Yohane is still pretty fun to watch especially in her Fallen Angel outfit.

Looks like a little trip for the girls this episode. Fun. I really like how they are enjoying their time together to build a stronger connection as a club. (kind of like Muse) Aqua Sunshine!

After watching this ep:

-Expecting cameo from Muse, kinda disappointed, but nice episode overall.
-So that's what a country girl looks like when they go to a big city huh, hahaha
-Riko is interested in a romance book eh, she's the hopelessly romantic type, that's kinda cute...
-Hanamaru loves her food so much I actually got hungry while watching
-You is badass in cosplaying
-A new rival equivalent of A-rise kitta!

I'll wait patiently for the next ep.

Excellent episode, Was so much fun to watch. Had a grin on my face throughout the Tokyo segments.

Those over the top outfits for their first trip was funny.

I love how You-chan and Yohane had so many different outfit changes, They were cute in all of them .<3
Yohane's chuuni is always amusing to watch.

That glorious Idol shop with the Muse merchandise! That glorious staircase! As they all ran up I was so hoping that they might see Nozomi XD
Seriously I wanted a Muse cameo this episode, It was literally the only thing missing from this episode.

I think the piano that Riko was playing on might have been the one Maki was playing on, Well technically it was the same music room.
It was nice of Chika-chan to comfort Riko when she felt down, Living up to expectations is always hard but in the end it's your feelings that matter.

So Saint Snow are Aqours rivals, Seem like an interesting pair.
I wonder what direction the show is gonna take now, The third years haven't even joined yet and Love Live is already around the corner. I'm guessing the outcome of this event is gonna be what makes the third years join?
Can't wait for the performance next episode.

compared to a rise, these two new enemies from saint snow are cringy as fuck (sorry had to say it) this ria girl is 2edgy4me

the staff still dont neglect the importance of closeness of every member like what mentioned earlier with chika comforting riko and the group followed chika <-- but i wanna call bullshit on this one, how the fuck they would know where chika went considering the time chika left the room, the rest waking up and changed clothes... watever it's just a small detail

and also if you are watching horriblesubs you might have noticed on 19:34 riko and hanamaru switched places for some reason, hope they fixed this on bd

you is so funny in this episode, i didnt expect she would wear shrine clothes

6.5/10

next episode looks like will be on full drama mode

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?

- It now really makes me wonder what happened to 3rd years, why Dia can't just tell Ruby?
- Chika and Ruby looked so cute in these outfits.
- Are you going to Safari, Hanamaru?
- Riko should come to Dōjinshi convent :)
- Seira and Ria know how to make first impression :)

Huh, one of rivals duo, Seira, is voiced by Asami Tano (Rin in Toriko, Mika in Silver Spoon, Cure Sunny in Smile Precure, Sabine Wren in Star Wars Rebels). Didn't expect a more experienced voice actress to appear here as an idol.

New rival seems edgy. I'm guessing we won't get to see old cast appearance for now.
But it's important to remember that a movie review is subjective;it only gives you one person's opinion.

It doesn't matter if you like LoGH,Monster etc.If you are a jobless or college/school dropout living in your mom basement, you are still an unintelligent loser. Taste in anime does not make you a better person.If elitist don't exist, casual pleb and shit taste also don't exist.

You're not alone man, this episode filled with muse easter egg .. the shrine, the merchandise, the piano room where maki first appearance etc. That nostalgic moment manage to keep me distracted from the main plot lol

Next episode kinda predictable, seeing many similarity plot .. aquors will lost first then the 3rd year start giving them support.

Yeah. I think the next episode the Saint Snow will show them skill. and Aqours felt that if they could not beat them.
And then the third years finally join together to support them :D

I wish :p

A rival has appeared! And looks like they're gonna give aquors some competition. Or trouble. It does feel nostalgic seeing those stairs and that idol souvenirs shop. It reminds of how Kotori was discovered wearing a maid outfit by Honoka and Co.

Seems like the next episode title mean the performance won't end well with our idol country bumpkins.

