| The final round at the National Stadium. 0.o Of course! Liella is the winner. ππ₯³ Imagine them not winning. It's two in a row for them. SunnyPa is also still alive and exists. π Kanon went to Vienna for real this time. This means more pilgrimage locations. π Next episode: A tearjerking graduation episode. |

| Yay! We finally got to see Margarete's sister. She's a very kind person. Congratulations, girls! You did it! Yeah, an expected outcome of course. It's going be a very emotional finale next week. |

| This episode was extremely productive. The future path of the 3rd years(which included Kanon going on a travel to Vienna). See Margarete's sister. Future of Liella!. And LL finals. |
 |
| This episode was soooo good. Great buildup to the championship (for those that complained it was taken too lightly in S2, I'm fully convinced that was intentional as this was supposed to be the bigger deal). And tying it back to the beginning with Kanon's initial dream was surprisingly touching. Also really love the way they flesh out each girl's plans and goals for the future. What a standout season for the Love Live! franchise. |

Kanon meet magarete sister  |
| “Cause we’re superstars ahhhhhdgdg this performance was amazing. I swear every one has topped the previous one this season and this was such a sweet way to cap things off. The new Liella finally fully united and focused on a singular goal and it paid off with them going back to back!!! So proud of the girls β€οΈ Margarete sister is so pretty too, kinda crazy that she flew Kanon out just for a face to face meeting though haha. Magarete herself realising how important being a school idol is to her and how much she’s begun to love Liella and the other girls was so sweet too! Her little tsun tsun self has come so far Ren reflecting on and realising how happy her mom would be that the school will be fine even after she graduates was great too. I wish her mom could see how far she’s come β€οΈ I want to see the next episode, but at the same time I don’t want the week to go by quick or this to end lmao. I’m gonna shed so many tears next week but at the same time it’ll be exciting to see where Liella goes from here. 3 seasons but no way we’re done |

| I had a hunch that they'd try to continue Liella after the 3rd years left since they started with only first years. I'm not sure if they will actually do it, but Margarete staying with Liella makes me think they will even more. It would definitely be interesting. No idea how that will work for their IRL performances though. I like that they are making a story of what will happen to the 3rd years. The Muse story always left a bad taste in my mouth because they just seemed to disband without any plans for the future, which was obviously weird. Although, I wish this would have been 2 episodes. 1 for the 3rd years and one for their finals. It felt like all of the most important things to end the season are crammed into this episode. Also, first the photo of Keke's dad and now Austrian men. I get the feeling they just don't show men in Japan.  |

| They did it! Back to back wins! Holding back tears with only one more episode left. I don't want it to end. I hope that if we get more Love Live it's set in the future with descendants of μ's, Aqours and Liella forming a group. |

| @WotsOnSecond The messenger who handed the letter to Chisato's postbox is a man. Also Kanon's dad (Season 1/Season 2 but no face). |

| We finally got to meet Margarete's sister and she seems to be such a nice person. It was so nice seeing all the girls working hard for the future and congratulations to Liella for another Victory at love Live their performance was once again magnificent. |

| They are really trying to get us ready for the final episode but even then I won't be ready to see the girls part their own ways. |

So, uh, can Kanon speak German or English, or is everyone at her music school going to speak Japanese?
Very fast-paced episode. It bothers me a bit when they skip straight from the performance to after they've won. I guess they couldn't be arsed characterising the rival groups.

| @CottonModem I guess they couldn't be arsed characterising the rival groups. They've been half-assed with the rivals since A-RISE tbh (at least in making rivals a "true threat"), but I don't blame them. Like how the hell are we supposed to believe μ's surpassed A-RISE when we saw "Shocking Party" and "Yume no Tobira" back to back... |

| I glad that there is only 1 episode left from this POS. They ruined this series so much... still i don't even understand why people praise this season. Character personality changed by 180 for no actually reason and the dialogues are cringe in the most of the time. So close to become 5/10 series... @CottonModem: Love live usually don't show the rival groups. This is the lazy way to do a win. |
| A bit surprised with the response from most folks for this episode, I came off this one thinking it was speedrunning everything, and looks like there are some that thought the same but most were just loving it, but honestly I respect it, don’t need to think too hard about Love Live after all. But yeah this one was kinda breakneck pace, I’m glad we got to see each 3rd year planning for the future along with the 2nd and 1st years doing their thing, but it woulda been nice to be able to breath lol, I definitely think a whole episode dedicated to just the 3rd years would have been for the best, I mean Kanon went to Vienna and came back within the same episode, kinda wild lol (Margarete’s sister tho π) And even the Love Live felt super quick, we just blinked to being there, they did their performance and we got immediate confirmation they won, didn’t really feel any emotions there, it was too fast to feel anything really lol. I can at least say the performance was awesome and a very fitting song to end Superstar with (assuming this 3rd season is it), but the rushed nature did take away from it for me, even Sunny Passion was like “guess we’re here too” yeah I guess so lol, nice to see them again at least. But at the same time, to me the Love Live competition felt secondary this season anyway, they made a big deal out of it as usual but the main plot points to me seem like the rivalry that was within Liella with Tomakanote, the 3rd years preparing for the next step in their lives, and the ones sticking around carrying the torch, so it’s really not a big deal that the Love Live didn’t feel as special this season imo. But this is ending next week, looks like I was right that they were giving the graduation a whole episode, I’m not ready for the sadness since Superstar was my 2nd ever Love Live series and remains my favorite, but I want to send my favorite girls off properly so I’ll try to stay positive lol. |

