| The result-waiting scenes seem very familiar. Congratulations on passing the district qualification round. Oh! no, that stage was the one that Kanon was failed before when she was young and it came back to haunt her. She needs to solo this time, that's will be a hard time for her to overcome her stage fright. Gladfully, finally, she can overcome her fright in the end. Kanon did a great job on soloing Watashi no Symphony. That's was an outstanding performance from Sayurin. Now, everyone is ready for Love Live. btw..., She could ask for advice about soloing from a certain idol club of that huge school in Odaiba. π€£π€£π€£ Ren, what had you done on the laptop??? LOL..... Just discovered your new interest? She can talk about yuri kinds of stuff with Riko. LMAO |

| It's good to see Kanon's stage fright being brought up again, that it isn't suddenly gone after the first couple episodes. Proud of Kanon, finally facing her past and moving on. Also nice to hear Watashi no Symphony from 1st single. Welp, next episode is the last one.π |
 |
| I'm totally in love with Kanon, she is my favourite by far She is 10/10 , lovely, cute and stronger! |
| I know it is very wrong, but at least twice I laughed remembering Kanon passing out on the 1st episode flashback. Ren is too pure for this world. Expected Kanon focused episode. Next episode, probably Liella losing, if the format of previous LL is followed. Then season 2 announcement. After all we barely seen SunnyPa. |
 |
| I was shedding tears in my office when I saw that Kanon singing scene, dunno if I should be embarrassed or happy about it. great episode, can't wait for the final episode next week |

 English is my second language |
| We finally get to see Kanon's childhood trauma, I'm glad she overcame her fear of being alone thanks to Chisato's plan. The song resounded in my heart especially because of Kanon's solo here is so amazing. I forgot the song's name but it has "Symphony" in it. Great episode, I'll be looking forwars for more next week! P.S. Ren-ren is so cute earlier when she assumed the headmistress learned of her little research the other day. So cute! XD |
| It's not that I dislike this genre but... to add unnecessary fan services to/in/for heroines and ultimately destroys her character and personality; their purity tarnished because of it, is the only thing I hope to not happen to them. For that sole purity is my fan service. |
| lol the girls forced character development for Kannon don't mind it reason why i love the smaller cast more room for growth she really is the top MC for love live for me |
 |
| This is the best episode so far after episode 3. I like so much Kanon development. Also Watashi no Symphony singing by Kanon so good. Sayurin voice is great, can't wait to see her future career in solo music artist. |
 |
| Chisato practically threw her childhood friend to the wolves at the risk of potentially deepening her trauma. Good thing this is Love Live tho. But still, wouldn't it have been better to just have a proper talk about the matter instead? And in other news, it seems Ren is on her way to become Riko's apprentice. She has discovered the appeal of yuri relationships and from the looks of it, she quite liked what she saw. |
| Congratz to Liela on passing. Their reactions gets me everytime. Kanon faced her past and she overcame it. Her solo song was beautiful. The final moment was quite touching. |
 |
| I watched the episode again and im crying like a baby with Kanon Kanon touched my heart so hard <3 |
| Liella is qualified and Kanon managed to sing in front of everyone since she was alone, highlight of the episode was Ren looking at porn on the laptop though. |
 |
| Another strong episode continuing Kanon's character development as she finally develops the confidence to be able to sing alone and not just with the direct support of her friends. Another great moment for her and another showcase of her fantastic singing voice. Also, looks like Ren has discovered the world of yuri, an unexpected but amusing twist. |
| Already the second to last episode? Even after the Olympics weeks? Now i ask myself for the season finale if Kanon could be a little upset to the rest of Liella after her (good) solo performance in her former elementary school, because their blatant lies to help her overcome stage fright by singing all alone have been clearly discovered after they run to her. At the beginning i appreciated that out of eight groups they weren't announced as the very last one to qualify, it was a relief to have this overused trope avoided after the SunnyPa message is delivered. Also, i forgot to comment the announcer's return in the previous episode and more wild antics by her are welcome. |
(save your time and don't try to comfort when i rant on casual discussion or forum games, feel free to ignore me, i won't take it personally) |
| Damn, this episode almost brought to tears. Kanon finally did it, such a beautiful pay-off moment. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| Great episode. Kanon-chan finally overcoming her own anxiety. Powerful performance with a lovely song. |
 |
| Nice episode. I guess we needed a Kanon episode and we got one. Curious to see how they will end this season. |
| Nice to see Kanon can sing on her own. I guess the preliminaries will start next season |
 |
| This was a good one, kinda cool that Kanon’s singing situation comes full circle with performing at her elementary school before the big Love Live concert, her song was really nice too. But, I’m kinda mad at Chisato for how she decides to help her get over her anxiety, Keke even says “this is mean”, even though it ended up working, I’m not a fan of the way Chisato handled that. It also kinda robbed the elementary kids from seeing a full on idol performance lol. Even with that beef tho, it was a nice episode, and it’s been a really fun ride watching this series, figured I’d mention since it finally ends next week, the final show of the summer 2021 anime season to end for me, and the end of my 2nd Love Live series. It’s been a really good one. Also that Ren laptop scene, made me love her even more lol |
| That solo performance was way too good Really nice and emotional episode, again. |
| Afff~ I feel for that little Kanon's scene. I love watchin how our girl Kanon grows, she can finally sing alone now. And of course, our bun bun Chisato looking over her girl friend, I really ship them. Dont forget how precious Ren is, her pureness was taken away in just one click. LOL Love this episode. |
it’s never too late for life ... to go horribly wrong. . . afff~  |
| REN LOOK AT THE PORN SITE! ... no, that's not it. it just a big AD banner with a trap so that laptop is infected with a virus. That's the reason why when checking who got the final, it crashes or slows a bit. lol Chisato without realizing it, make A*** Bead with takoyaki. That's Hot. lol Kanon before the concert started, calling Chisato. It feels like She wants to commit suicide. End with comforting her past self. This reminds me of Haruka in im@s before the last episode. And the performance, to be honest ... I got goosebumps from start to finish. It's too powerful after that comforting scene, make my eyes wet a little bit. maybe just like Chisato. Personal opinion : If in live concert, they add this song (piano ver. ?) near the end of a concert and the first song in episode 1 (the song when she plays the acoustic guitar and sings when going to school. sorry, don't know the song name) as opening, That would be amazing. Sayuri must perform with a guitar to make a huge impact. |
| Yay! |
| best episode so far !! |
| Kanon's singing problem finally resolved. And that's a nice song that she sang on stage. Ren discovering pron is hilarious. |
| Kanon's anxiety is touching, as is his song. |
| Dude, thought about how they manage to create another surprising announcement toward their passing through another phase of Love Live! They did it quite well enough on this one too with that freezing laptop reason. Then the story behind that? Lmao, girl, what are you looking at? Yeah, about time they finishing up Kanon anxiety and stage fright problem. I thought they really clearing it out about that with an abrupt end from the duo performance with Keke. But what i get here, bam, perfect solo sing from her again, with such a smooth direction over that nice and sweet plot. This is unmistakenly by far become my favourite episode. |
 Hide and seek is the best offline games on this fatamorgana-called-world-thing. Please comment nicely. I am newbie here. I'm level  on mal-badges. View my badges  |
| glad it worked out in the end but it actually seems kinda toxic for kanon's entire friend group to put all this pressure on her and not sing with her at the performance |
 |
| Kinda crazy how Kanon wasn't angry to find out that the rest of Liella lied about having other plans and actually had showed up to the concert. |
| Salmon is delicious. |
| I am rewatching this for the second time now and this episode and the last one always make me emotional, this anime is really something special. |
 |
| Good episode for Kanon. It helped develop and tested Kanon that she can really stand and perform on stage alone. She has a really good voice. The one with Rin is really funny. She's so pure. |

