Anime Pilipinas has learned the Filipino-language anime channel HEROtv is set to premiere the anime movie Love Live! The School Idol Movie this January.
A representative of the network has told APN the 2015 animated movie of the franchise will feature new dubbers, different from those who voiced on the two television anime series, which was also aired on the channel.
The story of the film begins after the events of the second season, at the graduation ceremony of the third-year students. Knowing that the graduation of the third-year members means the end of μ’s, the nine girls take a walk around the school filled with memories. However, when the students attempt to leave the school gates, a single email is sent to them, and the curtain on a new story for μ’s begins. (Synopsis from SM Cinema)
