| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Niko getting more screentime this episode. Fucking awesome. This episode picked up a bit and I'm glad it did. The song was cute. |
 |
| LOL Maki still believes in Santa Claus... and everyone trying to shut up Nico from spoiling Maki belief xD. |
| The new OSTs in this episode are amazing. This is how the µ's sub groups were formed. It's nice that they thought ahead about putting the costume designer, the song writer and the music composer in separate sub-groups so we can have this episode. It's the evidence that they have planned at least 2 seasons of this anime before S1 had aired. I love everything about this episode just as I like everything about the beach episode in S1. The bgm, the sudden wind gust, and the way each member react to the pleasant air of the forest just give you the feeling that you are right there with them, in Maki's vacation home enjoying the freshness of the mountain. I know that I will rewatch this episode many times. Love Live is just like an exotic glass of red wine. The sweetness of it lingers after you've watched it. |

| I love Tent Camping field trip episode. special for maki x niko :3 |

This was a great episode, and Maki shined brightly here, even more so than in the Music START! OVA. |
| Maki is so cute in this episode she still believes in Santa. |
 |
| Lol Nico hit her face on a branch running downhill and didn't fall she has mad skills. |
| I felt that I learned a bit more about the girls of μ's. Maki belivies in Santa xD so cute and innocent. I felt the MakixNico ship was strengthened. Eri is afraid of the dark, Nozomi knows a lot about plants and stars. Umi was sure motivated! Conquer the mountains!! The eyelashes are really pretty, really enjoyed this episode! |
 |
| Unreleased songs only means new song for A-RISE?!? so happy |
tittycakesXD said: Question is, will we need to wait for the OST like for Private Wars? Or will they put out a separate Arise disc this year???Unreleased songs only means new song for A-RISE?!? so happy |
| "You're going to ruin Maki-chan for life" LOL! Maki still believes in Santa so cute :D! When Eri went inside the tent I was like good job getting out of Maki x Nico moment! |
"May those who accept their fate be granted happiness." "May those who defy their fate be granted glory." |
| NikoxMaki. :D LOL 'You're going to ruin Maki-chan for life" XD Can't believe she still believes in Santa. yusocute <3 therandomestguy said: Hahaaha indeedLol Nico hit her face on a branch running downhill and didn't fall she has mad skills. |

| NICO X MAKI. LOTS OF IT. /cue Chitose's nose bleeding I noticed the whole subgroup division. At the end of the first season, I almost thought they were going to split into the subgroups and debut like that for the second season. Hmm, we'll see. I also found the Maki - Santa scene really cute and the fact that the ending is sung by the third years only really hits hard in the heart for some reason. Still, Nico x Maki. I wonder why they've been really heavy on that lately, but I'm not complaining. Oh, and oh god, I went on a long hiking trip today against my will so I can totally sympathize with Rin. |

I wonder why they've been really heavy on that lately, but I'm not complaining. We've got some very considerate producers on our hands. Of course, they're also fueling my desire to play School Idol Festival, so I guess they're doing their jobs right. |
| Maki still believes in Santa and the girls stopped Nico from saying because it's a serious crime. We get to know more the girls in this episode but I still feel mysterious on the character of Nozomi. Maki shined more in this episode especially when she was playing the piano. So thats how they where divided into subgroups. I always wonder how they were divided, I guess that explains it. We gotta thank the producers for giving us more Nico x Maki scenes. Maki truly is my 'best girl she was cute even while sleeping https://scontent-a-lax.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ash3/t1.0-9/1902889_616461578450057_7361906581606948749_n.jpg |

| Oh man Maki still believes in Santa, that's cute :D. LOL they all left Honaka at the train, I laughed but felt bad when she got left out. Eli is afraid of the dark huh, another part of her character. Umi is prepared and bossy as always. Damn Maki is that rich, their house is freaking huge. Nico and Rin in the Slump run, damn that was a long run. Yeah everyone is likable in here, I have no arguments in the characters, their personalities are just perfect. Basically another build up episode, but feels like the power of teamwork and friendship. Now they are determined to make a new song to be the best. |
| Give me the musics/songs please! And Maki is gorgeous in this episode. |
| Maki still believes in Santa Claus ;) Lol they all went out through the window instead of the front door :P Dat chipmunk :3 |
| What's with Nico? It's like she wanted to say something to Maki but they keep on interrupting her. |

