The story
During a livestream for “Love Live! Nijigasaki High School Idol Club,” it was announced that a presentation event revealing the latest information on the “Eigasaki Final Chapter” movie (a pun blending “eiga,” meaning “movie,” with “Nijigasaki”) will be held on October 16. The event will feature Hinaki Yano, Miyu Kubota, and Akina Houmoto. Thread posters, who had been bracing for a big announcement, voiced relief that the mysterious “important news” turned out to be movie-related — but since the word “final” wasn’t used, opinions split over whether this signals the series continuing or winding down. The discussion further escalated into a back-and-forth between Nijigasaki fans and Liella!/School Idol Festival fans arguing over which side gets more support, with the thread stuck in an unresolved argument right to the end.

(＾Д＾)m9 *points and mocks* BWAHAHA
Well, that's it then.
If they had, it would've given the box office at least a bit of a boost — now it's guaranteed to flop again.
Exactly
They missed their window to end it properly. Incompetent.
lmaooooooooo
Maybe March, timed with graduation season?
It's supposedly a winter release, so wouldn't that be February? March would already be spring.

The usual 'celebrating too early' jinx post
Leaving about 50 posts of room to get mocked before the thread fills up — that's some artful timing.
I don't care about Nijigasaki either way, but if it's not 'final,' that means Stars (School Idol Festival, nicknamed "Stars" in the thread) gets to keep going too.
Lol, admitting Stars only survives because of Nijigasaki.
now Desu-doru (a mocking nickname for an idol caught up in a dating scandal) just got hit with another boyfriend leak
the Nijigasaki faithful just can't catch a break from the irritation.
You're so irritated-irritated that you've already forgotten about it 🤭
The ones who can't calm down are the pikaere crowd, lol (mocking nickname for Nijigasaki fans)
Cast: "Actually, there's one more important announcement today…"
*Face turns serious*
*The cheerful BGM cuts out*
"Please take a look at this…"
"Nijigasaki: Rebellion — Anime Adaptation Announced"
"Featuring the Original Cast"
I mean, come on, quit lying already — Nijigasaki didn't even get a finale.
Neither one gets a second glance from the general public.
Getting crushed on sales yet gleefully pointing at YouTube view counts — that says it all.
You bring up 'popularity with the general public,' and the second you're losing on that front you switch the topic to Nijigasaki fans instead? That's just lame…
Sure, there'll naturally come a point where the cast's own activities wrap up,
but I bet they're setting things up so the characters' side can keep going.
'Loved this much' and the box office is only 200 million yen?
Users who won't even spend money saying 'there's no way they'd end it' — that's hilarious.
Nijigasaki gets zero attention from the general public — it's only the faithful who are obsessed, lol
The other current series either have more anime coming or are titles people can actually look forward to, which gives events something to draw a crowd with.
Someone who actually thinks Nijigasaki is popular, lol
So what does Nijigasaki even have coming up?
There's literally nothing to look forward to.
Nijigasaki is the only one Bandai Namco has actually given up on.
It's just Bushiroad pushing it out of desperation.
Haven't you seen things like Unit Koshien (a tournament-style event)?
And where exactly are resources being 'concentrated' on Nijigasaki when it barely has any activity?
Stars is doing way more stuff by comparison.
Background and Key Points of This Topic
“Nijigasaki High School Idol Club” is one entry in the Love Live! franchise, sitting alongside “Hasunosora Girls’ School Idol Club” and the game “School Idol Festival” (referred to in the thread by the nickname “Stars”). The thread’s disagreement centered on the fact that, despite being called the “Final Chapter,” the announcement didn’t take the form of a final-performance event — some read that as a sign the series is continuing, others as just a stopping point. Commenters cited specific figures like box office revenue and queue wait times, but it’s worth noting these all came from individual 5ch posters rather than any official source. The rivalry between the series appears to be an extension of a long-running fan concern over how opportunities get allocated across the different titles within the shared Love Live! franchise.
