| Wow, finally Love Live! is back. I have been waiting for this for too long. Honoka was too cute in the beginning, haha. Random not-wanting-to-join-the-Love Live though; I'm not quite sure what that was? Seems like the producers just put that in the extend the first episode without having to put any actual plot, but I guess it's understandable for an introductory episode. I hope they cut out the whole "If you put your mind to anything, it will happen" thing though; not gonna lie, that part was pretty cheesy lol Looking forward to the rest of the episodes, this is going to be a good 3 months :) |
 |
| Honoka as Student Council President it dosnt seem to fit at all |
 |
| Only redeeming part of this episode was Nico doing her thing and the new OP (which was played at the end.) The scene with Honoka singing in the beginning was quite cringeworthy. Felt like I was watching a musical. |
| Nice opening episode. The animation was good, but something was weird to me about the characters' expressions. Maybe their eyes were all open too wide. |
 |
| Love it's back! Can't wait to see the girls perform at Love Live! Also want to know about Honoka and Kotori's moms history... Cause last episode of S1 looked like they knew each other. |

Cause last episode of S1 looked like they knew each other. was it Honoka and Kottori's moms or Maki and Kotori? maybe they were friends/classmates during high school. But it would be nice to explore their parents past as well. |
 |
| Nice start. The thing I didn't like much about S1 was the slow pace. |
| More Maki X Nico. :3 |
| Still don't get the huge popularity of this series. The school musical part at the beginning was weird. Maki still the best girl. |
| ... The thing I enjoyed most about this episode was the fact that Maki and Nico seem much closer than before. :P That being said, Honoka as the new president surprised me for sure. Stahp being dumb Honoka pls ;_; |
| For one, the OP in 720p: http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x1mqynd_love-live-s2-ed_shortfilms And also the musical intro: http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x1mi630_love-live-s2-musical-intro_shortfilms Was quite enjoyable, but drama still don't work for this show. Just give me some cute girl moments and some crazy ass tournament. I want an idol show that work like Saki. |
| I didn't pay much attention to the first season but now with Nico x Maki... I think my yuri goggles just turned on. |
| http://i.imgur.com/ozBXFCr.jpg Now please tell me these two were on a date. >_< |
| So, this show's like the most tweeted show in Japan for this spring season...with over 150,000 tweets! http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/interest/2014-04-08/love-live-most-tweeted-during-1st-week-of-spring-season |
| Here we go again. It feels weird having this as one of my most anticipated series - the first one was such a shock success for me that it feels odd for me to have any expectations of it at all. But, so far at least, it's living up to those expectations. That's one mighty change of heart for Honoka. I really don't think she's student council president material. Niko being as awesome as always. |
| There is no such thing as shit taste. Only idiots who think everyone should have the same taste as they do. |

| I'm not actually fond of yuri's but I guess the Nico x Maki will be an excemption. |

OrangeRafi said: I'm not actually fond of yuri's but I guess the Nico x Maki will be an excemption. Flag for Maki X Niko |
| Really? They had to spend an entire episode convincing Honoka to enter the next Love Live? Also, I lol'd at the corny song at the start. Maki is still the best girl. |
  |
| Honoka's behaviour was weird during the whole episode... Anyways, this started, and that's the important part. |
 |
| Eat your heard out Haruhi, Honoka is the new god lol. Honestly though the people saying his episode was kind of disappointing are right. It just seemed too much of the childish enthusiasm and also the suppose Honoka drama seem even more pointless than the first season one. I suppose they made her president for saving the school or something? Poor Umi is gonna end up doing all the work really. Anyway so they made another Love live in just six months? WTF that makes no sense. Such things go at least year by year but i guess they can be excused making it so because they take to account school years etc since it's a contest for school idols. Btw am kind of disappointed of what i heard about the contest. I like A-Rise and i don't want to see them out of it from the preliminaries. Avegaille said: therandomestguy said: I'm so glad this show is back I love it! I was sad when the first season finished airing, I didn't think there would be another season. I was confused about something in this episode though, they all looked really surprised about there being another Love Live, but I thought in the first season (I rewatched it recently because of the season 2 airing this season, so I remember this) they said something about being able to enter next time, so I thought it was weird that they were all surprised. Anyway I'm glad they get to do the Love Live it was kinda anticlimactic that they didn't get to do it in the first season. Love Live! <3 Maybe it's a yearly thing, it just so happened that they're doing it the second time for the same year, which surprised them. Yeah that probably the explanation here. |

