, chances are they'll eventually decide it's more worthwhile (read: gives them more money) to integrate the China players over to the EN/WW version than have it run by a Chinese publisher.

And yet JP is still less competitively stressful than EN/WW while giving players nicer things like the UraRaji SIF Challenge rewards, commemoration items, etc.
>>
>>2343077
China will always be their own thing. The Chinese government needs to have its oily hands in everything that touches the country. They will never allow an operation that uses Internet to run without their involvement.
>>
>>2343077
>And yet JP is still less competitively stressful than EN/WW
only if you aiming for t2, because ranking for t1 is more difficult on jp
>>
>>2343217
How so? T1 is for the top 10000 players for JP but top 1100 in EN. The proportion of players in the tier out of all players for an event is therefore less harsh. Unless you were referring to the respective score cutoff marks? I'm not as familiar with EN and it's perhaps a question more suited for /vg/ besides.

>>2343217
>>2343338
Actually I would say that JP has eased up a bit even for Tier 1.

For comparison sake, let's look at the cutoffs for the KanaMaru Score Match that JP previously had and compare it the YouChika Score Match that GL had last month.
Not using the Umi Score Match because that event only had a single SR and it had a weird MMR system that might have caused people to play more than they normally would've with a more normal MMR system.

KanaMaru JP: T1- 109866, T2- 58828, T3- 29315

YouChika GL: T1- 134697, T2- 75970, T3- 45782

It's more of a sign that JP is getting less and less active with SIF.
>>
>>2343359
it wasn't that bad before, but since they encouraged the tripfaggotry and discord shit everything went to shit faster than before
>>2343452
sis, the japs don't care about aqours events everyone knows that, you should use moose events instead
>>
>>2343480
discord was the worst fucking thing to happen to this site in a while. I honestly wish it was not allowed to be discussed or mentioned here, like infinitychan.

>>2342795
>Symmetrical docking
They know
>>
>>2343480
Its kind of hard to compare right now considering ww moose events still only give out one card compared to jp two.

But you're right in the sense jp cares more of moose than aqours. Even the current token event has some crazy cutoffs.
>>
>>2343480
Ok then, ยต's events really aren't much more competitive on JP.

HonoRin Challenge Fest JP: T1-125478, T2- 63530

Rin Challenge Fest GL: T1- 142669, T2- 80282

Both events were also 10 days long. No point in comparing T3, when it didn't matter on single SR events.

Yes, you can say something like Rin being unpopular across both servers, but then you'd be splitting hairs. There hasn't been a 'popular' ยต's character featured for rankings recently, and going further back puts you at a time when the game was more active which doesn't say anything about how the game is NOW.
>>
>>2343568
I'll give it that. Token events do come off as more competitive, but those events also don't take as much effort with the x4 multipliers. So the numbers just look inflated.
>>
>>2343586
Agreed. When the event banner came out, the general consensus seemed to be that it would provide a break. By turning the multiplier on, there is very little time a player actually needs to spend on the event unless you want the "clear event song __ number of times" rewards. Silent Tonight also has a very low max combo count for an EX chart, which makes this event even less tiring to keep up with.

FWIW and for comparison purposes:-
In the Nico-Rin token event (end-February 2017), T1 was 66,667 and T2 24,419
In the Kotori-Maki token event (end-November 2016), T1 was 91,755 and T2 40,721
On the other hand, the Kotori-Maki event came after 3 token events where Aqours members were the rewards, and was the first ยต's token event with event point and score ranking rewards, so the cutoff numbers might have gotten atypically huge just because people were longing for it.

The thing is that Nico/Rin token is that it was only 8 days long, where the Kotori/Maki event was 10 days. It was a shorter event, so cutoffs are going to look at lot less.

This Eli/Umi event is 11-days long, so it may show higher numbers than Kotori/Maki because of the extra day.

There's a Rabu16 convention tomorrow and an artist has a book in stock that's been sold out on melon. Dunno if spending $500 for a round trip shinkansen is worth it for a $5 book plus other new books.

If it's a gen (not marked R-18) book, then maybe. But if not, what's to say it won't have some suspect stains if bought secondhand...

In all seriousness, though, doujin are hardly ever sold secondhand.

Really? I got a whole bunch from Suguru-ya second hand for super cheap.

>>2346249
As the other anon said Suguru-ya is your best bet. They have a very large selection and restock regularly. Popular doujins are usually quite expensive and gone immediately, but there's a restock notification and purchase order function.
I've bought hundreds of books from them and nearly all of them were in perfect condition (including adult books).