-The OP animation is a ton more spectacular than I remember
-Come to think of it, did μ's do any performances not sponsored by the Love Live outside of their school? I don't remember something like that happening, so that makes the Aqours girls' rise to fame
-Yeah I like pre-recruit Dia a lot more than pre-recruit Eli
-The way Mari said "school idols" was really weird
-That look of utter disgust from Riko

-Maru is such a qt

-Poor kid, her mom just doesn't appreciate gothic loli culture

-I'm pretty stoked that μ's first fans get spiritual successors in this show. Pretty much each and every time they showed up in the original Love Live anime was a great moment.
-Chika's ojou laugh was pretty great
-Looks like Riko's into yuri
-I honestly did not expect a rival group to be part of the sunshine story
-Pigtail girl has some acrobatic talents but doesn't speak much. Sidetail girl seems to be the lead of the duo.

-They're a pretty loud bunch during the inn scene but that's kinda their whole image
-Riko's reason for transferring makes a lot more sense after that scene in the middle of the night
-They really stepped up the art direction in Sunshine with Chika's morning jog
-Looks like the rival group's name is Saint Snow
-All three first-years sing the ED this time, and Yoshiko's normal voice fits more as part of a group than a solo

The Aqours girls get into their usual hijinks in this episode, which is pretty pleasant to watch, as always. Incidentally, I also like the designs of the Saint Snow girls, but they seem to be a more traditional, antagonistic rival duo rather than the more "amicable rival" approach the first season took with A-RISE. I'm pretty curious to see how the rival thing would play out with this difference in the narratives, but the Saint Snow girls still have an aura of coolness around them like A-RISE did.

Also I'm pretty sure the Saint Snow girls are sisters.

I think the rivals represent hard work & experience whereas Aqours are sort of naive and inexperienced. So I think Aqours will lose next episode & realise how much work it is to succeed as a school idol & that isn't enough to just want something. (Or they'll be crushed & Ruby will go home & cry. This will remind Dia of what happened to her & the 3rd years which will somehow start the process of the 3rd years joining.)

Still think that they should have given a true identity to this show, but anyway playing with references to u's is not that bad. This episode is pretty good overall even without any music.

It's funny to see that we all expected an apearance of a u's member, especially at the shrine probably to see Nozomi or at the end just when see Saint Snow members' boots just before they tell their name (at this moment, my heart stopped).

Although Ria looks like she could cut a bitch and both of them are up on their high horses, their song was really good so I'm looking forward to their future performances and appearances.

I get a feeling Aqours are not going to do so well next episode... It'd be that extra "push" to get the third years to join, I think.

Nah, pretty sure Dia meant stage fright cause Kanana was clearly terrified and numb in that flashback. What means they were not able to preform, got bad reviews, Kanan felt guilty and quit and distanced herself from them what made the trio fall apart. Plus Mari leaving and something else since Kanana seems to have some grudge towards Mari.

That implies that is Aquas gets stage fright, they could fall apart under pressure and have their band disbanded too.



On a side note, really liked the soundtrack during Mari/Dia confrontation.

I like the new 'rival' school idol name! Saint Snow is a really beautiful name and the two members (sisters?) are really interesting. I can't wait for future episodes on them~
This episode made me appreciate the animation so much more than before. The little details and colors are really pleasing.

I love how aquors are huge fangirls of muse though. It makes me miss them so much more.

I loved this episode. The introduction of a rival group was a pleasant surprise to me. Now I'm curious to find out more about Saint Snow.

The complete lack of Kanan was disappointing though. Still waiting for the day where she gets a decent amount of screentime like everyone else.

Yohane going into "fallen angel" mode in public cracked me up.

And don't forget Ruby's cute squeaks.

I'm not liking Saint Snow, they seem arrogant and all, at least A-Rise had likable attitudes. That one chick doing that flip over them and giving them an angry confident glare, yikes.

So the girls consider themselves country girls. I thought they lived in a town at least. When I think of country I think of Non Non Biyori.



Them Plushies look cute. I got the Maki big plush. Overall I would have liked if the girls went to Honoka's place and asked if she was home, although maybe that would have been rude or creepy.
And didn't Umi live near that shrine? Would have been epic if Aquors met at least one muse member.

Yukiho and Arisa graduated Otonokizaka right before Riko entered as a first year (time skip was at least four years), so it would be impossible for them to be school idols. Just putting that out there.

I'm still holding out hope that the new rivals are Cocoro and Cocoa (Nico's little sisters). It would make sense given that the height difference between the rivals coincides with the sisters' hair colors, and their eye colors/hair styles are also similar. Maybe the names they called each other by towards the end of the episode were just stage names, eh? Eh? Anybody?

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.


In the end, Aqours exist to promote µ's. At least new idol doujin R18 doujins fodder.