@iunne I said it when this season 3 started. 12 chapters, for 11 characters and developing the story well was going to be impossible, and in my opinion so it has been . everything has been very fast and this chapter It is proof of this. They won the second love live without any emotion, because there weren't even any rivals. And we only have one graduation chapter left, which is quite disappointing. Greetings
| @Hormigo I'm not sure if I follow. 12 "chapters"? It's been 36 episodes. not to mention this has nothing to do with my reply...? but to address your points. Liella! winning the second Love Live was more rewarding (at least for me) than either of Muse and Aqours' wins, so let's just agree to disagree. Aqours had no rival either, and they didn't show A-RISE's final song so I don't think your point really makes sense. The focus of LL has never been about defeating their rivals or overcoming adversaries, but of group bonding and growth. If you want to go into character development though, I would be more than happy to as I love analyzing writing (and feel free to DM if you'd rather discuss over DMs rather than a forum). I genuinely think Liella! has some of the best written and fleshed out girls in all of LL. You also talk as if 24-episode SIP/Sunshine developed their 9 girls well, when they didn't for a lot of them e.g. Umi, Kotori, Hanayo, Hanamaru, Kanan. And I say this as a die-hard Umi fan. And if you want to talk about pacing we can go into how SIP and Sunshine had filler episodes (which personally I'm not a fan of), which I consider quite bizarre when you look at their timeline. The reason is you really don't need 24 episodes for one single year is my theory. These girls started a club, recruited members, then went on to win a national tournament all within one year with most of them having 0 idol experience and guidance. And the third years still had time to prepare for their entrance exams/post-high school plans? I had my brain off in that aspect so I still enjoyed SIP at least. But SS's best asset by far has been their writing imo, in both characters and plot (although not perfect). |

| they won with a song that lame? literally carried by rigged rng and p2w. |
 |
| The entire season has shown that there would be no competitors worthy of Liella! other than Liella! themself (literally!π
) If I were allowed, the only thing I would change in this episode would be to have Kanon run through the school carrying the Love Live flag. For me, it is part of the iconography of Love Live and every winning girl should have the privilege of carrying it just like in the Olympics.    |

| Wow, I don't think the Love Live has ever been speed run this fast before! They didn't even show the songs of Liella's competitors! |
 |
| so sad that the last chapter is near. About the episode i love it <3 |
Hello! Have nice day!!  |
| SunnyPa making an appearance with voice and dialogues. Make a wish. Also more males appearing in LL. Make another wish. Super fast-paced episode but it was still decent to some degree. So... how is Kanon gonna do to study in Vienna if she doesn't know neither German nor English? Anyways, just tell me the next generation of Liella! will have Margarete as the main composer so they can make more rock-inspired idol songs. Because those seriously slap. |
| So Kanon took a flight to Vienna on fkng New Year's eve and didn't tell her friends about it? Ok. This episode was amazing actually, I love that this season has been serious about the future of the girls, that stuff has never been tackled so deep before in the LL! series. This episode had the perfect ending, if this season ended here it would have been great, so I hope that next episode is as good as this one, and doesn't ruins it with something stupid... Oh, and I hope Kanon goes to study abroad, if she decides to cancel everything on the last second it would be the biggest joker ever lol   Chisato is truly an angel β€οΈ |
Sorry if my english is bad (γ£Λβ½Λ)γ£~~~ Btw, cry about it.  |
| With no rivals presented before, it could only end like this but at least the song was interesting for its choices in instrumentation and it was nice to see SunnyPa again (i also just like both of their seiyuus so much) Now, i expect the series finale to become very emotional. Liella never had a chance to become the favorite Love Live main set of characters because generation 1 already set the bar too high, but to be completely honest they're also very good and i will miss them like everyone else before. |
 |
| I wasn't really feeling it mid season, but these last couple of episodes after Liella became complete got me on board again. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| Kanon finally in Vienna!! It was great, and now they could perform for the finale and win it once again, it's truly the end next episode though :( |
