| Umi so cute when she's so embarrassed about their outfits and performing live |
 |
| Yeah, that was good. Sure, it was overly sentimental and very dramatic, but the build up to the song was great and it helped that I loved the performance and track itself. Love the main trio, though it seems that the cast is about to get much bigger. |
| This episode was quite moving, it was heartbreaking seeing nobody there but they had mental toughness to continue on and perform a great show. |
| I already liked Umi the most so the added moments with her in this episode were definitely welcomed. Regarding the audience being empty, my stomach dropped even though I expected it, but I wanted them to continue singing so that more people would arrive. Great buildup. You're gonna go far, μ's. |
| The statement below is true. The statement above is false. |
| Honestly, i was expecting very few people in the audience but the sight of completely empty auditorium was heartbreaking. But the girls absorbed the situation really well instead of crying they faced it like real professionals. |
 |
| I agree with OP about this episode being "meh." There was just nothing really exciting in this episode until the performance. The whole trying to Make Umi get over nervousness by handing out fliers plot didn't really excite me or make me laugh like the last 2 episodes. :/ |
| Insert awesome anime quote by my favorite character, here. |
| Umi-chan has the best voice in the trio so far The stage outfits are pretty adorbs C: |
| I wasn't too much a fan of the pacing of the first half of the episode but Umi is best so it kind of balances out. Also, the part where all of them just happened to show up in the auditorium was kind of weird but maybe it'll be explained. |
 |
| Re-watched because of Sunshine... the first live scene definitely had the most impact out of the whole franchise and even more so after their accomplishments by the end of season 1, season 2 and the movie. |
| “A grown man does not apologize. It lowers the value of his soul.” -Araragi Koyomi |
| Enough sugar in the narrative, but also nice to be reviewed when it comes down to it, with protagonists who put on a good show, I liked the first exhibition. Funny the story, the characters are cute. :) |
 |
| Umi complaining about the dress not being knee length while her uniform skirt is shorter than that. xD That empty hall was depressing. ;_; I'm glad the girls got some audience in the end. |
 |
| The moment when the auditorium was practically empty and Hanako still was motivated to do the performance is the moment I fell in love with this show. I love watching this performance over and over again. |
| Let’s say I posed this question to you: “Can all human souls be bought with money or not?” Now remember, the keyword here is “all”. The answer is “There are times when you can buy them, and other times, not,” right? The human being… sometimes he’ll uphold his pride and conscience even if he’s offered ten billion yen, and other times he’ll murder someone over one yen. ~Izaya Ohira (Durarara) |
| I felt sorry for them when nobody showed up, they did a good job performing. |
"At some point, I stopped hoping." |
| Whoa! Did you see? Samurai Buyer is selling exclusive items of Love Live Concert!! I got mine here: http://samuraibuyer.jp/ng/en_us/lp/bandai I can't wait for it to come!! Kyaa!! <3 |

| The month went by fast, but tough for the trio as well. After going through a lot of trials to become school idols and getting Umi over her stage fright, vegetable heads, and short skirts, it was absolutely devastating to see the auditorium empty... The first time I saw a screenshot of empty seats which was said to be from Love Live, I thought it was just a picture but damn was I wrong. When Hanayo managed to run from sporty Rin of all people (DAREKA TASUKETEEEEEE xD) to burst in a second before the 3 cried, I was so happy ♡ The feels only increased when all the other recurring characters attended the Start Dash! concert in one way or another ;~; Their dedication is inspiring and it looks like the first years will join in next! |
 |
| When they opened their eyes and no one showed up, I almost teared up. Though when Hanayo showed things changed. Loved their performance. Danced a bit to it. :) |
 |
| Best episode so far |
| The starting dash is always the hardest part but they will go on :'( |
 |
| i was thinking dam there is gonna be just few ppl watching & their confidence gets crushed for s while, but no there was no1 there to watch few came later, so it was bit worse then i thought other who were watching them should new say when talking to others u were so lame u missed out good concert to make them feel bad :) LhasAps said: Umi complaining about the dress not being knee length while her uniform skirt is shorter than that. xD the fears are pure comedy here so amusing lol joe_g7 said: I felt sorry for them when nobody showed up, they did a good job performing. same here i thought there are few what is still bad but there was no1 at first so worse then i thought that was almost as bad as NTR feeling i mean almost as bad as seeing NTR (the lvl of bad i felt for them) |

