| AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA Liella! got the first place. It's time for the national. LETS GOOOOOOOOO hahaha crybaby raging sore loser Wien. She should admit her loss. She is also kind of a dork, somehow. But, yeah, she was so serious about the competition because if she won she will get a higher chance to get a letter of recommendation to the school she wanted to attend. "imi wakanai" hmmm.... This sounds sooooo familiar. Kanon got a transferring offer to Vienna! and we also got a character named Wien. The staff really love Austria. oh... god, oh... Chisato, it was a cliffhanger ending again. I hope no one will leave in the end. Or, they can give the letter of recommendation to Wien instead. And, maybe, we will get another airport scene in the next episode as well. |

| I knew it! Congratulations, girls! ^^ <3 |
 |
| Last 3-4 episodes have been peak love live man. Easily best season. Im so happy for the girls. All that time and effort they put in since episode 1 season 1 has finally paid off. But it’s a testament to how talented Margarethe is that she was able to get this far on her own whereas liella had each other. It’s gotta be so humiliating for her to basically have to learn from Kanon and convince her to go to Vienna. I really do feel bad for her. Chisato coming to her aid and trying to convince kanon was a nice twist, can’t wait to see how that plays out next week. Also, sumire calling natsumi a filthy money grubber had me dying lmao, love my girl. |
 |
| A deserved win~ And the after-effects were just as expected lol. Salty Wien, fuming netizens. Also chair and bottom-center-of-the-pyramid Kinako demonstrates her unmatched support skills. |
 |
| Margaret have her problems, but I like her. And was strange see her on the same ground level as Kanon. I'm thankful that Chisato was there, to learn the situation, and encourage Kanon, that's the bestest friend someone could get. If LL Superstar get a movie, I'm all in for Kanon and Margaret school life in Vienna. But maybe will be the LL finals. |
 |
| Knew the girls would win, kanon not wanting to leave her friends and study abroad is understandable, it will be interesting to see how Chisato can change kanon's mind |
| oh my god. oh my god... |
| congrats on winning Love Live! as 9 members, Liella! 💗 Right of the bat, Kanon got an opportunity to study in Vienna, Kanon refused it but Chisato wants Kanon to study abroad. I wonder what will happen next episode 😭 I am not ready to take the answer in yet |

Man i expected liella will win, i mean they're the mc's but still im disappointed wien loses, i kinda hoped sunrise will pull twist. Hot take but me and my friends genuinely thought that wien performance is way better from the orchestra composition and the dance, and for liella i like the previous episode song better. Not trying to start a war tho love liella too, just expressing my thoughts...  |
| Well I do feel bad about Margaret, yes she was salty and annoying but she's just suffering from her family conditions in the end, it's clear that she isn't mean for real... and now Kanon has the opportunity to study at the school in Vienna that Margaret was aiming from the beginning where her family is and the only way for her to join it is to go with Kanon if she decides to join it... of course Kanon wouldn't agree but since Chisato knows about it she's telling it to everyone, I wonder how it will turn out, only one episode left (and it does feel cursed like for the first Superstar season, a Love Live season with 12 and not 13 episodes lol) |

| So Margarete's backstory is effectively the same as Eli's from SIP, except she chose to perform as a school idol while looking down on them rather than saying "no school idols" as Eli initially did. Honestly, that works, but I can't help but feel that Margarete ended up being kind of lame as both a character and plot device after her Butterfly Wing performance. And if they were going to point out that she lost at least in part cos she shit-talked the entire competition, there's no way in hell she would have come in second if that was really such a big deal. Speaking of things being a big deal, why is the Vienna school offering Kanon a place based on Liella qualifying for the Love Live nationals? If something like this was going to happen (as it's an interesting development in isolation), wouldn't it only happen after they actually won the tournament? Have the writers gotten confused about what Liella have actually accomplished so far, as this really doesn't make an awful lot of sense to be happening now? And while I'm sure Chisato means well, I don't like that she's so eager to get rid of Kanon just because she heard Margarete's "sob story", especially when this is the first time any member of Liella besides Kanon has interacted with Margarete. Also, fuck Margarete's family in this situation: what kind of parents basically gamble their daughter's future on a stranger accepting an out-of-the-blue offer? |

