 |
| holy fuckin wow. This episode was absolutely awesome. u's finally meets with A-RISE. I'll be honest; I thought they were gonna be douches. I thought they were gonna try and steal members and shit. And when the leader proposed that u's use their own school as their stage, I thought it was gonna be some kinda trap. But that was far from the case. I'm glad to see that they're very friendly with their competition; they seem like cool gurls. I lol'd when Tsubasa complimented Nico as the "little devil" of the group and her reaction to it. Hopefully, I'm not speaking too soon. And let's not the not one but two...TWO new songs and performances we were blessed with this week. A-RISE's performance was motherfuckin edgy as fuck and well-animated. u's performance was something we all expected it to be, which was amazing. I can't stop saying how well the 3D and the 2D sequences are blended together. Love Live has come a long way as a franchise. Also, it looks like there will be different characters holding the white feather in the ED. Honoka was holding it last episode, and now it's Umi. Just a little observation. and with thatt preview tho: |
| A very good episode. A-Rise is quite likable. Didn't expect u's to meet A-Rise. I jump of joy when it happen. Love the rivalry between μ's and A-Rise. Magito said: That next episdoe preview is worrying thought. Who is resigning? And where are they resigning from? Really hope that's not the case because it will be like last season Kotori all over again. |

But it's important to remember that a movie review is subjective;it only gives you one person's opinion. http://www.classzone.com/books/lnetwork_gr08/page_build.cfm?content=analyz_media&ch=30 It doesn't matter if you like LoGH,Monster etc.If you are a jobless or college/school dropout living in your mom basement, you are still an unintelligent loser. Taste in anime does not make you a better person.If elitist don't exist, casual pleb and shit taste also don't exist. |
| Haha , awesome episode. A-Rise's performance was animated way better , guess it's easier to animate a 3 idols concert than a 9 idols one |
 |
| MUCH better than the previous episode. Partly for the TWO performances. Yea! New A-RISE song! |
  |
| I don't care for the style of A-RISE's songs. They always sound so busy and they kind of turn into gibberish with all the English they throw in. The tone of muse's songs are really uplifting and catchy. |
| A-rise's performance was amazing, our u's girls need to work even harder. And lol, Niko so fangirl in this episode. |
 |
| Does A-RISE have to do everything u's has to? Do they write their own lyrics, compose their own songs, come up with their own choreography ,etc? Or do they have like a powerful school supporting them and they are just the face of it. |
| 'I'm playing the role of Sonoda Umi' Best line of the episode. |
| There is no such thing as shit taste. Only idiots who think everyone should have the same taste as they do. |
| In Umi's mind Sexy Dress is quite hot ;) Poor people's ears' XD "Cute devil", yup that's a fitting description. Lol they are going to preform on A-Rise's roof :P I'm glad they showed A-Rise's performance and the chart was a nice addition. Their performance was good, but A-Rise wins this time in my opinion. |
| Good performances. Always entertaining to watch. Nice they got to meet their rivals. |

The only two things µ has are the financial support of Maki's family and the school's support from Kotori's mom. |

| Seeing A-RISE talk and sing makes me feel like a silly schoolgirl fangirling. They are just so awesome and they did it again with another enjoyable song. Damn they are the best. Was disappointed though that they didn't get a full song time and their clip was basically a short version. ArcanaTrace said: Magito said: That being said, does anyone think Erina's voice acting is really stiff...? Yup, that caught my attention as well. I guess Matsunaga Maho isnt used to voicing deep voice characters. It felt stiff and forced to me. Nonetheless her singing is awesome. Yeah i noticed that and i was slightly sad cause from the singing clip her voice was awesome and i love her look so she is my favorite but her voice actor didn't do really great in the talking section. Well the deep voice still sounds awesome but the acting needed work. On the other hand Tsubasa really stole the show this episode.

