Margarete Wien doing a handstand isn't real, she can't hurt you. Margarete Wien doing a handstand:

Now I need a Yuigao merch.

The yuri levels between Mei and Shiki were already high. And this episode took raised even more by a lot.

I'm liking the songs of this season more.

Newella! sounds a pretty good idol unit name, hehe.

Margarete is becoming more and more likable character.

Mei x Shiki. <3 They are really cute together. :3

Shiki's first time as the center was a big success. Well done, girl!

Funny post-credit scene. Yet another Seven Mysteries trope, lol. That trope is literally everywhere.

“If you don’t want everyone’s attention on you, then I’ll take that attention for you. I want to show everyone just how charming you are” AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH THEY’RE SO GAY. Bubble rise was a bop, but you can’t top lesbian love.

Kanon’s group set the bar high last week just for Liella to end them this week 😭 Margarethe seen that performance and knew it was straight back to the drawing board because omg if Shiki can do that on her first ever performance as center, now that she’s got confidence and found her “colors” imagine what she’s gonna be like in a couple weeks. Picking her was such a good decision by Chisato as well because we grow when we go outside of our comfort zones and Shiki NEEDED to be pushed like that.

My one issue with this episode is Kanon group not qualifying for the Yoyogi event like how!!!? Surely bubble rise was good enough for that? Next episode should be really good when we finally get more of Natsumi and Tomari backstory. Can’t wait.

I didn't expect Kanon and her new group to fail at the Yoyogi festival even though I think the song "bubble rise" is very elegant and charming, even much better than Liella's song with Shiki as the center. Now I really hope Kanon and her new group Tomari and Margarete can beat Liella soon. The three of them are clearly much better than the current Liella and I hope Margarette's hard work to beat Liella can be realized.

It is clear in this episode that Chisato has lost a little confidence even though she somehow managed to make the right decision. Likewise, Liella, who since Kanon left, seemed to have lost her way but after Shiki's first appearance as the center at least they were able to find a "new form" of Liella. Mei also played a big role in helping Shiki find her confidence and not be afraid to stand out as the center.

In the next episode, it seems that Tomari and Natsumi will be the center of the story. I don't know what happened between the Onitsuki Sister's but from there Tomari might change and seriously train with Kanon and Margarete. I'm actually quite disappointed because I couldn't see the competition between Kanon's new group vs Liella because they failed to qualify even though it doesn't make sense because as I discussed earlier, I think Kanon and her new group's performance with the song "Bubble Rise" is much better than Liella. Hopefully Kanon can help Margarete beat Liella

by the way, does anyone know the name of Kanon's current group?

This is why the original and Sunshine got out after only 2 seasons… because Superstar Season 3 is just forcing drama, and not even good drama. In fact, only Nijigasaki could’ve made a third season work.
This episode definitively proves that Liella doesn’t work without Kanon, they nearly imploded just trying to pick someone as the center and they lack decisive leadership. Besides, we know from the OP and ED that both groups are just going to unite as the 11 member Liella so why are we wasting time on this in between shoe leather nonsense, especially when Margarete is in need of a good smack and it’s going to be hard for Kanon to regain the trust of the audience.

Special Color ain't my genre, but I'll take it since more Kuma singing.

Gag segues are becoming more predictable at this point, but Newella! is just so peak.

There is no heterosexual explanation for ShikiMei interaction.
The wildest couple in Liella! is more appealing. Wkwkwk....

This episode really had the vibes of a college football bowl/exhibition game. The season already felt that way with Kanon off the "team", but Chisato basically decided they were going to get some real game experience for an underclassman. It's something coaches do to prepare their teams for when the upperclassmen graduate. This idea only works if Liella persists after the third-years graduate, and I.....don't believe that is the case. Still enjoyed the episode immensely, though. How could I not with all the focus Shiki x Mei got?

The more Mei x Shiki moments the better, their yuri level is off the charts.

Really liked the focus on Shiki but I'm not sure if I liked the idea of forcing the Center role on her. The group needs a new leader and Chisato is failing at fulfilling that role.

Shiki x Mei moments were peak tho. Just as peak as Liella evolving into Newella (New Era).

This may have been the gayest episode of Love Live that I’ve seen lol, I’m not usually the type to ship two characters of the same gender together just because they’re close, but with Shiki and Mei, good lord… there were so many moments near the end of this one where I was like just make out already lol, and the dance choreography between the two of them in the performance too, like there’s no way these two aren’t getting a room after this right lol. And the performance itself was another banger, the Kanon/Margarete/Tomari trio were hell of an opening act last week but it’s safe to say Liella can still slay with or without Kanon, I think Chisato may have been cooking with that Shiki center and Mei songwriting pick because wowzers.

And I really did like the message of this episode, there’s all kinds of colors out there, everyone has their own color, and Shiki learned that even she can stand out when surrounded by other beautiful colors, I may be wording that wrong but I love it lol, I’m glad Shiki managed to have the courage to be the center, I mean with a (girl)friend like Mei I would find it very hard to not feel like taking on the world lol. Mei may be my favorite of the 2nd years, but I can’t deny how great Shiki is and how much the two compliment each other, I hope this isn’t the end of these two getting focus this season.

Loved the insert song. Costuming? I guess they are okay.
Which one do you want? An Addiction or A Good Life?
A) Addiction - a progressive narrowing of the things that bring you pleasure.
B) A Good Life - a progressive expansion of the things that bring you pleasure and includes pleasure through motivation and hard work.

I adore Chisato, but what a fucking shit ass decision, damn, Shiki is the worst girl, a contender for the title of worst LL girl ever, she fucking sucks, I hate her so much, she made the 2nd season feel like shit many times, the fact they decided to put this bitch as the center is disgustingly stupid.

I was liking this season but sadly I had to skip almost the entire episode because of that shit ass blue haired lesbian bitch, in all honestly fuck Liella, the new trio is better.
Sorry if my english is bad (っ˘▽˘)っ~~~

Shiki went hard in this episode... pulling off escape plans from bed and imitating Honoka in grabbing the sun with her hand plus collapsing on stage. Oops. Jokes aside, it was nice to see her terms with Mei turning the tables. Those "Newella" lyrics meant something for me in this moment, too bad real life is something different.

Some Liella drama but Shiki ended up doing the center role during their representation, I don't care much about the girl but it was still nice to see after all the struggles she had during the episode
