What's this, TWO good episodes in a row???? almost like I wasn't watching the 2nd season of Love Live. Please, PLEASE keep it in this direction! The last two episodes is enough for me to bump the score up by one point.

The song is really good and very fitting with the story. They did a great job weaving the story all the way to the song. So much that I wasn't even bothered by the barrage of Nico Nico Nii although that's probably because it's Nico's sisters doing it.

Rain, snow and we will most likely see typhoon at Love Live (event) venue...

SNOWHALATIONSNOWHALATIONSNOWHALATIONSNOWHALAAAAATIONNNN~!!!!!

My God, this was episode was honestly really amazing, everything just fit SO PERFECTLY, topped by Snow Halation (which personally has been my favorite Muse song for the longest time) just made for an episode that honestly totally destroyed me. I pretty much shed a tear multiple times throughout the episode, almost cried when Snow Halation started playing. This is most likely my most favorite Love Live! episode like ever, it was just pulled off so well.

I'm definitely looking forward to the next episode as it looks to be pretty good as well. For the time being, back to looping Snow Halation~! <3
Will I fall in love someday? I wonder?

It might be a shout out to the fans who had endured one of the worst winter days in Tokyo's history to get to the Love Live concert this year. The part about the car and train stop running actually happened there.

Stupid girls doing stupid things. No no, let's be at the school's open-house instead of the performance venue. This episode was so full of fake drama. I couldn't stop laughing through most of the episode.

It took them 5 minutes to get to the school gate in that snow. How far did they actually have to go? Half a block? 1hr to get there... running, 4-5 miles? No way they went that far... Roads are blocked? I didn't see any blocked roads on the path they took. Wrong size boots... have fun dancing with those blisters...

All for what? Snow Halation? Old song is old. Also, no audience was shown DURING the performance... but at least there was a performance. Average episode for this series anyways.

Good episode. So the competition is now over and they just need to wait for the result?
But it's important to remember that a movie review is subjective;it only gives you one person's opinion.

It doesn't matter if you like LoGH,Monster etc.If you are a jobless or college/school dropout living in your mom basement, you are still an unintelligent loser. Taste in anime does not make you a better person.If elitist don't exist, casual pleb and shit taste also don't exist.

Maybe they fast forward-ing it?
With train it's 5-10 minutes
When they actually spend 30 minutes to run... Maybe something like that?

Remember Dragon Ball? 10 minutes until the planet destroyed takes 10 episodes

Good to know that a dozen of high school girls can shovel enough snow away in a blizzard that they carve a road through an entire city to a length that takes almost an hour to run on foot.

This episode was so perfect. Even though the whole snowed in/late thing has been done to death, I love how it was executed. As for their performance, I love how dazzling they were and it had a very Christmas like atmosphere to it. Their outfits were like snowflakes and it was like walking in a winter wonderland.

Oh and Nico's sisters imitating her was absolutely priceless. Must find a gif of that.

The episode was kind of....overdramatic. The cute Eli x Honoka hug was really cute! Until well.....when Honoka ruined it with her snot LOL.
Nozomi looks really way more cuter with a side ponytail instead of her pigtails!!!

Watching Snow Halation when it was released in 2010 and comparing it to this years....man has the animation changed.

I have to agree, Nozomi looks cuter on her Snow Halation hair.

It was fun to see Snow Halation and the beginning of the episode was really nice. The rest was, however... just too much. I can't even take the series seriously. Feels like they're constantly over-exaggerating in the second season <_>''

As much as I liked the song, the running through snowstorm parts were overdramatic and corny as hell. The 1st season used to use that kind of stuff for comedic effect, because it knew how to genuinely pull at your heartstrings without being melodramatic. So it really was hard to take it seriously.

Wow, this episode was really deep. It's like yeah, we might not know a damn thing about romantic love, but there's many other kinds of "love" out there. And I didn't know Snow Halation had such meaningful lyrics, and I've been listening to it for forever..

Love Live! is incredible :')

That was quite a snowstorm... well... a "light" one to be exact.
I'm surprised that they managed to go from the school to the place where the contest is being held.
It was a good episode.

That running through the snow scene is one of the most cringeworthy scenes I've ever seen in anime. It was trying way too hard to be dramatic for no reason. Also, they're kinda stupid for being at some open house when they should have been at the event venue. Even more lazy forced drama cos this series doesn't understand how to do good drama.

That whole drama with snow and time was unnecessary. They should just go with everyone in the morning. I like this anime, but this episode was just ridiculous.

And I'm not hyped at all by their song. It was nice, but it's not something which I want to listen again.

This episode was my favourite out of both seasons, mainly because the song makes me cry every time I watch it. I liked that they involved the rest of the school in it as well, because so often it's all about the girls in Muse, and while I love them to bits, it was awesome to see the school support come through for them again.
