While it seemed like a bit of an odd acquisition at the time, few could have predicted the popularity bloom that Love Live! School Idol Project would experience after the first season aired in Japan. As such, fans of the series will have to keep a keen eye out for the series because although NIS America has released the first season of the anime in North America today, many of the online retailers carrying it have already sold out.
This includes both NIS America’s online store that sold both a standard Premium Edition as well as a Concert Set that came with a bonus CD and popular online anime store Rightstuf.
If you can find a copy, the series itself will be on Blu-ray and the Premium Edition comes with a 28 page full color hardcover artbook that contains character info, episode guides, and illustrations as well as a collectible slipcase.
