| Love Live! is a great anime to watch if you want to smile and have a nice time, until the end of episode 11. This episode was sad, I was close to crying! |

| Yup. One stupid action from her and now we have all of this stupid forced drama.. couldn't she just have made a simple choice using common sense? Maybe they would have been able to participate in Love Live if Honoka wasn't so stupid. And also if Kotori wasn't ditching them lol |
| Thank You Umi-chan! |
| This drama is literally killing me, I want to lay back and enjoy this anime but I can't when I'm cringing at this bullshit. Everything before episode 11 was great, but it's all downhill from there. Praying next season doesn't have as much pointless cringeworthy drama as this one... |
 |
| That slap felt so good! Honoka is really pissing me off for a couple of episodes. Yeah give up! Get the hell out of here! You stupid egocentric f*cking hypocrite! And you dare get mad at Kotori... |
 |
| well that escalated quickly this episode... |
 |
| Ehh, no more of this awful melodrama please. Garbage episode from beginning to end. I'm fine with drama, but not when it's this hamfisted, soulless and emotionally manipulative. Not one character felt as if they were acting naturally, though I guess I was expecting a little too much from Love Live to be able to sit back and enjoy some cheesy, overly optimistic idol-y cuteness with some catchy j-pop tunes. |
| Hey look, more melodrama because I guess we need something for the last episode and a half. Can't wait for everything to be solved at the end of the next episode in a neat little package because of the power of friendship. At least it's almost done. |
| The melodrama in the air is high!!! But that slap tho, didn't see that one coming. |
 |
| Why did they stop participating without her consent? Why was Honoka not worried about Kotori? Why didn't Kotori tell Honoka earlier? Why does this one accident cause so much melodrama? Just have it be a lesson for Honoka and then move on. This was an okay episode. I didn't like the forced drama but I did feel some emotion and we were shown flaws with Honoka's character. I liked the slap at the end, but really everyone should get slapped. |
| The statement below is true. The statement above is false. |
| That was a rightful bitch slap to snap Honoka out of that mindset >:( WEAK!!!!!!! Her resolution has gotten too damn WEAK. |
| Reactions/other things while watching the episode: -I thought it was really fucking adorable that Nico was the first one to ask how Honoka was doing, and she looked really (openly) concerned in this screenshot -Mild inconsistency with Hanayo commenting on how devastated Honoka looked when they broke the news about not participating in Love Live to her, when all the first years were standing outside the house -Pretty sure Nico and Eli drank from the same water bottle -Turns out that the reason for the delay in the big reveal was regret for not being able to get Honoka's opinion on it before making the decision. -Interestingly enough, Honoka's face was the only one not visible during the actual announcement, and the atmosphere of the scene was pretty much the exact opposite of the scene in last episode where they were discussing what song to perform at the school festival. The lighting was also the opposite, with the scene from last episode being noticeably brighter than the similar scene in this episode. -Nico didn't sound all that bothered in the scene toward the end (after Honoka contemplates giving up on excelling as an idol group), which kinda took away from the scene. However, she outright states her motivation behind joining μ's, which actually is a pretty good indicator of how far the group has gotten. The episode definitely focused more on Honoka and Kotori, and it wasn't until afterwards that I realized that this is actually a Honoka character arc than a collective μ's arc. I also realized that the three original members of μ's didn't get character arcs until now in the show, so I see why this episode was necessary, but I didn't really enjoy it that much. The episode did, however, do a good job with the escalation of conflict within the group, I thought. |
 |
 I honestly thought Nico or Eri would be the ones to smack the fire out of her. |
 |
| That was a pretty depressing episode. |
| Really intense and well-built in terms of directing. The screenplay manages to perceive the situation tense and dramatic, the end is more than good, with Kotori that becomes very selfish towards other girls; good Umi! |
 |
| So much drama! At least they saved the school, but everything else in this episode was so depressing. ;_; I hope Umi's dramatic slap will change Honoka's mind and make her recover her former motivation. This kind of slap usually has this effect. Not sure if Kotori will actually leave. That'd be sad, so I hope not. (I wonder what will hapen when the 3rd year girls eventually graduate, though.) |
 |
| This episode made me regret watching this anime at all. |

