The fall 2017 simulcast of Love Live! Sunshine!! is close to wrapping up but there’s still some fun to engage with. Crunchyroll hasn’t done too much in the way of clips with this show but they’ve got two fun ones out now that are timely. The first focuses on a very special Christmas gift that I know a lot of fans would love to get while the second comically goes into the ultimate betrayal that Dia comes up with in her mind as to what Ruby may really be up to.
Animated by Sunrise, the first season it was directed by Kazuo Sakai based on the series composition from Jukki Hanada. Yuhei Murota worked on the character designs for it.
The Aquors cast includes Inami Anju as Chika Takami, Rikako Aida as Riko Sakurauchi, Nanaka Suwa as Kanan Matsuura, Arisa Komiya as Dia Kurosawa, Shuka Saito as You Watanabe, Aika Kobayashi as Yoshiko Tsushima, Kanako Takatsuki as Hanamaru Kunikida, Aina Suzuki as Mari Ohara and Ai Furihata as Ruby Kurosawa.
