| What an OVA, it was pretty much what I expected and more, 30 minutes runtime did feel a bit rushed at times, but the OVA was still short but sweet. We finally get to see Coco's Setsuna, and she delivered! Super excited for what's next especially with the announcement of 3 more theatrical releases!!! |
| My sweethearts. <3 Very good and wholesome OVA. :) Cute maid outfits. Lol at Aira. That facial expression. |

| I really want to eat Kanata's dishes, they were looking very delicious. Aira and Shioriko were very similar, and it must be Shioriko who bring Aira back on track. School Idol GPX, this will be the main topic for the new trilogy theatrical releases. btw, there were a lot of Easter Eggs from another Love Live series in this OVA µ's - UTX building, Akihabara Station, Kanda Myojin, Cure Maid Cafe Aqours - Numazu Products, Noppo-pan Liella - Harajuku, Takeshita Street Hasunosora - Kanazawa's Tsuzumimon Gate poster Spotify's links for the new songs https://open.spotify.com/album/5TC7PfR7DzArfyHw4HJU7j?si=5jcOQe1kQkSq3nx4DTcvvg https://open.spotify.com/album/3URTuaSBGB0HUlXCo9mmEp?si=QbUyTj3EQ0qLY91gqLJj2Q |

| Urgh, I'm sorry but the opening song was just awful. I always preferred jpop/j-idols because they almost never incorporate rap in their songs. I hope this doesn't continue. |

It's R3BIRTH's song. In case you never listened to their songs before, they are quite different from your usual J-idol songs. |

| As someone who absolutely loved S2 of Niji this OVA was good as expected, it just somehow felt a little off. The fast pace is a bit unusual for this gen and although obviously they had to finish the storyline in one episode I expected there to be a bit more focus on the new girl and Ayumu's relationship. Also I'm kinda not a fan of excessive "happy jingle" background music to the point where it actively starts to distract from the conversations the characters are having (pretty sure it wasn't THIS extreme in the two seasons). Anyway, I'm glad I was finally able to see the OVA and am definitely looking forward to the next few. |
| man was the CGI amazing it's too powerful now while short despite getting a 30min run time i wasn't expecting a new character voiced by Nao in it we need that S3 music was fun didn't top the tracks from S2 though |

| Amazing OVA. Hayashi Coco did great as Setsuna, even her singing felt like Setsuna! And the new character was voiced by Naobou aaa my heart!~ Everyone was so heckin cute, especially Shioriko with a ponytail got me 😳 😳 |

| Wait. Wasn't this supposed to be a movie about Ayumu going to England? I could have sworn it was firstly announced as a movie last year... Anyways, so-so OVA overall. Pacing felt weird and though Shioriko received some needed characterization, both Aira (or Isla?) and her relationship with Ayumu ended up being barely explored as a result. Songs were okay tho. I liked the first one involving Shioriko, Lanzhu and Mia way more than the last one with the whole club. 5/10 |

| Like many above, I was expecting movie-length content and it felt like that crammed into a 30-minute OVA. Rap at the start followed by that EDM track in the end, I thought I was watching D4DJ for a second. Isla-san was an interesting addition but there was hardly any time for us to acclimatise with her. And we got zero information about her friend in the UK. Seeing Shiori-san loosen up a little bit was pretty nice though, I was expecting more Ayumu-chan content in all honesty. Good ol’ Engrish accent too. |

| Just when i wasn't expecting any more for this OVA to be released on Crunchyroll as well, it finally appeared instead even if still sort of hidden. Great... because this was honestly amazing once again. Couldn't notice until logging in here the nice discovery that Aira is voiced by the beautiful Nao Touyama (same voice of Yukiho Kosaka), but after Yoko Hikasa's double role as Kaoruko Mifune and Lailaps it wasn't that surprising at this point. First the UTX and then the staircase that μ's went through during trainings, and that was already enough to make me cheer hard. Also other easter eggs to the following groups, but obviously the first two ones were my favorite. Kasumin's face when she got recognized by casual fans after it happened to Karin. Just... beautiful. "another apologies letter?" not gonna lie, i laughed at that moment and the following ones with the same theme, and that time of three years ago when almost everybody seemed to hate Lanzhu (myself included...) for the plot of SIFAS seem so far in the past now, even if her anime counterpart was never with the same difficult personality. Obviously enjoyed the focus on Shioriko that i found interesting at first and relatable / adorable almost immediately after and it was even better how she made an effort to light on after talking with the best girl (for me) Ayumu. Important hair cut? No, hair bun. Less predictable, it's ok. About the song, i was thinking... "is this a solo one? No. A R3birth? No, not even the subunit." But my favorite song was the one playing during the live action pictures with the at this point typical Nijigasaki art style for the ending songs. Even if it was a fakeout and the time run wasn't over yet. "Continues..." great. Nijigasaki girls are my favorite from the Love Live series after the OGs (μ's are seriously impossible to top), and after such a satisfying OVA once again i wasn't ready to greet them in anime adaptation for the actual last time. |

Good to see Touyama Nao is still voicing English girls with American accents to this day.
Other than visuals, the only good thing I have to say about this episode is that I liked the 2 ending songs. The other songs were awful. It also felt really rushed despite nothing happening for most of it.

| @CottonModem That is true. But a least her English is good. |
| Ehh.. I mean I only truly enjoyed Muse and Aqours, I can't really enjoy newer groups and seasons. To me, Muse and Aqours sound more like idols and their music sounds like it, sure rap is good but its a bit too modern?? I don't think new love live seasons are bad but I can't fully enjoy them, can't wait to play SIF2 on global version and play their songs (from all of them) :) |

| Nice short episode. Ayumu is back and with a foreigner with her. Isla was a nice girl, Touyama Nao voicing her too. I hope we get to see her in upcoming movie again, Penelope too. Was fun watching everyone again after a while. |
