| so far episodes focus always follow OP scene order so with OP scene order we will get EP4 : Ai Miyashita EP5 : Emma Verde EP6 : Rinna Tennoji EP7 : Kanata Konoe EP8 : Shizuku Osaka EP9 : Karin Asaka then EP10-13 will have more freedom. I doubt Shiroiko will appear on S1, maybe on S2 since her appearance on franchise is still new. At least, from Setsuna's mind, they are still trying to reach Love Live as a group. |

| Considering how slow this had felt so far compared to previous Love Live anime, this episode felt incredibly rushed in terms of its resolution for Setsuna's issues and her place in the group. It didn't feel like the conversation on the rooftop did enough to justify such a quick u-turn on her part. Either way, the group is almost fully assembled it seems and though we're bound to have episodes for the rest of the cast (many of whom I've already forgotten the names of somehow), I expect it won't be too long until we start getting group performances. But, to be honest, I'm much happier with these solo performances so far than I've ever been with Love Live's group performances: these individual performances are much more distinct from each other and are generally much more interesting to watch than the samey group performances have ever been for me (besides the technical merits behind those scenes, anyway). It'll be a shame to shift back to the old dynamic, but it's bound to happen eventually so I'm just hoping they keep on pushing these individual performances as long as possible. |

At least until EP9 we will get solo song.Considering how slow this had felt so far compared to previous Love Live anime, this episode felt incredibly rushed in terms of its resolution for Setsuna's issues and her place in the group.

| She shouted out her love, you even got your first love confession too. Darn, nice catch there, Yuu! And welcome back to school idol, Yuki Setsuna! I never thought that the moment of her return would be something so special like that. Its kinda, epic, and her solo just, damn, beautiful! Ngl, its feels so good. The story felt simple to coming through every parts, and never expected with Yuu's role so far that keep clinging and motivating on every pioneer of Nijigasaki's school idol members. So far, three girls already felt on her nice charm, who else? I doubt it might reach the last two members. But i am surely know nothing xD. Overall, its really a nice direction, simple and easy to be following up as their successor story telling. Ofc its not so similar. Because, yeah, there so much solo-ish singing parts that becaming their flagship and marking points. My impression obviously enjoying that! Also, Setsuna cheer personality kept adored me, together with her ability to maintaining the twos different personality as one body, really impressive. I don't hate Seito Kaichou mode on her. So, i really hope that mode still intacted, at least on the school. Because, yeah, she always surprised me, at least on these first three episodes xD. |

| Yep, I’m loving this so much. Didn’t feel Setsuna’s song this week, but god damn what a good episode. I’m glad all this drama about Setsuna wasn’t dragged too much. So far so good |
| The first half was kinda eh, but the second half made up for it. But like a few have mentioned, it felt rushed, especially the part where they all meetup and discuss Setsuna, atleast for me. Other than that it was a pretty decent episode. Not the best so far but decent. Also Yandere Kasumin:  |
| Setsuna's voice actress sure has a lovely voice. |
| Yuu help Setsuna come back to being an idol. Glad this issue got resolve by episode 3. We can move on now. Setsuna-chan is back! :) oh, and also glad they kept the cat and not throw it away. Student council pres is a kind person. |
| I just realised by watching the OP that Yuu is not part of the group so I won't be able to watch her singing and dancing I am disappointed . :( |
 |
| I've always been a Setsuna hater... Her character doesn't appel to me at all (voice is wonderful tho), it annoys me that she's so popular among the fandom in general, I thought the anime could maybe change that, but no, really didn't appreciated her storyline... I don't like characters that need someone to push them up like Yuu did. On the other hand, Kasumin has been a wonderful surprise! I'm really enjoying her screentime! Karin definitely best girl, can't wait to see more of her and Emma! |
 |
| Decent episode So this was a faster paced compared to 2 previous series because the club was well established already they just need to need some few members. In SIP and Sunshine they started from a scratch thats why they ptook long to established the club and complete the group then faced a lot of conflicts from school and to one another |
| B O C C H I S W E E P |
| I enjoyed this episode even though it kind of went the way I thought it would. As soon as I knew it would be focused on Setsuna, I had a good idea on what was going to go down |
| I loved this chapter, setsuna x yu OTP! |
| It was a great episode so much sweet Yuri The idols are now back together. I like that the president got some attention. And my little princess Yuu was adorable and shined more then a million stars! Going around telling other girls that she loves them and stuff,,,YEEEEEEEEEEEES!! You are so sweet and are my very well behaved little lesbian honey! In the end the lesbians was clinging on to each other the love was in the air! And they almost kissed! It was so damn close. Next time I want some lesbian kissing! YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES  |

