| Nice episode. Hokkaido looks great covered in Snow. LOL Hanamaru wearing so many layers of clothes. Poor Saint Snow. Sad they didn't make it to the next round. Nice of Ruby to cheer up Leah. |

| I dunno, I didn't like this episode much. Sure, the story behind Saints Snow failure was interesting but also kinda generic and forced (not to mention I was hype up to see their performance again and they didn't even animate it). Right, this applies to μ`s too but doing this several times in a row just feels pretty stale. They are seeing the end of the school as the end of their life which is kinda dumb and shortsighted approach to their lives. Shouldn't they emphasize that friendship is worth more than this? Surely they would be able to sing together even after that, right? (times like these I can actually appreciate shows like Wake Up, Girls that maybe aren't perfect but deals with those things a lot better). Heck, I would actually liked if this was the hint to the fact that Aqours continue singing even after the school and Love Live ends... Cause Love Live isn't really everything there is in the world, right? But if this isn't the true in the end then this episode actually served no story purpose. And I'm not mentioning the fact that they entered their inn by pure chance... surely that wouldn't happen if not forced by the plot. Also, Ruby was playing Cpt. Obvious in the end, not really telling her anything new rather then empty naive phrases (in the light of this it really shows how immature and dumb she is for her age compared to other girls..) But Ruby actually isn't anything more outside of her archetype of 'cute little thingie' so why do I even care, hm? Other than that, Hanamaru's gluttony is getting her annoying more and more, it just always feels like comedy element inserted where it shouldn't be. All-in-all, not a best episode, actually one of the worst in this series. Maybe that's just me because I still can't see any worth in Ruby 'archetypical' character - she never overcome her shadow unline other characters. But I also think that if they wanted emphasize failure here, they would do a lot better job if they let them fail some minor event instead, that would serve better as warning for them (and for viewers too) and it would also keep things more personal. The was it was with Saint Snow this episode, it just felt as an afterthought. |
Ah, probably misheard things I was watching while sleepy late night xD |
| Leah: Tell me about Chika! Why does she wear the mask? Chika: Perhaps she's wondering why someone would shoot an idol before making them lose Love Live! Leah: At least you can sing, what's your name! Chika: Who I am doesn't matter, what matters is our dance formation. *lifts cover* Chika: No one cared who I was until I became a school idol. Leah: If I took off that mask would you lose. Chika: No, but it would be extremely painful. Leah: You're a big idol. Chika: for you. Leah: Well, you got yourself caught. What's the next part of your master plan! Chika: Making you fall... with no chance of winning! Leah:  |

| Liked how they gave Ruby and Saint Snow character development. It was nice to see how one affected the other and vice versa. Also nice to see that the focus was on siblings(lol I can somehow relate) And as others have said, bad move not to include Saint Snow's performance. But, would you still complain considering that song was different from the one shown in an earlier episode? THEY MADE ANOTHER SONG FOR SAINT SNOW Lastly, another foreshadowing to the inevitable end to Aqours. Though, this is one of the things that makes SS greater than the original SIP. The slow build-up makes it so much better than the sudden, K-On! copy-paste graduation plot in μ's Lelouch0202 said: Somehow I feel the lyrics of the ED especially the beginning really resonate with the context of this episode. Feels like something Dia would tell Ruby. Also, Dia Ruby ED shot. <3 Really? I feel it was more suited to last weeks ep, atleast at the chorus. |

| Twin-tailed imoutos bicker about who's onee-chan is better.This was a great episode. |
| expected a zuramaru episode, got a saint snow ep instead?? not mad, just wish some of the characters (you) got a little more background story (hanamaru), instead of side characters (kanan) that are ultimately unimportant to the plot. but what can ya say |
 |
| Bittersweet episode with Saint Snow's defeat. Really loved the interactions with Ruby and Leah, it feels so different to her behaving more independently for her sister. Can't wait for their tribute song |

| This episode is so focus on drama just like the previous ones, but at least it's not that 'drama'. Haha. Poor Saint Snow didn't make it to the final round. Poor Leah and Sarah. Glad Ruby is there to cheer Leah up and they decided to dedicate a performance for their big sisters. Aww. I love this photo, btw. They're all so cute. :3  Zura is the star of this episode. Lmao. Chika's mask, though. Hahaha. So cute. |

| LOL Hanamaru and her gluttonous self lol I like the Ruby/Saint Snow focus, both Leah and Ruby feeling down about it being the last Love Live with their big sisters. But in the end Ruby cheering her up. Found it funny when Ruby was like no my sister is better xD Chika-chan and that ski mask xD |

