| I realized that Sunshine is honestly just a direct ripoff of the original. I couldn't enjoy it anymore after noticing that. |
  Crying doesn't mean you're weak. Enduring doesn't mean you're strong. |
| Very emotional ending, I like it how it ends. A happy/sad ending. And... my prediction was right, Thois will be have a movie. |
| Not a bad episode, actually very emotional one. Have to say the scene where Dia and Kanan were giving giving diploma to Mari was really touching. But their reunion in the end was kinda stretch and not really needed in such (when we know the movie was already announced), it just destroyed the previous build-up. I would actually liked it better if they kept it bittersweet all the way to the end. (btw - Shiitake being a girl was real shocker here :D) As for the series, it started really well, it was bit better than the first one, but they didn't really thought out the lead to the conclusion well and starting with episode eight it get really weak, plagued with random jokes, bad storyarcs or by the fact they didn't take themselves seriously. It kinda backfired in the end as those emotional ties to the characters could have been a lot more intense if there was proper build-up before. The problem of this series is it's all form over substance, many things were there just for an effect and character barely stepped out of their archetypes (athough they actually tried in first several episodes of S2). Still dunno what to think about the fact that they won Love Live by the way, without any competition or effort... the fact is that in the end whole LL contest was just afterthought and it would be probably a lot better if they used checkov's gun and get rid of it completly (at least for this series). If Aquors actually decided they don't give a fuck about Love Live and went independent just for their school. If some developement actually happened other than 'Let's find our shine'. But I understand they wouldn't be able to market those things so easily so they took easy way out. 6/10 |

| Great & wonderful finale episode. Congrats Aqours on winning Love Live. Sad to see everyone say goodbye to the school, but they made lots of memories that they will cherish forever. Riko getting a dog was sweet & Shiitake having puppies was unexpected. Didn't know Shiitake was a girl. Loved the final performance in the end & nice to see costumes from past episodes show up. Overall & fun & enjoyable season. I enjoyed the songs & seeing the girls change over the course of two seasons was great. Gonna miss this show. Nice to see that a film was announced. 8/10. |

| Absolutely fantastic. Much better than the original series in pretty much every way in my opinion. I'm looking forward to the film. This series, though it started off a bit rocky (aping the original too much) it really came into its own with this season. Characters were developed and while it would have been nice to see Honoka or something in a "passing the torch" moment - in a way I am glad that didn't happen, as this is the story of Aqours, who against all odds, even after failure after failure - succeeded. I loved it, and I will never forget Aqours. I'm a little demon, after all. |

| A finale that felt like a conclusion for once. The parts were they closed down the school room by room was a nice touch. This ending seemed pretty final, but I wonder what will be in the movie? Maybe they'll have an after-grad/closing trip? Since anime franchises never seem to really die, one wonders what direction they will go next. Will these characters just fade away, or will the first and second years continue as idols in the new school? Will Love Live saga part III feature an entirely new school with 9 different girls? |
| in my opinion is the best final episode of the season, I loved it |
 looking forward to movie and 3rd entry group. |

Kougeru said: Honestly, I felt season 1 was too similar to the original Love Live! anime. This season tho...really debating between 8 or a 9/10. It was a really fun ride the entire time and the Ruby+Leah episodes were outright beautiful. I feel like this season just had a lot of heart in it that was missing from the previous one. Animations also seemed better but I might just be tired. Overall, I feel like this anime might've made me love anime again. Can't wait for the movie I feel the same way. Honestly, and I know this is kind of far off, but I'm kind of excited (and a bit worried) what they're gonna do if they go the third time around and if they do a copy or learn to do something new. But this season felt like a big improvement and kinda fixed a lot of the mixed reactions I had about Season 1. Movie hype, boys! |

| So they literally won Love Love against no one lol |
 |
| Disappointed, why they did this to Love Live.. |
| >/////////////////////////////////////////< |

| Unfortunately, I did not enjoy LLS. There was way, way too much contrived drama and comedy, which made the show feel artificial, hollow, and very painful to sit through. The annoying character quirks/memes being spammed endlessly from Yoshiko, Mari, and Hanamaru in particular didn't help either. The blatant pandering to shippers was irksome as well. No me gusta. 4/10 |
| Salmon is delicious. |
| Hot garbage. I'm so disappointed. |