| oh god! Yuuki Setsuna was awesome this episode! props to Kusunoki Tomori for her great performance!!! 5/5. |
 |
| Setsuna Yuki's outfit is amazing. It captures both of her personas very well, with one side being the military uniform representing the prim and proper Nana Nakagawa and the other being the punk uniform representing the free, wild Setsuna Yuki. Tomori Kusunoki has done an amazing job voicing her. Can't wait for the next episode!  |

| And yet again, Yuu being the one to solve all the other girl's problems. At this point, it feels like Yuu should be the actual "main main character" instead of Ayumu that didn't really get that much screen time. And yea, Setsuna is ultra "cool", she have a huge passion for School Idol, a bit too much that it interfered with her passion itself. And we got a mini-Yuri moment there at the end with Yuu jumping on Setsuna, LOL. |

| THis seems like Aikatsu now, cute girls do cute things, then there is a problem, oh no, and they fix everything and then sing a song, the setting is similar and all, I'm not quite fan of this franchise but after the failure (talking about an original setting) of Sunshine I hoped for something more original. |
 |
| Yet another great episode. Setsuna's performance was awesome. That girl is on fire! Maybe her problems got resolved more quickly than I expected but I really don't mind. It's also a good thing they don't need to save the school this time. |

| I'm loving the music video format of each performance. It reminds me of the musical approach to the other Love Live movies, with each girl's personality & style creatively taking center stage to change the world around her. |
 |
| A talented person like Setsuna being crushed by the self-induced need to fulfill the expectations of those around her to the point of holding herself back... I can most certainly emphatize with her and I'm really glad that she realized that it's not a requirement to reach the top right away especially if the need to get there as soon as possible would end up getting in the way of her happiness as well as others'. The live performances continue to be excellent and it definitely looks like I can DIVE a lot deeper into this franchise than I already have! |
 |
| I still find the show boring but I love in anime when the glasses come off and pigtails dissolve into beautiful tresses. Setsuna is a great name. I think I like her the most. |
 |
| Hehe, they dead ass had English, Korean, and Chinese comments on Setsuna's YouTube video. That's pretty cute.~ Setsuna's song was bananas in hindsight. When I first watched this, I thought it would take a bit longer for her to warm up and join, but nope! &++ she just killed that performance |
| Setsuna is the GODDESS of Love Live! Love her so much, best songs ever <3 I'm with you forever Setsuna-chan! And Yuu is literally an angel :') |
| This is literally every Love Live episode at its finest. One characters have problem, the other try to talk no jutsu, at the end that characters is convinced and everyone is happy again. |
Hello everyone, i like Slice of Life and CGDCT (Cute Girls Doing Cute Thing) anime. I'm also like to make a lot of friends online, so feel free to add me as a friend or invite me to a club :)  |
Such progressivismness. So much wouke. Finally a cat in anime that questions the primitive, patriarchal, toxic masculine social constructs such as gender and sex (blegh), and boldly takes a stand. I'm sure this stunning and brave non-binary cat is the most intelligent cat that has ever lived, since they were able to break free of the societal conditioning imposed on them and wake up to their own truth that is as valid as anyone else's. What a time to be alive and proudly be on the right side of history. |
