I called this a perfect episode; their determination, their spirit, and their song, all of this makes the episode 10x better.

It's like a modify version then the original song, with its bright energy, and colorful designs. It was pretty phenomenal imo.

I also played this song on Love Live School Idol Festival game. I don't know how many times I played this song, but it's one of my favorites and played probably like 50 times already XD.

I found the whole talking in the blizzard cheesy but SNOW HALATION. SNOW HALATION.

Wow, I was really worried when they were running through that blizzard, but it ending nicely when the students shoveled the snow off their path. The song they performed was great too, one of their best ones yet! :)

Snow Halation is the first and still my absolute favorite song of theirs. So happy that they performed the song in the show.

seems like mother nature didn't want them to perform lucky thanks to their un-named classmates you know the ones that always show up(the things they do for them wish i could actually say who they are lol),they made it

still i have to say Snow Halation has to be the best song from them i've heard makes sense it being their first.

I don't know why but it's so funny when Nico-chan's little brother mispronounced "muse" as "muze" and showed her a group of poorly made snowmen.
They remade the Snow Halation PV! The stage paired with this song just creates an amazing atmosphere.

SNOW HALATION, that song is amazing ^^

Nico Nico Nii just got even better and moer. Nice morale boost for Nico.

That blizzard really came at a bad time, but the school loves muse so there was no way snow can keep the girls from singing their song SNOW HALATION.

Nico's little sisters did the "Nico-Nico Nii" with Nico was cute.

That's Snow Halation music was very good at the end.

Gotta admit, that was a good episode. Loved Snow Halation. And the piano piece at the beginning of the song was godly. Didn't really like the snow storm scene. I feel it was extremely anti-climactic and like it wasn't REALLY needed.

Though it did add a touch of effort to what girls were striving for. Showed how much they really wanted to perform in Love Live. Great episode and looking forward to more.

Probably the best all season. Despite the drama, they managed to avoid the melodrama trap the first season fell into.

Every time I watch this anime, my mood changes for the better no matter what! Absolutely loved the episode and definitely the best episode of the season!

We won't know whether they will make it in the end, but seeing how they pulled off Snow Halation with the help of all the students of the school, I can safely say this season won't get anything lower than an 8/10 from me.

Despite being a School Idol Anime, the best thing about LOVE LIVE is not just about being idols and performing songs; as an anime it is something more than that. It has an innocence about it, it has a mild warmth about it. It is not difficult to realize the anime has the capability to make someone feel better.

5/5 for the episode and bumping my rating to a 9/10 and I look forward to the coming episodes!

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.

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.

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.
