Another episode with a lot of Niko?! Wow. NICO NICO NII. I approve of this.

It was a fun episode overall imo although reflecting a bit on their idol parts was also something to take notice of. Niko ;.;. Still, I'm glad she can play the role of a role model to younger kids. SUPER IDOL NIKO.

A teenage idol group named "Mutant Girls", wearing ninja-themed outfits? I see what you did there..

I might be forgetting something, but I think this episode marks the fist time that the idol dating ban has been mentioned on this show. Of course, this show is no Wake Up, Girls!, so it's only played for laughs, but still, I was a bit surprised they even acknowledged it.

Anyway, the ending was predictable, but still very sweet - revealing the truth about μ's to Nico's siblings without her losing face. Also, good job Sora Tokui for playing all the Yazawa siblings!

Lol...

Honoka, your dreams only have like a 5% standard deviation from the future O.O.
I liked how Rin got singled out to chase after Nico xD to squeeze between the tight space.
Gotta love their reactions to being called Nico's backup dancers xD.

Eli - "Hello. I'm your BACKUP DANCER called Ayasa Eli. If you hear this, RESPOND IMMEDIATELY!"
Maki - "Respond Nico-chan!"
Umi - "What do you mean we're backup dancers!?"
Rin - "EXPLAIN THIS TO US!"

Umi's scary face even when she's not waken up from her sleep is awesome XD. Even funnier when Honoka even notices her angry aura leaking out xD.

Wota's are reallly serious about idol dating ban ._. ... But these are school idols, so I'm doubtful it's even serious enough to drag them through the mud for dating and not maintaining their "purity".

And this is why Nico is and will always be best girl.

Seriously though I loved seeing this side of her life. I cried a little. What wonderful character development for Nico, i fully approve. Now they just need to develop NicoMaki some more and Love Live will be complete.

Glad to see u's is going to Love Live as well! (totally unexpected, didn't see that coming, much shock, wow)

Also "Mutant Girls" ... really?

Nico reminds me of Leo Getz from Lethal Weapon in terms of character and group dynamics. Can't say I find her to my taste.

As for the episode, what can I say? It's LoveLive! I'm loving every moment of it :)

They beat the preliminaries! That dream though was close till the last sound of "mu...se". Umi's reaction and Nico wrecking her drink was funny.

An episode all about Nico! Nico's younger siblings were all so cute!
A concert by Nico alone to help clear the misunderstanding! Nico really does care for her siblings, to the extent of using photoshop for the pictures!
Alot of "Nico Nico Ni" in this episode, even Kokoro did it!
Seeing Nico as a first year was somewhat sad to watch.
Great episode, really enjoyed it!

LOL at Honoka's dream. It almost came true, and who knows maybe using A-RISE's stage helped them advance further in the preliminaries.

We got 3 new characters, all 2 from Nico's family who are Kokoro, Koutarou, and Cocoa.

Nozomi can't get in between the two vans because of her boobs so she uses Rin-chan who has a small chest lol.

Nico's pose is so KAWAII ^_^

Damn, lots of character development for Nico-chan, makes me like her even more now. It was pretty sad that Nico was setting up as an Idol in her first year, then it goes downhill after that.

The ending scene was perfect, singing it in front of her siblings and will be as equal for u's now :D.

Muse's are going to the preliminaries, yay! x3 I expected that, but the first scene, which was later told it was a dream, scared me for a while! x3

Anyways, this episode was mostly based on Nico's life as a Super Idol...and the other members as backup dancers. xD LOL! That was odd. x3

Oh! And her siblings: 2 cute little sisters and an adorable little brother? Cute! x3

Love Live 2 keeps on delivering, goddamn.
Not going to lie, the whole "Mu...tant Girls" and it being a dream made me laugh.
Loved seeing everyone's reactions when they found out they got through.

Man, I loved seeing this side of Nico. Many feels were to be had.
Seems like we'll be getting more individual-focused character episodes, which I am all good with.

Episode focused on Nico!
The kids are very cute, especially Kokoro, is a lot like her. Although Nico has much ego, basically I understand her... if she continued with that lie is because she didn't want to sadden those siblings who love, respect and idolize her.
And thanks to these great friends she could finally find a solution and put an end to that farce. It was a true act of friendship by all, and was reflected in the smile of Nico in the end, for the first time was real and unfeigned. When Nico smiles is even more cute!

This episode is soooo awesome.

Nico's siblings are so cute! especially kokoro-chan :P

And dat troll opening xD


Anyway is it only me or are the 3 Nico siblings actually a reference to the (semi-annoying) 3 girls in Date A Live which the last girl always says "that's so lame"?
Cute is justice.

Episode was definitely a lot different than expected considering the preview we got last week, but that's definitely not bad, I loved it.

If the next week's episode really is focused around Rin.... then I'm super freakin' excited, it's what I've been waiting for this whole season, her and Nozomi.

Dat troll opening. I was totally thrown for a loop there.

Nico Nico nii~! So this turned out to be an all-Nico episode. Niiiiice.

Nico, niku, ni-go!

That truck scene: no coincidence Rin's my second-favorite character... no coincidence >_>

I wonder what Nico told her siblings between the time she was an idol during first-year and when she joined μ's.

I totally forgot about her brother. He sounds a bit dumb for his age... hmm.

So that's what the resignation slips were for.

Ending... d'aww.

"It was just a dream!" Ikr I was spooked for a second as well, Mutant girls though if that was a an actual group their songs would have to be weird :P

That smile when Nozomi made Rin go between the vans >:3

Xd that means 3 of the girls have little sisters, but she is so small though!

All those lies Nico has been telling her siblings :P

XD that toy, but wtf is the little bro wearing, looked like something my sister would wear >.>

Such a sweet thing to do for Nico, to bad we couldn't hear her song, well she got to sing the end song at least.

I read this and lost it - I don't even know why.

Loved this episode because it was centered around Nico and I think I put my yuri goggles on too tight (NicoMaki~). I love her cute little siblings & how Soramaru voiced all three of them. Loved the Nico solo ending. Probably my favorite episode so far just because of the Nico overload.

I also had some feels when I saw first year Nico trying her best to achieve her dreams.

LMAO. Funny episode. Too many funny moment.
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.

Wow the 2nd half was actually good. I wish they had stayed on that path for the entire season. Muse reflecting on Nico's action was the only good thing in this 2nd season so far, the only scene that even has the same feel with Love Live s1.

I hate the 1st half though especially every time Nico did her "NicoNico smile". Gosh, stop trying so hard to be cute!!
