| Umi dah~! :D Aww Rin-chan, you really are cute. So cute that not only Hanayo-chin, but also I want to hug you so tightly :3 That bullying, though :/ On a bright note, I got to see the five of the Muse in suits. My day just made~ |

| This episode was great Rin had some great character development this episode, she was alwas the funnest girl, but now I know she is one of the cutest too ;) Now I want a Nozomi episode, she has always been a mystery. Also a Hanayo episode would be nice. I spotted Jack (Nightmare Before Christmas) in the pv :D |
| Nozomi ep would be absolute fire. |
LittleStar said: Honoka this time you couldn't stop the rain xD True, but she got to perform a divine act that is probably more appropriate at this stage on her path to godhood: offering sage advice to her disciple Hanayo.

Also a Hanayo episode would be nice. I actually feel like, in contrast to Rin, Nozomi's character has received a reasonable amount of depth even though no episode has focused primarily on her. She's a little bit like Nico in my opinion. From the beginning she's been a bit of a jokester or comic relief character with her constant harassing of the girls, similar to how Nico's bitchiness has always been a part of her character and has always seemed intended more as a source of comedy than drama. At the same time, Nozomi has always played sort of a 'shepherd' role - even before she joined muse she offered advice to Honoka and co., and to Eli, and she's continued to do so after joining. It's similar to how Nico is in some ways more persistent about being an idol that Honoka. Nico has been the one to hold the group together even when most of the members gave up at the end of S1 as well as the one to try so hard to get Honoka to go for the love live at the beginning of this season. Back on track, Nozomi also has continually been hinted to be a person of diverse and maybe somewhat esoteric interests. I mean, she likes tarot cards, and she apparently has been to Antarctica. How many high schoolers have been to Antarctica? I'd like an episode focused on her, because I'd like to know more about her, but I don't think she really needs it. I don't really think Hanayo needs it either - she already got one, back in season one when Honoka and co. recruited her, and it was referenced in this most recent episode with her actions towards Rin. |
 |
| Completely agree. I wouldn't mind a non-development ep with Nozomi. I wanna know what she does other than fostering u's and doing shrine maiden shit. lol |
| Another character episode. Nice I suppose |
 |
| nozomi must have some secrets, love to them exposed |

It also made me appreciate Rin more, to see her in a dress. |
| Maki... hair over shoulder... win! So they build up for a fashion-show concert the entire episode... I'm laughing with disappointment right now. WTF?! They cut away from the performance and just played an insert song with pointless vacation pictures. What garbage... they could have redeemed an otherwise "blah" episode... I need to stop expecting so much from Love Live, this isn't AKB0048 after all. |
  |
| Dayum, Maki looked handsome with that suit, 10/10 husbando. And Rin is luv. |
 |
| Yay! Rin finally had some spotlight :3 Oh wait... what's this? *sees Maki-chan* *heavy breathing* |
I am currently breathing passionately on you trachea. |
| "Umi da!" Umi: "You shouldn't keep calling out a person's name!" I had to laugh haha. Also, Maki in a suit O__O Can't help but think of im@s Makoto <3 Ahh now I can't choose >__< |
"May those who accept their fate be granted happiness." "May those who defy their fate be granted glory." |
| This solidified the reason Rin is my favorite character. She feels the most "real and genuine" of the group and can relate to her struggles. And omgosh she was SO cute in that dress!!! X3 |
| Rin-chan is soo cute in this episode!! Love how this series is starting to develop each of the characters. |
 |
| Looks like Umi can't keep a poker face for sure. |
| Umi dahh!! Umi's expressions... That why Umi can't win I need Umi expressions for my new avatar, profile pic, etc.. etc xD This xD Rin is cute Cute is Rin Iku nyaaa~ What makes a girl more girly... A skirt!!! No skirt no life!! xD |