| @Exaccus Because she knew they were lying, but played along because she understood why Chisato did so. Remember, this is the girl that realized Chisato was troubled simply from the tone of her voice during a phone call. She even expressed gratitude towards her for it in her phone call because it made her realize that she was trying to hide her performance anxiety rather than actually face it. She doesn't explicitly say this, but I thought it was obvious as soon as she said "Arigato!" because it's a strange thing to say to Chisato otherwise. I felt the ambiguity made the scene hit that much harder, because not only did it show how smart, perceptive, and emotionally mature Kanon was, but by extension, it's a sign of how much the writers trusted us, the audience, to figure that out ourselves. The flashback scene and Kanon walking on stage having minimal dialogue further reinforced this. She doesn't need to finish "I see. I was scared, even back then. But even so...," because we can fill in the blanks. I didn't see anyone talk about the phone call scene before I watched it, even after seeing others' commentary regarding the episode beforehand, so I was shocked. I was expecting the usual "I'm scared, but I have my friends here in spirit" ending, but to hear her calmly admit to her own faults really hit me in the heart. It made me realize, she wasn't calling Chisato because she was weak, but because even a strong-willed person still needs emotional support from others, and she was mature and humble enough to accept Chisato's phone call offer. Same with why she went to Aria for support. It's this beautifully nuanced message that isn't just "I need to be a strong independent woman who doesn't need anyone else!" I actually was motivated to go to therapy because of this scene, understanding it's not a mark of shame to do so. That's how much this episode moved me. Everything from the phone call onwards, the reveal of the missing piece of Kanon's memories showing she was always a kind and courageous person from the very beginning, the Watashi no Symphony piano version leaning on the fourth wall as she sang her story to the elementary school children in the audience, it's the absolute pinnacle of Love Live writing and the perfect climax to the past 11 episodes. |
   Time...it will not wait...no matter...how hard you hold on...it escapes you... |
