Is it racist if I assumed that the hair buns girl was the Chinese one based on their designs?

lucky I can't read Korean so it didn't occur to me that was a real name

Wow, racist.

Didn't occur to you that Korean people had names???

Oh, this school used to be another school.

So the whole "school closing down" business actually happened before the series started.

That's an interesting take, and a neat way of getting the whole "school closing down" plot away from the story.

I assume the "school closing down" plot won't happen in Superstar because you can't have a school close down twice in the same anime.

That said, I don't think they'll reuse all the gimmicks of previous Love Live animes, so I'll let this go.

I'm pretty sure this girl will oppose the group for like an episode or 2 before joining them.

I also assumed this at the first announcement. The cynic in me that's seen an awful lot of double hair bun chinese character designs believes that she was originally designed as such, but then someone decided to swap at some point.

I think we'll get like 1 character joining per episode, so we can have the full group halfway through the season.

If we only have 5 members, it doesn't make sense to drag things out with needless drama and waste time on them doing things as a non-group.
