Finally, Ren-ren is in the School Idol Group. I'm happy that we finally saw the background story of Ren's Mom's missing background story when she was a School Idol. I didn't figure it out where to find what they're looking for earlier but after reminiscing the previous episodes, there was an extra key that Kanon still haven't used yet because of its unknown origin and to think their headmistress is actually just a friend and a fan and not a member of the old School Idol... :v >.<

At the beginning, it was looking grim that the student body doesn't know the truth behind Ren's action and Kanon and friends cannot really tell the student body the truth. It goes to show how solid their character and understanding of the situation so they tried to personally ask some of the student body but didn't really lead to any conclusion since Keke is flaming the students and Sumire is hiding lol... XD

It was a wholesome moment from beginning to end, I'm looking forward to the day that they finally saved their school. Especially the moment when Kanon recited the diary of the old School Idol club.

Chisato asked why there's no "sup" anymore... XD

Their outfit that they used on their performance looks stunning and lovely, it is pure white and gorgeous.

The message behind their song was also lovely and I can finally hear Ren's voice. <3

Now the cliffhanger, I wonder what Keke and friends saw on their smartphone... hmm... I can't wait!

It's not that I dislike this genre but... to add unnecessary fan services to/in/for heroines
and ultimately destroys her character and personality; their purity tarnished because of it,
is the only thing I hope to not happen to them. For that sole purity is my fan service.

What a wonderful episode.

I don't know what I'm feeling right now, but I know only Love Live does this to me. That joy in my heart after listening to the new song and watching such a beautiful performance is the kind of thing that makes this otaku life worth living. I am amazed. I am astonished. I still don't know if I believe what I just saw, because it seems that this Love Live is too good to be real. I must be dreaming.

Great episode. I like the motto of connecting from Ren's mom. I also like how this episode is serious but not overly dramatic or out of place and the ending song was very nice. Great overall

Best episode yet by far! Ren is giving Sumire a run for her money as best girl. Absolutely loved the final performance as well. Think it’s safe to say they’ve overtaken the Nijigaku girls for me

One of the founders of the school was Ren's mother. Interesting that, her mother was an idol even more so it was even cool with these events with fitting this end of episode well.

Not a bad episode

Story felt a little rushed and cliche, but the group showing Ren's mother's diary was touching. Hopefully the saving the school storyline doesn't drag for too long.

good episode. Ren finally join. The member that's hardest to get.. because it requires finding the diary of her mom to convince her.

Was her mom a member of Aqours? Because that story sure felt familiar lol.
The part at the auditory, specifically when Ren started to cry, made me tear up a little, it was a beautiful episode! Not really a fan of the song of this episode, but it was still good! The lyrics were so sweet...

This turned out about expected, which isn't a bad thing. The group is complete now and it was a satisfying episode.

Also liked the advertising part with Sumire in her costume.

I know the characters (and any viewers) who were making snap judgements about Ren are feeling like shat now!~ Of course, me being a fan of Love Live for so long, I knew there had to have been something more to her and her motivations than met the eye. Though, I didn't think it'd be that sad. 😢

I feel for Ren, I really do. Losing the most important person in your life, the pain never really goes away. You'll never completely get over the loss of a loved one because, well, you loved them. The fact that the loss is so difficult to accept is proof of that love.

Anyway, I'm glad there's an episode that centers on her character. I'm not gonna front, I teared up a little when she cried. She definitely will make the group more lively (no pun)!

So, its all about misunderstanding. Bruh, her father was so goddamn bullshit. Hope he died on his overseas bullshit works.

But, anyway, looks like her mother, and her friend, that revealed to be that director, kinda like playing some mystery case. Lmao with that key, and how the director changed her tone after they were unlocking all the clues.

Nice festival. 4 more episodes to binge, but still no Keke arc. Lets see next....

I knew Ren Ren would win me over. There was something so soothing about her smile in the ED and learning her full intentions really lets it finally shine through. With the connected feelings between Ren, her mother & the two schools, this is really starting to feel more like a combination of OG Love Live & Sunshine.
