Your link isn't working for me, but yeah, it was tough to watch when I saw it during an idolwatch a couple months back after watching Final Live. Rikyako really had a panic attack after she messed up that piano bit (I don't blame her, it was only her second time playing the piece live and she had only started learning it and playing piano in the first place when they started rehearsal for the Live a couple months prior) but the crowd and the rest of the group, Ainya and Anchan especially, encouraging her through it prior to her starting it over, and their reaction afterwards was a really heartwarming moment. Too bad it probably will never be done again because of that. I wonder if that scene made it to the concert DVD or was edited out to preserve the idol magic and all that... Yes_Cantaloupe posted:Anchan will also have the advantage of not having to learn on a loving beach Doesn't help that now I'm seeing Aqours a lot more as their seiyuus instead of the characters themselves, because of all the Niconamas I've been watching on YouTube. Aikyan's new one (HamuRiha?) has made me like her a lot more, even if she was already my favorite, and Kin-chan's weekly Dengeki PlayStation lives are great too, she's really grown on me a lot. And of course Suwawa and Ainya being so cute together all the time, plus Shuka being Shuka, and Furinrin and never living down the Sexy Home Tutor sketch is great. I'm still waiting for more Saint Snow, I like their music a lot. They made an appearance this episode, but poor Ria only had a three word line about the bath. Too bad, so sad.

Huh, apparently this time around the dub dropped the weird 'we're keeping the honorifics even though it's english now' thing so when it came time to do the episode when Dia was stressing over her honorific they had to do a bit of bending. https://streamable.com/5z4g5 Honestly works pretty well. Any dub that makes the original 1000% gayer is usually solid to begin with but boy 'Dia fantasizes about being called honey' was something. Cute way to handle the cultural gap though, and I think it works better than the original series just keeping the -chans and all.

Yea it's super obvious they had some fun thinking about what cutesy nicknames would be good to fill the 'it's how we show we're friendly but it'd be kinda awkward to do with someone we view as a superior' gap. Did You say 'matey' in Dia's fantasy? If so I need that to be 100% canon what she calls people.

Aqours is SO GOOD. Really glad I went to see them. I don’t speak Japanese and my Korean is barely conversational at best so I couldn’t follow a lot of the talking/fanmeet part even when it was translated, but the live/performance part was great. Unfortunately I didn’t get to buy any swag because my bus was delayed and I didn’t even get to the venue until after it had already started. So yeah A+++, would spend 80 bucks to see anime idol concert again

I'm disappointed that they'll probably never come to NYC, even though there's definitely enough of a fanbase here on the East Coast that would come out to see them. Plus, they could even do the pilgrimage thing and reenact scenes from the School Idol movie. Guess I'll just have to content myself with delayed viewings. Oh well.

I really enjoyed parts of this week's Sunshine. I really like how Sunshine has portrayed struggling, failing, and persevering. But, the conclusion to this ep was lackluster, to me. It makes that Chika was really down, and stewing about it overnight didn't fix that. It was a great moment for her friends to remind her of her original motivations, to call upon her to continue for herself and for her friends. But no, her self-motivation and her bonds with her friends were proven insufficient, and it took every student at the school showing up spontaneously (again) to get her to change her mind. A lot of what I like about Chika is how her motivation to be a school idol is internal. She admires µ's a bunch, sure, but in s1 she moves past that. She wants to idol because she wants to idol. But now, it's all about the school? My impression was that that was the current goal of her idoling, but not the purpose. And, I guess she found a new goal/purpose in remembering the school, not that I think that's much better, but it's lame that it took a bunch of no-names yelling at her from the schoolyard to bring her around. It's like, 40 acquaintances outweigh 8 friends, which is pretty lame. And she about-faced in like 30 seconds. It felt cheap. I was really enjoying this ep, it was bringing back fond memories of the setback ep of s1, where they came together as friends and renewed their determination, but the conclusion soured me on it. In general, despite some really standout moments, I feel like this season is breaking the pattern of me enjoying each installment of LL more than the last.