SHINN0X said: Something similar already happened at the end of S1 when Liella lost to Sunny Passion. And while I do agree Wien's performance was better in an artistic sense - the stage was beautiful, she's def one of the better singers in LL - personally, I feel like she failed as an "idol," and ultimately they are competing in a competition for idols. It's not The Voice or XX's Got Talent. As of now, Wien definitely seems like a great artist, but not an idol imo.Man i expected liella will win, i mean they're the mc's but still im disappointed wien loses, i kinda hoped sunrise will pull twist.

Atavistic said: I didn't interpret it as them extending the offer because Kanon qualified - I personally saw it as maybe they started following the competition closely (perhaps because of Wien), and Kanon's skill or potential caught their eye. How recruiting works for like sports too. Doesn't matter if a player's team doesn't win - scouting focuses on the individual.

| The girls won, congratz. Wien's such a sore loser. Even considering her situation she's still annoying. Why does Chisato want Kanon to study abroad, for Wien's sake? |
 |
| Margarete is pretty full of herself and I agree with sumire and she reap what she sow. I'm glad that they won. If this was the real world she would've been cancelled after the amateur comment. We get to know her reasons too and it's karma that it was kanon who got the scholarship to the vienna school. I'm with chii-chan in this and kanon should go after the love live finals. ps. I'm pretty sure that margarete older sister is a school idol fan. |
| A bit of a spin on the usual will she / won't she leave the rest to broaden her horizon, instead Kanon is adamant about staying but is Chisato the one that feels she is taking the wrong decision, it is probably going to be movie plot but I would love a S3, this is for sure the best group of girls with the most entertaining episodes of all the franchise so far. |
| Not really surprised that Liella took the win, but I was suprised that Margarete lashed out like that. Chisato is also siding with Margarete by trying to make Kanon transfer to Vienna so that Margarete can too. Maybe its out of sympathy? |
 |
| Of course they would win, a well deserved win. So there will be a season 3. Margarete's parents wants her to learn from Kanon, if Kanon is not going to study in Vienna, they'll just have her her study and join Liella instead. Sounds like a good setup for a 3rd season. A third season will also break Sunrise's tradition of 2 season plus a movie for the main Love Live! franchise. |
 |
| Cute and chill episode. Margaret is such a cutie. |
| Liella made it and are finally going to nationals, it’s great to finally see after how season 1 ended, but I didn’t expect for Margarete to protest on stage to the audience lol, but getting to learn more about her this episode definitely made me like her more if not just for her performances and challenging Liella. I also like that she didn’t immediately ditch her stand off-ish personality, when Kanon and Chisato confronted her she was not into letting them know what’s going on. And with Kanon being asked to study abroad, it seems she might actually accept it but thankfully she turns it down, but surprisingly Chisato says she wants Kanon to go, which I’m guessing is because of Margarete’s situation. I’m betting since they want Margarete to learn from Kanon it will end up being the other way around with Margarete joining Liella, but I could see it going either way too. One episode left, I can’t believe we’re already at the end of Season 2 of Superstar, it’s been a fantastic season filled with absolute jams just like the first season, and adding more girls didn’t hurt it any like I thought it might. It’s gonna hurt to see it go once again next week, I really hope for a 3rd season. |
| Damn, Kinako living the dream while being the base of that Idol pyramid. Totally not jealous of her. But man, Margarete is such an annoying sore loser. And Chisato wanting Kanon to go to Vienna because of Margarete's sob story smh... Also, why is people acting as if Superstar is rewriting the franchise when this second season is practically more of the same? And if anything, Nijigasaki should be the one taking that title given it kinda introduced the concepts of solo-Idols and sub-units (in anime form, at least). |

| Teamwork is very important after all. Now then some good ol' study abroad drama |

