I'm kind of surprised about some of the things people are saying about Honoka as student council president. She's shown how hard of a worker she can be, and how hard she can try to do something that's for the sake of her school. That said, I do think it seems a little weird, but I think she could do a good job at it.

Honoka stopping the rain just by yelling at it XD.

Glad this is back. It will be really cool if we actually get to see the competition this time.

Honoka becoming a student council president was a major plot twist.

We saw a lot of Nico-Maki moments.

laugh out loud when Hanayo along wit/ Rin, Maki and Nico asked the alpacas if they saw Honoka.





is this a 2 cour or a 1 cour show?

The funny thing is, in the earliest PVs the girls are shown giving chocolates to us, to the viewer. But in later PVs this changed... to them giving chocolates to each other! And I approve of course.

I didn't see any of this. Have I been living under a rock? But i 100% approve if they put it in the anime.
Maybe our prayers have been answered and the producers are putting more NicoMaki for us

I'm so glad this show is back I love it! I was sad when the first season finished airing, I didn't think there would be another season.

I was confused about something in this episode though, they all looked really surprised about there being another Love Live, but I thought in the first season (I rewatched it recently because of the season 2 airing this season, so I remember this) they said something about being able to enter next time, so I thought it was weird that they were all surprised. Anyway I'm glad they get to do the Love Live it was kinda anticlimactic that they didn't get to do it in the first season.

Love Live! <3


Maybe it's a yearly thing, it just so happened that they're doing it the second time for the same year, which surprised them.

This was like the worst episode of anime I've seen in a long time... I felt like I was watching High School Musical 3 for half the episode, and then the rain scene was just plain stupid.

2/10 disappointment in comparison to the first season.

Surprised Honoka became the student council president.

Also surprised Honoka didn't want to participate in Love Live at first.Luckily they convinced her.

OMG MAKI!!!!I MISSED HER!!!<3

MAKI X NICO MOMENTS WERE CUTE TOO!

Love the OP too.Can't wait to heard more songs (especially now that I can somewhat follow/read and sing the lyrics to a degree)

wow Honoka got on my nerves that episode. Everyone wants to enter the Love Live and the Great Queen Honoka isn't even generous enough to ~tell~ them why she doesn't want to.
Sure they explained it at the end, but, eh, it still doesn't excuse her. Is it really so hard to tell your friends what you think? Especially since you're a leader?

I'd like to see more Maki, but Nico is great too.

I did notice the NicoMaki scene on the Mogyutto PV. But did the other girls do so as well? The only Yuri thing I noticed about Mogyutto (other than amazingly cute NicoMaki scene.) was how the girls were giving out giri(romantic) valentine chocolates on their school....the school being a an all girls school.
There was also that very adorable scene in Music S.T.A.R.T with Nico rubbing her face against Maki. Just so much cuteness!!!
And of course, there was also those moments in the first season everyone knows about.
I heard the manga has so much more of NicoMaki, which makes me really hyped for their translations. (or some raws atleast. If anyone knows where to find them, even a way to find and import them from Japan, I'd appreciate it.)

The manga has loads of it, it's only RAWs that I've seen, and 2 volumes out so far... not sure about the other volumes. And importing wise, you can try CDJapan, I think it's listed there. But for other sources, well, it's not allowed here so...

Well, I was initially wary because of the whole 'Honoka is now the Student Council President' thing, but this turned out to be a good first episode. Characters actually remember what happened last season, and Honoka behaved in a way that reflected some of the things she's gone through.

I actually really liked the rain scene. It might have been a one in a million coincidence, but the rain stopped exactly when Honoka told it to. So why shouldn't they go up against A-RISE even if they don't stand a chance? They want to do it and, who knows, they might succeed. Of course, that scene would've been a lot better if it had just gone from raining to cloudy rather than raining to almost completely blue sky in the span of ten seconds.

Very true - I just thought it was a bit of a silly HURR PLOT TWIST, not to mention a bit of a strange decision for her to make since she's still a school idol. But I guess Eli did it and being an idol at the same time. Still don't know why she stepped down. I imagine it's because she has to think about her future or something but I think they should've explained it.

Wow, finally Love Live! is back. I have been waiting for this for too long. Honoka was too cute in the beginning, haha.

Random not-wanting-to-join-the-Love Live though; I'm not quite sure what that was? Seems like the producers just put that in the extend the first episode without having to put any actual plot, but I guess it's understandable for an introductory episode. I hope they cut out the whole "If you put your mind to anything, it will happen" thing though; not gonna lie, that part was pretty cheesy lol

Looking forward to the rest of the episodes, this is going to be a good 3 months :)

Only redeeming part of this episode was Nico doing her thing and the new OP (which was played at the end.)

The scene with Honoka singing in the beginning was quite cringeworthy. Felt like I was watching a musical.

"Those" sources aren't allowed? I think I've seen them here and there, but thanks for telling me before I ever made the mistake to list one. ^^;;
Yeah, found them on CDJ, I'll be sure to give the site a try real soon. thanks. ^^

was it Honoka and Kottori's moms or Maki and Kotori? maybe they were friends/classmates during high school. But it would be nice to explore their parents past as well.

This episode was... ok. There is some enjoyment in this, like the beginning song was nice. Its probably the closest thing we'll ever get to an anime musical. And the comedic bits were entertaining. BUT there are some problems. Firstly that Honoka becoming the student council president was stupid, and would just never happen. Secondly they never explained why she felt it was ok to not participate in the love live. And third the drama bit was just pointless, it achieved nothing, didn't develop any character, and was just there to fill in the rest of the episode.

And also the musical intro: http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x1mi630_love-live-s2-musical-intro_shortfilms

Was quite enjoyable, but drama still don't work for this show. Just give me some cute girl moments and some crazy ass tournament. I want an idol show that work like Saki.

When Honoka was hesitating about entering Love Live, I was like "Honoka, the anime is not named DO NOT ENTER LOVE LIVE! School Idol Project." Although, I was glad that she finally gained her resolve and decided to enter anyway despite such a transparent problem holding her back. Another thing I learned. HONOKA is JESUS! XD

Here we go again.

It feels weird having this as one of my most anticipated series - the first one was such a shock success for me that it feels odd for me to have any expectations of it at all. But, so far at least, it's living up to those expectations.

That's one mighty change of heart for Honoka. I really don't think she's student council president material. Niko being as awesome as always.