| I honestly can't take anymore of the stupid drama in this anime anymore, thankfully there's only one episode left. |
"At some point, I stopped hoping." |
| After Honoka passed out, I was horribly worried for her...then she was fine after all...then everything started slowly crashing down ;-; They messed up the show, dropped out of Love Live, and Kotori's leaving. The school might've been saved but it was the opposite for Muse. Honoka let despair take over her because of blaming herself for being inconsiderate by being inconsiderate and quitting the group. It was devastating to see them fight and reject any hope of being successful after all they've been through... I hope Umi slapped some sense into her because it's a very hard time for them all and me apparently ;-; |
 |
| Seeing the cheerful Honoka being depressed is quite sad. Damn, that slap from Umi... |
 |
| That drama, the emotions :'( |

pikel-kun said: That wasn't a "slap some sense into her" moment. Felt out of place and wrong, I would have beat her ass for that slap. Exactly how I felt about it too. I mean come on, you've been the trio (including Kotori) have been best friends like forever, and this happens? .. You'd think that Umi would at least try to understand what Honoka is going through. Calling her "the worst" felt really out of place. |
| new Kotori thinks its her fault Honaka quits & decides to stay |
| Oh shit, things got serious really quick, and it's a clusterfuck all around.. It's interesting thing that genki girl like Honoka got character development like that, and honestly maybe it's for the better, she's not only genki now, she's more relatable.. And, I think, after a couple of meh episodes of training I liked this drama episode more.. |
| Props to Kotori's seiyuu this episode. She felt very real, especially when she was talking with Umi at the park. You could really tell she was on the verge of tears. Honoka really needed that slap. Thank you, Umi 🙏 |
| oh man I was hoping to see Nico square up against Honoka. Too bad maki held her back though I was anticipating a slap to the face at least. |
| So sad to see Muse start to fall apart. I hope they get along with each other again |
 |
| That ending was so exciting, I'm so hyped for last episode. |
| Aaah, can't go without the obligatory main girl drama towards the end. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| Umi being a GOAT friend with that bitch slap at the end. Just what Honoka needed. Edit: Nico would've rekt Honoka too. |

| I can't believe Honoka is acting like that... She was my first favourite and one of my favourites later but I'm not sure anymore. She's so selfish and self-centred. Umi did well for slapping her. |
 "Please stop talking about math when I'm eating." |
| As a love live fan this latter episodes were so depressing to watch.... always even if ive seen this xD |
| B O C C H I S W E E P |
| Not too big a fan of this drama for reasons already mentioned. It's being aggravated a bit too much. This is quite a weird placement for it as well. I hope the ending isn't too miraculous lol Poor Honoka tho. All that optimism couldn't have backfired any worse. Everything must feel like a mistake at this point to her. |
 |
| Just want to say, FK u Umi... Jhonoka best girlz I like Honoka when acting as a depressed girl, that's really cool. |
| Honoka's gone off the deep end lol, I wonder if she will go full on Shinji mode |
 |
| Ouch! That slap. Very dramatic and emotional episode. |

That wasn't a "slap some sense into her" moment. Felt out of place and wrong, I would have beat her ass for that slap. omg I agree if my friend slapped me I'd have to hire a hitman |
| see you, space cowperson . . . |
I just found out that this anime has this on |
| Honestly I hate Honoka in this episode. I fully get what she's going through and what she's feeling as I've been there myself before, the only difference is she let it affect the people around her and honestly her actions are selfish. I just hope things work out in the final episode. Also on a lighter note I had to do a double take when I saw the dream and george thing, I guess love live predicted the dream smp? |
| This episode is so heartbreaking for the viewers and the idols themselves. The toughest breakdown and moment is finally here. When Honoka decided to quit and Umi slapped her, i felt so sad. She is the one who made and inspired the unit and now she is the one quitting. I was cheering Honoka the whole time that she can still do it and stop Kotori from going overseas. Don't give up!! |
