In contrary with some people, I think this is the best episode of Love Live! so far regarding character development, atmospheric build-up, and animation quality.

I agree completely. I feel that Love Live! has had really good character development over these 10 episodes - I've grown to like these characters. The way they portrayed team spirit, the development of Maki who was already one of my favourites, Nozomi linking her to Eri and the fun antics really elevated my opinion of this episode. I was completely grabbed by the end.

10/10
The statement below is true.

Surprisingly, Honoka had bigger boobs than I thought she would have lolol. I thought she'd be flat like Nico :P

This episode was pretty alright, I guess. I would've liked for Maki to have more of the spotlight in the episode (kinda like Kotori had in the previous one), but the point of the episode seems more to be team-building and relationship-building between the members of μ's. However, it wasn't too interesting to watch, for the most part. I did enjoy a lot of the Maki stuff, especially the scene with her and Nozomi at the end, but those moments took up like less than half the episode.

Acceptable to the narrative as a whole, the excuse (now overused) to show several centimeters of skin, has its own reason. The character of Nico is too funny, no it would not be the same. At last we know a little better Nozomi. Funny the final part of the episode.

This was a cliché hot springs/pillow fight/beach episode, but it was cute and helped a few characters (especially Maki) to develop and create stronger bonds with the other girls. I liked Eri's and Nozomi's "no senpai" policy.

Not sure if Umi was awake or sleepwalking during the pillow fight, but damn, she was scary! D:

Since I recently finished K-ON it came to mind just how many similarities this has. Nothing by that, I just came to me. The pillow fight was the highlight, Umi is fierce when her sleep get´s disturbed!

I love this episode ♥ So many funny and adorable moments! Too many to list in this lovely fanservicey beach-onsen-sleepover episode~ Sasuga Muse for looking great in swimsuits, towels and pajamas!

Nico surprised me by being way shorter than Maki than I expected. She's also great at cooking wow. Honoka's nocturnal obsession with tea and Hanayo's unrequited love for rice was amusing as well.

That pillow fight was a great way to break the ice between the members as it was an entertaining "action" scene for this slice of life. Umi was really terrifying while being sleep-deprived, knocking out even Eli lmao *eye twitching* Harasho...

Nozomi openly admitted that she was the one that brought the group together and her secret intentions to make everyone enjoy each other's bonds to Maki. It was a very touching moment to see them all hold hands while watching the sunrise as one :')

Waking up Umi from her sleep is a bad idea.

An entire episode where all the characters do is slack off, and it manages to be entertaining.
This anime would probably be terrible if it was a harem.

That was one fierce pillow fight. Umi was scary.

This episode was a ton of fun :D

From the water guns, Nico being a surprisingly good cook, Honoka wanting tea, Honoka with the random crunching/eating noises while everyone is trying to sleep, the pillow fight, horror-movie Umi, and then everyone waking up to see the sunrise 😊

There were a lot of “wasted” moments in this episode as well 😂

The episode I was anticipating. Always tons of fun and this one was no exception. Pillow fight and sunrise were awesome.

One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron

The episode where I feel ashamed of myself. Please dad, don't look down upon me.

Rin is so adorable-nya (?)!!!. Also, lots of Maki-being-tsundere moments.

Lmao, loved how the pillow was in slowmo but then Kotori was like "No you" and it hit Honoka.

Obviously we need the mandatory onsen / swimsuit episode. Gladly the fanservice was in a minimum level this time.

It was a funny, entertaining and beautifully emotional episode. That pillow fight and the last segment were the highlight moments.

definitely one of my favourite episodes so far, honestly I adore training camp type episodes/arcs they're so fun, I'm glad we got a nozomi and maki centered episode too

honestly only complaint about this anime so far is that the pacing is a bit too fast for my liking but it isn't awful

A yes the beach episode. The summer camp training turn out to be one of the most wonderful experiences u's will ever have. I love seeing them enjoy this trip. The senpai-kouhai relationship is now gone and their bond is growing. Maki's true feelings is now shown to the whole members. I loved the pillow fight and it was the best moment in this ep!! Such a great fanservice and time to relax while sipping my coffee.

Haha, yep, 5/5 holds up. I forgot the pillow fight episode was so early on, but then, well, tenth episode in isn't really too early, this show simply goes by fast! Very nice, fun episode. Nico's hilarious, haha. Maki's casual wear is so cool.

This episode has the first powerful moment of the show when Nozomi, who has previously played just played the role of the creepy sage who says wise things and sexually assualts people, has a conversation with Maki, the downer character who goes along with things, but is always pessimistic and stuff. Nozomi says that Maki wants to be a part of things, but can't let herself be, and it reminds her of someone she knows. At first I thought this was referring to a past version of Nozomi, but we come to realize that she's referring to herself in the present. In her role as the wise sage, she is somewhat removed from the group, and her sexual assaulting doesn't help. It's a sad touching moment, a rarity in this show

edit: I'm dumb, actually she's referring to Eli. My version of the episode is better though, they should have used my version