| Yay!! It's back!! I'm soo happy!! I hope it'll be a good season~! |
 |
| Well, finally I decided to begin this season of Love live. And it is good enought to continue, maybe to the end. |
| The Maki x Nico is STRONG in this episode. Honoka is so quick to give up and motivate as well. |
| Nico Nico Niii~ Well, that's enough for me xD I miss that so much So, Honoka = Navigator? Since she could predict the weather xD SanaeSnake said: The Maki x Nico is STRONG in this episode. +1 |

| So the clumsiest airhead, who is the worst possible candidate for student council presidency, got the position. Who in their right mind would think this is a good idea... One thing I found interesting was that even though lately there are quite a few idol and music-oriented shows, this one actually had a musical number to it. Quite ironic how it's a rarity. Majority of the first episode is focused on getting the protagonist to give a shit about the plot, I'm in for a treat, I can tell. 2/5. Here's hoping there'll be plenty of focus on Umi, Mako, Nozomi and only the absolute bare minimum of Nico, still so freaking obnoxious... |
| You could remove Kotori from the show and it wouldn't change a single bit. She added completely nothing to this anime, save for the fucking hideous drama scenes in s1. |
| Outgoing, fun-loving character somehow ends up as a leader and can tell the heavens to stop raining just because she wants to. Yep, Honoka definitely has Haki powers. A little annoyed at the drama (again? really?) but if the pacing of the rest of the show is like the first season's middle episodes this should be great. |
| how the fuck did i finish first season /10 |
 |
| I don't get why Honoka was resisting for so long (guess she really reevaluted her leader skills after all) but in the end they set the goal for this series pretty high. I wonder what problems there will be on the way. But the most important thing here is that - Live Live! is back! Well, it's sad that three of nine members gotta leave at the end Live Live but that's life... or will they be dancing(stay) together even after that? Another challenge/season to became professional singers? But long into future and it remains to be seen. |
| LOOOOL @ everything Mich666 said: I don't get why Honoka was resisting for so long Same |
| Was that really the best choice for student president? Anyways, I dunno about the passing, it started to be a little drama and then it suddenly ended. Well, at least we know what to expect on the last episode. |
| The opening was so Disney-esque I flipped the hell out laughing. Then when Honoka shouted for the rain to stop, it stopped like magic. And then the horse neighed too, holy crap. This is gold. This show is best as a comedy, but its desperately trying to be dramatic as well. I'm not sure how to feel about it all, but whatever works I guess. |
| Hahaha the final szene :D how she stops the rain. Too funny :D And Honoka as the head girl of the school ? :D seems it gets intresting here ;) good look for the love live! |

| Honoka just became a Messiah, shit bout to get real lol?!! |
 "For the sake of humankind, I forsake my humanity." - Cherry |
| Honoka is now the student council president? Really? She is not suited for the position at all. Also I felt she was out of character in this episode. Not the first time this happens either. |
 |
| Honoka is back in form! Hurrah! |
 |
| Did they not move up a year? Or did Eri just quit bring president mid-year and now Honoka is president (which does not fit her character at all). Wasn't a fan of this episode, just felt like more pointless drama. More singing less drama> |
 |
| -I'm liking the increased visibility of μ's first fans already, MCing the speech at the beginning. Honoka becoming student pres was kind of fitting -I was wondering where Honoka was in that one scene where μ's discovered the second Love Live competition, and the new format actually seems more interesting (from a viewing standpoint) than the first one. -For a while in the middle, things felt really strange, as if the last few episodes of the first season didn't actually happen. The other members of μ's were all surprised that Honoka didn't want to compete but she made it pretty clear that that wasn't the goal. This time her motivation to excel as idols wasn't a desire to sing but an attempt to be considerate of the third-years. I like the new reason a lot better. -Glad to see Honkers back to her ambitious, S1E1 self at the end. I also particularly enjoyed the use of Susume→Tomorrow to snap Honoka back to her senses since it was the song that basically started it all. |