"Signature removed"   |
| Holy moly never thought Rin could be this cute *_* |
| I dunno. It felt like it was kinda forced on her. I really hope they won't use this chara-ep rotation so predictably until the end but at the same time I like how they are fleshing out those undeveloped characters. Still, it was enjoayble episode and I liked her look in wedding dress and how she wore skirt in the end. |
| I guess they were trying to cover the patches. I seriously believe that Rin and Hanayo have absolutely no purpose in this anime. I guess it is a good thing that they gave them some attention, but is was very forced- They didn't actually have a reason to give Rin temporary leadership (other than JUST CAUSE), so I originally thought it was a secret plan to balance their traits out. |
| Nice episode, Rin deserved some screen time, and she made a good leader, since she's the type to go with the flow and hear everyone else, she just needed to have a little more of confidence, and she did, she was cute on that dress. |
| I'm Rather glad they Did this as ever since S1 i always felt like Rin and Hanayo were just kinda out of place as they kinda joined in the heat of the moment (mind you this episode Focuses more on Rin but still) Ok so i could got into a rant into how a girl who has short hair Doesn't mean they look like a guy... (how anyone could think Rin looks like a boy is beyond me) Overall it was Nice, REALLY happy that they actually did a song For her at the end! |
| Argue? Nah Too lazy For That... Are You Ready!~Gulcasa |
| So great to see a Rin-centric episode! I'm so glad this season is focusing more on the other members. |
opondica said: I'm glad Rin finally got an episode that focused on her. She was the least interesting cast member, but only because the show had yet to giver her much attention. Yes, exactly how I felt! I liked Rin a lot more by the end of this episode and it was nice to see some more layers added onto her character. Watching her become more comfortable with herself and who she wants to be put a smile on my face. She looked so cute in that dress too. *o* |
| Character development, ahoy! Really liked this episode, glad to see some of the lesser-screentime characters getting special attention! It's all contributing to making the group a lot closer with each other! |
| Maki and Eri look cool in a suit. I don't like how episodic this 2nd season is becoming. They really need to get back to the plot. Developing characters is fine and all but using random mini-story episodes to do it is not a good method. |
 |
| A little while before the 11th minute starts, the music in the background becomes very Zelda-esque. Such a good episode, nice character development! Rin is so cute! |
 |
| Rin was adorable this episode. Love how self-aware she is. She rose quite a bit in my ranking after this. |
 |
| Thinks short hair makes a girl look boyish. Makes Hanayo wear the dress instead. ..... (I think she's plenty cute, especially in the end there) |
| -Kinda surprised (and kinda relieved) that the beach stuff teased in episode 4's next episode preview lasted for like a whole minute -So it's a Rin episode. I didn't like her recruitment story very much since I still don't know why she chose the idol group over some sports team, but her singing voice is my second favorite. -Kinda a role reversal from Hanayo's recruitment, with Hanayo and Maki being the motivators this time during the walk home. References to stuff from the previous season is always nice. -Honoka once again proving she's why she's the leader of the group by giving the other group members (the first years especially) a chance to act for themselves and grow in the process or something. -I thought the dressing room scene was very well done, mostly because I love the "you helped me now I help you" thing. I doubly loved it because they alluded to the moment Hanayo joined without overexplaining it, and they demonstrated that what Hanayo was doing by making Rin the center was basically the same thing that Rin did by encouraging Hanayo to join μ's. [Although I have no idea how the other members got changed into suits so quickly] -Rin did look pretty cute in that dress |
 |
| What a great episode. I completely understand how Rin feels. I'm not comfortable in dresses/skits either, sort of for the same reason too (although I was never made fun of for wearing them). It was great seeing her wear a dressier practice outfit at the end. I hope it will stick around :> |
 |
| This was definitely enjoyable and needed for an undeveloped character who didn't feel relevant at all during season 1, but I felt that it was forced so this didn't sit that well with me as much as I'd hoped. Rin's cute af in that dress. It was sunny outside IRL and then during one of the scenes with the second years, I noticed lightning, looked outside and lo and behold it was raining kind of heavily. It stopped as I finished the episode. Honoka's God powers are leaking... |
| The statement below is true. The statement above is false. |
| A bit too hasty the episode, as in the previous one, but at least it addresses the problem that links the persoanggio the past. However, although funny, cute and with a vein of melancholy, rest a bit disappointed for the hastiness put in to close the matter. Drawings and animations, very good. Rin is a character that deserves to be developed much better. |
 |
| Cute Rin episode. I'm glad we could see some character development. Rin finally faced her insecurities and looks much happier now. Another important scene was the origin of Umi's poker face meme. I liked it!  |
 |
| UMI DAH~! Rin episode! I'm glad they focused on her this time since she didn't get that much character development last season. It seems that Honoka lost her powers. |
 “Even if the attention isn’t forever, I’ll keep singing.” |
 Good episode with character development for Rin. |
 |
| Rin overcomes her feminine insecurity and wears a dress for the fashion show live :'( The 2nd year's trip delayed but they have a bit off fun at the end. |
 |
| Rin's expressions when they showed her the tress was gold lol Umi: why am i always loosing ME: cause of ur facial expressions (cause ur open book) lol |
