A main trailer has been released for Love Live! Nijigasaki High School Idol Club Kanketsu-hen Dainisho (Love Live! Nijigasaki High School Idol Club The Movie – Finale – Chapter 2), the second of a trilogy that will conclude the Love Live! Nijigasaki High School Idol Club anime.
We see parts of Ai Miyashita’s and Mia Taylor’s performances, various group shots, and a bit of drama as some of the cast grapple with worries and conflicts related to being a school idol.
The footage also confirms that the loss of the visual director credit held by Bocchi the Rock! character designer Kerorira isn’t without reason — the character designs of this second chapter no longer bear resemblance to Kerorira’s simpler-looking forms.
Last year’s Love Live! Nijigasaki High School Idol Club The Movie – Finale – Chapter 1 saw the Nijigasaki High School Idol Club receiving an invitation to the School Idol Grand Prix. While the first movie followed Ayumu, Kasumi, Shizuku, Kanata, Ema, and Lanzhu as they headed off to Okinawa, Love Live! Nijigasaki High School Idol Club Kanketsu-hen Dainisho will focus on Setsuna, Ai, Rina, Mia, Karin, and Shioriko and feature Kyoto, Osaka, and Kobe as its main locations.. There will be an appearance from Mia’s older sister Chloe as well.
