User:FigureGunplaFan/Sandbox/Misconceptions and urban legends about Love Live!

Many misconceptions and urban legends have sprung up within the Love Live! fandom.

Most of the published manga in Love Live! are doujinshis.
While this is understandable due to the lack of exposure in the West (and to an extent, some parts of the international countries), the publisher "Manga (漫画)" has been translated and published the first few manga volumes, including the manga adaptations of the School Idol Diary novels.

The Anthology Comics are to the canon timeline, as they're approved and published by Dengeki G's.
False. Even though the anthologies are officially released by the publisher, The stories had no canonicity to any timeline as the stories are made by different artists that draw their own interpretations.

KLab (one of the developers for School Idol Festival) is also involved with every of the Anime's production.
False. KLab is only credited as a "Original Character Designer" for the Love Live! Nijigasaki High School Idol Club Anime. The company has no involvement to the production of the previous Anime.

Nijigasaki High School Idol Club is the true 3rd Generation series.
As far we know, Nijigasaki High School Idol Club is confirmed to be a spin-off to the Anime franchise, as the series had no connections to previous continuities aside from mentioning the franchise's title. This honor goes to Love Live! Super Star!!. though its debatable whether it was part of the main continuity given the lack of mention and/or reference to both Muse and Aqours.

Both "Everyone's Dream, My Dream and Blossoming Feelings are also storyboarded by ECO, given the subtext between Ayumu and Yu
As much we understand ECO's charisma as a Yuri fanartist, he only serves as a key animator for "Something I Can Only Do Right Now".

One of the scenes from My Wish had Nozomi Tojo magically changing into Maki Nishikino.
Memes aside, this was actually an animation error present on the on-air versions.

Both Eli Ayase and Nozomi Toujou are married, as seen in the visual featured in School Idol Diary SE chapter published in Dengeki G's.


Debatable. But what if this marriage turns out to be a costume photoshoot? Even if they're married, the prose story on the very left of the visual would've mentioned their ceremony rather than telling one of Nico Yazawa's expositions, or even made their appearance as an adult couple in Sunshine!! to solidly confirm this.

Then again, this is still a ''strongly debatable matter. ''

The generic female seen in Uranohoshi Girls' High School is actually Umi Sonoda herself.
Her character design is loosely based on Umi's appearance.

Hanamaru Kunikida's Mother has been passed away, given her side plait hairstyle and her lack of appearance in the TV Anime.
False. As much we understand this common stereotype in various Animes, Hanamaru mentions that she is alive in the Blu-Ray exclusive bonus ''Sunshine! Picture Book'' chapter.

Haruka Konoe is actually adopted, given her different eye colors compared to her older sister Kanata and the other siblings such as Alisa Ayase and the Kurosawa sisters.
False. The idea of the siblings sharing the same eye colors is a common misconception in Asia.

Mia Taylor is the first fully-American School Idol.
False. Jennifer (who is also fully American) has previously appeared in Love Live! School idol festival before Mia did.

Kyoko (one of the three girls that studied in the same school as Rina) is voiced by Emi Nitta, given her likeness to the seiyuu and her voice vocally resembling Honoka Kosaka's.


False. Aside from the speculation and memes regarding her appearance, Kyoko is actually voiced by Yuki Kuwahara (桑原 由気).

Ayumu Uehara is actually the first true Yandere in the entire Love Live! franchise.
According to Love Live! School idol diary, Kotori Minami is the first. The way the fans view Ayumu as such (in vein to You Watanabe post-We've Got Stewshine) is due to the fact that she is actually a clingy person. Putting aside from the general memetic depiction, she has shown zero intentions on actually murdering other girls (notably Setsuna Yuki after "Summer Begins." and "Everyone's Dream, My Dream") that interacted with Yu.

Shu Uchida reprises her role as Mia in the English dub.
False. As much the audience wants Shu to be like Karin Kagami to Maho Akashi's English voice, Lindsay Sheppard provides the voice dubbing.

Mia is Australian instead of an American, judging by her voice actress alone.
For starters, Mia's nationality as an American has been explicitly mentioned during her character reveal.

The entirety of Yohane the Parhelion is an Isekai.
False. None of the characters from the original Sunshine anime are shown or mentioned that they've died and reincarnated in the show.

Yoshiko turns out to have another birth date for her Yohane persona, as the Tatehoko Tsubasa MV is reuploaded at late July 2021.
The reason for the MV's reupload is the audio being previously mono instead of stereo, plus the original MV's frame rate were much more janky.