Part 2
>>
Some stuff about this BokuRabu, idk if someone's interested but I'll just type it out anyway:
- First of all it's always such a shame that Mezashi only brings enough copies to last 5 minutes before selling out, really wanted to buy it directly from her this time around.
- Karuha apparently didn't manage to finish her doujin on time so she just handed out a preview copy hon for free.
- Also a bit sad that Oshima is out of the game, this time it was really noticeable, you'd get the longest line in the con in front her table... I really wish her the best with her new stuff but I think her fans deserve some kind of explanation, she kinda just deleted her whole LL related posts from twitter one day and that was it ww, now it really does feel like a new era.
>>
>>2347102
Wait, Oshima dropped out? I know she was publishing an original work but I didn't realise she had stopped making LL doujins.

Man, I'm kinda glad I bought that Oshima fabric print from Toranoana now.
>>
>>2347244
Yeah, it was all pretty sudden, I think around the beginning of April that she suddenly deleted all the LL related content from her Twitter. And then she just kind of stopped attending cons to sell LL stuff (she did attend others to sell her original stuff tho). I still see her works in Tora so maybe she's still selling it to them (and her friend still sells the last LL things she made a couple of months ago in her table along with her stuff) but then again that might just be what was left over so I'm still not too sure if it'll run out eventually.

>>
>>2347298
I really hope that she at least puts out one last collection at the next comiket. I held up on buying some of her latest porn doujins because I assumed that she'll do so anyway, but since she changed her whole profile and deleted a lot of her tweets, guess not. ;_;
>>
>>2347448
It would be nice, her most recent compilation only covers up to the end of 2015. It's a pretty great compilation though, so it would be a shame if she didn't do another.
>>
>>2347361
It's mostly comedy, not specially romantic or anything. There's been a lack of DiaRuby lately, I think this con only had a couple of doujins about them.

It appears that the LL staff just prohibited the sale of any fan made goods that "violate copyright". Many artists in my Twitter feed are saying that Melonbooks is messaging them saying they will stop selling their goods (apparently this only applies to keyholders, acrylic stands, tote bags, pins as of now) but it is not clear yet if this will affect actual doujin books too or not. I guess we'll see.
A bit sad that they're taking such measures though, I really don't think a couple of artists selling fan made goods affects their official goods sales that much.
http://www.lovelive-anime.jp/uranohoshi/news.php#3488
>>
>>2348084
From what I've seen/heard, and going off other fandoms which had such official announcements made, doujin are a bit of a murky area. Things like keyholders and such can be passed off as official merch, and there are counterfeiters who make things with that intention. On the other hand we also have fanartists who are roped in to do illustrations for official works/events.

In the long run, it might not amount to much after all.

Been reading a few more tweets and it looks that it's only affecting "goods", meaning Pins and Acrylic stands, etc. seems like the actual melonbooks stores have taken away the goods they were selling, but the doujinshi remain. So far Tora no Ana and Comic Zin still sell them though.

I don't care if a hundred something wankers like this ship. I don't even care if you ship it but don't expect me to like it no-matter how many pictures I seen drawn nor read your doujin if it has the forbidden tags in it.

If you write fanfiction, it doesn't matter how good or bad you are, I will not read it if it has the tags KotoUmi, TsubaHono or NozoEli.

And you are pretending that only one person out there does not like your perfect ship. Tons? Who needs tons of people to show up? I'm just one man but I'm sure there are others out there.

Even presuming I'm the only person on this Earth who does not ship KotoUmi, I don't care. I don't care if I'm the only person, the last man alive or the minority. I will never support KotoUmi, TsubaHono or NozoEli and you can bring up all the raw numbers you want, I ain't joining this so-called 'majority' nor will I support their so-called main ships. They can party over there with Jstonedd but it's a party I won't join. I have my own ships and I'll stick with them. No number big or small. No crowd, big or small will convince me to ship them.

No-one agrees with me? Good. I don't agree with them either. I hate KotoUmi.
>>
This kind of shit is why I've never really been able to like NicoMaki. The fans of it always used to be incredibly obnoxious and would just shit up other discussions.

Not that surprising when the pairing is inherently antagonistic with 2 tsunderes.

Being in an OT3 doesn't mean they never have intimate moments with just two of them. That's the foundation of OT3, that any girl can be with any of the other two without causing jealousy in the third.

I do, both the lead single and the coupling tracks fit my tastes perfectly. It reminds me of Printemps but more mature, or a bubblier BiBi.

How to kill a franchise

"Sorry Love Live doujin fans, but it looks like the idol animeโ€™s rights holders are putting their foot down on unlicensed merchandise. This is because the official Love Live website announced that theyโ€™re asking fans and store owners to stop selling them.

