-Alisa is way2cute
-Instrumental version of the ED while the members of μ's thought about the future was pretty nice
-Yukiho read the situation pretty well when Alisa did the "μ's music start" cheer for Honoka
-The supporting cast is great as always, and the scene where Alisa tells Honoka that she no longer wishes to join μ's was simple yet effective.
-
This pretty much summarizes the whole series in one screenshot.
-Nico finally says the thing that she's tried not to say ever since she got recruited, but the beach scene had too much narration.
-The scene when they all arrive at the train station was way more powerful than the scene at the beach because of how simply Honoka explained why she lied to them about being late for the train. Honoka's explanation revealed that she did it out of concern for μ's, and it was done in the kind of goofball way that Honoka was notorious for. The line delivery was perfect, I thought, and it demonstrated pretty well why she was their leader.

-The scene at the train platform after they took the picture started out pretty well, and Hanayo bursting into tears without needlessly describing it was actually pretty reasonable. But then everyone else started questioning why they were crying out loud and narrating too much in general and it got really awkward.
-After like a bunch of episodes, all the members of μ's are finally singing the ED again. The last time it happened this season was in episode 3, which is actually pretty far back.

Standout moments of the episode were the scene when Alisa decided not to join μ's and the scene at the train station before they took the picture, which were both really good scenes. The last third or so of the episode had a lot of awkward scenes that overstayed their welcome.

no I'm not crying... i'm not crying :') i'm crying TT_TT

I'll really miss μ's so much. That second half is powerful. And the Last Live is next.... I kennat :/
Also, I forgot who said it, Honoka, probably, but I agree on the line "Why does graduation have to exist" on a spiritual level. These types of eps are my weakest points huhu i cri alwayz

Them feeling the need to scream the decision out together was kind of awkward and uncomfortable. Cringeworthy, even...

That being said...the moments after, including the crying towards the end and the picture...

They are made the commitment to make me melt into tears that left me little hope of continuing the story to the end without interruption. Narrative is too melancholic and forced, but this touching moment so we wanted was a must, I am satisfied by what I saw. Drawings and animations, discrete quality. Is about to end, some will miss those girls. T_T

I don't get it, they could have continued with Muse with all 9 members in their free time activity? Of course, if the three would decide to go to other places after graduation, that might be a reason, but still, they are in Tokyo and have good enough chances there, too.

With the 3rd years no students at the school, they couldn't be officially part of the same school idol group. Even if they found the time and performed on the side together, it wouldn't really be the same anymore.

No no, I mean they could continue it without having ties to the school. Like, a idol group with no bounds to the school, just as a project in free time activity.

μ's is μ's. It wouldn't be the same without the 3rd year girls, indeed.
So many tears in the end, though.

Right, but at the very least they couldn't participate in the Love Live competition anymore. I'd love to see them make it work in their free-time, but maybe the remaining members will be too busy practicing with the new students at that point? It would be great to see them get back together for a while though!

If they keep this up, I'll be depressed for days.

I can understand their decision though. If 3 of SNSD's members retire they'll most likely disband the group too.

I was checking the bds and thought about watching a bit of the first eps, ended up with this episode draining my tears AGAIN (4 times in total). Now I fight the urge to play the Love Live final concert bds, because the rain was too much today.

The first half was them trying to come into terms with the 3rd-years' impending departure from the group and Honoka, being the considerate person she is had convinced everyone to go to each of their favorite places together and it was so much fun.

I had thought that that beach scene would've been part of a later episode because some of my friends spoiled me about it so when I saw the shore, i wasn't prepared at all. The other girls getting together and forcing themselves not to as they declare the imminent end of u's itself because it will never be the same without Eli, Nozomi, and Nico was devastatingly bittersweet. If Maki had the guts to say a pun at a time like that she'd say u's is us and us alone and it won't be the same without u's.

The disbanding announcement was already heavy enough, with the soon to be uncontrollable mood being broken by Honoka but that train station scene was where it hit both me and them the hardest. It only took one of them to lose control of their emotions and everyone including me was bawling their eyes out the next minute. It was heartbreaking to see them like this and feels like these were the reasons why it took me more than 5 months to watch this one alone. I hope they win Love Live!

Man, I don't want this series to end 😭. I ended up loving it so much that I'll feel empty inside... Good of Yoshiko for interrupting Eli's sis.

The scene at the beach was good but the announcement was kinda cringy imo. At the station was good enough... I want their last pictures framed and hanging on my wall 😢😢

Edit 4/17/2020: I rewatched the whole episode and everything, from the beach scene until the end, made me cry like an idiot...

Yep, its coming through. The end, tho, thanks for the spoilers, Internet. I just knew how their path of future led on. But seeing the scenes of them, with my own eyes was just, too irritating. How could they ended up with that idea? What a brave girls, so shocking. Still its really understandable. Maybe its sounds naive, its sounds too extreme. But, hey, thats their decision. Why need to bother? It just need some respect, support their decision in the next period, and lets see their success future the later on. Its not an easy path. But here they wanted to ended up making a μ's as their greatest memories they had on their live. No great deal afterwards. Even Nico aggree that made the whole idea as solid as crystall.

Holy shit! I am not crying! The storyline just beautiful as i imagined. Not so bad decision coming through this serialization even if i am so fuckin late. No problem. I still enjoyed my late weebs day. Lmao. The MVP for the emotionally sceneries that absolutely catch my mind up was Honoka's sister. She succeeded to convince Arisa's about the continuations of μ's. So, this is where the story of the series wanted to milking a third season concept, eh? Solid storyline i had there, for sure.

Ah, two mores left. This episode made me looks so cringe till death. But its not over yet. They still had one last final stage in the Love Live! It just served as their ending show. The good-bye performance for a graduated members they had, together with the announcement of a disbandment. Sick. My heart just torn apart. Lets continued the hard feeling again then!

Thats crazy. Im watching this at school during free period, and ended tearing up. 5/5 episode. Definitely flashbacked me that k-on episode, in which i cried, and a lot if i remember correctly.

This is slowly going from 9 to 10 for me, and such an insane improvement compared to season 1, in which i kinda struggled to give a strong 8 but this one is definitely a 9 or a 10 depending on the final 2 episodes.

If i still had tears left to cry, this is yet another episode of this series that should KILL me at every rewatch.

Alisa acting like a future member was both the sweetest and saddest thing ever.
Also... She and Yukiho helped making the band pick the right decision, even if it hurts.

Yujo No Change instrumental during the "having fun" montage was amazing. Elichika being great at bowling and air hockey isn't surprising, poor Kotori being cut out of the swans river race.

"After Love Live, μ's will disband"

"i don't want μ's without you, Nico" from the most tsundere member.

Yeah. Laugh all you want after the photos, that other thing is impossible to avoid at this point. If Nico herself couldn't avoid "ugly" crying, nobody else could. And to seal the perfect ending, best girl Eli holds the feather at the end of Donna Tokimo Zutto.

Love, love, love these characters so hard.