| Finally, some good Ramsay food.. Em, I meant anime.. ;p Really enjoyable so far, even if I don't know how to feel about some characters.. I think it's even for the better, that there are all kinds of characters, and I'm still to learn more about them.. Some are really attractive personality wise, art style is quite pleasing as well, to my taste.. Quite a positive anime, but not over the top.. Will look forward for more.. ;p |
| Confessing my love for Nozomi, she's wise but also a little nuts which is refreshing. Good pace so far. One thing I don't like is constantly having to adjust the volume because of how loud Honoka is when most of the others are softly spoken. |
| That audience reveal was brutal, but Honayo came to save the day :) I love her voice too. I really like how everyone was watching them in their own way. Nico popping her head out from behind the seat was cute haha. That whole last scene with the performance was great! |
| Well this is pretty good for a first concert. What a great turn of events. Stfu president |
 |
| I knew its gonna be a small audience but when it was empty it broke my heart. |
| Gosh, it was so sad to originally open the curtains with no one there! Really starting from the bottom. It makes you appreciate it when you succeed, though. |
 |
| Oh man, this was great and the urge to dance along was real. The girls have a clear goal now, this will give even more motivation. They don't really need it, tho, they're already awesome as their performance proved. 5/5 episode |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| Well, the moment when the curtains opened hit harder than what I was expecting. The concert wasn't bad at all; the cgi was bearable and Umi imo has the best voice. Edit: half a month later and I find myself completely in love with Start: Dash. Amazing song |

| It's funny how Umi is complaining about their dresses length since their school skirts are literally the same length lmao |
 "Please stop talking about math when I'm eating." |
| I've seen this ep a bunch of times and its still fucking hurt to see them emotional after knowing that less than 10 people actually went to see and support them. I mean its understandable that they just starting this idol thing but still. Thankfully instead of crying they take it as a motivation to move forward this is what i like about honoka, umi and kotori as a core of muse. Lastly i like to point out their outfit was pretty af and i think umi is the prettiest with that dress.Also their very first song and performance was amazing. |

| rip audience T_T well I guess the performance was great at least |
 |
| Good job, girls! I'm proud of you <3 Despite the lack of audience they did their best. That was a nice performance. Their outfits were also beautiful. |

| Oh lord I fallen into idol hell, someone save me |
   |
| really was not expecting a concert this soon, and seeing the curtains open with nobody there was heartbreaking. I'm glad they atleast performed anyway. |
| Who wouldn't feel teary eyed after watching this episode. The episode managed to create an emotional resonance within me. The effort and quality put into their performance then almost none of people showed up as they enter through the stage, I felt my heart breaking at that moment. Then Honoka stayed strong and decided to still perform despite the blunder. But who would thought that their performance will lead them with more meaningful encounters and new members. I love this series <3 |

| Has been years since I've seen this series, very happy I'm having a lot of fun rewatching it! This episode's heaps nice! Impactful how much heart they performed with for their small audience! Nico still stalking is heaps funny as well. This series knows the perfect pacing for different emotions. |
 |
| A great turning point for this series. Refreshing to read previous comments and discover i wasn't the only one comparing Umi to Mio Akiyama like i was already doing in 2017 (stage fright, no confidence) and she still didn't check out when it seemed all her efforts combined with Honoka's and Kotori's amounted to nothing after the curtains fell to just show Hideko, Mika and Fumiko and no one else. Oh, well, someone else was already there in the dark even before Hanayo became a unlikely hero, dragged Rin along with her and got the party started. Too bad my favorite girl is still heavily in villain mode, but OP and ED make very clear she will also contribute one day to fill every seat in the auditorium. (Maki's faces in the first part, adorable. And Hanayo's catchphrase debut. Yeah.) |
