Lol, silly dog.

Amusing episode, they really featured that dog this time around. Nice to also see some focus on Riko this episode as I think that dogs likes her. Not much idol performance this episode as it has more of a relaxed feel for the episode. I'm okay with it since the episode had its humor with the poses and dialogues.

Great episode again, I'm surprised I understood it so well without the subs. I got them skills. XD

Yoshiko at the beginning with the whole something is seeking me and umbrella was hilarious. xD
Riko trying to pet Shiitake at the beginning was cute.

Mari with the fake glasses and the fake eyes was glorious, I have really got to get me one of those sleep masks. XD
Yoshiko setting Relapse/Nocturne on Riko was absolute gold, that made me laugh so much.

Riko taking care of Relapse/Nocturne at home was so adorable. <3

Interesting that they're showing Kanan trying to think about what the theme of next song should be, especially since she says she wants it to be more than just 'to Shine'. Is this a hint towards a possible Happy Party Train in the future?

Hanamaru gets full points for her Yoshiko impression. XD

I loved the part where Yoshiko opened upto Riko about how even though she knows that Fallen Angels probably don't exist, she still wants to believe there is some kind of mysterious power out there because of things that have happened, there's always something pulling her towards something. That conversation was really beautiful. <3
I actually wanted to make some kind of joke about Yoshiko's 'luck' but after that I simply couldn't. XD

Riko was finally able to touch Shiitake. :)
Does this mean no more Riko X Shiitake memes? That's kinda sad. XDD

Perhaps there are no coincidences in the world, perhaps there is meaning to everything. Nice overall theme to the episode and I really loved how they decided to bring that out using Yoshiko's Chuuni trait.

Wow! That Double shot in the ED. <3
That's Rikyako and Aikyan singing the ED in duet right? Goddamn, I almost couldn't recognize Rikyako's voice at all, either she's gotten much better or I just didn't know her voice as well as I thought I did. XD

Riko episode <33 ..and chuni girl.
Looks like they finally got tired of dealing with Yohane lol; leaving her during that storm was kind of sad tho.

Riko is finally getting used to dogs; it's too bad that it had an owner, the moments between them were cute.

After this episode I'm silghtly re-evaluating Yoshiko, the chuni side is annoying when overused; but the very brief explaination about why she acts like that helped a bit in understanding her character.
Actually liked the interactions between the two girls. Especially near the end, under the rain and when best girl Riko cheered her up.

I'm not a big fan of either Yohane or Riko but this was a nice episode. Got to see some character development happening, and its nice that they have different year levels have a heart to heart together. Though I feel like they chose YohaRiko for fanservice. Finally the beauty of Rikyako's art was shown to an even broader audience, now everyone can bathe in fabulous derpy dog drawings.

Overall, the bestest best thing ever in this episode was the datenshi impression by Maru.

I laugh hard at Riko-chan's drawing. Rikyako and Aikyan's voice in the ending theme blends so well. They can become a great duo (without Ainya).

Was anyone else reminded of Haruhi?

Aside from the repeated animation when Riko was talking with Yoshiko, this episode was pretty great. Of particular note was the brilliant soundtrack and the feeling that destiny is in the works because I relate to that.

>character development for both yoshiko and riko
>new saint snow song
>3rd years graduating (of course)

liked how the character development was done and the theme of the episode. though of course, they had to go with the graduation route for the third years.

but most importantly, the episode was (partly) centered around a dog - how can you not like it?

edit: also, the way yoshiko says 'destiny' reminds me of a certain song

Riko managed to get through her phobia of dogs and finally she loves dogs, and after a season and 5 episodes she finally managed to stroke Shiitake. Haha.

Riko: "Yoshine-chan!"
Yoshiko: "Yoshiko!"

Pfffffft.

Yoshiko and Riko focused episode was pretty nice honestly, and just the interactions were just adorbs.

To be honest so far Sunshine is really stepping up their game even further with their characters, and standing on their own compared to the original series. Which I like, mind you.

Another fun episode.

Riko & Yohane hanging out was fun.
Cool that Riko is getting use to being around dogs & was able to pat Shiitake in the end.

LOL Mari & those glasses.

Even if not many people liked this episode, it's definitely one of my favorites, I love how these girls are interacting with one another outside of their own grade groups. Loved Riko and Yoshiko parts this episode very beautiful, also love that bit Riko said about how every encounter has a meaning and none are meaningless. I'll definitely take that to heart.

Really sweet episode. Yohane and Riko spending time together. It was fun to see Yohane go full savage on Riko and make Laelaps chase her xD.

And then Riko's way of opening the door to the cage xD.
Mari's fake eyes return again lol. But best was her sleeping, so adorable.


Overall it was a fun episode, and great to see Riko finally petting Shiitake. Chika as always being pretty when she blushes. :)

Interlocutor in the narrative this episode, but did not fail the thing that marked all the episodes of this series, namely the growth of interpersonal relationships between the various characters. Interestingly, they have combined this need to further characterize the characters of Riko and Yoshiko, with the comedy. Too fun Mari and his shortcuts not to be discovered while he is asleep.

Mizuki Nana (水樹奈々)? Have to say I had to look into credits during ED again to look her up. Haven't seen Nanoha, Minami-Ke, Symphogear or Precure just yet and I'm not fan of Naruto so her voice went kinda under the radar for me.
(btw - she is listed as VA in first Sunshine too, in eps 5, 8 and 10)

this too is my favorite episode so far.

yohane and riko connecting was new to see and was surprisingly enjoyable. yohane's chuuni antics are always fun to watch, and it was nice to see a little bit of an insight on the whole 'fallen angel' thing again.

Finally a good episode. I find myself laughing at the jokes for the first time this season, the only thing that bothered me were the repetitions (Riko petting Chika's dog at the beginning and then later when she's with Yohane and NOCTURNE [gotta side with Riko on this one - pretty badass name]). Also, we need more Saint Snow.

Refreshing Episode about Riko and Yoshiko, if only Mari is here too for Guilty Kiss Trio moment but It's good nonetheless... And Finally Riko overcomes her fear of Dogs.

I actually laughed so hard with the perfect sync of Riko and Yoshiko after They lost the Dog, I thought It's something to do to minimalize the use of budgets but It's actually intended... lol

This is honestly my favorite episode in this season so far. Probably because Yohane is my favorite Love Live girl, but I also loved the last 10 minutes and it was nice seeing Riko and Yoshiko get a lot of moments together since we didn't see them interact a lot.

Apparently, Anko is based on a real dog formerly owned by one of the animators, which passed away in March. So sad ;(
