I don't remember them doing much in Season 1 (which surprised me because I went into Love Live! knowing NicoMaki is super popular) besides really arguing (Kotori did the most NicoMaki thing with the heart shaped straw) but I remember Season 2 being like the exact opposite and being like jam packed with NicoMaki. Basically they did a full 180 because I believe that NicoMaki is like the most popular pairing and they were like "oh shit, we need to pander so we can make more money."
To be fair, I only watched up to episode 8 of the second season. But season one had zero NicoMaki. They barely said three words to each other during the whole season, no significant glances or anything. And what I watched of season 2 wasn't much more, outside of that one scene people talk about. And honestly I was looking for it since everyone said season 2 pushed the pairing.
I dunno, maybe they stuffed it all into the last four episodes?
In any case, Nico got a personality transplant in the anime, so she's basically a different character with the same design. Then again, so did Maki (not being hostile to her parents, more closed-off), and the rest. Which is why I say it's possible to call NicoMaki canon for the manga, but not at all for the anime. The continuities are too different.
I get your points, but play the love live mobile game. DAT CHEMISTRY! Also that NicoMaki song Zurui yo Magnetic today. Basically a love ballad to each other.
I dunno, people pair anyone for no good reason. Like the blonde hair guy and Izaya in Durarara.
people complaining about scanlations taking too long to translate and I'm just going to shout THANK YOU, AND TAKE YOUR TIME, because this is the type of manga will never reach my country, so THANK YOU A LOT, TRANSLATOR-SAMA!!!!
I love the different take on the characters and their background, especially Nico and Eli. I also like the order they joined, instead of 2nd years first, then 1st years and then 3rd years like what the anime and Sunshine did.
