Awesome performance! Sad to see Honoka collapse like that T___T I hope this doesn't mean they lose their top 20 rank. Still wondering what Kotori is planning to do, I hope she doesn't leave the group.

With all the videos for songs and the live performance with all nine members, do we really think it is possible that anyone will leave the group? I know it is fun to think of it, but is it even possible? I love the show and have already bought their best of album, their live concert BD and their 4 single CDs this year and their first anime BD but it seems like we are watching Romeo and Juliet and wondering if they will live or die... when it was written hundreds of years ago... LoveLive! was not written hundreds of years ago but for the most part u's is a formed group and we are watching "The Making of u's" so I think the chance of anyone actually leaving, permanently or for even a whole episode is really remote! Anyone disagree?

Even if there is a second season, which I think there will be, I think that 9 has to be the final group unless the first season somehow takes us up to the present.

Still enjoying watching it even though I feel that we know how it ends! We knew all along but the journey here is more interesting than just the final destination.

ask any musician. Bands break up a lot, even successful ones. However, I am conflicted on what's going on with Kotori. I think the offer she got was to attend a prestigious school for college prep in her Third Year. Because of that, I also think, it may not necessarily affect Love Live, if the start of the term is the next year.

However, it will mean Muse will have problems. I don't think Honoka is going to die either, but she may be out of action a bit. Personally I want a second season. I love how they've developed the characters and brought it together. I'd hate to see it end after just a couple more eps

Honoka should get a stupidity prize. Everyone knows that you rest the day before doing anything that needs work from your body. That one day exercise won't help anything quite the opposite. Even if she didn't get sic it would still have been stupid. Considering her friend warn her to rest and she already was weak from before she went out she was really asking for it.
Well i guess there goes down the toilet the first performance where they would have actually tried to say more than one song.
Let's see what will happen to their rank now. Maybe people will feel sorry for her.

Every anime character should know that rain is poison to them. I don't recall in recent anime anytime where a character went out in the rain, or got wet, that they then got sick.


lol..! At least Honoka has some build up to it xD. Cutting on sleep for days, overworking and practicing more than she should, and finally deciding to practice in the rain soaking wet ._. ... She was asking to get sick with that development ^^'


Yeah this time it was actually done realistically because even in reality when you lack sleep and your body is tired and you go out running in the rain then most probably you will get sick. She was already starting to get sick just from overpushing her body so the rain acted just like a push the sole reason.

I couldn't help thinking how dangerous it was for them to perform in the open in heavy rain. They could've slipped or have gotten electrocuted from all the equipment laying around.


I doubt they have much electrical equipment or anything dangerous but yeah the first thing i thought was them slipping while dancing. I mean this groups dance a lot with the songs. The probability of slipping is quite high when you do it in the rain. I guess Honoka collapsing after one song save one of them from slipping if they continued.

Well, that scene exactly like... ah nevermind

Only 1 performance is enough...
3 performance = number 1
XD

IMO, if many of Otonokizaka's students are fans of them
Why don't provided them with some space for them to perform?

5/5

The episode as a plot offers nothing amazing, one can see the same elements that abound in many similar series, but fortunately the narration proves different from similar products and succeeds with his comedy to not get bored, I enjoyed it, then live it was cute! Drawings always well done!

This scene is too cute!

Honoka had to be stupid to go training in the rain... Also, in the rain there is slippery ground and risk of injury.
And she even got herself very bad fever. Eri should be the first who would stop the concert in such miserable conditions, not to mention colapsing of one member doesn't put them in the good light for their fans either.
School director will be furious when she learns of this I am telling you.

Well, the way the things are now, I somehow hope they would get push away from Top20 and don't get to perform in Live Live in the end. It's not like they are suddendly top singers, you know. And ending with friendship theme would be also great.

But on the other hand this isn't Wake Up, Girls type realistic show, so maybe they gets pushed away but then, one of the other groups drop off and they would be pushed back.