I think it's less that Chika is obsessed with saving the school now but more that, as a character, Chika has always struggled to make herself feel accomplished in anything. Getting that zero in S1 was a heartbreaker and she tore herself apart over not being good enough, and that's largely the same as what's happened in this week's episode. It doesn't matter that they've made it to the finals now; their school is still getting shut down, and to Chika, that still counts as a massive failure both for the school and herself as a person. She's always trying to be the absolute best she can be, and when she doesn't manage to accomplish everything she hopes to, she blames herself and wishes she could have done better, despite doing everything in her power to make it happen Also, the "40 or so acquaintances" happen to represent the entire school of Uranohoshi, the very same school that Chika was beating herself up over not saving. The fact that the school itself is still giving her encouragement now, even during the school's darkest hour, means more to Chika than she could ever hope to imagine, and it's the perfect motivation for her to stay in the Love Live finals and win it all for the school, her friends, and herself (This is all coming from me realizing Chika is now my favorite Love Live character and absolutely loving this week's episode so take that for what you will)

I like Chika a lot, I've been feeling like she's been giving Riko a run for her money as my 2nd favorite sunshine. I just feel like I don't really know these randos. They show up to cheer occasionally, but we've barely seen them interact with our friends at all, that I recall. Maybe if we'd had more time spent on just hanging out or something. I dunno, it feels like I'm nitpicking or something, but the sudden turnaround just felt cheap. Maybe I won't be so sour on it on a rewatch.

I'm actually glad it was the randos giving the 'cram it down their throats' speech that was always destined to happen. It makes it feel like it's less these nine girls shouldering everything. Chika didn't seem like she had given up on idolin so much as still stuck on the thing right in front of her. Like everyone took a day to decompress and she decided that she wanted to fight some more somehow. I mean wasn't she wanting to fly to America earlier? There's probably a lot of ways of exhorting a school board that have nothing to do with singing and dancing.

I liked the episode but I thought it could have been better if the realization that they can still accomplish a lot for themselves and the school (regardless of the closure) had come from one of the members themselves instead of from all the randos.

It would have felt cheap with just the friends, I think. Chika has always worried about expectations, always wondered what it'd be like to have people believe in her. Of course the gang believes in her, they're her friends. It's the random students that prove chikas actually gotten other people to believe in her, all on her own. That even when she fails, they still trust in her. It's not that randos > friends, or that the students are a well drawn cast of memorable characters with a deep bond with Chika they're just what she needed.

In the meantime, you could consider checking the Love Live School Idol Diary manga if you haven't already. It's by the same writer and artist.

New episode was good up until the actual song.......... not that the song was bad but just made me acutely aware that "oh right, this is a media franchise, of course they wouldn't actually let Ruby & Leah have a song to themselves." Threw me completely off in the bad way

Yeah, I was a bit disappointed that it wasn't just them, but it was still good. I wish they'd had the insert song be just LeahRuby and then maybe also had an all-members version on the single. Only sisters and first years really needed to be in this ep aside from short bits. BUT it was still a fantastic episode with great character development for Ruby, great YoshiMaru background shenanigans, wonderful ABSOLUTE CONFIRMATION of Leah×Ruby, and many other very good things. I loved the intro to the song, with the flippy visuals and just the two of them.

Yeah, the song gave me Snow Halation level feels, and not just because of the same kind of setting. The costumes were on point too. I agree that it probably would've been better served with just the sisters (and maybe YohaMaru for a couple of lines, since that worked pretty well, plus a Chika bit or two to play off of the whole "lead of the group" dynamic she has with Sera), but at least that means we'll likely have the whole of Saint Aqours Snow (expected the name but it just doesn't really work for me for whatever reason) on stage for Third Live next summer. A-RISE never performed any of their songs live during a Muse concert, right? Anyway, some of the social media stuff alongside this episode I've been seeing on Facebook from fan groups reposting stuff from Furinrin's pages is great, with them hanging alongside the seiyuus for Saint Snow. The cover for the CD previewed also looks great, it's the two sets of sisters in profile, IIRC. Man, so many good insert songs this season, need to get both of those CDs if I ever get the chance...

I am flying back from Japan today but was able to catch the episode last night. At the very end there was a quick splash screen of a scheduled live concert in April 2018 in Hakodate where this episode takes place. And it would be a joint concert with Aqours and Saint Snow.