| I never really enjoyed Sunshine as much as the original Love Live, unfortunately. Not to say it was bad or anything, but it was just never on par with the original. Will watch the movie, though. 7/10. |
  |
| Episode 13 felt so unsatisfying... throughout the 24something minutes I thought I had missed something. It felt like a dream. Now I'm not sure if that's done on purpose to make us "feel" what the girls feel, or if it's just bad directing/writing. I'm both excited and anxious for the movie. I don't want them to disband (at least not yet) What can they do now? They've lost the school but won the competition. I'm anxious for the girls' future. |
 |
| I have to say, I really, really enjoyed this season! and I wasn't really even expecting to as much as I did. the first season of Sunshine didn't really impress me, because much of it seemed rehashed from the original (and admittedly I probably also just still didn't want to let go of Muse). I didn't hate it but it didn't give me the same warm feeling the original Love Live did. but to be honest, season 2 really surprised me in a lot of ways. it built on the characters to make each one stand more, it threw in some unexpected plot twists, and in many ways improved on the Love Live formula. it somehow felt a bit more mature than any of the previous seasons. like even though they didn't succeed in their goal to save their school, they still succeeded in winning Love Live, showing that life is made up of successes and failures, and you can't let one failure prevent you from living. that's just how I saw it at least, or maybe I'm just being too sentimental for my own good LOL so I'll just end with... Kanan best girl looking forward to the movie! |
anapeach said: Hot garbage. I'm so disappointed. I yelled "well that was some hot garbage" after the ep finished lol Completely agree. Really wish I could like this season but it was so boring, repetitive and lazy. So many frames were poorly done throughout as well which doesn't make sense with how much money this studio has. |
| I have to watch both series again, but I'm fairly sure Sunshine is the better show in my opinion. This second season I thought to be much better than all three seasons previous to it. I thought the originals second season was a bit lame except for the ending, and the movie wasn't even really needed. I think the movie should show them in their new school, because I feel like if there wasn't a movie, they would have shown that in some way or another. Also, I am under the assumption we will see the grown up Honker again. I think that's how much time should have past since the original took place, but may be wrong on that. Would be interesting to see. 10/10 for me. Third best show of the entire year, best show of the season out of everything I watched. |

| Shiitake's puppies are cute and thats all that matters. |
bread is yummy |
| It was okay, I guess. |

| Why does Riko have so many ship baits? Stay still and stick to one girl. Anyway, here's what I think: LLSS1>LLS2>LLMovie>LLS1>>>>>LLSS2. Really dislike this season. And to think that I liked Sunshine season 1 the most, I really thought Sunshine will beat the original but season 2 ruined it. Riko is the only one that got me to finish this season. Hope in the movie, they'll bring back ChikaRiko and jimo ai. In songs, I think I prefer Aqours songs than Muse. I like so many Aquors song while Muse doesn't have that much good songs. But props to Snow Halation, it still remained the best song out of all Love Live songs. |
| Sunshine confirmed to be easily the superior LL series. Can't wait for the movie. Lmfao at all the "It ain't better than the original" nostalgiafags in this thread. |
 |
| Worst season of Love Live! for me. The previous season was far better than this one. It felt like nothing. |
| Glad to hear Aozora Jumping Hear one final time in the show, it was one of my favorite songs from Sunshine I'll miss the show and wished they could add a season 3 just for the pleasure of seeing the group go about their daily activities Aquors really won me over with how charismatic and lively the group was. I'll still prefer Riko x Yohane and You x Chika. Interesting to see Mama Takami get a couple minutes of screen time. That ending was so bittersweet, them singing one final song. 8/10 Go Aquors <3 |

Where are you have been..? /s CG > Sunshine /s I watched it in this order: Love Live Sunshine -> Most of Love Live Sunshine Season 2 -> All of the original Love Live (because I got bored of waiting for weekly episodes) -> The rest of Love Live Sunshine Season 2. I didn't watch the original Love Live first. |
Crying doesn't mean you're weak. Enduring doesn't mean you're strong. |
| Well, better than the garbage that was last season. They actually put the story in a new direction this time and I'm glad they did. The episode or two with the other two girls was a nice change of pace as well. Overall I'm glad this is over and I hope they stop juicing Love Live anime so the studio can put their time towards something else for once. (Accel World season 2 please.) 8/10, nothing special. |
| I feel... nothing on this episode. Heck, on the last few episodes, what I only feel is cringe. Now there'll be a movie... I don't even know if I'll watch it. It feels like I'll get more excited if there'll be an announcement that the 3rd generation will have their anime. |
 |
| This is probably the tackiest finale anime episode I've ever watched. Heck, I still liked it. Haha. Wow. A movie? Yeees. I hope the soundtrack of this anime will be available soonest. Gonna miss the girls. 7/10 |

