THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
Wow!! After a Niko episode we have another Niko episode again !! She is so funny even though we got to see her "dark side" here and there LOL

And they are taking this video, and Umi and Maki look so cute there....

The PV with the new insert song is a wonder to behold. I think the CG has even improved.

Love LoveLive !!!

OK, now second viewing....
So MAL finally starts locking news threads that are only a few weeks old?

I wonder where was the announcement of this change? Or we are seeing yet another case of changes made that impacted users but not communicated to them?

I wonder how long people would put up with this.

As much as I have a bunch of information to share about anime announced recently I cannot share it in news board, and the anime series is too disorganized and chaotic to share information except with people already interested in the particular series.

^ You are welcome.


Just finished second viewing.

And I really love how they keep a good balance of covering every single girl in one episode and builds character little by little even for those who are not the main focus of the episode. I especially love how they bring out why Honoka is the actual leader after all without saying it aloud (or Honoka realizing or caring about it)

Niko was beautiful with her hair down, they should've taken her picture like that. Too bad she's still her bossy and devious self but she'll get better.



Now the insert song was really good and the CG was very above average and enjoyable mainly due to it's simplicity compared to the likes of Precure, I don't like the CG in that in any of them that have it.



That's very close to perfect for a group pose and Niko looks and seems more adorable when she's performing than just being herself.

Well some of the best leaders are the ones that don't flaunt their influence willy-nilly.

oh and the insert song in karaoke scene is "love novels" by BiBi (sub-group of niko, maki, and eri)
also that fail niko XD

and the costume for the pv 'kore kara no someday' is cute, loved umi's bunny and rin's cat.

I keep laughing at Niico-chan. She's always getting ignored

Kotori manage to finish handing out her flyers first. And she doesn't want to see what's in her bag. Suspicious. We're getting a bit closer that she's actually Minalinsky.

I wonder why Hanayo is panicking at the end?

Anyway, will comment further when subs are out. Watching this episode once is not enough!

Yeah it's so funny Nico-chan keep getting ignored and she realize that they were on the same level at everyone.
Even so it was quite a good episode and nice PV.

Well, I actually wonder as well what Hanayo was panic, it can't be good.
In the next episode Eri will try to help them.

And poor Yukiho (Honoka's sister), she's always seen in her embarrassing situations, haha!

Heh, it looks like someone is camera shy this episode although it doesn't come up as a big surprise to me at all. Fun to see Nico-senpai again this episode. For some reason, I like her character more than I thought. I mean, who can forget about this:



Oh and when she pulled her hair down with that personality. The Oscars awards goes to...

Shame, I wanted to hear the songs rather than just seeing the results. Oh well, maybe next time.

Now, I'm a little curious. Does Niko remind me of anyone of the Niko from Accel World? Same hair style, some of the same mannerisms, etc.

Finally I noticed that there is something off about those CGI... but since it took me so long they are not that bad. And songs are nice so I don't mind.

Nico was so adorable and even nice... she could force herself to become leader but she did it differently. I like this development of hers.

I wonder what was about this cliffhanger - can't wait till next episode, great series.

i just love how they talked about how the leader doesnt need to be the best singer, best dancer, or is the most attractive. she just needs to be the one who's able to keep pushing forward where nobody ever has a problem following. charisma and tenacious determination, i guess.

I'll probably do the same just so I can (try to) catch the words of the song in that routine they did.

(it's nice a show about a 'song and dance' team actually features a fair amount of 'song and dance', and I also agree they are doing a decent job with the story and developing each of the characters)

Pretty laid-back episode. I loved all the Nico moments, especially when her nico-nico smile failed and she used force to give the flyers. xD

I loooooove the song at the end!~ Umi's voice is GORGEOUS! <3 I really like Rin's too~ And Maki's seems beautiful but she didn't sing enough to tell.. D:

All the others were too squeaky and similar to me though..

Very entertaining episode.

It brought lots of smirks and laughs for me.

Nico always makes the funniest faces and the funniest girl of the group. Always getting ignored and failing at her plans. Kotori hiding her to prevent revealing her secrets is cute. Umi and Maki are cute too.

Despite the director being a newbie, he's doing a pretty good job developing the characters. They really put a lot of budget on the animation compared to other anime nowadays.

Also, I'm curious why Nozomi said Eri is needed by the girls? Hopefully, the two
will join the group next episode or the next after that. Then the team will finally be complete!

Every time Nico does her 'thing' I cringe. It was nice the previous episode but now it's just annoying.

Overall, this was a pretty... boring episode compared to how fun the previous were.

As Nico said in episode 5, Minalinsky is a popular charisma maid in Akiba. You'll see Kotori looking at a board with a signature named Minalinsky at the top of the cabinet in the club room. So far that's the only info given.

Watched this episodes Four Times now.

Talk about attention to details. The poses the girls struck are the exact poses they would later make for their PV, but the drawing of the characters was not replicated but drawn slightly differently:






As for Otori being more than what she might look, not only we see a photo of her in maid uniform, she also managed to be the first to finish handing out the pamphlets on the street, and on top of that during the dace practice she was the only one whose dancing Umi found no issue with. Is she Minalinsky? Well....
So MAL finally starts locking news threads that are only a few weeks old?

I wonder where was the announcement of this change? Or we are seeing yet another case of changes made that impacted users but not communicated to them?

I wonder how long people would put up with this.

As much as I have a bunch of information to share about anime announced recently I cannot share it in news board, and the anime series is too disorganized and chaotic to share information except with people already interested in the particular series.

I mean people are still not sure if Kotori is Minalinsky, there is so many clues like the fact her last name is Minami, the photo, and the fact that she was relief to know that Nico-sempai never saw Minalinsky, why were she be relieved if she don't have anything to do with her!! Everything is just screaming she is Minalinsky seriously there is no debate there.

Sure, there is no debate about Minalinsky, but it's nice to talk about the clues leading to Kotori being the maid.

Kotori-chan is so cute when she's denying to hiding something from them. I actually like her chipmunk voice. Her VA also voiced cute Himawari-chan in Vividred.

I'm looking forward in seeing Kotori-chan's secret getting revealed to the girls.

I love how Honoka and Kotori where making the first years laugh, especially when Kotori spoke in a rather funny voice with a funny mask on. Maki and Umi acting tsundere as always. So cute. lol
