| My goddess Maki~ More pics: http://imgur.com/a/rHy1P A major shame A-RISE lost, they were better than u's in my opinion. But it'd be a bad end for the senpais to graduate without winning Love Live. |

| I thought the catchphrase was going to be Nico Nico Ni! The Nico Nico Ni photograph xD They should had made Love Live accept two groups per area! Kinda miss A-RISE already. Maki is all dressed up, good job Maki's mom! That duo unit would be nice! All those support from their school, friends and family! Mochi eating and the wishes at the shrine! The catchphrase they decided to pick is pretty good. The third years plan to stop Muse after this? Since they reacted to Arisa wanting to join Muse. Can't wait for Love Live! |
 |
| Oh my god Maki <3 LOL Hanayo got "spirited away" XD Nico and Maki being a unit :o I miss A-RISE already ;-; mochi.. Can't wait for next week's ep :D |
 |
| I felt bad that A-Rise did not make the final preliminaries, but at least they are happy and supporting u's progress. Unlike any other competition shows I watched, they mostly, sabotage, too competitive, and shows off too much, but A-Rise is different then any of this. Can't stop staring at Maki's Yukata, she looks pretty in that :D. Catchphrases can be difficult, but since everyone is supporting u's, they got a great catchphrase of their own :D. Damn, I want to see more of A-Rise's songs, sucks that they won't be competing in later episodes. Wonder how will it end in the next three episodes. |
| man, that Tsubasa at the end. ;_; |
 |
| It would have been BS if they didn't win after Snow Halation haha. You can't beat that. The staff probably read a lot of NicoMaki doujins huh :p I'd like to see that unit too. |
"May those who accept their fate be granted happiness." "May those who defy their fate be granted glory." |
| My "Best Girl" is so pretty in yukata! And I'd love to see a Nico x Maki sub unit of μ's. I wonder what the third years would want to tell the others. |
 |
Hmm I wonder if Nico x Maki would be a real deal XD , would love to see them tho . Oh and this made me laugh so hard XD  |
Engix said: When was it that they announced A-RISE didnt make it? I dont remember that happening o_o It was just said this episode that u's won the preliminaries. Only one group could continue, and u's won over A-RISE. |
| The best part of this episode was when A-RISE and Muse met at the stairs on the way to the shrine. With A-RISE stepping down and Muse climbing up. It was very meaningful which can be taken literally and figuratively. |

| fun episode with yukata Maki! i thought we get another A-RISE song, but well they lost |
| heh,that nico's pun. |
| honoka takes the cake for best girl of the week again. this is why she's their leader. :D |
    |
| OMG.. Maki looks so pretty in yukata ^^ I wonder what the third years would want to tell the others ^^ Can't wait for Love Live! |
| So i guess we are going to have another season after this. Because Arisa said, she is going to join μ and seems like Yukiho is also interested |
 |
| Maybe the third years wanted to tell them that they want to continue being a professional idols and they want the other members of μ's to join them. After all. μ's won't be μ's if the "nine goddess of music" isn't complete. I want them to take the Im@s route instead of a K-On! route if ever we get a third season. |
|
| Arisa and Yukiho are cute, but I don't see them joining u's. |
maki was pretty this ep, too |

|
| Yukata Maki is just too beautiful :L <3 Liked the ending with how they decided what keeps them rolling and Tsubasa smiling at the sentence :) Nxt ep...Nozomi boob bounce? Me want :3 |
 |
| Mochi! D: So...the driving force of Muse's huh? owo It was all thanks to the support of everyone that made Muse's reach there goal....so now it is time to win Love Live! Can't wait to see the song they'll perform in the final competition! D: |
| Check out my list! :O Meep! :3 |
| That Maki, kawaii in that kimono. Catchphrase should be "Nico Nico Ni" Arisa thought Rin was going to hit Umi lol So A-Rise lost to Muse. NICE |
 |
| So happy they won! Now let's aim for the finals! I gotten sad when they were talking about the 3rd years leaving D: Hope they become real idols after they graduated so they could be together :D |

| Fantastic episode. When A-RISE appeared on the stairways to the shrine it rang the bell that the girls have actually pulled it off even before Tsubasa congratulated them! I was so pleased! Even though they are trying to give hints that Arisa, Yukiho and an unknown girl (Saijou Chika) are all in line to replace Eri, Nozomi and Nico, I cannot think of u's without the third year trio. I know I will miss this anime when it's over. But I think it will be even harder for me to see the anime without the current third years. :( I hope they end this season without Love Live! so that we can hope to see a third season where the 9 of them battling it out with other contenders in the actual contest. :) |

| Maki looks great. That was a weird way to say that they won the preliminary... I like that unit ;) I loved the bgm when Honoka was running through the school. I really would of liked to see A-Rise's performance. It would be really cool if they did an Ova of it then put a poll online to see which group won :D I never knew Mochi was made from rice >.> Lol I don't they never mentioned that in Tamako Market, well I guess that would be common knowledge in Japan. I guess you learn new things every day :p Were the heck Eli's sister come from? The drawing of Muse was cute http://imgur.com/x2cGopT Ah there it is, TITLE DROP! |
| meh.. I was pretty sure they were gonna say "moe" Let's face it, a group with more members is always going to have an advantage over the fewer members and of course the "down-to-earth" charm that Muse has. It's the same reason why SNSD and AKB48 are the top idol group in Korea and Japan respectively. Maki is really pretty with her yukata and Nico looks far better with miko outfit and her hair down. The highlight though as always is Nozomi's boobs. The Nozomi boobs bounce in the preview makes it even better and a guarantee that next episode will be just as good. |
 |
| I'm gonna take a guess at A-Rise lost because they used the same song. Very disappointed >:( |

| What an underwhelming win against A-RISE. |
  |
| I know that they had to win this season, but I am sad for A-RISE and they didn't show their song, I was looking forward to it since "Shocking Party" was so cool, best song ever in the whole show! |
 |
| MakixNico moment!!! Japanese duo xD I want more!! The power of 9... μ's I'll looking forward for them to become a winner!! :) |
"Signature removed"   |
| An episode about them discovering why they are together and fighting to win Love Live. |

BurntJelly said: What an underwhelming win against A-RISE. My thoughts exactly. This whole time they were talking about how big of a thing A-RISE is and making the audience nervous whether Muse can win against them or not... And then the victory was shown off-screen? Sooooo lame. I liked the episode but that solution was probably the worst. D: bittersweetlove said: I know that they had to win this season, but I am sad for A-RISE and they didn't show their song, I was looking forward to it since "Shocking Party" was so cool, best song ever in the whole show! Me toooo! Muse has been making these calm, light songs so I was really happy to see one song with a bit more attitude and power and I was so looking forward to seeing A-RISE's performance... |
| ^________^ |
| My mind was blown when I found out their catchphrase. It was right under that title all along! |
| So they won because their fans could identify themselves with them, live through their success and feel like they are growing stronger together. That's good enough reason why they defeated A-Rise and why they should go to Love Live. In a way, μ`s is metaphor of everyone's fulfilled dreams. I like this episode because they managed to take different approch with showing their winning in different way - it was something that S1 was doing all the time with their everyday situations and I am glad they still have such good writes. With only 3 episodes left I wonder if they actually animate whole Love Live (with all its groups) this time or if they leave it for another season or movie. |
