Good episode. One thing was strange though. The majority of the audience came in just for the last few moments on their concert, but they were cheering them on like hell. I get that it's because they told us everyone there is warmhearted, but it just stood out to me... because if I was told the wrong start time of the event and I would only get to witness the last few moments of it I would be... well, upset. lol
Some things I liked specifically: Ruby's voice! It's adorable when she switches from lively to shy and vice versa. Riko trying to evade the dog... how did she even get to be in that situation? Mari is a fun character and that joke with the Akiba Dome ACTUALLY had me fooled. lol Ah, talk about Mari, I do find it really odd that she is actually the school's director... I mean, I don't mind or anything, it's just odd.

It looks like Aquors beat Muse because they got a full house, while Muse only got a few people. So Aquors > Muse already at premiere. Even the group name has more meaning and dept than Muse. Aquors is named after the beach where the 3 main girls met, while Muse is just about musical goddess. On the other hand, it is kind of sad that Aquors have no meaning to the other 6 girls because they didn't have the first encounter at that beach. I am not a fan of their first song, but many have said it is better on reddit, so another win for Aquors.

As for Aquors, maybe their first performance as a full group of 9 will be on that beach... Quote:

One thing though that the reddit users did point out though with that concert, is the scene where Dia confronts Aqours where their success came from the other school idols before them and the good will of the people. It's rather meta if you consider that Dia is a hardcore muse fan (and not a Love Live fan) and she blasted Aqours's reason for existence is because of muse. Chika fully admitting that it's true but still wants to prove to us that they are going to be special in their own way certainly made me appreciate what this episode was doing. Thrown in the 3 birds flying in the sky before the ED credits also proves how meta this episode got.

The only thing bad about reddit is that all opinions that are neutral, not even negative are downvoted and hidden. Apparently BiBi can't even touch Guilty Kiss now, just blown away and buried. Honestly though, the only thing i read on reddit is throwaways' Primer reviews. Everything else is just bandwagon comments.
And Tripple_R, were't you the one that told me i should start supporting Sunshine as a LL fan? Link to the primers, if interested https://www.reddit.com/r/LoveLive/co...ete_ai_no_uta/ Last edited by Pen3; 2016-07-16 at 19:20. |

This is Midnight Cats. Left is from Sunshine, right was from the original. And have they grown up nicely. Potential rivals then?

As a big Star Trek fan, I really like the original series, TNG, and DS9. I may make some comparisons between the three, and I may have some preferences between them, but I like and support all 3. I like this call-back. One of the nice things about Sunshine is that it's helping to further flesh out Love Live-verse.

I just wish we get more movies centered around Patrick Stewart or just the TNG timeline. A movie centered around DS9 wouldn't be bad either. PS: Star Wars is crap. |

Hopefully the time skip is only a few years long, if there is any.
I have this feeling that Aqours will compete in the LL contest representing their city, making it all the way to the final but losing to a group from Tokyo, preferably Muse or a similar group as Muse in case the real one is no longer around at the time. I could see Midnight Cats as a potential rival, but I believe Aqours will be able to best them in the semifinal or even the preliminary rounds. I'm still hoping for an Aqours-Muse meeting. Sorry, no idea how the LL contest works, too lazy to Google too. |

Like yourself, I'm also more of a Star Trek fan than a Star Wars fan. Similarly, instead of arguing over which Love Live is better, we should all come together in preferring Love Live in general over iM@Sverse! Speaking of which, I certainly prefer Sunshine to Cinderella Girls. Love Live is probably managing its spinoff sequel better than iM@S did.

That ended up much better than expected I was quite scared when the live arrived, but it turned out to be a very different experience from what the original trio had to go through, and that final intervention from Dia and Chika's reply really sealed the deal: If it felt undeserved that the girls got full house first try, is because it kinda was, but it shows there's a lot of love behind Chika and co., and after seeing that, how can she not keep going? Definetly a much more believable motivation than "gotta save the school", and it's nice to see Chika's family playing a role in the story. Also, that's a pretty nice song, not quite as catchy as the best bits of Start: Dash, but I definetly want to hear it whole.
I won't lie, it is kinda weird to see so many paralells this episode, but the first live was, to me, one of the strongest moments from the original, so awkardness was inevitable. Hopefully everything is smooth sailing from here. Besides, it seems the third years could be bringing a different flavor of dynamic, so there's that to look forward to. On more cheerful news, this episode probably had the best beginning ever. To anyone who's seeing her for the first time, say hello to the queen of Crazy, Mari Ohara! That sound you're hearing is common sense dying quickly but painfully Really, that opening was amazing; the moment the helicopter started getting closer I was going "yes, do it, Mari! Do it!" That said, I am kinda dissapointed she turned out to be the Nozomi of the group, and clearly so. It just doesn't feel like it fits with the insanity very well, but maybe I just need to see her showing a softer side. I still remember smiling like an idiot when Nozomi got embarassed when the others came over to visit. Next week, its time for Chika to live up to her promise from episode one, and recruit Ruby and Maru! Oh, and You is awesome. About time she showed what that energy of hers can do. And Chika sure knows how to put the moves on the ladies. Looking forward to doujins, worksafe or otherwise. Quote:

I live in a rural area myself, and I've personally seen people fight to maintain their local schools and libraries and emergency care facilities and other important buildings/institutions. Heck, as a teenager, I personally took part in efforts like this myself. And I also had a family connection here - my father taught for 30 years at the same school that I attended. Some of this is for sentimental reasons, and there's nothing wrong with that. And some of this is for very practical reasons. But in any event, it is very believable. And it's definitely a big part of why I love the original Love Live. I greatly admire μ's and their successful heroic efforts to save their school.
