** Hasunosora's fans have their own specific nickname, chosen by [[AudienceParticipation player voting]] on the ''Link! Like! Love Live!'' app (after the actresses have narrowed down the selection during an event): "Hasunosora no Koto Suki-Suki Club", translating roughly to "Hasunosora Lovey-Dovey Club".


Added DiffLines:

* FriendshipOnTheSet: Due to a combination of starting off as mostly industry newcomers, the long hours of training required for ''Love Live!'' performances, and the large amount of idol activities they participate in together, each series' main casts have developed very close bonds with each other. It's visible in their behind-the-scenes interactions, social media, and the frequent guest appearances they do on each other's personal shows. Notably, Arisa Komiya (Dia Kurosawa) has played the lead role in one of Ai Furihata (Ruby Kurosawa)'s music videos, and Nagisa Aoyama (Ren Hazuki) has done the same for Liyuu (Keke Tang).

* ActorInspiredElement: Known as "reverse import" among fans, it is common enough occurrence due to how tied up the characters are to their voice actresses. Examples include:
** Rikako Aida and Nina Hanamiya sharing their [[TerribleArtist ability to create unique drawings]] with their characters Riko Sakurauchi and Kozue Otomune respectively.
** The cover of YYY (a unit composed of You Watanabe, Yoshiko Tsushima and Ruby Kurosawa)'s first single is based on an Instagram photo posted by Yoshiko's voice actress, Aika Kobayashi, with You and Ruby's voice actresses, Shuka Saito and Ai Furihata respectively.

* FandomLifeCycle: The franchise is quite well known in Japan, sitting at minimum a solid Stage 4. It's generally associated with the revitalization of the idol genre in anime, and during the peak of its popularity in the µ's era was almost big enough to be considered mainstream; even after the departure of µ's, Aqours, Nijigasaki and Liella maintain strong, dedicated and active fanbases. Outside of Japan, like most Japanese franchises, the franchise experiences considerably more limited exposure, roughly Stage 3 in scope. The fanbase is comparatively small but tight-knit, and it has enough exposure that many anime viewers are usually dimly aware of the series.

* UsefulNotes/JapaneseHonorifics: With all the characters being in high school, where the sempai-kouhai dynamic really starts to become significant, it's interesting that each series in the franchise ends up taking a different approach to this relationship:
** µ's devotes an entire episode to getting rid of this distinction within the group, wanting everyone to be treated equally.
** Aqours never deals with it at all, due to [[CloseKnitCommunity the setting being a smaller community where people tend to be less formal]] and most of them already having closer ties than just being schoolmates.
** Nijigasaki, as with most things, takes an individualized approach. Notably, Kasumi is the only one to address older girls as "sempai" consistently (which plays up her own youth and cuteness), while Shizuku addresses just the player this way in ''ALL STARS''.
** Liella! is the first to keep the sempai-kouhai distinction as well as having it applied naturally. As the characters advance grades each season, there is a real gap in experience between each grade, both in-universe and to the audience, and that informs the characters' perspectives and relationships even though they are all just as close with each other as the previous groups. The fact that [[EnforcedMethodActing the actresses also join successively alongside their characters]] makes the dynamic real for them as well.

The actual event was organized in blocks of themed "battles", and the performances highlighted some of the franchises' different ways of doing things, but in the end both sides got to show off their best and do lots of collaborations.



** Many of the Japanese voice actresses for µ's are quite well known, including industry veterans like Creator/YoshinoNanjo and Creator/SuzukoMimori. This contrasts with later series in the franchise, which would bring in more [[AmateurCast newcomer and amateur voice actresses]] to voice the characters.

Even newer voice actresses such as Creator/KiraBuckland and Creator/XantheHuynh have plenty of recognition in anime circles.

* AscendedFanon: Though the "Ascended" part is subverted, various Japanese fan artists' submitted chapters are published by Dengeki for the anthology manga.
** On the other hand, Tokita Arumi's submission is pretty much viewed as debatable due to fact that the artist previously worked as the manga adaptation's author.
** While the chapter is already adapted for the ''School Idol Diary'' manga adaptation, Bcoca's "In the Middle of the Dream" for the "µ's Precious Days" compilation book is also considered as an alternate loose adaptation of the said chapter.

* AscendedFanon: AscendedFanon:
** Because of the word "kotori" meaning "little bird", fans often associated Kotori with birds. It doesn't help at all that she was subjected to MemeticMutation after the release of ''VideoGame/PokemonSunAndMoon'' where fans quickly noticed the similarities between her and [[http://i3.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/newsfeed/001/130/388/363.jpg the new bird starter, Rowlet]].

* FandomLifeCycle: The franchise is quite well known in Japan, sitting at minimum a solid Stage 4. It's generally associated with the revitalization of the idol genre in anime, and during the peak of its popularity in the µ's era was almost big enough to be considered mainstream; even after the departure of µ's, Aqours, Nijigasaki and Liella maintain strong, dedicated and active fanbases. Outside of Japan, like most Japanese franchises, the franchise experiences considerably more limited exposure, roughly Stage 3 in scope. The fanbase is comparatively small but tight-knit, and it has enough exposure that many anime viewers are usually dimly aware of the series.

It became so overdone that people started dislike bombing every rip that referenced it (even if only for half a second), something that eventually played an important role in the Reboot [[AlternateRealityGame ARG]].
