The drama was overblown, so cloying, so far up its own arse that it thought minivans flying into the moon is apparently what idol fans were clamoring for. And sure enough, every single concern I had was present in the second season, with a few extra frustrations tossed in for maximum joy. The first season was decent, OK, but left a lot to be concerned about regarding its future. It's a heck of a lot better than the second season, but that ain't saying too much.Īs someone who still holds the original Love Live in somewhat high regard, Sunshine was quite frustrating to watch. Love Live! Sunshine!! The School Idol Movie: Over the Rainbow revolves around the remaining Aqours members as they venture out to search for their missing seniors and, at the same time, try to figure out a way to change the new school's mind. Meanwhile, another problem arises: the third-years have unexpectedly gone missing during their graduation trip! This sets Aqours on a new goal-to prove that Uranohoshi students are serious in their clubs as well. However, to their surprise, the building seems to be abandoned! It turns out that due to the school board's worries regarding how the freshly transferred Uranohoshi students may burden the clubs, they were instead sent to a branch school. While searching for a new place the remaining members can use to practice, they decide to visit the new school they will soon enroll in. Following the closure of Uranohoshi Girls' High School, the third-year students-Dia Kurosawa, Kanan Matsuura, and Mari Ohara-have just graduated, leaving Aqours with solely the first and second-years.