| The ending was surprisingly good. I was gonna end up rating it a 6 (which I consider on the low side for me cuz I usually rate things at 7-8), but I will at least give it a 7. Maybe an 8 if I make up my mind. They were some things I didn't like about Sunshine, over the first one. First, there's the setting (School closing down? Yeah, rehashed). Then there's the characters. Besides You and Riko, I didn't really like the others much (Mari and Yoshiko were OK, I guess). Then there's the some other things I got a bit nitpicky about (These aren't stuff unique to LLS, cuz it runs in the series I guess lol). Things like immersion and realism. Such as how the Idols depicted never had mouthpieces visible whilst singing, background male characters not being shown at all... And the actual process of making the song soundtracks. Though I guess Riko did the soundtracks in the background. Anyway. The animation was pretty nice, and the music was made by Tatsuya, so those were pluses. The actual singing sequences were very nice, too. The work definitely had its moments, so because of that I see this as pretty decent watch, overall. |

| SOMEHOW I dissapointed. So many anticlimax, the dramas are not powerful enough and somehow forced (like how it was always) and I agree with the guy in the review as he said You had been useless this season. If only the name of this season is not Love Live "Sunshine" maybe the MC would not ruin the story with "Kagayaiteru" nonsense things. Still loved the characters though, and love LLSS overall, but the ending is again a dissapointment. |
| Cheesy episodes but kinda decent Overall it was 6/10 |
| Rance X is A GOAT. |
| I'm crying, I don't wanna cry more ;u; |
 |
| I never recovered from the episode where they demolished the performance by Ruby and Leah. That episode decisively ruined any love I had for the series. |
 |
Mikaru7 said: In the previous Sunshine season, I had a tear (ONLY a tear) stream down my eye during the Kanan Mari hug. Thank God I'm not the only one who genuinely in tears during KanaMari hugs. I didn't even cry in S2 ep7 & 11, but I'm relieved when Riko reaffirms her resolution to become a school idol & petting Shiitake. |
| Well, it's about as long and drawn out as the original Love Live final, but instead of taking forever to say goodbye to their group, they take forever to say goodbye to the school. (I had to watch the entire episode at 2X speed just to get through it, with them milking all the emotional stuff for everything that was was worth and all.) |
| Still liked the Original Love Live! series more imo. Though' You could say I was a huge-fan of µ's before Aqours appears, Aqours not so much but I still like them (teehee)... But It's good too nonetheless, falling slightly than the last season imo cuz' for some corny moments happen like most-the-time which makes me cringe sometimes lol... Also quite some sad moments with the closure of the school in the first-part of the Episode, though a little bit anti-climatic in the End imo especially when the Third years returned to school eventhough there's a scene where They already gone off somewhere... Can't wait for the Movie... 8/10 |

Really wish I could like this season but it was so boring, repetitive and lazy. So many frames were poorly done throughout as well which doesn't make sense with how much money this studio has. Seriously though. How can they take a formula such as the Love Live formula and ruin it. The first season was so cool! But now I honestly think I was just enjoying it because of LLSIP nostalgia or something. Season two was just a flop. The whole season was just inspirational quotes. Some episodes were literally just that. Like if I'm watching a show I don't want to think "oh literally any of the main characters could've said this line and it wouldn't matter because their personalities are so similar and overlapped" and that's what I thought throughout most of the season. The whole "finishing each other sentences so that everyone gets equal screen time" thing also felt very transparent. And I say all of this out of complete fucking love because I really do love this show and its characters. Even Chika, who spent the entire season trapped in her own mind rambling the same shiny shit over and over like some prophet or something because sis wouldn't even look at the other girls while she was speaking, most of the time. It was just.......... flat. Boring. Hot garbage. |

| Terrible final episode just like in season 1 wtf (should've ended in ep12) That "confession" was forced and unnecessary, its like they completely disregard their situation the whole time And shippers calling it "otp" are just annoying, like really, standing next to each other for the majority of the show only to throw that BS gay friendship kinda love confession wtf sunrise 8/10 still better than LLSIP tho LLS S1 7/10 LLS S2 8/10 LLSIP S1 6/10 LLSIP 7/10 |
| Good ending but the whole chika thing is iffy. It suggests that yoshiko, riko and mari all died in the bus trip, the lightning that focuses on them also ads to this. I guess the movie will have some time and miracle shenanigans. |
