| It's Rabu Raibu! time! with KANON SENPAI!!!!!!!!! and ONINUTS!!!!!!!!! This season will be more chaotic with new members. Just only in the first episode, I know that they will bring more chaos and craziness to the anime for sure. I mean looking at Kinako's ehhhhhhhhh, Shiki's invention, how fangirl Mei is, and ONINUTS. New OP, WE WILL!!, looked very great. The insert song at the end of the episode, Welcome to Bokura no Sekai, could be the last song with 5 original members as well. Kinako is not good at direction. So..., Karin x Kinako when?? lol In the end, no one wants to Join Liella! because they thought that Liella! is too good for them and they can't catch up Liella! level. This could be one of the problems for the second gen as well. HAPPY BIRTHDAY! TANG KEKE!  |

| My sweethearts are back! I'm so happy. <3 I missed all those hilarious facial expressions. It's one of the main reasons why I like this Love Live! installment so much, haha. Beautiful OP. I love these new characters. They are all so cute. So far, Kinako is my favorite of them. I like her funny personality. Kanon went nuts when Kinako called her Kanon-senpai. "What a weirdo." -Kinako |

| And we are back to a true Love Live series. I like how I can feel how the new members may connect to Liella. Keke's arts and crafts abilities keep evolving. When they put like that why the first years aren't flooding to join Liella,is understandable. A fairly individually accomplished team in an important quest. |
 |
| Kinako is just precious, I do like that Shiki used that wierd contraption of hers to send Kina Liella's way so she can be a school idol, because she should've joined like at the end of the first half of the episode. Natsumi is really cute as well, I'd like to see more of her, that hair reminds of Yume and Aine from Aikatsu. |
 |
| Shiki MVP let's gooooooo edit: also wanted to add I am just as excited as Kanon to see og5 become senpais. It's so freakin cute |

| Liella, suffering from success. The first years are quite colorful, literally. They seem likeable, specially Kinako. Also Liella's new song was nice. Good to have them back. |
 |
| LL Superstar S1 is my favorite Idol show to date and Im very excited for S2. However, while all opinion, I honestly dont think I like Mei, Shiki, or Natsumi so far. I expected Kinako to be the most boring based on previews, but I actually really like her relationship with Kanon already, and she's quite cute. Natsumi is annoying, Shiki is dry, and Mei is like crazier Hanayo for OG LL. The OP and song before the ED were both bangers, and the performance quality hasnt declined, but unfortunately my initial worries of them adding new girls to Liella still remains a major fear for now. Guess we will see... Also cool to note that I think this is the FIRST time we've ever seen the girls change training outfits between LL seasons. Honestly a nice touch. |
| Blanks. |
| This first episode was fucking perfect omg <3 I love Kinako so much!! She is super cute and Kanon is so sweet with her :). Liella the best group from Love Live! |
| a great start to a season. loved the chaos from the 4 new members. loved the insert song looking forward for more! |
 |
| best time of the year has come upon us againn! Liella! are now second years and looking for new members. The new student Kinako intrigued me because of her accent. Also, I like the ending performance <3 What a way to start |

| Natsumi is my favorite among the new girls. she's so energetic. ^^ oh, and she's featured in the Love Live magazine I recently purchased from CDJapan. Gonna share some pics in a few days. |

| Very fun episode, I was a bit skeptical at first about the new members but now I'm fairly positive that I'm gonna like them. |

| Voted 3/5 but it was actually a 4/5 episode. Was spacing out while clicking. Honestly, I'm not a fan of the idea of Liella getting more members but guess Love Live wouldn't be Love Live if the same formula weren't repeated over and over again. And as for the new members, I assumed Kinako would be the most boring one based on looks and personality but I now think she will be the one I will like the most. The others are... like too eccentric and chaotic. Not to mention it's the first episode and I already feel like punching Natsumi in the face. |
| Hey look. Hachikou! Good boy. Oh no. Keke gonna have to go home? This'll get messy. I liked seeking Kanon react to being called sempai. Reminds me of Yui. Ahahaha. Oh Keke with her over-the-top banners and signs. |

| I'm still watching Nijigasaki S2 due to life being busy but I'll never complain about having even more Love Live to watch! Really good intro for a 2nd season. I was worried about the cast being expanded this season since I enjoyed the different vibe of only 5 members so much, but I really like the new characters so far. Definitely very chaotic to say the least, but they all seem like fun additions. I'm really appreciating just how different Superstar feels to the rest of Love Live. I wonder if by the end of this season if it will replace Nijigasaki as my favorite show to come from Love Live, we'll have to see! |
 |
| LETS GOOOOO PEAK FICTION IS BACK. So happy to have my baby Sumire back, the new girls look amazing as well. Really gonna like Shiki a lot I can tell. Can’t wait to see where this season goes Animation was great in this. Love live stans eating so good rn |
 |
| This show is straight HEAT! I'm glad to see Chisato again. Not that the others aren't awesome, but she just gets me so dang hyped! And once again, I get to think about how Keke finds time, let alone the manpower and resources to make those colorful signs, banners, etc. I can also rate Kanon 10/10 for getting Kinako into the mix and losing her mind over the newfound senpai status! As for the new characters, Kinako was nice and left quite the pleasant first impression. I can't say the same about the other three, but I'll trust the process that they will all come around to be amazing additions to the group. |
| All I can say is I'm very happy after waiting for 1 year its finally here. Also Shiki best girl |
Hello everyone, i like Slice of Life and CGDCT (Cute Girls Doing Cute Thing) anime. I'm also like to make a lot of friends online, so feel free to add me as a friend or invite me to a club :)  |
| I was both excited and nervous for this premiere. Excited because I adored the first season, with it being by far my favourite iteration of Love Live to date. But also nervous because of the introduction of the four new girls undoubtedly, inevitably massively shaking up the status quo. With all that said, this was a solid first episode for the second season, nicely balancing introducing the new girls (well, mostly, Shiki is just kind of there so far) with the existing five trying to recruit new members to help them push on to win Love Live this year. My main complaint with the episode would be Shiki's role in getting Kinako to the rooftop to join the group. Partly because I'm unsure how she even knew what was going on to get involved cos they didn't bother showing her finding out about it (I'm guessing we're supposed to infer that Mei told her?), but also because I don't think Kinako needed to be actively forced to the rooftop at that point. I get the feeling they just wanted to show the other three new girls all kind of playing a part in Kinako reaching the rooftop, but Shiki's part in it definitely felt superfluous. I'm also not overly happy with them just putting the "Keke has to leave" plotline on ice like that, but I'm not too surprised and they kind of had to do it to allow them to introduce the new girls first. It's also a preferable approach to playing semantics and saying that only applied to that first preliminary they got through and not the overall tournament, as my rewatch led me to suspect. Current ranking of the new girls cos why not: Natsumi > Kinako > Mei > Shiki. I know she's the one that got the focus this week, but pleasantly surprised by Kinako so far. Meanwhile, I like Shiki about as little as I was expecting to so far, but hopefully she grows on me as she gets more screentime and eventually joins the group. |

