| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Sun, fun, smiles, and swimsuits! Yeah right, that's just the girls' imaginations lul Pretty funny episode. I still love how Yohane makes her poses and there's also more of a competitive vibe. Really love the team spirit of everyone this episode. I definitely enjoyed the performance this episode too. |

| The first years making fun of Yohane lol. The discussion about how to get to the live's location was quite fun, they also managed to slip in a fan service skit. Very nice costumes for today's performance, the song wasn't bad either. Finally we are getting into Love Live! Nice daydreaming skills right there Chika ;D "Tsukamaetene, he-heh"...   |

| Cool ep with a great song, I love it. I'm also happy that they didn't use first op song at the end as they did in LL S2. I think they plan to make a cover of one muse's song for the encore after Aqours won the Love Live. A cover of "Start Dash" would be so great imo ! It would certainly be "Bokura wa ima no naka de" or "Kimi to no life" if they really do this, but it would be a bit disappointing I think |
 |
| Glorious episode, that was so so good. <3 I don't know why but I find each episode more funny than the last. They're really nailing the comedy. Chika's rooftop stunts are quite dangerous. I love how You and Riko had to feed the information to Chika about how the two live shows coincided. xD That discussion on how to get too both the places was so much fun, Pilot Chika. XD FINALLY, THE YOUSORO I WAS WAITING FOR, Not one but two. <3 Riko on the sky glider was absolutely hilarious. xD Cika-You hagu!! If only Riko joined in, that would've been pure bliss. <3 The first years making fun of Yoshiko was pure gold, we need more scenes like that. xD That Rock Paper Scissors game was intense as hell, That Hanamaru cheat to make Yoshiko win made me laugh so much. That skit before the lottery though. xD Not one but two performances this episode, awesome! Really enjoyed them both, I loved the outfits for 'My Tonight'. Dia's in particular looked stunning. I really love how they use Dia's hyper mode to full effect in the comedy and her elegance in other places. The sisterly love is so strong, it's blinding. <3 Kanan actually got an alternate hairstyle? Holy shit! This is the biggest news in the entire episode. XD Mikan roller coaster needs to be a thing in amusement parks. :3 I was kinda surprised to see Kimi no Kokoro wa Kagayaiteru Kai as the second song since they usually do new ones but it was great too. Loved the bubble visual effects and the whole rainbow thing. The overflowing optimism of this episode is what I always need. <3 The final shot with the bubbles and the sun rays was beautiful. DIA episode next? More hype! |

| Holy shit they got some fucking godlike stamina. New song is so good. |
| This by far is the best episode out for the 2nd half so far because the first 2 episodes admittedly I was a bit bored.. but this episode actually gave me feels and made me feel like I was holding back a tear because it was so beautiful when they sang together and worked to make it back. ALL ABOARD THE FEELS TRAIN! I also enjoyed that Chika really "shined" in this episode being that she's my second favorite character in sunshine. |
 |
 This scene had me rolling in laughter, there's so much expression going on here, that you just can't help but to laugh. |
 |
| Ah loved the episode and Chika's attitude. Like despite the odds she always stayed positive and tried to find ways to make it to both events. Funny how it came to a Mikan field that helped them make it on time. I liked Chika's reaction when they were riding that card, so cute :) Leave it to the Fallen Angel to draw the lottery lol That song and dresses were divine, so far my favorite outfit from Aquors, it really matched the song imo. Chika almost falling off the roof when she was talking to Riko xD "nani nani" |
 |
| This episode was really fun to watch! Loved the scene where Yoshiko was chosen to do the lottery by playing rock, paper, scissors with Dia (with a bit of help from Hanamaru lmao). I like the new song, too! Minor detail, but Mari saying "whoops" was one of the best things from this episode lmao Overall, had me smiling all throughout. Also, I'm seeing more and more parallels between this season and the original LL, especially with the next episode being titled "Don't Call Me Dia-san". Reminds me of how Eli didn't want her fellow members to call her "Eli-senpai". |
| 4/5 I liked how they put Kimi no Kokoro inside the anime just like how they put Borarara for the original project. But, some things bugging me like if the car got there in time, why don't they just ride the car instead..? Lol XD And yeah, one of the reason I give this episode a 4 is because the love live! Qualification.. I mean, you got the time to compliment each other's clothes when it's your turn to perform? It's too weird... But the insert nice is pretty nice, Dia is really beautiful <3 the song itself reminds me of Katanagatari.. XD |

