| Chika in her Akihabara get up was hilarious. Trying to steal the spotlight from K.P.P. Yohane attracts a crowd. I thought her goth makeup looked great. Mom coming back to drag away the little girl after everyone else fled. I laughed when Chika finds the µ merchandise. When I visited Tokyo last year I kept stumbling on Love Live! memorabilia, but sadly had to resist the urge to spend too much. I had a second chance on it when I traveled on to Bangkok and found even more L.L. stuff at a mall, but again had to think about my budget, though anytime we passed a µ poster or picture my GF would exclaim, "Look, it's your friends!" Ha ha ha. |
| Great Tokyo episode. <3 Their rival looks kinda aggressive. in a good way. I hope we get to know them more. |
| Who's say this episode is don't have a cameo ? :p |

| Music speaks to people's hearts. All throughout the world. I believe it's a powerfull language. |
| Omg Tokyo and the stair scene π’ Saint Snownrivals omg |
Damn dude, good eyes. |
| Well, that escalated quickly, maybe too quickly. Ok, this has to be the first time they actually felt as a group of people with emotions not like some caricatures or archetypes. I actually liked the drama around Dia and Mari and it was nice to introduce their rivals. It seems they are either doing full Love Live contest in one season which could harm their character as everything happens quite fast and we weren't really shown their group developement. Or they'll see those two singers in the next episode, fails realize they just can't do idols without proper training. That's when the drama kicks in and seeing them down I believe Mari and Dia could change their attitude and cheer on them, joining the group too. I still hate Yoshiko's speeches and it's jarring they are always in the right moment on the right place but for the first time in this series they have some hardship to overcome (singing in their city didn't really count). For the first time I partly enjoyed this show. |
Okami_doge said: Oceeenn said:  I'm not sure , but I have a theory that Saint Snow is the group that somehow beat/destroyed the former third years’ group (either in reputation or something else) and that’s what dia meant when she was scared that ruby and her friends would face the same struggles as her, Mari, and Kanan did. Do you think so? heh, nice theory, maybe the third years may join aqours to face the old enemies I don't think that's what destroyed the third years. I feel like it was their overwhelming gap with most of the competition and probably fanbase difference and reactions. What if Saint Snow is Otonokizaka's new School Idol Group? From what I can see is that it has been more than 5 years since the μ's where champions so all of the μ's sisters and friends have graduated and Riko has been talking how Otonokizaka was a really prestigious music school where she gave up due to the pressure. |

The truth is, I was expecting the rivals to be the group formed by Honoka and Eli sisters, but instead we got that cringy pair. If you've seen the magazine in episode 4, you'd know that it's more than 2years since those two graduated. |

GREW said: µ's... didn't do anything like this actually. Certainly not this early in the game.I wonder when Aqours will do something new, NOT done by µ'se. You wanna know what they were doing in episode 7 of the original series? Trying to pass their tests so they wouldn't be shut down. So while Aqours are performing at a concert facing what could possibly be one of their biggest challenges as idols, the girls in the original were stressing out about a little speedbump that had nothing to do with their actual idol activities and would be resolved within the very same episode. I also find it really weird that people are coming to conclusions about exactly what sort of characters the girls in Saint Snow are going to be like based on a few glares, a few gestures and one or two lines of dialogue. That doesn't say anything about what their relationship with Aqours is going to be like in the long run. Also we literally did not know ANYTHING about A-RISE until Season 2 so comparing them to that standard is also weird. |
 |
| I'm going to call this early here but... I think Aquors is going to lose. That would probably be a weird twist to things. They don't look like they care too much for their school imo. Other than the 3rd year girls which seem like they really want to save the school. And come one Chika keeps triggering death flags when she says. "We'll save the school like that µ's did. I do love her but it irks me when she says that. If Saint Snow really is the A-RISE they better step up their game. Because A-RISE was far more intimidating whilst being like the nicest rivals. They just had the stuff to back it up. Hell the song A-RISE did was so good that you'd understand why µ's loss. |

| What i dislike from the episode, is only one, it's the rivalry. when the rival show off their own talents, what they can do, what they are good at to the main character, i really dislike that a lot and i think it's so rude in sportsmanship. so i don't like the rivalry in this episode even tho it's the first time they showed it in this series. but overall, i enjoyed the show. character and jokes are still hillarious xD "Mirai Zura~~~~~~!!!!!" i'm so glad i can hear that again xD but still, the fact that the story is the same thing like the previous generation still bothers me a bit. looking foward to the next episode and to their concert xD |