| Liella is now somewhat of collective Kasuga Kyosuke |

The first was during the first season but they withdrew after ranking 19th because of what happened to Honoka. A-RISE eventually won that tournament. Their second shot was on the second season where they won that tournament beating A-RISE in the finals. The first Love Live! tournament was popular that they had to do a 2nd tournament at the same year after the first tournament. There was a 3rd tournament which was mentioned on the movie where μ's particiated as a guset or some sort but not as a competitor since they disbanded after the graduation of the third years. I still believe there will be a third season with either Margarette joining them or not. I don't really see them wrapping up the Liella story in just one episode or a one episode plus a movie and I'm not buying this Kanon going to Vienna to study drama. A third season will be more logical since that's where they will insert the graduation drama of the third years and the group deciding to disband or continue on. We may get a movie to cap off the Liella story just like what they did to μ's and Aqours. |

And if anything, Nijigasaki should be the one taking that title given it kinda introduced the concepts of solo-Idols and sub-units (in anime form, at least). A few reasons: 1) Nijigasaki is actually a spin-off, and not technically part of the "main franchise." They're more of a side project: started as PDP, meant purely for a game ("we won't turn it into an anime," they said), then eventually made into an anime. 2) Nijigasaki writing (the anime) would be unique writing if it had writing lmao. Personal opinion, obviously. By far the worst LL anime in terms of directing. And now as to why people consider SS to be "rewriting" the franchise. Personally, I'm not sure I would go that far but I do think that SS has the best writing in LL and has subverted many LL tropes while keeping some e.g. student president shenanigans

| after announcement of a third season, i was thinking Liella would have lost and these last two episodes were about having internal conflicts between 1st and 2nd years with a cliffhanger in the season finale focused on soldiering on for a final attempt. Wrong answer. And Wien being such a salty sore loser was involuntary fun to watch, Kanon was great for scolding her. Having the girls cheering with "Kanpai" was something for me after a fresh watch of last season of Cobra Kai. It was nice to see another bench scene as Honoka did with A-Rise leader in a similar occasion. Oh no... another trip far from Japan, but... at least this time the rest of Liella discovered it immediately, and everything seemed to end nicely after Kanon declined. Chisato, what you're doing? |
 |
| Wien was right. She was the best. The audience was wrong. The girl has crazy talent. SHINN0X said: me and my friends genuinely thought that wien performance is way better from the orchestra composition and the dance Wien was correct that it was inconceivable she lost. I would even say it was rigged. She is breathtaking, like a one-of-a-kind global diva. |

| I didn't think Chisato would ever let go of Kanon by her side as she was her childhood friend that she was always the one she looked up to since they were kids. This is getting exciting. So that's probably why we get a 3rd season, or I hope that's the case. Love Live's girl groups never left their country to go to a foreign one, if I can remember correctly. This is getting exciting. I'm hoping Liella get another girl in their group and she will be Wien. |
| It's not that I dislike this genre but... to add unnecessary fan services to/in/for heroines and ultimately destroys her character and personality; their purity tarnished because of it, is the only thing I hope to not happen to them. For that sole purity is my fan service. |
| Wien is a sore loser lol, and her story really lines up with Itoshi Rin. She also said the legendary imi wakannai so that, along with her character and singing leaning towards a diva, makes her like Maki in my eyes. It's also interesting how Kanon's argument - singing as a group is better than singing alone - contradicts with what Nijigasaki has been establishing for the past years. Anyway, during the part where Chisato said she'd buy drinks, she sounded like Nijika (praise be) from Bocchi. |

| Wien had the better performance. She should have won. But because she wasn't some shining bastion of positivity like Liella, she lost. Wien is pretty right in calling Love Live amateur, since no performance art that wants to be taken seriously actually uses fan voting to decide the winner. Seems like Wien lost mainly in that she was in the wrong competition to begin with rather than her having any problems in her performance and approach to music. In that sense, there's not really any direction for her character to go moving forward in terms of how the story affects her art, which is where her goals and motivations lie. |
