I mean, just this one line doesn't turn the show into yuri-shoujo ai kinda show. Yes, "daisuki" is more of an "I like you a lot" than "aishiteru" but its usually interpreted as "I love you" more often than not. I'm sure that they meant it in the "I like you" way, and the translation meant "I love you" in a more platonic way. It still caught me off guard because I rarely see a girl say "daisuki" to another girl in a non-GL work. It would be nice if it was meant in an "I love you" way, but knowing this series and it's target demographic it wouldn't happen in a million years. |
Mich666 said: It was nice I guess. Everyone is finally together and those slice-of-life moments are precisely what this anime needs to develop its characters. There were still some weird funny moments but all-in-all it's getting better slowly. I'm already seeing Riko having her piano competition and everyone attending that event. And anyone can see the twist that they won't apply for Love Live in the end and try to go their own way of school idols instead, getting famous in different way? I mean, they are not training enough, have no song, they are in no shape to win and they still have to beat those zero points.. then why to even bother with Love Live at all when they can sing just to be happy? Also... they hint some great friendship between two of them in the end and majority of people here is talking about yuri relationship... you disgust me again, MAL. Bro I totally agree with you about the friendship thing. Girls irl also say I love you to each other and don't mean it romantically. But oh well dem Yuri-goggles ayyy. |
shoujogod said: Who here honestly wanted to hear Dia's history lesson of A-RISE's creation? Once I saw Mari's meta-anime eyes, it was all over...desu wa,~chikariko is more canon than ever~ I loved Dia in this episode, we really got to see a new side of her. A precious dork who must be protected at all costs. She's so passionate and excited about idols, it brings a much happier atmosphere than before she joined! |

| I loved this episode so much, now Dia can shine as how she truly is, and I love her so much. Ughh before my fav was Hanamaru but now I like them all and can't pick one ; ; You is seriously multifunctional, she can do almost everything, she should learn to write songs too xD |

Have you read somewhere (mango or any other source) about them not doing LoveLive or you just hypothesize? Coz I can hypothesize just fine, dem girls turn into maho-shoujo and defend teh world against witches or smth. Also, let'em yuri talks be, we barely get any yuri shows throughout the years, no wonder ppl are hungry for that. As for me, I'm OK with both variants be it full-blown yuri or not. |
| That shark sleeping bag got the shark song from Amaama to Inazuma stuck in my head again. |
| Lmao I love Yohanne's shark themed sleeping bag. It's nice to see a light-hearted episode after all this drama even though this had some in it. |
 |
| that was a pretty funny episode, especially with yoshiko and mari and their special dishes lol |
 |
| Dia suddenly got into "I-love-Ruby" mode when she was all serious and mature around her sincel ast episode. I'm okay with it tho, it's cute Dia x Mari for the idiot combo, I ship them hard-- and here I thought Dia would go all "WTH ARE U SAYING" Here it comes, You can cook. She can do anything man Mari, I love her face when is making that stew, and her engrishu Dia adapts fast lmao Mary/Yohane, all my yes. These girls are getting along rlly fine! a little too fine, but still great Chika actually looks pretty damn good without any pin or stuff on her hair I think Dia rose quite a bit in my ranking list this episode Mary with those shojo eyes lmao, I love these two together That song was beautiful. I really liked this episode, the drama in it was really nice, too. |
 |
| The things I'd do to try Mari's 100,000 stew XD I'm also fine with Yohane's spicy meatballs too... God I'm hungry now... |
HESTIA   APPROVES |
| Nothing could be gayer than MariKanan thought me until Riko just didn't say that "I love you". That's definitely my main ship from now on :D And Dia is much more interesting character than I thought in the beggining, I really like Kurosawa sisters, they are so cute. ^^ |
| Nah, Kanamari is still the gayest ship. It's show, don't tell |
 [/url]Seven-Coloured Puppeteer. |
| The yuri is real! Great job, sunrise... |
"Fortress Maximus has come himself. Okay! Then I shall get Fortress Maximus to fight me, huh huh huh!" |
| lol just playing the confession straight . First ep we've had with all 9 of them and it is as lively as ever. not so sure we had as much yuri with muse lol |

Oceeenn said: - DIA IS THE BEST - That sisterly comedy act - Bikini time! - Kanan <3 - New hairstyle. Riko is very beautiful with that hair - Mari washi-washi :3 - THAT RIKO KOKUHAKU !!! - RIKO X CHIKA - RIP You x Chika My words +1 Kanan and Mari sleep together so cute. |
 |
| Oooh this episode made my heart hurt. Just like the episode before it. And the episode before that. Okay admittedly it wasn't AS amazing as the last few episodes but they could have easily just done a full comedy episode with anything to advance the story or the character's relationships. Looks like next episode's gonna be pretty intense too from the preview. The drama always has a really good payoff though. It's like getting punched really hard in the gut and then realising you won the lottery. Loving the chemistry that Aqours has. It's a shame we only get to see 3 more episodes of this before the inevitable 2nd season. Also, THE YURI!!!! OH MY GOD THEY DID IT SUNRISE YOU DID IT I LOVE YOU SUNRISE! dakkomakura said: So in the west a kid's show like Steven Universe is allowed to show same sex couples but fully grown adults in Japan can't handle it?It would be nice if it was meant in an "I love you" way, but knowing this series and it's target demographic it wouldn't happen in a million years. Wow, the otaku are a bunch of homophobic babies. No wonder Yuri Kuma sold like shit. |