GREW said: clap...clap...clap... I wonder when Aqours will do something new, NOT done by µ'se. Maybe get rekt in front of a huge audience, which I hope to happen. I mean, they don't even try to create something new for the girls. I wouldn't lose hope yet. Despite Aqours shamelessly trying to emulate Muse at every possible opportunity, I'm still given the impression that they're being set up for a massive fall. Having this scenario play out would save this show in my eyes. It would be good to just see something different. The dark side of school idol competition. As it stands, Aquors is just a charmless mockery of Muse. |

| Mari x Dia as hell! I love Maru's outfit awe what a cute cinnamon roll. Although the outfits they're wearing for the performance I just realized, what are those huuge bows? It's weird. I didn't realize we were at an episode for rivals though, and I'm disappointed since I thought Aqours rival group would be Eli & Honoka's sisters from Otonokizaka but instead we got some weird pair that looks a little like Nico's siblings. I like that Saint Snow has more of a rival feel though, for A-RISE they were kind of chill and cool with being rivals but Saint Snow has that feeling of "I'm gonna beat you and we all know that well". I also just realized the piano Riko was playing at is in the same room and it's the same piano Maki used the first time Honoka saw her singing "Aishteru Banzai!". Feeeells! |
| A rival has arrived! But I wonder if they are the current #1 in the list or not. Anyway, another enjoyable episode. :) |
 |
| Personally, i don't mind Saint Snow being cooky, while friendly rivalry is ok, i miss tue rival, who is cocky and like trash talking, plus, if they did beat Dia and others, it will deeper their rivaly more :) |
| on Sadpanda, C90 came-out and there were so many doujins of Sunshine which is fap treat worthy! anywayz, It's inevitable that if they go to Tokyo, they would encounter School Idol groups which is much better and have more experience than them! those 2 new girls are ought to be tough competitors for sure! 5/5. |

Dadothedog said: footmaster said: they went first so their rank is lower then Aqours. i guess the only reason amours is so high on the list was because of the gimmick video getting them a lot of attention. meaning the out rank meany idol groups that are much better then them.A rival has arrived! But I wonder if they are the current #1 in the list or not. Anyway, another enjoyable episode. :) Yeah. Seems like that way based on that last scene. |
|
| What this episode has taught me is that more than half of them are idiots, more than I thought before, a bunch of lovable little idiots that is. But at least they having fun. Those two at the shrine had dang good singing voices and were honestly, pretty amazing in my opinion. Good episode, and I look forward too the next. |
A Wild and Small Otaku has Appeared! |
| The new rivals were incredibly cringeworthy This isn't a mindless battle shounen series |

| I like the edgy duo rivals. |
| So Sunshine can be decent when it isn't trying to ape its predecessor. Probably the first time I cared about these characters. But Dia is as annoying as always with her Eri act. |
| Love Live sunshine drinking game: Drink whenever μ's is mentioned or theres some sort of reference. |
 |
| The new rivals are so bad. Cringed so hard when one of them was doing flips. I think one of the biggest flaws with this show is that they never show the characters practicing or preparing for anything ever. The practice and preparation was a really big part of the original series but it looks like nobody even cares about it here. They can just perform dances and songs that were seemingly made up on the spot or entirely off camera. |
 |
| I felt some excitement in seeing the girls in the same places where the μ's practiced, even I hoped for a meeting or with Nozomi at the sanctuary, or with one of the other girls in the street. That they encountered some shreds was in the calculus, in fact they come those two bronze faces. I imagine that the level between the two teams will be obvious, but I hope they build the narration so that it will not be discounted what will come after the clash; There you play another winning card this anime series. Pleasant comicity and really great graphics quality of backgrounds and drawings. |
 |
| That Winter or Snow Duo (whatever their name is) were so good! Competition is scary. |

| They all went off to Tokyo with everyone they know having big hopes and expectations for them but they soon found out that the competition in the city is as fierce as it can get after they had their fun in there. There aren't many people that can actually flip over their competition to assert dominance but their new rivals in Saint Snow are definitely one of them. Dia tried to stopped them in fear that they might experience the pain of failure, rejection, or even straight up intimidation from all the expert school idols out there but there's no knowing what will happen unless they give it a try. I hope it will end well for them! |
 |
| All of their initial outfits was funny, especially Yoshiko. Looks like Saint Snow will be a formidable rival. |
 |
| Tokyo. Their first invitation as a 99th ranker in a School Idol project held by Love Live! I still don't believed, they could do that shit, breaking into the top 100! But, yeah, the previous PV was an absolute stunner, and they deserved the invitation to feel a new experience, a new environment, a new rival, Saint Snow. Ah, that siblings girl from the movie. Finally i found their first met scenes. And yeah, they looked so great, and really talented. They surely held some great rivality in the next future, i believed. So, yeah, everything was not a dream for them, join a big event at Tokyo, a place where a great Love Live competition had been held, a place where every powerful Idols had been stay. However, they must realized something important. The challenge of every new School Idol in an unknown location. Its like a real thread that even bigger than your imagination as a countryside girls. Not everyone had their kindness like their homeland. Could they survived what they might've hit in their first performance outside their homeland? Such a shame, Dia couldn't even give a proper hint for them, especially to her little sister. Well, i do hope it wasn't turn to be bad shit for them. So lets see how well they could handle the situations in the next episode! |

| So, it's going to be Saint Snow vs. Aqours. Next episode will be interesting. |
 |
| Liking Dia alot tbh, I expected her to be more like Eli and not supportive of Ruby being in Aqours so I'm glad that isn't the case. Honestly though I'm kinda disappointed that we've not really seen much training so far? Like, every episode's kinda just been them messing around? Like as great as that song in the pv episode was we didn't get to see any of the process of making it at all, and the most training we've seen was in the episode where Ruby and Hanamaru joined the group |
| Ahh the familiar sights and backgrounds! But obviously those two girls are bad news. I mean they did a bunch of flips on the way out to insert dominance. Lmao |
