I always feel like this show is so fast paced, but in reality these episodes just feel short because I enjoy them so much. Great episode as always. I love that it came back to the MC and her frustrations.

Whenever I see Saint Snow, I think of Nico's little sisters. Oh well, their performance is still lit! Reminds me of A-Rise.

Damn, what a feelzy episode. Trying your best and having nothing to show for it hits like a ton of bricks. Aquors was trying too much to imitate u's instead of following their own path. It's really encouraging to see how they're going to work their hardest even for that +1.

Their first competition in Tokyo turned out to be a heartbreaking reality check for Aqours, making them realize what it means to be an idol group in the upper echelons. They really tried their best and didn't even mess up their song but they, as much as I wouldn't like to say it, couldn't hold a candle to St. Snow's Self Control that actually ended up in only 9th place. It'd be fine if they left it there but finding out that not one person in that fairly huge crowd of idol-saturated city folk had voted for their performance was too cruel. I know that it's a matter of preference but 0... Even if they were last place they didn't deserve that.

The whole thing was so frustrating for everyone, especially Chika that she couldn't help but throw herself into the ocean in an attempt to run away from her feelings towards her situation and burst out crying the moment it caught up to her. I felt their pain too but it's good that the results of that contest became the cornerstone of them going all-out to be the best they can be while having some people acknowledge their skill along the way.

Ruby broke down on Dia and she finally revealed the Third-years' hopeful past as school idols that actually made it to Tokyo like Aqours did only to stay silent onstage in a tragic case of stage fright brought on by the overwhelming competition and the large crowd. Mari was the one who was hesitant to join them, with Kanan being the persistent one but the roles were reversed two years later. Mari reaching out for a hug from her best friend only to be coldy walked past was absolutely heartbreaking.

This was a dad episode. Feel bad for Aqours. Not only did they lose but they also got zero votes. Just sad.

Saint Snow performance was actually pretty good.

Saint Snow's performance was okay, though I didn't quite like the song.

0 votes was rough. It would've been great if they had had time to make new outfits or a song, but at least they got over their loss.

I liked that the seniors's idol experience was that they got, stage panic? Not sure what the term is but I'm glad it's not that no one went to see their concert.

Yohane's growing on me.
"I can finally say zura again"
"But you never stopped"
"ZURAAAA!!!"
It might sound annoying to some people but I found it quite charming tbh.

Yes, its frustating, god dammit! Its hurt. But its necessary for them to step up into another level of Aquors's endurance. They really needed to learn up the worse thing ever, and its succeeded to awaken their motivation into more higher than their current condition on there. Its nice! Thats was the reality, and i hope the girl had something to do to changed the result in their future event. Lets see, when the time being has arrived ....

What was interesting, its not only them to felt the pressure. Saint Snow had it on them. The third class, their previous School Idol group already did it and failed miserably too. She couldn't handle their feeling and decided to surrender after that. While Saint Snow took the damage naively, and began to chose a wrong path that led them into a negativity. They were too seriously, and forgot the real deal behind it. Its not really good for their continuations, rather performance, or their happiness.

However, the girls from Aquors had a different method. I feel the 6 of them succeeded to step up their broken feeling, and move on it into something positivity than ever. More importantly, for not took the damage alone. All members must received it in fair, no matter what. So, thats the new of them, for the sake of moving forward their ass into a good changed in the future. Nice path!

One of the girls that welcomed Aquors back to their hometown looks like Crona from Soul Eater.

Damn, Chika diving that late already? Isn't it too cold? I mean, does Sunshine!! take place during the warmer months? But still.

Poor Chika. Don't give up, girl! <3

This was a sad episode. Saint Snow's performance was pretty impressive.

Mari is like, "I just called to say I love you!~" °˖✧◝(⁰▿⁰)◜✧˖°

And Kanan is like, "Yeah, whatever." ( ︶︿︶)_╭∩╮

This episode lets you know the competition is fierce compared to before. The thing is (even though it didn't show it), the girls' performance wasn't bad whatsoever. So what gives? Zero votes!?

Leah doesn't exude personal warmth whatsoever. Bleh!

So that's why Dia didn't want 'em to be school idols. 'Cause she felt something like this was going to happen. The flashback of Dia, Kanan and Mari was pretty sad. You can see the excitement in Dia and Kanan's eyes and hear it in their voices.

Chika's breakdown was sad too. I know for her that's a spirit breaker. Riko's a good friend though, props to her. They haven't been friends for that long, but she's there to talk to and comfort her

If it wasn't for Yohane and You I'd definitely be rooting for Saint Snow right now lmao

Seriously though I'm glad that they got zero votes, that means things will finally get serious and we might actually see some effort put in. The first seven episodes were all nice happy "look how much fun being an idol is!" without really showing any of the work they need to be putting in.

On another note, I really wasn't expecting Dia to be the one to comfort them, and that flashback of when Dia, Mari and Kanan were first years really shows how much they've changed- It's almost like Mari and Kanan have switched personalities since then

The 3rd years for aqours are way better than the ones for muse imo, I can't wait to see more of them in the next few episodes and I hopefully can't wait to see some sort of training arc

lovely episode with lots of feels all around, poor girls <3

this is why dia didn't want them to try and go to tokyo because she, mari and kanan went through it already. and she just wanted to protect her little sister.

and good on chika to let it out and her friends being there for her!

a 0... place 30/30
It seemed to me that they were having everything on a silver platter since they were moving so fast, but 0 votes is an exaggeratedly brutal change at the rate they were having

Saint Snow is so good, wow! But so harsh afterwards, especially the whole kicking someone at zero further down thing, very harsh. Definitely feel the doing okay image for others. Episode with the hardest hitting emotions of the season so far, for sure, and with the best song so far in the season as well to raise expectations, this was definitely the best part of Sunshine!! so far.

Watched the episode at 2am, and its school tomorrow (god help me) and teared up quite a bit ngl. But i'm glad to see sunshine diverging further out of the og love live, but its always nice to have some sort of a 'mirror' plot and personalities that is based on the og.

And ahh, chika's line where she said that 'we did our best, and its still zero' hits hard back home.
