| Idol's rap battle, that was pretty cool. Red + blue = purple, which is Liella's color. In the end, they all win and Liella is now Lie11a. Sumire's Gusokumushi returned lol.  From two to eleven   |

| Maybe the most entertaining episode so far in this season. Touching Natsumi/Tomari moment. I'm glad they really made up after all. Beautiful performance. I can't wait to see the Love Live! competition. They look so awesome together right now. |

| There was a nice amount of drama and some real emotion during the creation of the song. The performance was amazing, I loved the back and forth that transitioned into them all singing together at the end. A bit of a simple resolution with everyone in the school voting for them to join together but obviously it was to be expected. Can't wait for more 11 member Liella in the upcoming Love Live. |
 |
| With Margarete already softened after living with Kanon. The only one with a problem was Tomari. Kanon always on standby. The heart-to-heart between Natsumi and Tomari was great. Perfect song for the fusion. |
 |
| THE SONG WAS INSANE. Probably my fav group insert song in the LL franchise so far. I'm also glad they let Margarete keep some of the rock vibes from her pre-written song. While I was looking forward to having a winner come out (I guess I'm just really competitive), this outcome does make sense tbh. (I know a Kpop group that was initially boycotted/faced a lot of backlash for their initial concept of having fans vote for which members would participate in songs - the fans were upset and didn't want those kinds of dynamics and in-group tension, so the group quickly abandoned that concept. So this definitely seems plausible) |
 |
| AHHHH ONE OF THE BEST PERFORMANCES AND SONGS FROM LIELLA NO DOUBT!! I love the seamless transition from the two groups competing to merging as one unified Liella with the outfit change, it was so smooth! The visuals were gorgeous too, Love Live has genuinely never looked better than this season man it’s insane how good everything looks. I’m so happy Natsumi and Tomari are back being close and talking about everyday mundane things again. That was kinda symbolic of the two groups being distanced as well. With them making up we were finally able to turn the page and start a new chapter as a group of 11! That “please let me in your heart. I just want to keep talking to you forever, because I love you, Tomari” got the tears flowing. Even Margarethe couldn’t hold back lol Speaking of our purple haired tsun tsun, you can tell Margarethe was so happy to be praised by Kanon there at the end lol. She was speechless!! I’m still just so shook because this was genuinely one of the best idol performances I’ve ever seen. Can’t wait to be able to listen to it on Apple Music. |

| My favourite episode of the season so far. Really sweet seeing Tomari and Natsumi finally make up and the performance was simply beautiful. |
| i really liked bubble rise and the other songs but god damn was this good ass song and we got all the cheese love live moments we have come to love nice to see the rival arc is over it was the worse kept secret by everyone in the show lol 2-11 Margarete being the first to fold over was not on my bingo card she was always a tusndere from the start but Tomari's stubbornness took a lot of effort to crack |
 |
| This episode completely rendered the awful 4th episode redundant by doing a much, much better job of establishing and developing Natsumi and Tomari's relationship, on top of doing so much to progress the story in other ways as well: it really does feel like episode 4 was just a complete waste now when that time could have gone to something else (and instead we could have had this episode a week earleir than we have done). Complaints about episode 4 aside, this was another excellent episode to continue the perfect record of episode quality since then with quite comfortably the best song (both musically and visually) of the season so far. A very satisfying way to finally bring the 11 members of Liella together as one. |
| The song and performance was amazing and probably the best for the season or even for all of Superstars so far. |
 |
It was pretty sad to see the Onitsuka Sisters morning routine with them acting so distant, loved the start of the song with Margarete throwing punches and the lighting from her fingers and with that ending.  This is probably my favorite performance. |

| Perfect!!! This ep was exciting and their clothes were pretty cute 100/10% |
Hello! Have nice day!!  |
| Well I can definitely say that was an absolute banger of a performance, hands down one of the best of the series, I didn’t know how the two groups doing the same song would actually play out but they did it masterfully, I really loved that it was like a dance-off between the groups at first and ended with them joining together, which was of course representative of the story up to this point, and the song itself being more rock-like was fitting too. Now all that being said, unfortunately I didn’t find the way they joined the two groups together very satisfying, in the previous episode Tomakanote doubled down on defeating Liella, but this episode things went a completely different direction when the students of the school forced the two groups to do the same performance, and then at the end didn’t even pick a winner because THEY think they should be one group. Well I personally think that’s pretty bullshit lol, it doesn’t matter what all the fans want, when artists don’t want to work together then that’s that, it doesn’t matter how great it would be or if that’s what should happen, in the end it’s the artists’ decisions, believe me when I say there are many bands that have broken up that I’d love to see get back together, but reality isn’t like that unfortunately. So yeah I think joining the groups together could have been done a lot better, of course it was incredibly obvious to see coming since episode 1, but they couldn’t stick the landing imo. You also had the fact they made two from each group write a song together, um I’m sorry I don’t think that’s how a competition works lol, would have made a lot more sense for them to battle with their own songs and performances, yeah what we ended up getting kicked ass but I would have liked an actual battle of the bands more, or maybe I’m thinking too hard about the cute idol anime lol. But with all my gripes out of the way, this was still a great episode, I can’t watch Love Live and be upset after all, it’s just not possible lol. This one also had Tomari and Natsumi finally settling their differences which I really liked, might’ve been a bit cheesy but it was great nonetheless, and the short bit of school festival shenanigans was nice too, Ren in the witch outfit was super cute, as was the return of isopod Sumire, these two have unfortunately been a bit shafted this season too so I’ll take any content on them at all lol. And I guess from here we get to see what the 11 member Liella can do, I’m excited to see it, tho I will miss the group rivalry. |

