Does your country have an education system influenced by America? Just curious.

Also, I want to add that I know at least in Japan and HK (not entirely sure about Taiwan or China) there are schools which use 60% as passing level. But I have never heard of 75% being used.


Yes, and also by Spain, but it changed drastically after the 1946 Philippine liberation. However, June 4, 2012 were now implementing the K12 educational system.

So how many grades did the school system have before they implemented the K-12 educational system?

Our system is: A=100%-90%, B=89%-80%, C=79-75%.

While this system is still used for the final grades, the scoring system for tests has actually been changing over the years to where everyone has to get an 80% just to pass a test.

Great episode, the decision to close the school at the end will hopefully make Eri join soon!

Nozomi's sudden change in character was great!

Nozomi's the fuckin best.

And I'm confused at the end. Is the school now closing after 1 year instead of 3 years?

No, what the school head said is they will stop recruiting new students, so after the 1st year graduates in 2 years the school will close; whereas in ep.1 they were saying there was still hope for the school to continue if the school's new intake next year goes up. But this is now superseded by the decision to have no new intake at all.
So MAL finally starts locking news threads that are only a few weeks old?

I wonder where was the announcement of this change? Or we are seeing yet another case of changes made that impacted users but not communicated to them?

I wonder how long people would put up with this.

As much as I have a bunch of information to share about anime announced recently I cannot share it in news board, and the anime series is too disorganized and chaotic to share information except with people already interested in the particular series.

That's right. This is why back in ep.1 Honoka still thought that if she could make the school idol project a success the school could become popular and enough new students will come to prevent a school closure. This is no longer possible now because the school has decided not to take any new student in the coming year.

I think the intention was to make it sound like irreversible and so make it even more joyful and relieving when they really succeed in stopping the school closure. Unlike Tari Tari, I believe here the school will not close at the end. It could the result of winning at Love Live (a la Girls und Panzer) or some other more ingenious way, I don't know ;-)

Great episode, at this point I'm sure that this'll be at least a 2-cour show.

Seeing as a lot of people say the OP and ED sound great, I'll be downloading them in a bit to evaluate them. But since it is 2013, the music would've been mastered in 2012 or 2013 which usually means that it's shit. Perhaps this is an exception without hypercompression and low dynamics.
I'll edit it my thoughts in a bit.


How can you tell from an mp3 rip? The discs sound good to my ears but I listen to my music LOUD so my ears may not be the best judge of dynamic range. I do think 48Khz 24 bit sounds better than 44Khz 16 bit but that could be my imagination.

I replied to you on your profile page, it's rare for me to reread a discussion but I thought that people may have responded to me.
I almost never read discussions after I made my post, if you want to reply PM me or post on my profile page.

Actually I think the part of Nozomi talking to Umi is also a sakuga mistake. Unless Nozomi asked Umi to come at a later time to talk to her, it would be hard to see how Nozomi would change into the shrine maiden's costume first before talking to Umi when Umi asked to talk to her alone.

Oh, so Live Live! is competition, I thought it's something different.

And I just realized they are rotating their voices in ED, precisely how they agreeded in the last ep :)

But cliffhanger like this? I don't get it, wasn't school closing the reason why they started the group in the first place? Why to put it as shocker (well, not really) for a second time? From viewer point this wasn't really needed even it was definitive this time as nothing changes. And she said "Starting NEXT year, school will cease to accept new students". What that means is that this year's applicants for first year are still allowed as those applications are handled upfront and since they didn't announce that publicly nothing is definite (even though I thought that they already stopped accepting new students in the first ep but well...) So IF Love Live if successful and they get many new applicants they still have time to reconsider. Therefore this was pretty unnecessary drama in the end of the episode.

And I already see two possible candidates for Muse to join next year :)

Omg Ikr bout what Nozomi Tojo Sempai was touching Nico kun Breasts so she can work on her studys and Sort of get her attention and show her what weird/heart warming personality she has. Eri chan is caring,I knew It since 1st I layed eyes on the 1st episode.

Despite the animation mistakes, this was most likely the best episode so far. The boob fondling was unnecessary and annoying though.
I bet that μ's will become so popular heaps of people will be trying to get into the school, changing the school's fate of closing.

Eh, I wasn't really feeling this episode, although Alisa a cute. Not sure why the student council isn't allowed to try to keep the school from shutting down, unless the decision to shut it down was extremely close to being passed at the time of the first meeting with the chairwoman (and it went through by the meeting with the chairwoman at the end). I'm also not sure how Alisa became a fan of μ's before their orientation day concert, unless she became a fan after Eli recorded the performance for her.

In the ED, it was pretty cool how Eli was singing lead and Nozomi was singing backup since Eli's actions against μ's are pretty overt and Nozomi's actions supporting μ's are pretty covert.

Nozomi's punishments... omg

I hope Eri will help the girls from now on. (Most likely since she appears as a μ's member in the opening.)
Not sure if this will make any difference, though, since the school seems doomed to close anyway.

Let's hope everything is explained in the next episode.

Nozomi can grab and fondle with their boobs all she wants and that´s okay compare to if it had been a male character then he would´ve been the biggest pervert and most likely suspended indefinitely... Not fair x'D Well even if it´s different in a way it´s still groping & fondling and not like giving permission to feel if they are real or not or just out of curiosity like one can imagine could happen in a looker room or sleepover ;P Girls can be curious in a non-gay way too just saying.

After getting through a troublesome Eli-kaichou, the girls face a new problem and it's the three brawny girls having to pass all their exams lol

Nico holding her math book upside down while telling the others not to mess up and doing the Nico Nico Nii every time she gets stuck only to end up being groped by Nozomi was hilarious xD She really had to drag in the other two into her punishment lmao

I was very surprised that it was actually Eli that recorded the videos for Alisa and put them up in the internet as well but her initial intentions weren't very good... Once Nozomi explained it though, it became clear that she's the granddaughter and top student of a famous Russian ballet school instructor. Once you have a taste for the fancier, more professional things in life, you won't want to settle for anything less. I'd like to see how Muse will try to convince Eli to teach her formal steps and input it into school idol dance moves but they actually decided on closing down the school after all that omg ;-;

The ED being sung by Eli and Nozomi was really nice~
