Not that bad, but I preferred LL first season last episode.

Start:Dash sung by all u's member was like a recap of the whole anime, because it made us remember how it evolved from 3rd episode to the last episode, it was not just like "we talk about everything that just happened just in case you forgot everything"

The 0 which transforms into a 1 at the end is touching, but the "No Name" which goes to "New Entry" in u's LL Ranking is a lot more emotional IMO.

I personally think that a last episode of a season which introduces a second season must be a conclusion of something (we didn't watch this season for nothing) and also the beginning of something better (so we know that people thought about making a second season before finishing the first one, and so it's doesn't seem like an improvisation).

And so, I would have preferred the story of the twelfth episode as a last episode, something like "we talked about u's during the whole anime, but it doesn't work, so now we stop trying to be a copy of u's and we make Aqours shinier than ever" and here comes season 2.

Most of you adored this season and this end, and I really want to think like you, but except episodes between 6 and 12 which completely great and clearly better than some LL first season episodes, this show disappointed me.

It's not bad, just not as good as I wanted for a spin-off, ad so do you think that watching LL Sunshine before LL first season can be a good idea ? (if we recommend to a person which doesn't know anything about the show)

u's appear like goddesses so I think it would be funny, even if it spoils many things (but remember that first opening is probably the greatest spoil of the show !)

It was nice episode in terms of execution and I like how they started talking instead of singing at first (even though it almost felt only as summary of this season and they certainly cheated the audience into their favor with retelling their "harsh" history which could feel as unfair advantage compared to other groups who only had to rely on singing... and I'm not even sure if they would have been given so much time for their presentation either as this could have been against the rules). I also didn't like how they changed their clothes on the stage pretty instantly and can't really say I actually liked the ending song much. But... it wasn't too bad episode afterall. One such episode doesn't make whole series though.

But... (and what's actually worse than everything else) this series lacked its identity really hard, and even after its 13 episodes it didn't get me to actually like and root for those characters. And for me this is actually more important than great visuals and some not-too-bad songs.

And the actual plot of this series wasn't good either.. and I guess I don't need to write all the flaws people were talking about in previous threads (I may go as far as to say that the game can actually surpass it with its side-stories.. well, it won't be too difficult anyway.. but that's nothing to do with this anime now).

In the end, it was just sequel for a sequel and Sunrise tried to shamfully milk one of their sucessful series for instacash even though they had long history of experiences knowing that such thing doesn't pay off in the long run as they are destroying further potential of the series.

Therefore I have to give this an average score. Even though there were some really nice episodes on the road (actually, just ep8 and ep9) most of the rest was just attempts to walk in the same steps µ's paved before and not very good ones either.

5/10 Pretty forgettable series that was nice while lasted but which had nothing close to the feels and immediacy of the original series.
It's precisely as in their Love Live competition - Aquors are just one group in thousands, one drop in the sea. But the µ's is only one.

Also @Hrist16 stop trying to start arguments with people who didn't like this show. All you're going to do is make an ass of yourself.

The Reason you couldnt like this Anime is because you are cant move on from the LL Original thats why you would say those things and Compare it by being Biased of the Original

This series is the perfect example of why self-worthiness wanking never is a good idea

Self-worthiness wanking can be compared to goodness wanking, something which a lot of regressive leftists here in Sweden love to do: it might feel great at first to advocate cultural relativism and silence anybody who doesn't think abolishing national borders is a good idea by accusing them of being a Racist-nazi-sexist, but eventually, if you don't watch out, you're going to end up with 50+ no go zones, honor oppression in the suburbs, sex segregated bath houses and criminals throwing rocks at police and medic personnel

Likewise, the creators of Love Live are a bunch of self-worthiness wankers who're still high on endorphins because of the first series' success and thus at first, when their boss or whatever told them to come up with a brand new LL! anime, they thought "Wow copy + pasting the story line and the characters and throwing in a bunch of muse references is an amazin idea cuz we dat good" was a great idea. However, it seems like they realized their mistake around episode 7-8 since that's more or less when they tried deviating a little from the original story line, but sadly, it was too late

Hanamaru was the only character worth remembering, everybody else was either annoying or/and used goods (especially Mari)

The songs were also shit except for Saint Snow's which was gr8 m8 I r8 8

Not that this is going to stop the series from selling platina, but then again, the same can be said about any Adam Sandler movie as the protagonist that isn't Punch Drunk Love

4/10