Though for this particular episode, Try and be brave, I know it's scary, It's not like I was able to do it from the start, either I messed up a lot, I was really frustrated, But that gave me strength, so don't give up felt like something Dia would say to motivate Ruby since she can be pretty timid. xD |

And the scene in ep7 when the other Uranohoshi students gave them their support was where I think it was meant for. so, if the ED was for the series, I guess to the OP was for the build-up of everything that has happened so far? |

At the very least we're getting some kind of drama with them! Though I can see why you're disappointed with no actual Saint Snow song, hopefully we get to see some king of glimpse of it next episode. Saint Snow as idols is over. Now, we are going to see Saint Snow outside the school idol universe. There's gonna be some "emotional development" like you say, but no more cool Saint Snow like we were waiting for a very long time. Damn it, it took 8 episodes to see Saint Snow on scene and when we finally get to see them, the hype was real ! The intro of the song was leading into something freaking amazing but all of this... for nothing. Thanks for trolling us, assholes. SS was the only reason I keep watching S2 which was already a so-so season, but now I've got no more reason to watch the rest Buddy, if you're just watching Sunshine to see more Saint Snow than what's the point? |
 |
| I'm a little bummed that we didn't hear Saint Snow's song. I liked last season's "Control." |
| I didn't expect Saint Snow to lose that way as I thought they were Aqour's rival and they will meet in the final round. Now that they're eliminated, I wonder if another "rival" will appear in the final round? I like the conversation between Dia and Ruby. It was a heartwarming scene between two sisters. I enjoyed the scene between Ruby and Leah. Little sisters' talk! Leah smiling like that was a rare but great sight.  I look forward to see how Saint Snow developed after this loss in the next episode. :) |
 |
| lmao the drama in this was executed so badly. |
| Oh my, so much Ruby. I LIKE IT. |
| Finally an episode where Ruby isn't 100% annoying. She's only 90% annoying in this one. Progress. |
 Three things cannot be long hidden.. ...the s u n, the m oo n, and the tr u th. |
| I never knew Hanamaru is such a burger glutton! Damn, I wanna see how Awesome Saint Snow performs and how they mess-up with that fall...damn! 4/5. |
 |
| Too fun the beginning of the episode. It is touching instead the final one and the part that concerns Ruby and Dia. Too fun Chika, I was dying with laughter when I saw her. |
 |
| Saint Snow could've saved the show but Loli Live Sunshit chose to discard them as villains and didn't even bother showing their performance. Congrats garbage show, I'm lowering the score to a 1 |

They got miraculously beaten by muse despite the popularity gap and home advantage, some BS that was for the sake of the plot, freaking plot armor |

I agree, that part fit well with episode 7. As for the OP, if I had to put it one phrase it's basically Zenshoku Zenshin! XD To me at least, the OP seems to represent Aqours going full speed ahead to pursue their dreams. The last line "Let's run with everything we have and become the shining wind" certainly does seem to represent that. |

This killed me. Chika: idol by day, thief by night. Heartwarming episode. Ruby makes the cutest little noises. |
| What the fuck did I just watch??? This episode was just all over the place. I would've been okay with a 100% Ruby-Leah episode and they could've built up Saint Snow's downfall better. I don't get why we needed all those scenes about sisters and shit when they could've used that time to properly document Leah's fuck up, but instead LET'S USE THIS TIME FOR FAT HANAMARU. ISN'T THAT FUNNY!? Fuck off, Sunrise. |

