    How have I known you this long and not known you were a fan of Love Live? I mean it makes sense considering but still.....

    Same. Their dynamic just can't be beat.
    Also about the lyrics, yeah I got that realisation too. To be fair they do mention cheeseburger and ramen when singing about after school activities. Must be about how unhappy they are in metal.

    I tried watching Sunshine again recently, and holy crap, what garbage. I can't believe I gave it a chance initially. Lazy attempts at "humour", boring attempts at plot, pretty much the only defining characteristic of each girl is their catchphrase/tic, and of course "We're not µ's! We just happen to be a group of nine highschool girls in an idol group, with our members equally split between the three year levels, and our goal being to save our school from shutdown!" Fuck, the complete lack of any meaningful chemistry between them as well; spending an entire episode demonstrating that they don't mesh together because their personalities and tastes are too clashing, but then the rain in the temple scene "Oh look, it's just like us. Such different and clashing sounds that mesh together~" I'm also mad about the chuuni; "Hey guys, I wanna stop being a chuuni, can you hit me back in line if I slip up?" "Sure Yoshiko, of course!~" *proceeds to never do that*
    /rant
    I swear I remember us actually discussing the lyrics/music disconnect when the song first came out.

    I enjoyed Sunshine at the time. Still rated it very highly. Could have just been because I was high on Love Live altogether back then. With the current Nijigasaki airing, I can safely say I'm barely enjoying it. Somehow this is my worst version of Love Live. Which funnily enough might mean you'll enjoy it more than I will for the exact opposite reasons I dislike it. I feel that the characters just don't play off each other as well as the others. And the main idea was a group of soloists rather than a collective group. Friendly rivals with nothing to lose. Although there was over the top needless drama as well.
    I much preferred the smaller cast Super Star. Although I saw that for it's 2nd season they'll add more girls to make it a total of 9 again.... sigh.
    µ's forever.

    Also
    For disliking the show so much you remember it better than I do.

    Kay and I were like that initially, then season 2 came around and we were like "This is... not great" and dropped it. Then I went back recently and watched Sunshine from the start and was like "This is garbage, how did I enjoy this the first time? Really must have been giving them the best chance I could because of µ's"
    Heheh, kay and I got a little bit of Nijigasaka content from whichever game did it. I liked the 2nd-year bitch character, and kay liked the gyaru.

    I mean, for one, I watched it recently, and for two, particularly shit scenes just stick in the memory, don't they?

    Angel Beats is one of my favourite anime, but I'm not actually that big on GDM songs

    I haven't rewatched all of Aqours yet. Since I can't get a DVD of the 2nd season I stopped after the first part. Do I remember much? Not really.
    Also I'm still playing LLSIF because of you all those years ago. Take responsibility. Ai is one I don't mind but which bitch character? I don't even remember which grades these girls are in. Setsuna I like, Ai and Karin are alright and then the new Chinese and English girl immediately beats almost everyone else as soon as they were introduced.

    Not for me. Hilarious or amazing scenes do. Shit anime do. Just particularly bad scenes... maybe I don't think any one scene was that bad to be blamed for ruining a show.

    GDM was fun though. The concert parts were good.

    Oh gods, you're still on that? I'm kinda surprised it's still online. I half expected it to be shut down at this point.
    Looking at the character list on MAL, it might be Kasumi?

    Fair enough. I just tend to be spiteful in general lmao.

    Yeah, but all their songs sound so similar that I can hardly tell which is which. Especially doesn't help that two of their songs have "Thousand Enemies" in the title and have the same tune. XD

    You bet I am. Never spent a cent on it but I'm still playing it. I thought it'd get shut down with the launch of All Stars. Never did try that game though. Didn't want another rhythm game to get stuck with. Two are more than enough.
    I do enjoy Kasumi's energy. Not surprised you like her though since she reminds me of Nico the most.

    You know more about them than I do and you say the songs are average. I just know they were well done. Been many years since I've watched Angel Beats.

    I don't believe I ever paid either. FTPFTW
    Yeah, same. I remember it being much less of a rhythm game than LLSIF though. Wait, two rhythm games?
    Yeah, she was a little bitch and it was great.

    I mean, it's one of my favourite anime, and I did watch it again a few years ago (sobbed again too)

    It was still something of a rhythm game but even with perfect hits you lost hp. You had to max costumes and accessories to finish harder songs even while comboing. I believe that's what it was.
    I started another franchise's rhythm game on the first or second day it came out. I had already seen its anime so I thought why not when another member recommended it. Bandori. Noobs is playing that too.
    Kasumi doesn't come off as that much of a bitch. She wants to be the main attraction of the group like Nico. However unlike Nico she gets to perform as mostly a soloist.

    A few years ago? Guess you must be coming up on a rewatch again. I know I originally watched it in english but if I were to watch it again I'm sure I'd have to go sub now.

    Oh man that sounds familiar. What awful design.
    Is it another mobile game of "make sure you log in multiple times each day to make use of your energy"?
    Yeah, true, but still kinda bitchy like Nico.
    My heart is not ready. And I only realised recently...
    The OP name being "My Soul Your Beats" is because of Kanade and Otonashi... :'(

    Must be making them money since I see posts about it all the time. Originally they said Niji girls wasn't getting an anime just the game. Of course that was changed but now there are comments saying the stories in the game are better than what the show gave us. I kind of hope that's accurate because that group is my absolute least favourite.
    Yep one of those. Although I only play it 3 times of a morning and night. They cover popular anisongs and 4 of the bands actually play the songs themselves IRL.
    It says a lot when Kasumi is one of your best girls in a group of 13...
    Never thought of this. Is just a title so I don't think, only recite when asked what is x.

    Yeah I bet. There was an AssClass gacha mobile game around the time season 2 was airing, and they shut it down shortly after the anime finished. Just not worth the time/effort I guess.
    I vaguely remember that being the case, but I guess the anime would have promoted the girls to a wider audience for more merch sales. I wonder if the blank self-insert character is a reason people like the game more. XD
    How much time of yours do all these mobage eat? Huh, that's pretty neat tbh.

    The assassination show had a gacha? Doesn't make that much sense since the characters themselves don't have a story to play. If it were a battle gacha game then maybe.
    Considering how popular the franchise is as a whole, they don't especially need an anime to promote themselves. Even before Niji had much info I saw comments about their favourite songs. The side groups were even chosen by fans. Hell 3 of the girls from the gacha were chosen by the fanbase to be leading characters.
    I really hated the character Yu.
    I'd love to say not much since its only 2, but it depends on the event type that they have running. 2 minutes per song plus loading times. Sometimes its very quick. On occasion I spend an hour playing them....
    And then there's Pokemon Go

    It was this weird mobile game where the gameplay was drawing triangles on the screen so that the lines would go around Korosenseis all over the place and your characters would do damage to them. You had to build a team of cards strong enough, different coloured Korosenseis had more health/atk damage, there were cards that gave more health/fever/something. Weird game but I enjoyed it lol.

    Some gameplay footage from the tutorial, skip to like 3:40.

    It didn't sound like much from your explanation. But after watching that brief gameplay... It looked like even less than what you described. It was a rather good show so it would be pretty hard to make a decent game based off it.

    LOL yeah, it wasn't fantastic but I stuck around for the card-collecting aspect of it. It was funny too, it was obviously too small a game to have an English version, so the English-speaking community was super tiny and we all relied on this one person to tell us what buttons to press in events (and they had to Google translate all the text) and never really knew 100% what we were doing. Good times.

    Man, that takes me back

    How much did you spend on the KarmaOkuda glasses shop date card only for it to shut down a few weeks later?...