Many well-known doujin stores, such as Tora no Ana, as well as events like Comiket, sell these doujin merchandise. Several arcades also put these fan-made yet unlicensed goods as prizes, while online stores also sell them. The rights holders are also making these people by sending Cease & Desist letters to these sellers and events. And theyโ€™re going to be strict, and wonโ€™t tolerate any person selling unlicensed Love Live merch. Their announcement also asks other fans not to make, sell, or buy these unlicensed works. They also thanked fans for their support of Live Live and Love Live Sunshine.

Itโ€™s also fair to say that the doujinshi industry is booming right now, with the anime industry itself seemingly encouraging fan-made works, particularly manga. Many in Japan view doujin manga circles as potential breeding grounds for legendary creators. In fact, several mangaka have first made names for themselves as doujin artists during Comiket. However, it still isnโ€™t clear whether this ban on unlicensed goods also include doujin manga. Even though the announcementโ€™s language seems to focus on goods, it didnโ€™t really say anything about manga.

While many fans are speculating if this ban includes manga or not, other fans are also speculating why Love Live would go so far as to banning goods now of all times. Many speculate that when Love Live switched to AQOURS, merchandise sales dropped. Many theorize that this has lead to the rights holders to put their foot down and ban unlicensed goods."

>>2350976
Anyone is of course free to ship exactly what appeals to them, but I don't see much support for KotoUmi in the canon. The manga is strictly UmiHono, and the anime and SIF depict them as an unbreakable unit with OT3 subtext (and that one SIF story can't even be bothered with the sub- part).

I just can't see KotoUmi happening after Umi couldn't even go to the airport to get Kotori back on her own. There was a pretty smart KotoUmi fic that made that into a problem in their relationship they had to overcome, though.
>>

I usually like all of Aikyan's tweet but the recent one made my weekend a little sour. She hangs out with AiAi and King more than I'd like her to be. It's unforgivable that the Anime didn't have many YoshiRiko scenes, that's why she ought to make more cnrk situations and give us faith. There's really no need to pander the shitty 1st years trio.

If you're a Japanese celebrity, the fans kind of do have a lot of power over your social lives. There's a reason most seiyuus hide their relationships and some even try to hide their marriage. A wrong move could end their careers. It's pretty messed up.

God, all of these shitty YoshiRiko fans are making me feel awful for liking the pairing.

You know a character isn't limited to just one girl, right? Yoshiko gets shipped with Maru (and Ruby as of recently) a lot. I don't like them as much as I like YoshiRiko, but I'm not going to get assblasted just because someone else thinks YoshiRiko is shit.
Part of what makes LL great with ships is the possibilities. The characters work so well together that almost any ship could, by all means, work. Just ship and don't be an asshole, it's not difficult.
>>
>>2351598
http://archiveofourown.org/works/9414518/chapters/21311651

It gets a little aimless towards the end, but it's a good take on their relationship. It's a parallel story to the same writer's NicoMaki story, but you don't need to read it to follow this one.
>>
>>2351691
Yes, but if you look at >>2351440 (despite how gratingly stupid it is) that anon is essentially saying the one single like they provide to Aikyan's tweets warrants dictating how she conducts her personal relationships. Which is a brand new level of delusional entitlement above that of "fans" of celebrities/seiyuu whose entitlement stems from tangible, real, support to the celebrities/seiyuu with real effect.

Not saying these things don't happen, but if somebody wants to be assmad they have to deserve it. It's not like Aikyan or Rikyako ever stopped shipping YoshiRiko or doing stuff together in the first place.

Does anyone else here like YoshiRuby? I think they'd be a far cuter couple than YoshiMaru, not to mention that they have some neat chemistry. They have the true angel/demon dynamic.
>>
>>2351843
It's far too underrated for such a good dynamic. SIF has been pretty generous with providing a better look at how they are together (and as a trio with Hanamaru), so I hope we can see more of them in season 2.

And while we shouldn't draw a direct link between the portrayers and their characters, gotta admit the combo of Aikyan and AiAi are disgustingly cute, like with their matching Instagram usernames and giving each other nicknames and such.
>>
>>2351837

>>
>>2351950
Easily ChikaRiko for me.
Because:
1. They have very good chemistry with each other.
2. It's more or less canon in the anime and pretty much every other media.
3. It doesn't use the childhood friend sob story.
4. Chika and Riko are my 1st and 2nd favorite Aqours respectively.
5. I really don't like You.
>>
LL Wikia is currently 3 months behind on the Dengeki translation. I guess 100% coverage of Sunshine content did not last long.
>>
>>2351950
ChikaYou because I don't like Riko and I haven't watched Sunshine or any aqours related content at all so crackshit doesn't bother me if its aqours.
>>
>>2351950
Both are boring shit ship but if I had to choose it's ChikaYou just so coupling works out with YohaRiko.