| i feel like the scene where saint snow messed up was taken too lightly. i also wanted to see them perform though, tbh i much prefer saint snow's genre of music and style than aqours. |
| Ruby was adorable this episode, and Hanamaru had me in stitches. |
| Ugh, I don't like Ruby at all: her voice, her looks, the way she behaves... I hate her. I couldn't stand her during the whole episode. The rest of the girls made this ep for me. Not a fan of Saint Snow either, I have never really got hooked on their style: trying to look "intimidating" and menacing (?) I guess. It's too bad they didn't show their performance. Overall, the comedy was good and it's what saved the episode for me. |
 |
| Chika's Mikan Balaclava's totally not suspicious at all~ She probably shouldn't pass by Hakodate Bank just in case though lmao It was sad to see Saint Snow make a fatal mistake this far into the competition and in Sarah's final Love Live as a school idol too... Despite that unfortunate turn of events, Ruby showed that she's the best little sister out there who can empathize with Leah's feelings the most. I was almost as proud as Dia when she decided to go out of her way to cheer someone else up on her own accord. I'm very excited to see their new big sister appreciation song! |
 |
| My little cutie girl, Ruby, finally had its own dedication episode. Its featuring the dillema that hitted their former rival members, Saint Snow. Ruby scenes with Dia just, ah, its sad, actually, and really touching. But its grew up another feeling on me, like happy, proud, and respect. The end credit inserted scene was just beautiful featured by that siblings close relations. I am satisfied with that. The way the girl, Ruby, implicated the problems that hanged in the Saint Snow failure in their elimination rounds, perfectly touched my feeling. Its good, she knew what to do, because she felt it. Ruby really had a positive progression toward her own character, this episode directed all expression she had in a well direction. Its like Dia said, she really matured enough to be solving her own problems alone, without any help of her, as her sister. What a touchable moment. Its an obvious separation for them. But that doesn't mean the end of their relationship. Its same with what happened to Saint Snow. That why Ruby's focused to interacted with Ria to told them everything she knew, in a good way, ofc. Its good to seen her help Ria to solved her own problematic with her sister. Because, they were all the same, they loved their respective sister, and would not easily lost the happy moment they built up together. The differences between those twos by the way they acted afterwards. While Ruby had a positivity vibes to solved it, and Ria used a wrong way to solved that shit out of her. Thats why they couldn't make it into a final stages. They had a worst positions at their formation in their last performance. As the result? A failure on their step, couldn't sang a song, and failed miserably to moved to another stages in the end. The way Ruby just led her away to forget everything was just so touched, and yet, its really help her. If you love your sister, then, don't stop your feeling toward her and keep became an idol to satisfied her! Soon Ruby, and Ria, became a closer friend than before that led them into an event that happened in the movie. Oh, well! This is simply a nice excuse to love her character. I am satisfied enough, without forgetting how every girl had their funny moments, especially with Zuramaru. This girl really loved to eat xD A double filler development for Ruby? Yes. This is really the best episode for me, together with the next one. Lets go! |

| That was a bittersweet episode. Poor Leah.. :( Fortunatly Ruby was there to cheer her up. What a sweet girl she is. <3 |
 |
| This season has been a bit on the depressing and dramatic side of things. Even more than I remembered. :-/ First, Aquors couldn't save their school, and Saint Snow's performance in this episode went all wrong. Nice to see Ruby bringing up the idea of making a song for her and Leah's sisters. The sisterly parallel was a step above. Ruby saw Leah and herself as the little sisters with an older sister that will be graduating from school. It explains why Ruby could pinpoint the source of Leah's insecurity and soft spot. The conversation Ruby had with Dia was enough to bring a little tear to my eye. Dia's really proud of her little sister!~ Like, could those two have a spin-off, please?!? |
| I don't really like Ruby or Leah, but this episode was still great. I wish we got to see more of Saint Snow's performance though and more of Leah messing up, also wish we get to see Ruby and Leah perform that song dedicated to their sisters |
| Rip Saint Snow, I saw their downfall coming after all the talk about meeting in the finals lol, a shame because their song in Season 1 was one of my favorites. If only they let Leah finish listening to D&C 5/8/23 (she was in deep concentration with those earbuds lol) maybe they could have performed perfectly, even further beyond even. I also loved the Ruby stuff in this one, she’s more than squeaks after all. |