It didn't look to me like the school gave them the idol role at all, they seem to be doing that because that is what they want and enjoy. |

| I liked A-Rise's performance more. |
| A-Rise is amazing! Nothing more fair if they keep winning Love Live! |
 |
| That was an amazing episode! Seeing both A-RISE and U's performance was awesome. I can see a very healthy competition from both of them, and love how they both respect each other as rivals other than being complete snobs. Hope U's win! I'm cheering for them! |
 |
| Honoka is really a dumb and a silly person when she has to talk in the microphone. About A RISE: they the mature type idol µ's: the childish type ido, and for me they're nothing comparing with A RISE |
| A-RISE's performance wasn't that amazing as I expect. Maybe it's because the episode only showed a small clip of it while Muse's song fit through the entire episode. |
| Oh, Maki just blushed!! Deredere mode!! xD Little devil, Yazawa Nico!! Dat challenge.. So bold, and I like that xD Great songs... Not to mention those clothes And Nico's hair Nico nico niii~ = Mickey mickey nii~ xD |
"Signature removed"   |
| That episode just top the whole first season. Now I want an A-rise spin off of Love Live. |

| Two fantastic performances back to back. A-Rise really is awesome and I like how they are genuinely nice instead of just putting up a front. With A-Rise's show, I love how dynamic and intense they were. In contrast, I enjoyed how calm and soothing u's performance was. The costumes, the starry sky, the stage, and the serenity of that song gave it a dream like quality. |
 |
| Finally A-RISE and Muse have met! I've been waiting for this since season 1. It was weird, I was fangirling when Tsubasas, the leader of A-Rise, walked up to Honoka....I think the anime did well on building up the tension and excitement of A-Rise. It wasn't just another character in an anime, I felt like A-Rise was a real an anime idol group! Pretty weird lol. I really liked the beginning choreography of A-Rise where they're shaking their butts lol. I thought that part was really cute.....I hope only day we get to see a Muse 'sexy' performance. 5/5 Awesome episode. |
| Excellent episode, great songs! A-Rise were perfect, as always, their song was top! And I didn't believe it but µ's were even better, it felt like they are really having the fun, giving their everything to it. And that's what counts. Whereas A-Rise is already established group with its fans, µ's is this ugly duckling that's just turning into white-feathered swan. Star that is ever rising and ever shines brighter. They may have many things to improve and they lack confidence but their hearts are onto it and that's what counts. There is a reason A-Rise fears of their victory. And people loves stories of success. |
| Good episode, the A-Rise leader was cute when she dragged Honoka. Both performances were good. |
| I thought A-RISE was gonna turn out to be more antagonistic, but they're cool too. O: I liked Muse's live better though! |
| I don't know if it was just me, but from the very second A-RISE offered their venue to perform at I thought they were going to sabotage their performance. Not until the ED began was I able to breath a sigh of relief. |
| Why do I get the feeling that A-RISE are actually evil? |
 |
| Oh! SEXUAL HARASSMENT! That scene along with some others like the microphone scene had me laughing, this is shaping out to be a good season, probably even better than the first! A-RISE was great but μ's is still better :D |

 |
| A-RISE was.. out of their league. They'll be tough to beat but I love where this is going |
 |
| A-rise's outfits and performance was better imo. Loved their poses. |
 |
| That was a Great Episode. Both the performances were Good, but i think this time A-RISE's costume, lyrics and overall performance was way better than μ's. Hell their song was so catchy that it's now stuck in my head. |
 |
| -A-RISE gets names, which I think they only bothered to do in this episode unless I just totally missed it in the first season -Umi looks pretty good in a qipao -Broadcaster-chan has a pretty horrible reaction time between when Hanayo finished broadcasting and Honoka broke every -Once again it's really refreshing to see Honoka as her cheery and ambitious self -Members of A-RISE seem more personable than I expected them to be -The plot progression is also faster than I thought it would be -Nice to see another A-RISE performance, actually. -μ's insert song wasn't too bad either, and once again seeing Honoka be so ambitious is pretty great -ED theme was sung by all members I really liked how they gave screen time to A-RISE and that they don't seem to be the generic asshole rival. It seems like the side/supporting characters are getting a lot more screen time in this season than last, which is also kind of refreshing. |