Still, with only two episodes left, I doubt they will actually get to Love Live as there would be many rival groups to compete with. Even then, they proceeded pretty fast up untill now and that's something I like because you can't get bored this way.

My bet is that even when they don't get to finals they would gather enough new student applications for the school they avert its disbanding and next year (or next Love Live, who says it's only once a year) they will do their second attempt.

Second season, here we come? Yukiho, Arisa and members of A-Rise would be definitely around with more screentime!

What kind of school is so retarded that it uses a system where a freaking tea club can use the auditorium but the idol club (who would actually need it and have a use for it) can't?

I mean, seriously, what the hell could a tea club possiblty use an auditorium for? No wonder the school's unpopular.

EDIT: Also, obvious plot twist is obvious and just added for forced drama that will ultimately mean nothing.

Honoka did one of the stupidest things ever. Did going out in the rain ever give her the idea that she could get sick? Did she not think if the possibility? She knew she had to sing the next day... if she seriously wanted to exercise she could have jogged on that long ass hallway inside her house lol

Episodes like this one hurt to watch.

So much cringe. Sad that I can predict everything that's going to happen before it does.. Some drama gets really annoying after being repeated so many times. Guessing from how many episode are left, I can assume they don't preform at Love Live this season (I think they won't perform at love live at all). Also it's pretty obvious Kotori won't be leaving, just added pointless drama.

Don't get me wrong, I enjoy the anime. Just wish it didn't follow the obvious stereotypes. Well I'll just shut up and keep watching :p

During the lottery scene, the most intense moment and usually it is going to be some asspull first prize happening, but when the white ball came out I laughed my ass off. Oh sh*t!!! Our leader has fallen! I repeat! Our leader has fallen!!! It is good to do your best but... Honoka just overwork herself this time.

Thoughts on the episode as I was watching:
-Turns out I totally misinterpreted the Kotori letter in episode 9, and it was a present-day event rather than a distant future event
-When they were discussing which songs to perform at the festival, all the members' faces were clearly visible when Honoka stood up to speak except for Kotori's, which was hidden behind Honoka. This little animation decision actually fit the hidden tension in the room pretty well.
-The still of Yukiho and the Otonokizaka pamphlet was pretty impactful since it served as a testament of how far μ's has gotten since the beginning of the season.
-The choice to perform No Brand Girls as the opener also ties into the previous thing, and the theme of progress was pretty prominent in this episode. This was made most evident through the increased visibility of μ's first fans and Honoka's observation of the similarity between the festival concert and the orientation concert.

This episode was pretty good, and seeing Honoka overexert herself made me feel exhausted. It was kind of interesting how they didn't reveal what was in the letter in the episode, but I think the point of doing that was more so that the episode would focus on Honoka's drive to succeed rather than Kotori. Thinking back on the episode and taking into account Kotori's reaction toward Honoka's ideas, this was probably also the reason that Kotori decided to delay her announcement until after the show. Come to think of it, even in previous episodes, there are a bunch of little decisions like this that can contribute significantly to viewer interpretation of an episode.

I got upset when random clubs got the auditorium even if they didn't really need it. Tea club? Seriously?

Looks like Honoka's Rocky-like training backfired. I've never seen such lethal and instant cold/flu symptoms. Besides, it's dark and raining. So dramatic! D:

Not sure what will happen next. Maybe she'll have a miracle recovery thanks to nakama power? Maybe the rest of the girls will keep singing without her? Perhaps Honoka's fainting will become viral and everyone will appreciate her herculean efforts anyway?

On the other hand, it seems that Kotori will leave the school to study abroad or something. I hope I'm wrong.

They made it to the top 20! Despite such an achievement, it only meant that they have to work harder to maintain their rank. Honoka needs more petting ♥

Kotori is considering going abroad and Honoka forced herself to work out in the rain too much... When she started running, I kept saying no in despair only for my fears to be realized when they successfully sang No Brand Girls :'( The song was a reminder on how Muse started their first live with just 9 people in the audience and how far they've gone. They even decided to watch under the deluge just for Muse. I hope they'll be alright...