| Guys, I can quiet say, that Sunshine in several levels better is than his/her 2 prequel series. Because for me was the 1st season very rushed: in few eps was the 9 μ's-girls gathered, where the plot with suffered had - But at Sunshine did they finally the time taken it to slow to develop. And the characters are better designed than the from μ's (you've this time more choices), and even their personalities are better written - Where till now in a good way developed have. Edit: I didn't thought till at end of ep. 9 that this moment at Riko and Chika coming would - Me was almost literally the breath taken...xD Edit2: I'd bet that Sunrise not in a season let would, I'm sure that we at least still a additional season get will from the Aqours-girls...^_^ |

| Riko having a hard choice between piano and idol :( More sol goodness :)  |
 |
| Dia omg XD Yoshiko and Mari cooking lol Beautiful piano song That confession yay |
One must never question oppai. Speaking of Mari, those fake eyes xD Mari such a teaser/ I like Yohane straight up used Tabasco sauce, poor Ruby. Kanan's comment towards the price of Mari's dish lol. One reason I avoid elegant restaurants. Gotta love Dia's enthusiasm, she makes the group much more lively. And that ending. Chika loves Riko. Shipping confirmed. RiKa or ChiKo, whichever you prefer. |

I mean, just this one line doesn't turn the show into yuri-shoujo ai kinda show. Damn this show is as much entertaining as the original LoveLive series, and I have heard ppl saying it's a copy-paste of 1st series. Those ignorant fools... Yes, I totally agree with you! I've also heard a lot of people ignoring and dropping this anime because it's just a REHASH of the 1st Love Live series. They should've tried watching instead of initially judging it. Coz I myself also thought at first of not watching this because of that reason but when I watched it... it was totally worth it and I can say that it somehow has difference from the 1st one. :) |

Wow, the otaku are a bunch of homophobic babies. No wonder Yuri Kuma sold like shit. It's nothing to do with being homophobic. Love Live is a 2.5D idol franchise which is all about generating support for your favorite idol. The rules that apply to Japanese idols in general (ie the 'no relationships' rule) apply here as well. HOWEVER, due to the popularity of such pairings such as Maki and Nico, I'm wondering if Sunshine is actually going to make an actual canon pairing. That would be a very brave move! |
 |
| Well, not to disappoint everyone here but "Daisuki da yo" Riko says in the end doesn't meant "I love you" in that context. It's "I love it." Japanese drops subject all very too often and it can be misleading at times. Meaning Riko is actually replying to Chika's previous question, saying She really loves playing a piano. So people here are actually ecstatic over bad translation. |

scruffykiwi said: The no relationship stuff is probably equally as messed up though. Plus I don't see how that applies to something like Love Live where there isn't some gross pervy old man 'protecting their purity' and keeping an eye on their every movie.It's nothing to do with being homophobic.

Even so that aint gonna stop people getting ecstatic, nothing wrong getting excited even though it's obvious in episode 11 it will all be back to normal life + dreams crushed lolWell, not to disappoint everyone here but "Daisuki da yo" Riko says in the end doesn't meant "I love you" in that context.

SeibaaHomu said: I Wouldn't say the general otaku are homophobic babies and using Yuri Kuma as reasoning isn't the best idea because if you remember Yuru Yuri has even managed to get 3 seasons and a few ova, that's good in my book.

Wow, the otaku are a bunch of homophobic babies. No wonder Yuri Kuma sold like shit. Still, I doubt Sunrise would take the next step and make a fully canon relationship, but who knows! I'd love it as long as they don't lose focus on the whole group of girls. |

| Huge Riko fan so this episode was great. |
| Ruby is doing her rubesty. |
| Chika & Riko yuri levels reaching to the max! And Kanan is the sexiest girl in Aquors! 5/5. |
 |
| Hanamaru and Riko was supposed to be my best girl, than Dia came in and changed that, than Yohane became best girl, than Chika became best girl... FUCK IT EVERYONE IS BEST GIRL TT^TT |
 |
| ok a few things this episode pissed me off(still love it tho) -what the hell are Niceoodles? (swore to god she said yakisoba) -Dia's personality change. Dont get me wrong but I think she should have eased into it instead of doing a 180 between episodes |

AzukiG said: The fact that Yuru Yuri (A dumb comedy series where the relationships aren't taken seriously and the girls might as well not even be lesbians) is the only successful yuri series in recent years shows EXACTLY what the problem is.if you remember Yuru Yuri has even managed to get 3 seasons and a few ova, that's good in my book. It might not be straight up yuri but it is heavily implied. So yeah, you literally just proved my point. |