| Sweet return to Liella and they're senpais now (the senpai scene was hilarious) Kinako lost sure helped her to build a connection to Kanon, I can't wait to see how close the two of them get The other three girls seem to be quite the personalities, especially since I was sceptical first about them coming in and making this LL series like SIP and Sunshine, but they seem really fun One member in, three more to grab~! Let's hope the first years clear their doubts and actually try to become idols that could fit in Liella with their senpai |
| Yay it's back and now we're getting a lot of new characters for the newest seiyuu from the agency most of the characters are definitely good so far especially for the character design, also the ending performance was incredible xD |
 |
| So, the new girls have way more personality than I was expecting. After an entire season of bland Niji characters and their excessive, pointless drama, it's so refreshing to have a LL series that's actually fun. I wish they had developed the main five a little more before adding to the cast though. But that's probably too much to ask for in this franchise. Also, I think this might be the first time that school idols actually have a realistic dilemma regarding their club. The usual arc involves a scrappy little idol club that makes it big against all odds, or if they don't, inspires tons of dreams and thousands of fangirls to join their club or start their own. What's neat about this episode is that our girls aren't having trouble recruiting on account of some nefarious student council, past trauma, anti-idol prejudice or anything - it's simply because most of the student body is genuinely intimidated by these five extremely talented and passionate girls who came out of nowhere and nearly made it to the finals of a massive televised idol competition. It almost made me laugh when I realized what an obvious issue that should be in like every one of these. There were a lot of original scenarios and character traits on display, paired with impeccable comedic timing. They even remembered to address Keke's whole dramatic hook that was set up last season. I'm so glad Superstar and its director are back. I expect this to be a very good season. |
| So this my first love live project anime and the 1st season was good I loved it and this 2nd one from the first episode isn’t bad but it feels weird adding some new characters after I got used to the first 5 in the 1st season. I know the other love live anime there’s a lot of idols in the group but I kind of don’t want more than the 5 we already had. It feels a little off putting to add new characters but as the first love live anime I saw I feel like they did a good job showing new comers to the love live project animes like me that they’re adding new characters. Overall I’m glad to have love live superstar back and I’m interested to see how they deal with the new characters.  |
| I feel like Superstar uses a bit different formula on cast. I would call it "Kohai Offspring". With Kinako being child of Kanon and Keke, Mei of Keke and Chisato, Natsumi of Chisato and Sumire, Shiki of Sumire(?) and Ren. I mean personalities and images wise. Not sure if I like it or not. They were fine with "5 members" but classic "9 members" was already used twice as-is and re-imagined with Nijigasaki. |
| I'm glad, no I'm ecstatic that I'm getting my Love Live dose this summer as well. The first season of Superstar was already fun and this one added even more crazy characters, I love it hahaha. Great start. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| ngl I think 9 members is too much like the previous series. But still I think it's good :D |
 |
| For some reason I didn't pay much attention to S1 but after re watching it is probably my favorite group of LL girls, being honest I got a bit upset to know they were going to add more members since I found a 5 people group to be perfect, more than enough time for everyone and the former member had great chemistry but oh well, this episode was super fun and the new girls seems interesting enough, specially Mei, she seems like a 10/10 and her very first scene was great, as long as there aren't like a hundred regular girls like on Nijigasaki I guess it should be fine. |
| Wow, what a banger first episode to bring back LL Superstar! This definitely wasn’t short of funny moments, so much greatness between our classic Liella girls while also getting slowly introduced to the new girls of this season, it’s a colorful bunch too (literally lol), we got a country girl, an inventor/science girl, a Liella fanatic that hides her fixation around others looks like, and a YouTuber girl lol, a lot to take in there, I definitely didn’t know what to expect with them but I like them already. I’ll say I don’t think this show needed more club members, one of the things I loved about the first season was the smaller cast to allow for more focus on each girl, but I understand why we’re getting new girls of course and I’m sure I’ll like them all the same, I am wondering who my favorite of them will be, of course Sumire is still my fav in general lol. And wow that performance at the end, what a strong introduction to the new season, my reaction was much like Kinako lol, so good. Needless to say, I’m very excited for more Superstar goodness, and more LL in general after Nijigasaki last season! Also wow that OP, another one that will be stuck in my head forever lol, and the visuals were awesome! |