| Aww, Natsumi's declaration of love/affection to her little sister got me so emotional, it was so beautifully written. The ending of the episode was kind of what I expected, but it was still very cute :) |
| Tomari was really asking to be bitch-slapped this episode. Like come on, show. Other girls in this franchise got slapped for less... Well... that was shit. They didn't have the courage to stick to the "rivalry" premise they themselves set for this season till the end, and instead went for the most predictable/cheesy/bullshit outcome possible. Now that said, I wonder if Margarete hit her head or got amnesia mid-season because I seriously can't understand her character. How come she was okay with this lame result? How come she was okay with everything prior to this joint recital they shamelessly called "competition"? |
| Wooooo they really cooked with the song. It does help that I like rock and its the genre I was waiting for them to do (nice foreshadowing by Margarete lol). Also feels like the successor to No Brand Girls so there's that. Definitely the one I'm most looking forward for them to perform live. Story-wise, the only part that didn't felt right was how they brushed off Margarete's competitiveness. Though I guess its one of the things that could be better if one were to watch the series in one go and also not consider irl stuff. |
| An admin's dickhead Soul banned me from MAL t('v't) |
| apart from Wien suddenly stopping her hostility midway through in a way that seemed forced, this has been a top tier episode for Liella in general. Natsumi's sister hostility finally stopped too, and small detail on the side it was interesting to watch how a girl from the series actually worked into making a song apart from writing demos on piano or guitar. "i went too far" FINALLY. "This is unfair. Do you know how much i was concerned for you?" (weird way to display it) "they're such weirdos but still beautiful sisters" "why are you crying?" "you're one to talk..." and Kanon watching all of this from afar like it was Yuki Suou from Roshidere but without the evil smile. She may be difficult to deal with, but Wien's first instrumental idea of a song could have worked out for me. "This isn't a idol song material". Sorry, Mei, but... look up for Self Control or Believe Again by Saint Snow, and think again. The opening of the festival had two hilarious moments... Ren doing the cute little witch introduction was wonderful, but at the same time it made me think "wait, this isn't the Ren everyone knows" and in fact... "Why am i doing this? It's embarrassing!" Cut to Sumire doing something similar... why are you pointing out the costume you're into? Did Keke forced you to wear it in your sleep? Lol. The song... abruptly changing clothes midway through when the chorus kicks in, ok... symbolism... but the first part musically was actually pretty strong, including the 1-2 punch by Wien as choreography. Finally, this dumb separate groups thing is dead, and it was satisfying how everyone else at Yuigaoka, and not just Kokono, Nanami and Yae, was pointing it out exactly. i've seen this happen way too often for the pettiest reasons in the last ten years of minors league basketball in my nation, i played for a team that began existing in the early 90's exactly because as a single entity it would have become stronger (and it did, arriving to play at the 4th level in the best years for almost a decade) even if now it has unfortunately almost faded in present day for other reasons. |

| Well, we all knew it was going to end this way. I know it is impossible for the group to change it's name, but having the name Liella even tho "2 different groups" are forming it is kinda boring, also I really liked the name Tomakanote, it sounded so funny lmao Rant: I fucking HATE the direction this episode it took during the Natsumi and Tomari reconciliation scene, it was like watching a fucking yuri anime, THEY ARE SISTERS DUDE, WHAT THE FUCK, that was the most important moment and they fucking ruined it, like im every fucking Love Live season, it's so sickening. The rest of the episode was all good, great even, so why are we making the sisters reconcilation look like a fucking romantic love confession? Fuck off. Rant over. Anyways, I love Natsumi, and Kinako, and Shisato, AND REN, WITCH REN CAME OUT OF NOWHERE, I LOVE HER ❤️❤️❤️     The song was absolute peak 🔥🔥🔥 Probably the best one yet from Liella!. |
Sorry if my english is bad (っ˘▽˘)っ~~~ Btw, cry about it.  |
| Nice song, but the conclusion of the groups conflict was disappointing... We all knew from the opening that they will join together, but if this was draw, then why was it natural for One group to eat the other? I hoped the small group would have 8 other members joining under their name or in case of draw they would create a new group with new name, but of course, name Liella has the money fore the franchise, so they forced it to stay without any discussion... There should be some side conflict or something about how they decided to stay with this name and not the other... |
 |
| Natsumi's issue with her sister has been resolved just before they sang together that was emotional... and turns out they all won and will perform at 11 next time! Liella is finally fully formed!! |
 |
| This season is a pain. S2 was also a big pain because they constantly made up problem that are not exist just to make them yepping on nothing. I don't know why they want ruin this series so badly. Just Let Kanon team win agains Liella!. Let them do the love live event alone. It would be that simple. But no they want force them together. We don't even got a proper fight between the 2 team. it's like a split in face. They totally throw the good concept of the season to the trash can for nothing at all. 0 reason for Margarete accept this shit. I didin't wanted but probably drop the score to 6, At this point this is OG love live level shit. I guess after all sunshine gonna kept the best love live series title. (Cuz i can't expect to much from Niji either) Fot this season "Agree dekimasen" |
| it was so obvious, but what a cop out. |
