ohhh the sources of the calamity were that stump and Yohane's magic all along. But, will this be the end of the calamity?? I don't think so.
Farewell, talking Lailaps

Another banger song from Aikyan.

That's so sad. Now they can't talk to each other anymore. :<

Very emotional episode. All those flashbacks were so touching.

And only one more to go. Time goes way too fast.

I was so happy to see that Lailaps is okay but now sad as it now looks like She and Yohane can't talk to each other anymore. Only one episode left now and am going to miss this show when it's over

Tears in my eyes 😭 the farewell, the flashbacks, the performance, it was all perfect.

Only one episode left idk how ima cope when I don’t have any more Yohane Sundays 😩

So we finally know why Lailaps can speak and only Yohane can hear it. It was her magic all along that brought that ability to Lailaps and is causing the calamity. :/ all the flashbacks to kid Yohane and Lailaps playing were so cute leading up to a banger new song which is Love Live tradition for episode 12s.

I love how the performance was basically a mirror reflection of far far away as well. That bark after it was done signalling that Lailaps ability to speak was gone really hit hard. At least they’ll still be together, but having someone you can confide in all the time suddenly leave is heartbreaking no matter what. Fortunately, Yohane isn’t alone like she was as a kid anymore. She has friends and others she can go to for help.

Time to stop the calamity.

A heavy episode as expected, and they made damn sure it was with how much flashbacks there were, not just of when Yohane was a kid but also flashbacks of moments within the show, so there was plenty of Lailaps and Yohane to go around lol. I especially loved the flashbacks to when Yohane was a kid tho, so many cute moments and they definitely made the ending of this episode hit harder.

And wowzers, that was hell of a performance from Yohane on the tree stump once again, she absolutely killed it and it was well worth the wait since it’s been a bit since we last got a song. And as awesome as that was, we were met with Lailaps not being able to talk anymore, that first bark really hurt even tho I saw it coming, it’s upsetting but it feels satisfying as well after all the buildup of this Lailaps plot, and with one episode to go I’m excited to see how this ends, and you know I’m getting the game based on the show when that drops lol.

I predicted what would happen and the payoff of being correct was so satisfying.

Well, we finally got to learn everything we wanted to know about Yohane and Lailaps, and it ended up being an extremely cute episode.
The ending was a little bit sad, even if expected, and that song was amazing!

Hopefully the last episode will resolve/explain the last hanging plotline (the lightning/evil thingy) one way or another, and give us a final song with all the girls together.

Those flashbacks of Mini Yohane and Mini Lailaps were so sweet, they were really trying their best so I wouldn't be ready for the impending sadness, I'm glad Lailaps didn't completely disappear but that last bark and Yohane's reaction hit really hard.

OMG SHE SAID THE THING I CAN'T BELIEVE IT, LOSING MY MIND RN!!!!!!


I don't know how to feel about this episode, I liked it, but it made me dislike Lailaps for a bit, we didn't knew she was against Yohane leaving to Tokai the 1st time too, like, she started talking shit to her instead of being supportive, it felt really out of character for our big doggie 😕

btw I swear at the very end of the episode, after Lailaps bark, I thought this was going to start playing because of the sfx:

So... Lailaps "just" stopped talking. Oh, well, i was very afraid of worse. When years before she suddenly began speaking and Yohane didn't notice until 5 or 10 seconds after, it was pretty funny. And that exchange of words between "don't live your dreams too much, you can fail and suffer hard, think about a real job before" was hard to watch for personal reasons, remembering when i've been myself the killjoy to someone else that had the last laugh and was still nice enough to forgive.

Wow, that was unexpected-

I was honestly expecting Lailaps to outright die by the end, but this outcome of being alive but not able to speak (aside from barking) is definitely interesting.

I’ll have to see how things play out in the finale, but I hope we don’t end up with a depressed Yohane following this tragic event.

Man... who would have thought the most melodramatic character in all Love Live would be a freaking dog.
Highlight of the whole show? Lailaps not being able to talk anymore 🙏 Damn dog getting on my nerves since Episode 1.

Kinda suspected they were going the Jiji from “Kiki’s Delivery Service” route, and that made me just as sad 😭

Wow, this episode was really an emotional roller coaster. Yohane and Lailaps have such a strong bond between them.
