Not_Important said: Maruko-san said: I can't believe a lot of people hate this episode. Because they think the characters are annoying. People hate Hanamaru because of her constant zura, Mari engrish, Ruby trying to be cute all the time, and Yoshiko's for her chunni antics., Chika for being shiny this and shiny that the whole time. People are complaining because the girls are barely have any other personality that is normal?? Oh please this is a fucking anime, not real life. Yet you guys didn't complain about Nico being annoying with her Nico Nico nii, Rin's nyaa, Maki imi wakanai, etc. Did you even read episode 1 discussions or followed the original Love Live forums? There were a shit tonne of people there complaining about some characters, specially Nico. EVERYONE hated Nico. The problem with Sunshine Season 2 is that they're OVERUSING the character quirks. It's like someone at Sunrise went like "Hey, we've already stabilished the characters and their quirks in the first season so now let's turn everything up to eleven and shove it on the face of the viewers, I bet they'll like it." Turns out not everyone liked it, and now they're expressing their feelings about it. Even though you make great points, I heavily disagree with you. Let me explain, Even though you say they're rehashing character quirks, they're giving us more about the characters in order for us to make them feel more real, the whole point of this episode is to give the characters more layers and stuff to learn about the character for us to understand, like how hanamaru is heavily religious and interested with , how we now that kanan, even though she acts tough and mature, she still has a more immature, scaredy cat personality as well. |
| hi |
| Nice episode, best one so far for me! Nice interaction between the girls and more screen time for the other girls. And nice placement in the hot spring, Hanamaru-chan lol. |
 |
| my heart almost exploded when Kanan was afraid of the dark <3 so cute I still haven't decided who the best girl is, at this point its like a five-way tie |
| Yoshiko isn't a metalhead? Wtf what a fake goth, she should've loved Mari's song. Also, loving all the Mari scenes as usual, nice to see her house even if it was only for a little bit, plus interactions with first years. |
 |
| Did Chika's voice get higher... anyway, once again, watching the girls mess around while getting absolutely nothing done, and watching them actually attempt to get something done, are both entertaining as hell. They're all idiots in their own unique way. And on that note, nothing brings people together better than fear of the unknown, being stranded in some strange building together, and being in just an overall bad situation where they are forced to work together to survive... or stop a leaky roof I guess. |
A Wild and Small Otaku has Appeared! |
| For real the 1st and 3rd years were pretty reserved imo so it was great to see them interact. - Yoshiko armpits, like they really make them all detailed :) Mari's so adorable when she's smug, that little mini game they had was priceless, the ball rebounds and hits Ruby lol Not much of the 2nd years but I don't mind, I'm glad HanaYoshi and MariKanan got a bit of focus. |
 |
| Best things this episode 1.Mari Statue 2.Kanan Airplane 3."Ah! It's an elephant!" 4.Nothingness 5."LET'S HEADBANG!" 6.Cat 7.Dia necktie 8.Oh Yoshiko's in this episode, cool... 9.Ruby is out of filler character status 10.Kanan Screentime Honorable Mention: Riko in general. |
| I absolutely loved this episode, my god. An episode we needed and we got. While it is unfortunate to not see much of the 2nd years. this was a really good episode. It breaks my heart to see a lot of people hate the Aqours girls, and not give any of them a chance. Guys stop holding onto u's, they're never going to come back. |

| Same used concept...most of the episode, no one has achieved anything...until the last part... 3/5. |
 |
| I really enojoy the episode basically because we have character devolpment, basic problem that has to be solved. I want to hear the song that is suposed to born form this episode. |
| YAY! More screen time for the 3rd years! I'm so happy! A lot of interactions between Kanan and Mari, I'm in love... The scene with Kanan cuddling the kitty killed me, she's my favorite girl and I love seing her being so nice with animals! I liked this episode a lot more than the previous one, but that may be biased because the 3rd years are best girls :P But I'm a little bit disappointed with Yohane this season so far. Her chuunibyou side is slightly getting on my nerves, last season it was very funny and refreshing but it's a little bit to much now for me, she doesn't seem to get a lot of character development besides comic reliefs. Plus she don't like metal! Why??? She's part of Guilty Kiss! Now I really want the 3rd years to sing a metal song :( Same for Hanamaru, zura overload! On the other side, I really liked Ruby in this episode, she seemed mature :) She may not be my least favorite girl anymore, but I'm gonna wait the end of the season to be sure. |