I ship the second years in any combination.

ChikaRiko is pretty much canon. Not to mention cute as fuck.

YouChika is my favorite of the second year ships. But that's probably because You is my favorite and I want her to be happy.

I don't really know what I find appealing about YouRiko. But I feel like they would have the best sex out of all the pairs.

OT3 is best though.

I don't know about you but I'm just going to look at him and laugh.

I don't even know who's who anymore.

They match the first ever event with Aqours members as rewards, too. Maybe as part of a series?
>>
>>2352508
Oh wow, I didn't notice that. I've never heard of event cards matching in a series. But if so wouldn't there be one odd out?
>>
>>2352516
Rewards can follow a theme over different events. For instance, during the events at the turn of the year, the reward card(s) would have illustrations of the member with traditional new year delicacies and having a design to do with the zodiac animal for the coming year. 2017 (year of the chicken) was Mari and Yoshiko, 2016 (year of the monkey) had Nozomi, 2015 (year of the sheep) had Kotori, 2014 (year of the horse) had Nico.
>>
>>2352520
Interesting. But that's only in theme right? This one has the same costume.
>>
>>2352525
Nevermind, a friend just told me of the Rock event set from old ยต's events. Nico and Rin practically has the same outfits in there.
>>
>>2352532
KLab could be running out of ideas but in this case it could be acceptable. Youshiko good.
>>
>>2352534
Would be funny if they're going to do it for everyone. Imagine a set that only comes out for two members a year.
>>
>>2352543
Everyone is his arch-nemesis.
>>
>>2352534
>>2352540
Aside from the matching rock-themed cards for BiBi, several other ยต's cards (not necessarily all event rewards) match each other. There's a "rainy day" theme for a Hanayo-Nozomi event where the costumes corresponded to the now-"famous" rainbow umbrella Eli, for example. The Mother's Day Kanan and Hanamaru also matched Chika and You from another past event. And like the new year theme mentioned at >>2352520 we might come to see the pattern again over an extended period.
>>
>>2352550
I see. Gonna have to look out on these from now on. I like matching things.
>>
>>2352356
>even if they pussied out of showing the aftermath.
What do /u/ think the aftermath was? Chika certainly didn't turn her down, given how they act for the rest of the series. I'm guessing Chika reciprocated, but they didn't have the 'so are we dating now?' talk, leaving things a little ambiguous in an exciting way.
>>
>>2352564
It's what makes it magical: nobody knows for sure. Personally I like to think Chika is too airheaded to take the confession romantically, but I'm not saying it didn't happen/won't happen.

Maybe S2 will bring a Chika open season for Riko and You.

You don't play the game? There's the rocker series, the solge series, raincoat, etc.
>>
>>2352596
I do, but only recently. I think I started august-september last year. I dont' know past events and I haven't seen most of ยต's cards, especially the old ones.

Probably never will since I'm a dirty Aqours purist
>>
>>2352602
Can we have Twilight Tiger pair
>>
>>2352570
I like to think Riko won right there on the beach. Her call to You in the following episode feels like a gracious winner feeling bad for the loser and wanting to include her, rather than two co-competitors talking. I guess that indeed is the magic. I really want to see what they do with the love triangle in season two.
>>
>>2352600
Please educate yourself. There's a nifty thing called the internet, you may have heard of it.

>that spoiler
Really didn't need to tell us that, either.
>>
>>2352619
When I play the game the last thing that comes to my mind is to look for old card artworks. But thanks for the heads up, maybe I'll go pop into that database site and scroll slowly when I have the time.
>>
>>2352383
She's been selling what's left over along with original stuff (in cons that aren't Bokurabu), and her friend still sells her stuff for her too but she hasn't/and doesn't seem to plan on releasing new LL doujins (take into account she erased all her LL related art/posts from her Twitter too).

master 1200 has nothing to do with the resolution.
It's about jpg quality compression. Any master 1200 image has been compressed.

I just can't break up Mari and Kanan, so it's either them together or OT3.

>>2353840
Is there a reason why the manga and SID differ from the other matierals (Anime, SIF)? I think that was the case with muse too.
>>
>>2353859
Different writers. Manga, SID, and maybe the Dengeki G's storylines are written by Kimino Sakurako personally. Anime and SIF have their own set of writers.

I prefer KanaDia desu, but I do like the OT3.

Honoka's so much more likable when she has a history of accomplishment and drive rather than just being an irresponsible rando who starts the band and then lets everyone else make it a success.
