Nijigasaki Gakuen School Idol Doukoukai (also known as LoveLive! Nijigasaki High School Idol Club), LoveLive! Superstar!!, and LoveLive! Hasunosora Joshi Gakuin School Idol Club (LoveLive! Hasunosora Girls’ Academy School Idol Club). These include TV anime that portray the members’ stories and live events by the cast, covering a wide range of activities.
On November 7, 2025, the movie LoveLive! Nijigasaki Gakuen School Idol Doukoukai Kanketsuhen Dai 2 Shou (LoveLive! Nijigasaki High School Idol Club Final Chapter Part 2) is scheduled for release, and the production of a brand-new 3D anime film for LoveLive! Hasunosora Joshi Gakuin School Idol Club was also announced. The LoveLive! series celebrated its milestone 15th anniversary on June 30, 2025.