Imagine if she knew....*shrugs* Anyway, great episode. I had lots of laughs. And smiles and giggles. I lol at Honoka being left behind, Nico and Rin running down the hill, three of the girls had slump, Umi serious about hiking, Eri being afraid of the dark, and finally some sweet Nico x Maki moments. |
| This was a brilliant episode and I love it to bits <3 The atmosphere...the sounds...the friendship...it was all very heartwarming :D All those moments got me sailing that Maki x Nico ship to the sunset <3 I wholeheartedly thank the producers and pray for more. |
 |
| Hehe Maki still believes in Santa Claus ^^ haha squirrel was funny. |
OrangeRafi said: She wants to tell Maki that Santa Claus does not exist but the girls stops her because it might hurt Maki's feelings. Thanks. But there was this scene before the santa where Nico looks grumpy after Maki shows off and she's looking to pick a fight. Is she always like this towards Maki? |
| sigh.. I wonder how I even finished the 1st season. Then again the 1st season was actually interesting from the get go. Did they change the script writer or director or something? This new season just feel really sloppy. The girls are acting really stupidly and Nico is more annoying than ever, not to mention that one girl who kept adding "nyaa" at the end of every sentence. Was she like that during the 1st season? can't really remember. It seems like they're trying to be as moe as humanly possible yet it's not working somehow. With the exception of Eri and Nozomi, everyone else sounded like a broken record. For the whole episode I kept thinking that someone should give these girls some lozenge. I feel like dropping this but I've never dropped any 2nd season from a show I've watched before. Oh well.. at least there's Nozomi's boobs. |
 |
| Maki is pretty much a Tsundere~ So cute. |
| Do you like cakes? You don't like cakes? I like cakes. |
| This episode made me smile throughout :D I really love Niko's sense of fashion hehe. Really loved seeing a bit of each girl's character and personality ^^ Umi's hiking mania XD Nozomi being a know it all hehe. Honoka and her sleep inducing aura XD She's sleeping 24/7 XD Even sleeping on the cliff :O XD Eri being scared of the dark XD Niko hitting her face in the branches while running down the mountain was so lol Maki is just so cute :3 Still believing in Santa was the most adorable thing ever <3 And how Niko wanted to destroy her dream XDXD Niko's jealousy of Maki is so much fun XD NikoxMaki OTP <3<3<3 Loved the piano at the end. I can't wait for the OST already >.< Also Niko got owned by the squirrel XD Can't wait for nxt ep. More A-Rise is always nice :D |
 |
| aww...Maki still believe in Santa. |
But it's important to remember that a movie review is subjective;it only gives you one person's opinion. http://www.classzone.com/books/lnetwork_gr08/page_build.cfm?content=analyz_media&ch=30 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. |
| All hail Mr.Squirrel, steals Nico's wrist band two times xD Nico runs to grab her wrist band earlier in the episode, and she hits her head with a tree branch LOL. Why didn't she just go grab the wrist band instead of holding on to Rin-chan. I mean it wasn't that low to where she needed to hold on to someone, simply walking to her wrist band and beinding down would have worked. Nico trying to ruin Maki's innocence by saying Santa isn't real xD Eri-chi is scared of the dark, who would have known she has a weak spot. HONOKA sleeping on the edge of a cliff O.O She's lucky she didn't fall. |
 |
| Okay looks like the girl's are ready for the competition |
SweetKotomi said: I mean it wasn't that low to where she needed to hold on to someone, simply walking to her wrist band and beinding down would have worked The slope is actually pretty steep. Looking at the scene, it's about 30 degree angle and walking on it can be dangerous if the surface has low friction. That's why Nico needed Rin's help to extend her reach. That's said, because Nico and Rin are two bakas, they didn't think of using two tree branches to pick it up. Eri-chi is scared of the dark, who would have known she has a weak spot. Her other weakness is that she's unable to distinguish real chocolate to fake ones. Her sister Arisa doesn't know the difference between drinks and foods. HONOKA sleeping on the edge of a cliff O.O She's lucky she didn't fall. Honoka has been living her life on the edge. S1 has her singing and dance on the street! |

scytheavatar said: What's up with their portray of Honaka this season? First she doesn't want to join Love Live because she doesn't feel like it, and now she has always been a slacker but I have never recalled her being Kumin. Honoka didn't want to participate in Love Live out of concern that she may end up hurting her friends again. Honoka is prone to sleeping, especially after eating as shown in S1. |
| |
| Honoka being left on the bus HAHAHA. That's so like her. Umi and her passion for hiking tho. How she almost made Rin die o-o Good ep., hopefully the pace picks up next week :) |
 |
| Love this ep, Nicomaki :) Umi wants to climb the mountain! |
"Fortress Maximus has come himself. Okay! Then I shall get Fortress Maximus to fight me, huh huh huh!" |
| "Aim for it, Love Live Idolmasters!" Woot! Cute episode this week as well~! x3 So they all went to "training camp" huh? x3 I liked the part where Honoka was sleeping on the cliff, LOL! X3 She's so adorable! x3 |
| Check out my list! :O Meep! :3 |
| Muist say Honoka can sleep just about anywhere |
