Maru made Dia go crazy in the Azalea CD and investigated Aliens with her. So that's something.

Yeah, I'm probably selling her short. She's got "stubborn about stupid things" which is potentially very funny.

Love Live is good and so is the Sun because it gives us life so I look forward to watching the anime after it has finished airing.

I was hoping that Crunchyroll would have the license for Sunshine since they had the first series. Not looking forward to Funimations site.

but even so, nature finds a way.

The first episode is charming as heck. Chika is a good lead, Dia is wonderfully angry, Riko is cute, Yoshiko has the best chuuni voice, and Ruby's introduction give me some hope for her. It's all super pretty. The animation seems comparable to second season OG LL, but seaside backgrounds have a much higher threshold for prettiness than the city. The CG is acceptable; it looks to be at about the same level as OG s2, but with more skill used to mask its weaknesses. It's interesting to see the differences between the anime and manga. They don't seem as pronounced as with OG LL, but it definitely gives a bit of a different impression of some characters.


Dia :love:

Dia hurting her hand slamming down the form and Chika laughing at her was probably my favorite scene.

Quick first episode reactions:

You is a very good friend.
Hanamaru: zura.
Ruby isn't as grating as I feared she'd be even considering that reaction.
RIKO WOW well then
Kanan might be a bit older than the other two third-years?
Mari's brief amount of personal music seemed neato. I hope that keeps being a thing or at least gets extended.
Dia has Nozomi's wind powers.
Chika you precious dorky child.
Yohane is as perfect as I was hoping.

Live thoughts post:


Missing the bus is never a good way to start a term.

Student Council pres on that antagonist role again.

SHE HAS HER OWN HELICOPTER.

I too break the ice with talk of idols.

Chika is incredibly eccentric, but extremely honest.

Start:Dash is such a good song.

Dia don't hurt yourself.

You is such a good friend.

:rip: Application form.

Otonizaka sure has some top tier music talent.

I like you Riko.

Hand in haaaaaaaaand

CG much smoother in this than early Love Live; practice pays off.

Straight shot down in the happiest way I have ever seen.


Aqours is good. This is going to be a fun ride.

[11:22 AM] Aznu: immediately talking about miracles
[11:23 AM] Aznu: i hate this already
[11:23 AM] Aznu: DOUZO
[11:23 AM] Aznu: Cafe Fraisier
[11:24 AM] Aznu: i thought you said the cg gets better in s2
[11:24 AM] Aznu: this looks bad

[11:28 AM] Aznu: 'oh?"
[11:28 AM] Aznu: "these bitches look a lot like some of the muse girls!!"
[11:29 AM] Aznu: sekuhara

[11:29 AM] Aznu: the chuuni just fell from the tree and landed on her feet without reducing any of the shock
[11:33 AM] Aznu: chuuni's voice doesn't fit at all
[11:33 AM] Aznu: ah, she broke her legs
[11:33 AM] Aznu: she'll be crippled for the rest of the season

[11:34 AM] Aznu: how the gently caress did this girl remember yohane from kindergarten

[11:35 AM] Aznu: ah yes, the studen council president gets in the way of creating the club story element
[11:40 AM] Aznu: wow
[11:41 AM] Aznu: the exact same story beat, beat for beat
[11:42 AM] Aznu: i bet the mc is secretly into it because she's all like "finally i can emulate my idols down to the exact origin"

[11:43 AM] Aznu: this show would be a lot better if the mc was secret yan and just manipulated everyhting to be exactly like muse

[11:48 AM] Aznu: "wow you can compose music that's pretty cool hey do you want to become an idol"
"there are lots of famous groups in tokyo! have u heard of muse our lord and savior?"
"no who's that?"
[11:49 AM] Aznu: plot twist, it turns out muse and the orig love live were all a fever dream by the mc
[11:50 AM] Aznu: "it'll make you say oh my goodness! here look at this video on my phone!"
"they look..."
"yeah?"
"they look very cg"

[11:58 AM] Aznu: i unironically did not like this at all
[12:00 PM] Aznu: the whole fangirling over the original love live is legitimately gross

look forward to my future episode recaps every week!

OP cg >>> insert song CG imo.

Though I do agree in wishing they hadn't retread the "student council prez is the roadblock to establishing the idol club" beat. I can't immediately think of something to replace that though.