It breaks my heart to see a lot of people hate the Aqours girls, and not give any of them a chance. Guys stop holding onto u's, they're never going to come back. They never asked them to come back. And they are not even holding onto Muse. They just said they want something "different" from the school saving drama and less character quirks because they are being "overused" which is quite true. Now I'm not really an Aqours hater, I do love Aqours (I love Chika You and Dia to death), but it's getting annoying at how Yoshiko's only purpose is to be Yohane (I don't hate her at all). Ruby is moe as hell (I don't hate her) and it's annoying. Maru has her Zura overload (I don't hate her either) and it's FRUSTRATING that it's their ONLY purpose left. Riko is boring, her funny moments are not even funny, Mari's Engrish is SO annoying! Thank goodness she isn't dead last in my list, the last is Riko otherwise. Kanan acts cool always and the only other character trait that she has is that she is a scaredy cat. Chika being SHINYYYYYY instead of Mari is a bummer. Riko, You, and Chika are the ONLY girls who have a purpose in Aqours. Riko being composer, You being the designer, Chika being the lyricist. That's about it. -My Review For This Episode- I loved this episode, 4/5 because of the overused catchphrases or it could have been a masterpiece. That being said, I'm loving the new OP far better than Aozora Jumping Heart (my ears painl whenever I hear it). But I'm still not open to the ending, I liked the previous one better :/ I don't see what everyone has against the school saving drama, if you want my opinion, I think they're doing a better job with it way better than u's ever did, because to be completely honest with you, I think the original Love Live completely threw away the "Saving the school storyline" right after their performance of 'No Brand Girls' and Honoka's collapse in the school's open house, I mean at the very next episode we're literally told, hey we can't participate in Love Live, BUT WE SAVED THE SCHOOL YAY! It was never bought up ever again, they were saved, but we didn't see how, we're literally left to assume that the concert was so much of a huge success that it was enough to save the school, even though there were barely any guests in the live itself. At the very least, Sunshine is actually sticking to it this time, unlike in u's where they were literally given back their school magically, because apparently all it takes is a live concert, and their leader collapsing due to overwork. This time in Sunshine, I like to think the school saving drama makes sense, and I appreciate the fact that it's much harder for them to save it this time, since they literally go to an all girls school in a sparsely populated area! It isn't easy, and it was never going to be easy. They have to get 100 applicants by the end of the year, which is near impossible, realistically, given where they live, and the fact that it's an all girls school. Maybe it's just me, but I saw their interactions as nothing more than just "plain old fun" nothing more, nothing less. And yes, while it is true, that it does seem like they are going a bit overboard in some parts of their "quirks" I don't let it detract myself from my enjoyment. Plus, we're only two episodes into the Second Season, and not all the girls are fully developed yet individually. I mean it was the same for u's as well, since, for example, it wasn't until Rin's episode in Season 2, that Rin evolved into a more dynamic character, since in Season 1 all she literally did to stand out was say "Nya" all the time. Plus, I just got back from the Aqours Happy Party Train Tour Live Viewing, so I'm definitely a bit biased. :P |

| Mari is metal. She wants Aquors to do a cover of Radio Werewolf by Babylon Whores. |
| Fun episode. The girls are working hard towards their goal. |

| sitting on a roof by self at like 7am "what are you doing" "shining" hhhwwhat What (thanks kanan for saving me with the cuteness) |
MrBluebear said: Yes..I want the change of the plot story. Different story not only "saved the school" plot. Now I remember that this topic I had discussed in the early of LL Sunshine announcement before 1st season start. Ths is just MONEY issue why they create Sunshine & Aqours. I really love both muse and aqours, but I want something more about aqours story. but we cannot assume, its just 2 eps aired. Maybe this "saved the school" plot is just minor story instead they will having bigger issue after this. Let's just we wait until when some muse member make appearance in this season and the NEW RIVAL of Aqours comes..... From the way Sunrise is shaping the plot of Season 2 and actually carrying out the concept of saving the school rather than just magically giving it back to the idols, "save the school" will be the main plot of this season. It's important to note that no one has even mentioned graduation as of yet, so unlike School idol project's second season, it probably won't be a huge factor this time, if it's even featured at all. µ's is never coming back. Guys, seriously. At the very most, we'd probably get a cameo of an aged-up Honoka, but the idol group is gone, and they won't return. "NEW RIVAL of Aqours" = Saint Snow? o.O Where are my gymnast rock idols. |

So I understand that fact that graduation isn't relevant to the plot. I've heard the same, and even with Sunshine's first "formulaic" season, you can tell how the writers are taking pains to shape Aqours much differently than µ's. Also, in School idol project, µ's had already saved the school by the beginning of the second season, so it makes sense that they reverted to graduation as the new main plot; however, this isn't the case in Sunshine so I can't imagine graduation taking away the focus from finding 100 new students for Uranohoshi. |

| Best thing: third years, Dia actually becoming a real loveable character. Worst thing: what did they do with the always shy Riko? When did she start randomly gao-ing? Also, the amount of fanservice in here. Kanan x Mari approved. But what happened to my You x Chika ship as it is slowly turning into Riko x Chika? ._. Also, where is the actual catchy OP? Can't wait till we actually get a fun song inserted. :) I just hope this second season will get better, cause it can't get much worse than this. Even the game is more likeable at the moment. |

