The Love Live! franchise continues its expansion with Nijiyon Animation, now available on Crunchyroll with both English dub and subtitles. This 12-episode series, produced by Sunrise, offers a comedic glimpse into the daily lives of the Nijigasaki High School Idol Club members, rendered in full CGI.
Adapted from the 4-koma manga, the show focuses on chibi versions of the idols engaging in lighthearted, slice-of-life scenarios. It’s a departure from the main series' idol performances, leaning heavily into cute girls doing cute things with a strong comedic bent. The series aired in Winter 2023 and holds a 7.15 MAL score.
For fans seeking more of the Nijigasaki cast beyond their musical endeavors, Nijiyon Animation provides a fun, low-stakes viewing experience. The complete 12-episode run is ready for binge-watching.