Episode was really fun to watch, loads of cute and funny moment that made me smile ^^, just what you'd expect from LL. What made it great for me was the insert song. Boy did it touch the right notes.  |

| Love Live, you did it again. The new song and performance are amazing. I love it when I instantly click to a new song. The choreography and cinematography are real fun, and Ruby DID A FANTASTIC JOB with the outfits. I LOOOVE them. Dia looked especially pretty in hers. Wow! The surprise here was at the end with a re-purposed Kimi No Kokoro Wa Kagayaiteru Kai? performance. The best difference between the TV version and the full version was that at the very end of the performance where you see the girls come in on the screen one by one. In the TV version, they reversed it. So it's like seeing the original scene byt rewinded. I love little changes like that. |
| This music was amazing, I love these songs with a traditional japanese vibe (like some of Hatsune Miku's songs as Senbonzakura). Time to search for "MY Mai☆TONIGHT" full version. Btw, Daya was stunning in this outfit:  |

Hi3i said: What was the name of the song for the love live quali? "MY 舞 ☆TONIGHT" ("my mai tonight" - "my dance tonight"): It's appears at episode credits: https://i.imgur.com/2jLzq2C.jpg . |

| So many cheesy moments this episode. Hihi. But it's tolerable for me. These girls' imaginations are beyond me. Haha. Cuties. I need that song they performed at the Love Live! on my phone NOW. And ugh their costumes, though. It looks so beautiful on them especially Dia. Glad they managed to make it at the Open House. So proud of these girls. :) |

| 5/5 Finally, a good episode S2 Finally, a good Aqours song MY MAI☆TONIGHT |
  |
| Absolutely loved the new song they peformed, "My Mai Tonight" and the outfits looked absolutely mesmerizing. I was so happy that they also made it to the open house, and the best part is they performed a revamped version of their original PV, "Kimi no Kokoro wa Kagayaiteru kai?" I was always wondering whether or not they were going to perform it in the anime at all. Next episode is about best girl Dia, my prayers have been answered. Sande said: So even though it was made clear they had no way of making it to both events, they made it anyway with some rollercoaster bs Your first mistake was expecting no crazy and serious antics to occur. This is Love Live, even the original had the u's girls doing crazy stuff. Plus, to be fair, what they used was basically a shortcut. I do the same thing whenever I drive around, I always take short cuts to get to my destination and to avoid traffic. :P Meira_Eve said: 4/5 I liked how they put Kimi no Kokoro inside the anime just like how they put Borarara for the original project. But, some things bugging me like if the car got there in time, why don't they just ride the car instead..? Lol XD Well to be fair, there probably wouldn't be enough space to fit them all in there, and even if they did get a second car, there's still a chance they would have been stuck in traffic and be late. Also, as they are the performers, they need to arrive there earlier than the main audience. Also, a comment I found on the reddit forum this episode, "From what someone on Discord shared, the issue is the road. The travelling distance from the school to the venue (by road vehicles) would require them to twist and turn around Shizuoka. The mikan cart is effectively the most direct path, as opposed to twisting and turning around the roads. The Takami sisters might have timed themselves to leave early, but Aqours need a quick get-away. Actually, Mari's helicopter would have solved the episode's problem." |