| Not bad the twist in the second part of the narrative, brings more intensity to the story and finally makes concrete the A-Rise to the viewer, because they were so far only one entity without character and ideological connotations. Catchy and cute performance of the latter, but a little bit higher than that of μ's. Drawings and really superb animations during the second phase, on the occasion of the two ballets. |
 |
| "Sexy dress! Sexual harassment! Sexy dynamite!" poor Umi. lmao I liked how A-RISE praised all the girls (and made Niko look as the most useless one xD nice running gag). At first I was a little skeptical about A-RISE lending their stage to μ's, but looks like they really admire and somehow support Honoka and company. Note that μ's acted after A-RISE, so they weren't simply used as the top idols' opening act. Looks like μ's popularity was skyrocketing, but there were two resignation letters in the next episode's preview... I wonder what will lead to that situation. D: |
 |
| Great episode. Lol at nico sending flowers since she was a fangirl since a long time. The cute devil integral to the group indeed. Umi's shyness when it comes to sexy dress is cute. Happy to see 2 performance. A-RISE live up to their repuation and liked μ's performance. A-RISE may not looking like generic evil rivals. However, they're showing spirit with ulterior motives which is common irl. They're keeping good relations with μ's, but offering them to perform alongside them in UTX was to show them how good they are and have μ's awe-struck and a bit nervous before their performance which almost made its effect if it weren't for honoka standing up for the group and people from their school coming to show their support. |

| μ's vs A-RISE... Looks like things are going to be fun. I love how they complimented all of them except for Nico, instead they thanked her for the flowers haha. Shocking Party is so catchy ;; |
 “Even if the attention isn’t forever, I’ll keep singing.” |
| Awesome episode. Two performances in one. Loved both songs. µ vs A-RISE is just starting. A-RISE members seem cool and respect µ. I like them. |
 |
| A-Rise welcoming muse and even let's them use their school's roof as a stage along with them :O Both performances were great, the different genres make it a personal choice rather than if one was better or not. |
 |
| its just fun to watch when some1 suggests new sexier outfit & Umi is like i don't want to where it its just funny & amusing (this time they showed Eri like that to what was just+) lol i just cant get enough of their reactions lol |
| Shocking Party is the best piece so far imo. It beats even Private Wars. No idea how can μ's rival with that. |
| It's an absolute wonder to get to watch another episode ♥ I even got way more than I expected. In addition to the funny clumsy u's moments like their LL announcement and them considering dressing sexier to increase appeal, they had their first real encounter with their true rivals in the school idol gig and it was great. I really wish that I can go to a school that's just like UTX because why not~ I really liked how they acknowledge each of the member's strong suits and the deceptive suspense Tsubasa made when she started to address Nico who fawned over them as a result. The two performances were very different in nature but I can't help but love both of them to death especially A-RISE's song. I've seen the video of it several times but getting to experience it in the series itself so early into the anime made me freak out and fanboy like I never did before since the song's catchy as hell and it felt like I was actually watching celebrities live. u's performance was on-par with the other performance on its own terms by showing that they really put passion into their singing and giving those who listened to it a warm pleasant feeling of hope. The beautiful starry sky really helped them out too lol. The battle has been announced and may the best group win~! |
 |
| A-Rise performance was much better than mu's this gonna get more interesting |
 |
| Cool they get to meet A-RISE personally. Yeah A-RISE's songs are an absolute banger but Muse will surely catch up soon |
 |
| I was wondering when they'd finally meet A-RISE. This sets up for the future episodes nicely. That was a beautiful stage and so were their costumes! I think that's my favorite Nico hairstyle so far haha. |
| First half was pretty funny, but it got really good when A-Rise appeared. They're some nice rivals and kick ass on stage. μ delivered with their performance too, tho. Loved it and can't get enough:D |
