I think so too. At this rate, there may not be enough air time to cover Love Live! tournament. It looks very hopeful for season 2

My prediction is that this anime will not cover Love Live. Most likely it will end in a proper performance of Muse in front of a full house, probably at school, which is the first ambition for the trio of Honoka at the beginning. They should also be able to make it to top 20 but either it will not cover the actual tournament, or put the result (most likely not going to win) in some epilogue. At the end the real reason of existence of Muse is to get attention for the school and stops it from being closed, so whether they win in LoveLive is a relatively lesser concern (also less realistic).
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.

yeah, unfortunately the tournament will not be covered :( It's true that Muse's greatest concern is not Love Live! but the school being closed. The first season probably ends with the school saved (and another PV). However, I feel Love Live! tournament is a terrible thing to waste. Thus, they can go either one of two routes:

_School saved before Muse entering the final tournament with 20 other groups. Their objective will change to winning Love Live --> second season

_Muse is mentioned to have won Love Live! (or maybe not, like you said). Their school is saved. Subsequent releases will be Music Videos/OVAs about the tournament itself. This is pretty clever if they want to end the anime series right there but still hold fans' interest for the multimedia project.

Personally, I prefer the first route because I want to see their continue evolution. However, I'm afraid that 2nd season may not be as good as the first one since lots of the appeals right now will be gone. I really like Love Live! so I'm torned between being able to watch more of it, and having this precious little gem tainted by prolonging dull plots

I think this has been said a lot, but Love Live is very well-executed and makes great use of all its ideas, even though we might have seen them somewhere already and even though we probably know what will happen next.

And with the way they're going right now, it really sounds like they're gearing up for a second season. I thought the second season would actually be about Love Live! itself, so well... most think so, too.

Poor Honoka. Her enthusiasm could only take her so far. Serious fever, fainting on-stage... whew. Kotori's letter, and the next episode hints... dang. Although it's quite easy to predict that the next episode will be about Kotori's decision and her friends, I still can't wait.

Interesting opinions. I can't say much but since my eyes are practically trained to follow every Ericchi's movement.. I just noticed how she's somehow almost always with Umi.

FAK. I HAVE A NEW OT3 NAO. Umi x Eri x Maki (although Nico x Maki couple actually looks cuter than I thought, then again, I've always been an Eri x Umi shipper) XD

Awesome performance! Sad to see Honoka collapse like that T___T I hope this doesn't mean they lose their top 20 rank. Still wondering what Kotori is planning to do, I hope she doesn't leave the group.

With all the videos for songs and the live performance with all nine members, do we really think it is possible that anyone will leave the group? I know it is fun to think of it, but is it even possible? I love the show and have already bought their best of album, their live concert BD and their 4 single CDs this year and their first anime BD but it seems like we are watching Romeo and Juliet and wondering if they will live or die... when it was written hundreds of years ago... LoveLive! was not written hundreds of years ago but for the most part u's is a formed group and we are watching "The Making of u's" so I think the chance of anyone actually leaving, permanently or for even a whole episode is really remote! Anyone disagree?

Even if there is a second season, which I think there will be, I think that 9 has to be the final group unless the first season somehow takes us up to the present.

Still enjoying watching it even though I feel that we know how it ends! We knew all along but the journey here is more interesting than just the final destination.

ask any musician. Bands break up a lot, even successful ones. However, I am conflicted on what's going on with Kotori. I think the offer she got was to attend a prestigious school for college prep in her Third Year. Because of that, I also think, it may not necessarily affect Love Live, if the start of the term is the next year.

However, it will mean Muse will have problems. I don't think Honoka is going to die either, but she may be out of action a bit. Personally I want a second season. I love how they've developed the characters and brought it together. I'd hate to see it end after just a couple more eps

Honoka should get a stupidity prize. Everyone knows that you rest the day before doing anything that needs work from your body. That one day exercise won't help anything quite the opposite. Even if she didn't get sic it would still have been stupid. Considering her friend warn her to rest and she already was weak from before she went out she was really asking for it.
Well i guess there goes down the toilet the first performance where they would have actually tried to say more than one song.
Let's see what will happen to their rank now. Maybe people will feel sorry for her.

Every anime character should know that rain is poison to them. I don't recall in recent anime anytime where a character went out in the rain, or got wet, that they then got sick.


lol..! At least Honoka has some build up to it xD. Cutting on sleep for days, overworking and practicing more than she should, and finally deciding to practice in the rain soaking wet ._. ... She was asking to get sick with that development ^^'


Yeah this time it was actually done realistically because even in reality when you lack sleep and your body is tired and you go out running in the rain then most probably you will get sick. She was already starting to get sick just from overpushing her body so the rain acted just like a push the sole reason.

I couldn't help thinking how dangerous it was for them to perform in the open in heavy rain. They could've slipped or have gotten electrocuted from all the equipment laying around.


I doubt they have much electrical equipment or anything dangerous but yeah the first thing i thought was them slipping while dancing. I mean this groups dance a lot with the songs. The probability of slipping is quite high when you do it in the rain. I guess Honoka collapsing after one song save one of them from slipping if they continued.

Why don't provided them with some space for them to perform?

5/5

The episode as a plot offers nothing amazing, one can see the same elements that abound in many similar series, but fortunately the narration proves different from similar products and succeeds with his comedy to not get bored, I enjoyed it, then live it was cute! Drawings always well done!

This scene is too cute!

Honoka had to be stupid to go training in the rain... Also, in the rain there is slippery ground and risk of injury.
And she even got herself very bad fever. Eri should be the first who would stop the concert in such miserable conditions, not to mention colapsing of one member doesn't put them in the good light for their fans either.
School director will be furious when she learns of this I am telling you.

Well, the way the things are now, I somehow hope they would get push away from Top20 and don't get to perform in Live Live in the end. It's not like they are suddendly top singers, you know. And ending with friendship theme would be also great.

But on the other hand this isn't Wake Up, Girls type realistic show, so maybe they gets pushed away but then, one of the other groups drop off and they would be pushed back.

Still, with only two episodes left, I doubt they will actually get to Love Live as there would be many rival groups to compete with. Even then, they proceeded pretty fast up untill now and that's something I like because you can't get bored this way.

My bet is that even when they don't get to finals they would gather enough new student applications for the school they avert its disbanding and next year (or next Love Live, who says it's only once a year) they will do their second attempt.

Second season, here we come? Yukiho, Arisa and members of A-Rise would be definitely around with more screentime!

What kind of school is so retarded that it uses a system where a freaking tea club can use the auditorium but the idol club (who would actually need it and have a use for it) can't?

I mean, seriously, what the hell could a tea club possiblty use an auditorium for? No wonder the school's unpopular.

EDIT: Also, obvious plot twist is obvious and just added for forced drama that will ultimately mean nothing.

Honoka did one of the stupidest things ever. Did going out in the rain ever give her the idea that she could get sick? Did she not think if the possibility? She knew she had to sing the next day... if she seriously wanted to exercise she could have jogged on that long ass hallway inside her house lol

Episodes like this one hurt to watch.

So much cringe. Sad that I can predict everything that's going to happen before it does.. Some drama gets really annoying after being repeated so many times. Guessing from how many episode are left, I can assume they don't preform at Love Live this season (I think they won't perform at love live at all). Also it's pretty obvious Kotori won't be leaving, just added pointless drama.

Don't get me wrong, I enjoy the anime. Just wish it didn't follow the obvious stereotypes. Well I'll just shut up and keep watching :p