Mikaru7 said: I hope you don't mind but I would rather see You and Chika as friends, I mean, I agree that they are extremely cute together but even if I don't care about Riko, I still don't want to see You's friendship with Chika ruined and become something more.. I'm not a Chika x Riko fan in any way, I detest it because Chika hardly gives any love or attention to You and the relationship seems a bit forced (two strangers becoming lovey dovey..) I always loved Dia though, I like Kanan and I don't care about Mari all that much. I haven't played the game, but I heard stuff that it's side-stories are waaaay better than the anime itself. Why would I mind, it's only anime! :v Yes, I agree, You and Chika are great fans, but it's just that Riko has a sudden personality turn. We all know there isn't going to be a real relationship in here. I didn't really like Dia in the first season, but the non-series side stories made her more human and more likeable, which is also seen here, finally, in the second season. Game side-stories are definitely more fun, also cute, and definitely better than the second episode. ._. |

| Interestingly, they have made it so fun to narrate and carry at the same time the characterization of characters, as far as their interpersonal relationships are concerned. Extremely funny the episode, but not useless with regard to the plot, I'm very happy. |
 |
| I like that they're coming together but omg I just don't like the youngest trio. I think my two favorites are Riko and Mari. |
 Three things cannot be long hidden.. ...the s u n, the m oo n, and the tr u th. |
More like awful taste, zura. I had no idea Mari was a mosh monster, however! I'm beginning to like her more and more this season. |
 |
| Mari's place is only good for slaking off lol |
| When love live ends and you have no choice but to rewatch. Wow, okay I can kinda hear My Mai tonight in the rain sound xd |
| damn can i live in mari's place pls? |
| That ball game was hilarious. It rebounded and hit ruby. XD Overall, a good episode. |
 |
| I found this episode kinda odd/strange. 6 girls in a budist temple, Chika sitting at the rooftop at 7 am "shining", the bath scene... entertaining, but odd. Loved how they all were simply eating and watching tv at Mari's. I think I simply don't like Chika at all. |
 |
| Mari's extravagant crib and unorthodox tastes in music makes her all the more ideal ♡ They all had a fun yet unproductive day but the payoff of their attempts to understand each other more came from quite an unexpected source. I legit got chills when they started hearing the beautiful tune of what will soon be called My Mai Tonight from the raindrops. Shine on, Chikacchi, shine on! |

| Its funny how i still referencing this at Muses separated training camp to created another songs. Its suck. But, yeah, its really give me a nostalgic vibes that never caught off my guard really easily. So, with the second chance they got, a 100 quotes, could they made it? At least they still held the same feeling together, to moved forward to surpass the challenge in front of them. Its all they could do after so much hit they recently had. Only that. What the girls had, there? A new experience to worked in a separating positions. Third class joined the first class gangs to helped Chika and Riko composed a new song. The hype was real. They had a funny moments. Zuramaru, Yohane 'the fallen' angel, and Ruby-chan armpits were never lost at my fully attention. Especially with the aggresive movement that Yoshiko had at the entire duration, its really a nice fanservices at my own satisfaction. Lol. Ah, the moment of silent at the shrine. Its gave me another memorable silency for their struggle. Kanan's fears with the unknown sounds were so cute anyway. While in the backgrounds Ruby and Dia hanged in together just so relaxing to be watched. In the mean time, by the long silent they had, they somehow found the moment, a nice inspirations, that took the first lead, finally. Thanks by the sudden sounds of rains that appeared in front of them, they finally finished the disputes surround them and united all differences between all of their different tastes and thoughts. Yeah, a solid episode to gave them a preparation to created another dream into reality, to created a chance into a succession, to created the miracles into their shines! |

| Those overused catchphrases are getting tiresome but otherwise it was a better episode than the first one. Great character interactions and the overall atmosphere was very nice and relaxing. |
 |
| This is honestly probably the worst episode of the series and is a great example of why Aquors are such a horrible group. They turn their character traits up to 11 and in this episode in particular they were too incompetent and lazy for me to feel like them finally coming up with a song was actually earned. They just fucked about getting distracted like 6 year olds for most of the episodes and they get rewarded for it. |
| We need as much lewdness as we can possibly get. ~ Komine Sachi |
| Nice little episode!~ For all its drama, I also have to say Love Live shines (hee) with its comedy too. It was great seeing the girls accept their differences at the end. I always like those kind of themes. Y'know, the one where two (or more) people are so different from each other, but they're still friends and love and care about each other!~ |
| Really enjoyed this episode, seeing the differences between the first and third years was fun The one scene with all the close ups of their faces was so awkward though lmao I hate when animes do that |
