| Rina's development in the game seemed lackluster so I hoped that anime, when it was announced, would touch on this and I really am pleased with the results. In the game, she is solely portrayed as just a girl with some social anxieties so she wears a mask but in the anime, they went all out explaining that not only does she have to deal with social anxiety but fears that because of her monotone voice people will perceive her as angry and not caring. From a character that was at the bottom of my best girls ladder she really did climb up. I also liked how Yuu gave her the mask, I mean sure it's sweet how Ai gives her the mask in the game but there's something about how the 'self insert' character gives her the mask that helps her express her emotions better that makes it more wholesome. Deco*27 did a great job composing her song and the lyrics fit Rina so well :)  |
| Of course rina would get the best episode, based |
| I dunno. Everything up to her concert was good but the song itself was pretty bad and I dunno how I feel about her electronic mask - that's not a solution to the problem, that further enforces it. Also, she really should answer her classmates without that face-drawing... I mean, it really feels like fan fetish, fanservice at best to make her look cutesy (but she is actually more cute without it). It always kicks me out of the immersion when I realize it's only plot device. |
| I think so many people can relate to Rina, atleast me who is not very good at expressing his feeling through words.I'm very moved by her character since i can relate to her definetely my favourite girl from this series but other girls are pretty good too. |
 |
| What a great episode. That was probably the most unique performance in Love Live franchise. Rina's electronic monitor was so adorable. =^_^= |

| Rina is a national treasure. I don't know what expression I had on my face when I was watching her performance, but I imagine I was >_< to the max. I had to watch it 3 or 4 times so I could see the way her emoticons matched the lyrics. |
 |
| OMG Rina is surely the best girl all Love Live! combined in my opinion! 😍 It also holds the most original performance all Love Live! combined! \(≧▽≦)/ |
| Damn... I knew that Rina always had trouble expressing her emotions and connecting with others but it was only now in this episode that I've seen how affected she really was by her social incapabilities. The sadness and frustration in her voice when she revealed to everyone that she could never make friends because of her being the person she is really broke my heart. I really envy her for having such an advanced PC set but even with all those gadgets to have fun with, anyone's bound to feel lonely from time to time. It's quite a feat for the most introverted member of the club to go ahead and head their first official live show! I'm really glad that she was finally able to express her true feelings to everyone. |
 |
| Oh yeah, I remember this being my favourite episode because my childhood self could relate a lot to Rina and her struggles. Heck, I'll even say that it's just one of the best episodes when it comes to any Love Live, period. Golly, for this Love Live it really is hard to pick just 1 best girl lol. Her song, and the accompanying animation that went with it this episode was next level. It just felt so genuine for a lack of a better word right now. Just the overall attention to detail with not only Rina's character, but the visuals were so darn great! |
| Rina so cuteeeee, im happy that she can perform now! . I love the couple Rina-Ai hehe <3 they are so pretty together. Nice episode! Rina deserves so much love :') |
| Damn this episode hit close to home. I like how Rina's performance was actually the most realistic cause she stayed on stage rather than having her whole environment change lol. Also, Rina being a bit of a computer whiz and gamer girl was a bit cliche but I love it. Also, Karin's face here is hilarious to me for some reason: |
