| Good episode, really loved the songs again. I think Muse is doing quite a good job imo with their efforts. I look forward to more of their work soon and hope for the best for them. Halloween episode coming soon?! Oh snap. This is getting fun. |

 |
| Umi and Kotori in bikini? Gets my seal of approval. Another lovable episode (main focus on Rin this time) and can't wait for the next one based on the preview. |
| Hmm... Well I can sort of understand how Rin feels. I guess this will hint that Rin will become leader when Honoka graduates. |
| An episode based on Rin and then a song where she's the center has made my day. Loved this episode, still hope to see Nozomi take the stage of an episode soon. |
| The girls decided that Rin will be the leader while the other girls are on their school trip. She just needs some confidence in herself. She looked cute in that dress. |
 |
| Rin as temporary leader was great. The bond between Muse sure is strong. I got teary along with Hanayo. Rin was really cute in the center's dress, glad everyone decided to have Rin wear it. Rin got confidence on that she does look cute, some young boys are just tsundere! Rin's panic though was nice, I really did enjoy see the first year's relationship. They really do understand each other! Glad the Rin would wear dresses, I liked her development! |
 |
| I like how this episode is focused on Rin, she didn't get enough screen time during the 1st season and the 2nd season. Character development + Confidence + Rin as leader = Excellent. It made me like her even more now. Plus she looks great on that dress. When ever there is a problem, u's is there too help. They have a strong bond friendship :D. |
| Nice that Rin gets a spotlight ep! Also love how Rin looks in that dress. |
"Fortress Maximus has come himself. Okay! Then I shall get Fortress Maximus to fight me, huh huh huh!" |
| The HanaRin is strong with this one. |
NYANPASU~! |
| Rin-chan is so cute c: I think Rin will be the new leader after Honoka graduates! |
If you feel attacked, you're part of the problem. Even if things are painful and tough, people should appreciate what it means to be alive at all. — Yato |
| I always love the ED's when they catch the feather at then end~ Even if Rin is boyish she is even more cute x3 |
| Nyan~ |
Tohka_Yatogami said: Rin looked cute in that fashion outfit. to be honest... that fashion dress had a few things that could have been better about it... But Rin made it work X3 (Hana looked good in it too, i have to give props) YUS! episode about Rin :D lovely. She has the same insecurities as me (kinda) so she is totally relating to me. i liked the performance but when are we gonna get back to the ones w/ alot of dancing? |
| Rin looked very pretty in that costume! |
| All aboard HMS EliRin and HMS RinPana. I thought I won't be able to see HMS NicoMaki in this episode but... http://imgur.com/1KprtNB.jpg yoro subs at your service. http://imgur.com/z2cFmc5.jpg I really like this part during the ED. |

