The story
A thread on 5ch’s Love Live! board titled “Confess whether you’re really a stan or a hater” got fans openly admitting which entries in the franchise they adore and which ones they can’t stand. The Love Live! series runs multiple groups in parallel — from the original μ’s to Nijigasaki High School Idol Club, Liella!, and now the newest addition, Hasunosora Girls’ School Idol Club — which creates fertile ground for fans to split into “stans” and “haters” depending on which group they follow. The thread ranged widely, covering complaints about each fandom’s manners and the franchise’s business decisions, right down to comparisons of the casts’ looks.
What people said
I love Liella so much that I end up contrarian-bashing it out of sheer devotion
In the end, even Hasunosora ("Tori") turned into just another "Live Live" too (a jab that it's become all concerts, no content)
To be precise, I'm not anti-Nijigasaki itself — I'm anti the Nijigasaki stans
I'm the anti of whoever says "Anyone who says 'I'm an anti of XX~' is an anti" lmao
Just give it up — the Nijigasaki "uncles" (older male fans) are the enemy of Love Live
Honestly, she doesn't look all that much like either Sagara or Homocchi
If anything, the girl in red looks more like Ho—
Background and Talking Points
The Love Live! franchise is defined by running multiple groups and titles side by side since the original μ’s launched in the 2010s — Aqours, Nijigasaki High School Idol Club, Liella!, and now the newest entry, Hasunosora Girls’ School Idol Club — which tends to split fan enthusiasm sharply along group lines. This thread drew a wide range of candid opinions about the temperature gap between fandoms, touching on everything from the casts’ live-concert strategies to comparisons with past entries. In the thread’s later half, though, the discussion drifted into spam posting on the board and moderation issues on other boards, straying from the original “confess your stan/anti status” premise — so this article omits that portion and focuses on the replies where fans spoke candidly about how they relate to each title.
