| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Those scenes in the beginning were brilliant :3 Too bad it wasn't real. But anyways, a short but fun OVA imo. I loved how the group go together again for fun especially with the song. Their outfits are pretty too. I can't wait for season 2 now! |
 |
| WTF did I just watch, most of the episode was like something out of an M. Night Shyamalan film. The song is Music S.T.A.R.T and it turned out to be good and the scenery and outfits were perfect for it. |
 |
| The quality of this OVA is amazing! It has improved from the main series. I'm glad Sunrise put all that money to good use. Hoping S2 is just as beautiful. Little Maki is too cute hnnnng.... |
 |
| Few minutes in it and i was like LOL WTF!! Loli Maki!! And her popularity keeps rising Can't wait for season 2! |
What was my signature again? |
| When I saw this listed on anime streaming sites, It brought back smiles and I just had to watch this. Loli Maki is adorable. The dance is good too. Now, I'm excited for season two next year. Gonna watch this again when subs comes out. |
| I'm not sure what just happened but thank you sunrise for giving us loli Maki. |
[center] |
| Glad to see more Love Live. Just a taste with 2nd season next year. |
 |
| Did not expect the supernatural theme is for real and I watched the video expecting that it was some misunderstanding disguised as supernatural happening lol And all the amazing is that none of the girls look too shocked to see a loli Maki growing into a high school Maki right before their eyes lol So this is why we see a loli Maki in the PV for the single earlier... I think Maki really got it lucky to be the center for this single because none of the girls who made the center had this privilege of being cast in the main role for an anime OVA - I guess Love Live is successful enough to be given a budget to have such thing done for its single... The beautiful sakuga and all the various troll faces remind me a lot of why I am so fond of Love Live! And they even put in a really adorable cut of Niko x Maki It is just great stuff !! |
| So MAL finally starts locking news threads that are only a few weeks old? I wonder where was the announcement of this change? Or we are seeing yet another case of changes made that impacted users but not communicated to them? I wonder how long people would put up with this. As much as I have a bunch of information to share about anime announced recently I cannot share it in news board, and the anime series is too disorganized and chaotic to share information except with people already interested in the particular series. |
| Is this already aired? if so why it says "Status: Not yet aired" in http://myanimelist.net/anime/20745/Love_Live!_School_Idol_Project_OVA ? |
| Mini Maki you're the best |
 |
| Give us a Season 2 !!! I can't wait to watch this OVA and for the next season. :D |
Nothing ventured, nothing gained (Girls und Panzer der Film ) / from Nishizumi Miho |
| Harasho! |
| The Maki overload please me greatly. |
 |
| This was a beautiful OVA, and the Music S.T.A.R.T. song is excellent. I'm so excited for season 2! |
| Well... this was weird. |
I have my own anime blog. It's called Anime Viking. Hope you'll you read it! |

| I loved the part where Niko was punching Nozomi's Tojos and didn't seem to mind. |
Marow said: Well... this was weird. I think I would have preferred just the music video. The OVA didn't really do anything for me. It felt weird and it was only about ten minutes. |
| This was pretty stupid until the music video. 6/10 |
| Lol the start pretty much made no sense at all. However im glad to see all the characters again and how much i love them. Loli Maki is not for the faint heart, too much moe overkill. |
| Has no one here watched Inception? |

I think I just watched... nothing. Except for the singing. That is, until I see your comment. Now I can go back to sleep in peace. |
| das right, boi |
| Maki <3. CG dance is shit. I want it animated instead. |
| Then it wouldn't be Love Live, boi |
| Meh OVA. I don't know, it felt like an advertising for the single or something. I also skipped the music part (I find the music to be boring [no I don't even know why I started this]). |
| What a weird plot that seemed to come out of nowhere. =\ Still, it was nice to see the characters again. The ending song was great too. Also, is it just me, or is did this OVA lag/seem glitchy in places? |
| Salmon is delicious. |
| I have posted this on Love Live club, but since many people are confused about the plot I'll give my 2 cents here: It's the concept of "a dream within a dream." Maybe what really happened is the group got a another sleep-over night and they all dreamed the same dream as Maki. That's why no one was surprised by the sudden transformation of loli Maki into a teenage Maki lol. The second dream within it is Maki's nightmare about being captured by shady hood people (8 of them btw. Who knows if they represent the remaining members of Muse in Maki's mind). The concept is about reiterating Maki's feeling of exclusion from the group because of her tsundere personality. Loli Maki is the part of her that loves Muse, loves music, and wants to confess that feelings out loud. Hence, they showed the cut to loli Maki's confession after the transformation. This is not like an OVA, but more like an extended intro to the music video. Thus, you should not view it as continuing content from the anime or as a self-contained wholesome story. It should be combined with the music video to tell the story of their awesome sleep-over party with beautiful dreams :) |

| So... what the hell was that? Really, I'm confused. Sudden supernatural theme, Maki seeing loli, Maki being loli, Maki reverting, retarded kokuhaku ("I allways wanted to be an idol" would at least make sense, confession of love made absolutely none) and suddenly MV with generic sugary song. I know, Maki is the best LL next to Kotori but it was so weird I couldn't properly enjoy it despite some really sexy shots of her (dem lips). Also, characters being ooc (neko Umi + everybody except for Maki being absolutely nothing more than generic idol with no personality in the MV), not really something I enjoy. Well, I guess it was pretty. Ehh, 6/10 overall? |
| That ending performance was absolutely fantastic! I never really even pay attention to music in anime, but Love Live! just seems to know the formula to making great songs that even I like. ThangLong said: Th-That actually makes a lot of sense. Thank you for this. |
 |
| lol I was going to say how this OVA had nothing to do with the girls being idols.. Good song at the end. Not the greatest, but I'll take any Love Live! pre-s2 teaser I can get. Decent OVA overall (art, story, sound). |
 |
| Nice quicker pacing than the series... and a song! though their dancing was silly. Enjoyable. |
  |
| Don't know what was going on with the dream thing. It was pretty cheesy. The song saved made this OVA worth it. |
| Got back in a dream for 20 minutes ~ That was great :3 |
| Loli Maki is so cute *.* It was a good OVA, it was a shame that it wasn't longer, it was really interesting. The music sequence was full of colors. |
| I have no idea what i just watch, this ep is so bizarre even for an OVA.. Still watching S2, i heard it's gonna be good :D |
| This shit made absolutely no sense! |
| That was pretty painful to watch other than the song, I really hope this is not an indication of how season 2 will be written as that can only mean bad things. |
| Started off cute then went wtf..... hopes dashed.... |
 |
| Maki centered episode, still not enough. I love to see more. |
 |
| Little Maki is too cute. <3 |
