| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- This episode is pretty :3 Loved the fact that it has more an aquatic feel with the characters and the diving outfits looked decorative too. The background storytelling has a nice realistic feel as well with the piano play. Simply a beautiful episode.  |
 |
| nice episode, that new ED though, really reminds me of Kitto Seishun ga Kikoeru |

| loved the episode. especially the scene with Dia. Really hilarious when she started quizzing Chika on Muse. Didnt realize that she would be THAT kind of character lol. |
 |
| What an amazing episode. Dia is such a fangirl lel. The last part of the episode was really good same goes for the ED. |

| Excellent episode, Just as charming as the first one. I'm loving this show so much already, I had a grin on my face the entire time. Kinda funny how Chika-chan drew out Ruby with the lollipop as bait XD Also lol at Chunni girl running out of class. Hahaha, The student council president is a Muse fangirl :3 These conversations between Chika and Riko are always so enchanting, That underwater scene with piano was simply beautiful. Also the last scene with Chika and Riko reaching out to each other was very enchanting as well. It's really amazing to see how Muse is influencing the story. The tagline for Muse "Making Dreams come True Together" couldn't be more fitting than this story. |

| Really loving this episode, the different side to Dia was surprising but funny. Really enjoying Chika's journey of getting everyone to join and it looks like it'll be great. |
| Whoa whoa whoa. Dia comes out of nowhere and drops some hard and aggressive u's trivia on poor Chika. The theory I have with her, Kanan, and Mari is looking more realistic. That ED says it all as well. They look so close. The ending scene with Chika and Riko is what love live is all about: good and positive vibes, real and pure relationships, sincere motivations, and cheese. I fuckin love it. Speaking on the animation and production, I love how the characters are animated so well and look real similar to their respective key designs right out of the bat. All these characters look so hhnnngggg. I didn't expect her and the other characters to reference the actual members and their songs, let alone Riko covering Yume no Tobira. If this is gonna be the trend for the show, then maybe watching the original series might not be a bad idea to the new viewers. edit: Also forgot to mention You's cute drawings and how did Yoshik- I mean Yohane run out of the class and get away with it?! Incredible. |
| So far this serie aren't losing to original Love Live , but as for my thought come on it's already ending I want some more that what I was thinking in end. |
Nothing ventured, nothing gained (Girls und Panzer der Film ) / from Nishizumi Miho |
When little girls take candy from strangers. I had to go back and look at Tsubasa's(A-RISE) facial features just to see if she had a birth mark around her face but she doesn't. Dia reminded me a bit of Tsubasa in that they both have similar eye color and eye style. Dia is pretty interesting. She owned Chika, certainly didn't see that coming. I was expecting Dia to be a strict reppy and not a secret muse fan. Still it was funny to see Dia bring up all these basic questions that poor Chika didn't research. That ending, stretch the fingertips, the power of friendship. |
 |
| I must say at the end there was quite awkward. She can seriously fall from there and looking at her trying so hard make things even worst. |
| Nice episode again. And even little, we get more development for the other member like Dia and Ruby. and that last holding hands, so lewd. for riko's problem, maybe because they don't wanna make this full drama, the story doesn't have much impact and felt shallow. |
 |
| So much yuri, I can't believe it. I have to believe it. Riko/Chika is new life. |
 |
| Dia is turning out to be more amazing than I first expected. Also I would like to see Rikyako full cover for YumeTobi. |
| I think I cried a lot more than I did in episode one when Riko started singing Yume no Tobira qq |
| Pretty fun episode but I'm still waiting for less nostalgic factors and more of somewhat new and unique. |
 |
| It was obvious Dia was a school idol fan, but I didn't expect her to be so hardcore. Really beautiful episode in general. Love the aquatic feel to it all, seems to fit with the general feeling of the new group, who I expect to be different from Honoka's until they inevitably perform together. |
| Dia went from Eli 2.0 to best character. Apart from my beloved Yohane of course :)) I feel dejected. I really like ChikaxYou but the show is pushing. RikoxChika :/  Dont really understand why I like You. I didnt really like all that much when she first came out. Now she's probably my third favorite behind Yohane and Dia. This episode is kickstarting the shaping process of the girls into unique characters that distinguish them from µ's. Right now they're really doing a good job at setting them apart in my opinion. And rather than trying to surpass µ's or avoid them. They make full use of µ's references and setting. Even embedding it deep into the character's motivations/personalities. I just hate those other sequals series that just completely abandon the old one and try to make something new but bland. And that "yume no tobira" bit made me grin so much :3 |
| yohane's introduction was just the best lol |
 |
| Great episode! Better than the first one. The visuals are amazing tho. Love both the ED and OP |
| I ship Chika x Riko Dia the closet muse fan XD |
 |
| its just me or my yuri goggles won't turn off in the entire episode, and yeah...!! Chika X Riko is real (so much Chika X Riko moments) |
is it me, or does riko remind me of... |

| I love the opening it's so catchy~ Sunrise put a lot of effort into this, it looks and sounds great! Dia's pretty interesting, more likeable for me now. |
| Okay, wow. This episode was phenomenal. The comedy cracked me up. Yohane's introduction to the class, Dia professing her idol love to the whole school (TOTALLY unexpected since none of the promo material reveals that side to her), Chika peeking up Riko's skirt, Chika luring Ruby with a lollipop and THE FACES. But more to the point this episode really struck a chord with me on an emotional level. Chika and Riko had so many great scenes. But I have to agree that nothing stood out to me more than Riko singing Yume no Tobira. Seriously, that was so good! How is it even possible to cram so many memorable moments into on episode? Its gotta be a 5/5 from me. |