| im just gonna post everytime that this is one of the greatest things to ever happen to anime >/////////< |
   |
| I love it when they put Kimi no Kokoro wa Kagayaiteru Kai in the end there :). |
| Just a Tactician |
| The open house delayed to the same day as the qualifiers but it all works out at the end with the shortcut through the mandarin mountain. The song was good, real Japanese feeling and a redone 1st PV song. The gags are nice but so 4th wall forced slapstick or something, like dude yohane and mandarin in mouth 'diamond face XD |
 |
| ps: Chika has a nice ass, good thing best girl gets the booty shots xD |
|
| wow i can't believe kanan finally got her happy party mikan train this episode was all sorts of cute. and riko & you are getting more and more in sync i think the "my tonight" performance was their best so far. the outfits and song are just perfect (and You looks so great in the blue<3) |
| Woah, I did not see Kimi no Kokoro wa Kagayaiteru Kai coming. The other song was awesome too. Such a beautiful episode. |
| Enjoyable & funny episode. 2 great performances. It's not Aqours without all 9 members. Glad they were able to do the Love Live qualifiers & the Open House. LOL Yohane & her luck. Everyone looks great in their outfits. That train ride was funny. |

| why the hell is nobody mentioning Mari's air guitar thing The new song instantly became my favorite, I have a soft spot for this kind of music linking modern and traditional styles... I couldn't believe my ears when it started, I was like... it's too good, I do not deserve this, I AM NOT WORTHY |

I couldn't believe my ears when it started, I was like... it's too good, I do not deserve this, I AM NOT WORTHY Oh god Mari's so glorious, I love her! I saw that too during the song :) This episode was very good, the girls have all good chemistry and I'm happy they got to sing together. I was afraid at first because Riko didn't sing the first time for the Love Live and I was starting to think they would never sing together fort it. The mikan scene was the best imo, Kanan breaking the thing made me laugh so much! And the song in traditional outfits, omg, it was so good. The outfits, the music, the dance, everything was good. Mari and Dia in particular were very beautiful (Kanan's always beautiful of course, but I'm not found of buns). Well, Aqours is really growing on me and I'm slowly starting to like them as much as U's. But I hope they are going to have a movie too, because for U's it was really the apotheosis of the show and it made me cry so hard. |

| Man does nobody have a car? xDD |
| is there a song that serves as the base for My mai? i swear ive heard a different arrangment of at least a very similar song before |
 currently working on an independent story project view it here http://firathmagi.deviantart.com/ |
| The dance transitions were so smooth! MY Mai☆TONIGHT was an amazing centre song for Dia and Ruby.  |
 |
| |
| Damn. Dia's so beautiful on that first live. |
 |
| Love Live is my favorite show of all time, but the amount of times I facepalmed in this episode, I'd be diagnosed with brain damage. Does Japan have no Uber? Can't they rent a car? Chika's sister got back in time for the school concert, they could have just hitched a ride! I shouldn't be complaining though since since it was overall one of the funniest episodes of Love Live. Preview for Episode 4 is interesting though, I didn't realize that weighed heavily on Dia. Everyone calls each other by their own names without honorifics except Dia. Kanan and Mari call her just Dia, but the rest still use -san. |
 |
'happy party roller-coaster' modified |
| Hah. Good episode! The new song has a different feel than their other songs, still pretty good!. Judging by the preview we'll get drama w/ Dia :o |
| love this episode! the song was great and hearing Kimi ni kokoro... on the open house is very reminiscent of Muse performing Bokura no live kimi to no life back then. |
"Fortress Maximus has come himself. Okay! Then I shall get Fortress Maximus to fight me, huh huh huh!" |
| Finally a great insert song with great costumes and so on :D Already made a piano cover since she was kinda stimulating |

| Oh wow, those were pretty nice performances and songs. Decent episode. |
  |
| Wow, another great episode, and with two songs no less, it's pretty much given now that S2 is HUGE improvement since S1. And what's important - the characters and their interactions now clicks a lot better with me than it did before. Seems like the episode one wouldbe the only one real letdown of this season but let's see where we go next. Still wondering how did they animate it, seems like hairs and bodies are 3D but faces are almost always hand-drawn (did they put those frame on 3D models?), and there seems to be kind of hi-quality motion capture, motion tracing or rotoscoping going on, really don't know. |