No, you're incorrect, Riko was clearly talking about Chika, the subject was specified in the previous sentence "I love you" was immediately preceded by "you're a wierd person". "You're a wierd person. I love you." It'd be incredibly wierd if she meant to say "You're a wierd person. I love playing the piano." |

It's important to listen to what Chika was asking her before: But didn't you care about piano just as much? I think you need to answer that question for yourself first. (if you listen to japanese you can hear her saying literally the same thing) Honto, Hen na hito is just her way of giving up and admit Chika-chan was right. Notice how Riko nods afterwards. Really, it makes a lot more sense for Riko to acknowledge that both piano and being school idol is important to her, in fact, it was the main plot of this episode. Yes, she likes her a lot (as a friend who understands her well) and I'm not denying that (I also don't deny that Sunrise made them hold hands as fanservice, sort of) but dunno why would she say she loved her in such situation, it would feel pretty out of place. I really don't know why people are so eager to prove something that really isn't there. |

She didn't use the word suki (like) she used taisetsu (important). It just makes less sense to me that Riko would just answer it in such an inexplicit way, that would feel a lot more out of place for me, and I also believe that the question isn't meant to be answered to Chika, Riko should answer the question to herself. And I don't really care much for yuri shipping, just stating my opinion on the matter. |

Even between couples, daisuki seems to be more common. Aishiteru is something you'd say to someone on their death bed or between people who consider themselves soulmates lol 'tis hardly used by anyone, but when the exception is made, you'd best have your tissues ready: |

| omfg did they just go full gay I mean I fall for yuribait every time but maybe just this once its legit........ Denmark-Chan said: maybe? either way a weird translation thing that irritated me a bit more than it should have she definitely said yokisoba because they had it written on their signs. And i guess you can translate yoki as goodness or niceness... hence the "niceoodles". I agree its a really awkward attempt at translation though :/ |
 |
| That gay line at the end tho. Are they going full with it? |
  yet another great episode and a beautiful picture of dia and mari |

| Unexpected episode tbh. i enjoyed it more than the previous episode and i'm starting to like this anime more and more. and it's a fun episode episode too. another character development between Chika and Riko assume. and for the next episode, my fav character will be getting the main spotlight i guess xD for the overall character development in this episode, tbh, i think it was good and i like it a lot. nothing cliche/generic about it in my "perspective". looking foward to the next episode. |
 |
| -How did Ruby get promoted to standing at the front of the summer camp debriefing thing -I hope they don't pull a Kotori with Riko, but this looks like it's going down that direction with the fake smile -Maru best, showing up at the appointed time -Did I wander into the wrong show again -Let's cooking -Whatever Mari made looks like a portal to an alternate dimension -Holy fuck night clothes Maru looks goddamn adorable -Once again I think I wandered into the wrong show -Chika looks weird with her hair down for some reason -Oh, that Riko email deletion scene was pleasantly unexpected, and I'd really love if they went through with it. -The scene with Shima and Rikomom made me a bit apprehesive though -Was Yoshiko sleeping in the shark hammock -Please no please no please no please no -Alright this seems not to be going in the direction I was expecting, which is awesome -Is Maru dressed as a seaweed -Oh no please no please no please no -derricious -Jesus fucking Christ Mari's fake eyes are fucking terrifying -Oh, I thought that song that Riko was looking at was the performance piece for the piano recital, and I've been interpreting things wrong the whole time -nonononononononononononononononononononono no -Alright, I kinda take back all of the nos since Chika's reasoning actually made tons of sense considering how she and Riko met. All this time, I just kinda assumed that was just something to recruit Riko and that they would never actually address it again, so that came as a pleasant surprise. -Now I'm anticipating them going through with the whole piano recital thing rather than scrapping it, but that probably won't happen. I just hope the reasoning makes more sense than the Kotori thing Pretty standard beach episode, but I think it gets a pass because Aqours's whole theme is water and because it turned into a cooking show halfway through. I wrote it a few times while watching the episode, but the whole Riko character seems to be an analog to the Kotori character arc from the first season of the original series. I was kind of skeptical of the Riko version at first because it raised a ton of red flags that the Kotori version set (it came out of pretty much nowhere, Kotori didn't tell anyone for some reason, and it got resolved with that awful airport scene). However, I liked the Riko version a lot more by the end of the episode since when Riko joined the group back at the beginning of the season, it was to overcome a musical mental block related to piano playing and composition. It's actually pretty heartwarming that Chika remembers why Riko joined and didn't go back on her promise when Riko joined. That's assuming that they opt out of the Love Live in favor of Riko's recital but that's probably not gonna happen. Who knows, maybe I'll also be surprised by the resolution of this character arc. Next episode being a You episode is kind of weird, though, and it has me thinking. |
 |
| Dia looks cuter and younger when wearing the sleeveless summer uniform. ^^ And I thought it's blood coming out of Yoshiko's takoyaki. xD Overall a fun episode. |