| I was surprised to find out Ruby is Dia's younger sister. |
 "to the world you may be one person, but to one person you may be the world." -a magnet |
| Riko's piano performance disaster was so sad, but Chika's perseverance brings her confidence back :) ED song was nice too. Dia is love live super fan :O Yohane ep when? RUBY A CUTE!  |
 |
| Even the student council president is a die-hard fan of μ's, lol. The more I hear μ's references, the more I get the feeling we'll get cameo appearances, which would be great. Great episode. That underwater moment was simply beautiful. |
  |
| I wasn't really sure about Sunshine after episode one but this episode bought me. Absolutely beautiful episode and if there was any doubt that it won't be able to live up to the first series, it's all washed away! All the references of µ's make me sad and happy at the same time. I cannot explain it. :') |

| Before: http://i.imgur.com/5vGaf5e.jpg After: http://i.imgur.com/9HKSnGL.jpg How the actual fuck did they reach each other kek In all seriousness this just feels like way too much copy pasting of the original Love Live's opening episodes thus far, except the girls are all average as fuck. Really not very impressed by this anime yet (though I wasn't really expecting much of it either) |

| Good episode. Nice ED song. Chika is really persistent in trying to recruit Riko. Dia sure is a huge muse fan. Lol Chika luring out Ruby with a lollipop. Riko having some trouble in the past with playing piano. Good to see her help write the songs. Haha Riko & Chika live right next to each other. Well thats one member joining Aqours. |

HAAAAAAAAAAAA?! In the school idol world, μ's are legendary. They're the holy ground, the holy scripture, the origin of life equivalent to the universe DESU WA yo. And you mistake their name?! Absolutely ridiculous DESU WA. |
| God, Riko is just the best. I guess you can tell she's my favorite through my signature and picture, huh? Loved seeing Dia fangirl out about u's, though I'm surprised that her saying all that through the intercom had no repercussions. I thought maybe it would convince Ruby or some other girls. Underwater scene was pretty, and Riko playing the piano while singing Yume no Tobira was great. Can't believe she just improvised that right after listening to the song :o Also, |
 |
| I love how GAY this anime is lol But seriously i think I might enjoy this more than the original girls lol |
 |
| crap i actually Really like that ending like a lot ,good episode seeing the characters more it seems like they just mix up the personalities Dia = Eri the prez/ niko the fangirl Riko =Umi the serious type/Maki the writer pianist Takami is just honoka 2.0 |

HaXXspetten said: Jesus, no matter what this series does to differentiate itself people are still crying 'It's the exact same!' at the even the vaguest of similarities. In all seriousness this just feels like way too much copy pasting of the original Love Live's opening episodes thus far, except the girls are all average as fuck. Really not very impressed by this anime yet (though I wasn't really expecting much of it either) I mean if you boil it down to the very basics then sure you could find a few similarities. Riko composes the music but her relationship with the girls is much tighter than Maki who was still tsundere up until this point. Plus personality wise they're nothing alike. Dia plays a similar role to Eli, but evidently her reasoning for not approving of them and looking down on them... well it's kinda different. Plus, once again, completely different personality wise. More to the point, what's interesting is that at this point in time the whole 'school shutting down' thing still hasn't been revealed to the characters. And that completely changes the tone of the series. It also leaves the question of how it's going to be revealed to the cast. The school shutting down isn't the catalyst that sets the entire series in motion like it is in the first series which sets up a much more relaxed tone. Plus character dynamics are a key part of Love Live so once you change them you're creating something completely different. Basically, calling it a copy + paste isn't just a shitty opinion. It's downright factually wrong. |

So many anime fans love to whine how generic anime are, but forget to actually bring a logical argument and say shit that only anime fans say. I hate anime fans. |

| I'm loving the characters more now after this episode, pretty early but I just can't see them as the better school idols lol. Muse was too damn charismatic for me. Why the fuck were they doing that window et touch thing lmao. |
| ep 2 review: nice ass at 12:55 |
| My goodness. Dia is a big fan of µ's! I seriously love her now. >.< It is really good to see all of the references from Love Live. >_< Now I am more curious to see why Ruby is so shy and apparently hate idols? Probably because of Dia. Hahaha. Still need to see more of our resident foreigner. |

| I liked this episode. The hand holding was v cute and heart warming- that being said I can't help but not feel emotionally connected at all. I like what's going on here in theory, but execution wise it feels a little sloppy at best. There are still more ep to go tho- so hopefully this will improve lol. Still can't help but feel it's a little corny- then again so was Love live! at times so.. alyya said: I feel the same way. I feel like this has to do with the pacing, the story telling is a little rushed, and certain scenes are more comical at best instead of dramatic. Like Chika reaching out the window- I know that was supposed to be impactful but I was honestly just thinking about if she was going to fall out of the window or not lmfao.Nice episode again. for riko's problem, maybe because they don't wanna make this full drama, the story doesn't have much impact and felt shallow. On a more postive note, Chika and Riko remind me of me and my gf lol. I liked the scene where they were in the water- even though, in all honesty, it didn't really make very much sense lol. |
I couldn't think of anything cool to put here.  |
| this episode is cute, like this so far, can't wait to see Yohane joining the group |
| At least Dia called Chika out on the name for me. I kept yelling out "it's µ's dammit!" every time Chika said U's XD. |