| Rin the temporary leader until the other 2, 2nd years come back. LOL at Honoka trying to get the typhoon to go away. Rin episode was pretty good. Kayo-chin in that white dress was very kawaii and Rin as well. |
 |
| And that card game reminds me of Nisekoi. http://imgur.com/8T0pAmR.jpg poker faceeeeeee. |
| Love Live is just too good. A really nice episode about Rin! Next week is a Halloween-themed episode, ooh! |
| Good episode. The girls of Muse look very classy in suits. |
| Salmon is delicious. |
| I like them in tux better than dresses. Rin-chan is all cute here. So who's next? |
| i love honoka was able to know what's up as soon as she heard rin wasnt gonna be the stage leader. rin turned out to be really pretty though. |
    |
| wow Maki looked handsome in that outfit. I feel you, Rin |
| Ooh, now they've made Rin at the center of this episode. Maki's look towards Nico and her reaction lol LOL'ed when Honoka was trying to control the rain XD She's deserved it. Guess she'll be the new leader once Honoka graduates. |
 |
| OMG Rin was really sweet ^^ I love Rin:) She looked very beautiful in dress ^^ |
| Rin is definitely the cutest among them and I this episode made her cuter. And, did I see a witch Maki in the preview? Maki is still best girl. |
| This season is FULL of change! Finally a Rin episode. She was pretty underrated till NOW. AHAHAHA. |
| Maki was cute on that dress. I like it that we are getting to know the girls deeper now. I wonder who's the next girl that we will get to know more next episode. |
 |
| Rin can be cute, too. :D |
| Ah it's Rin-chan turn this time !! |
| Rin went motherfuckin HAM; she was adorable in the dress and being the leader. There was a lot of Umi suffering in this ep too, so that's always a plus! |
| I'm glad Rin finally got an episode that focused on her. She was the least interesting cast member, but only because the show had yet to giver her much attention. Now that they've added some depth to her character she actually reminds me a lot of Saten Ruiko from Railgun - outwardly happy and upbeat, but harboring a deeply-rooted feeling of inferiority about some aspect of herself. The episode also continued the theme that's been present throughout this show about how sometimes it's good to have your friends push you a little. Umi and Kotori needed Honoka's pushiness to get them to give being a school idol a try, and they ended up liking it and sticking with it. Hanayo needed Rin to give her a push because she didn't really have the courage to chase her dream. Now Rin's managed to realize that other people see her as being a lot cuter than she saw herself thanks to Hanayo and co. giving her a bit of a push. That said, there's a fine line between encouraging your friends to do something that's outside their comfort zone and not knowing when to just let them be. Actually, Love Live! addresses this too, albiet VERY briefly, with the scene where Umi, Rin, and Nozomi are hiking together and Nozomi has to remind Umi that sometimes you just have to give up. I kind of wish they'd spend a little more time focusing on this 'other side' to what appears to be one of the show's major themes, but even if they don't I'm sure I'll keep enjoying each episode. |

| Nice episode.. Another character's development! Rin! Did anyone feel the character change of Nico? She usually want to be the leader, but not this time! The last episode really changed her.. XD I can feel Honoka's Leader Aura.. XD |
ivaantjia said: Did anyone feel the character change of Nico? She usually want to be the leader, but not this time! The last episode really changed her.. XD Yes it does :) Nico is now happy as part of the team instead of trying to lead it. I can feel Honoka's Leader Aura.. XD It's nice that Honoka actually let Hanayo decide on this one since Hanayo knows Rin best and can push her forward. |
| |
| Honoka this time you couldn't stop the rain xD |
    |
| Rin is the main character episode! xD Cute episode, as always. :3 Rin in that outfit....so cute! x3 Hanayo looked adorable as well~! :3 The first scene with Honoka, Umi, and Kotori at the beach....cute! xD It's too bad that a typhoon made most of there trip indoors...but...least they had some sorts of fun. :3 Overall, adorable episode, too bad Honoka wasn't in it for a long period of time. :P |
| Check out my list! :O Meep! :3 |
| Rin time to shine |
 |
| I'm so happy this is a Rin episode. During the first season we didn't get to see any character development with her at all, only that time when she was contemplating on weather to join Muse or not, and I'm not even sure if that is considered character development. To be honest, she was one of my favorite characters out of all the girls in Muse, just because of her personality and I feel as if I can relate to her in some ways. Oh Rin in the beginning when she said she didn't look cute in a skirt, that is total BS because she looks absolutely gorgeous! She was so pretty in that wedding dress. |
 |
| A VERY strong episode! I'm glad to see such top quality in S2, since most of S1 was the same. Crisp writing, well measured pace, good story, & fun! I'm a big fan of Rin, so I was extra happy. But the best part of LL is the interactions between the girls, and their performances. Plenty of both in this episode. |

It also made me appreciate Rin more, to see her in a dress. |

| Rin does looks really cute in that dress Lovely episode Nozomi episode when? |
Cedronia said: Nozomi episode when? THIS. Oppai mama needs some spotlight.. I almost wanted to skip this episode when I realized this was gonna be a Rin episode but thank God she doesn't end her sentence that annoying "nyaa" throughout the episode. She'd be much more bearable talking normally instead of trying too hard to be cute. |
