| Didn't expect Dia to be a µ's fan LOL and deym loli Riko is so adorable. Gonna love Rikyako's singing voice now. |
| Kitan~! |
| Thoughts while watching the episode: -Like someone said earlier in the thread, the beginning kind of felt like a Your Riko in April flashback -The camera's focus on Riko's neighbor's house toward the beginning of the episode made me think that she was a neighbor to one of the μ's. -Chika's impersonations of Riko were pretty funny, actually -Just noticed this but I think I like the aesthetic of the Uranohoshi student council room better than the Otonokizaka one. -Kinda weird decision to intersperse the Hanamaru/Ruby scene and the Dia scene -Hanamaru has a pretty heavenly talking voice (as well as a heavenly singing voice) -Yohane MIA -Riko explains the motivation behind her school transfer, which is nice. -Loved the scenery of the diving scene when it was overcast -Huh, so Chika lives with her two sisters, it seems like. I was fully expecting one of the people she lives with to be her mom. -No dust was on Riko's piano, which means what she said at the beach where she first met Chika was actually the truth. For whatever reason I thought she was lying to Chika about playing the piano since an early age and stopped after the performance in the flashback. -Oh she's Chika's neighbor which explains like the extra second of focus on the house next to Riko's at the beginning of the episode -Ending theme and animation is pretty nice, and this part of the ED is outright beautiful -Riko got recruited at the end of the episode which means that they're not getting recruited in the order they appeared in the KnKKK PV |

| The scene where they dove underwater was beautiful. After 2 episode, I finally realize the differences between Sunshine and the original Love Live （b^ｰﾟ) Dia was actually interesting and a huge µ's nerd. She knew all the trivia about µ's. I thought she's just gonna be a lame typical seitokaichou Btw the scene which focused on both Riko and Shiitake was really suspicious. This could led to And LOL Yohane, ran away and never come back after finishing her chuuni introduction. It's short but gold (≧∀≦) |
 |
| I love how more bold these new cast of characters are. I also like how they didn't make them too similar to the original u's cast as well. I actually think I'll fall for these girls harder than I did with u's. Everyone is just so cute. |
 |
| Omg Dia the closet μ's fan. It was hilarious when she went into trivia mode and started challenging Chika to see who's the better school idol fan. Nice episode about Riko too. They finally have their third member. Tbh I was somewhat unsure about Aqours initially but after 2 episodes all the girls are slowly growing on me. |
 |
| ruby was soo cute !! well i like the anime so far |
   |
| Who knew Dia would be a combination of Eli and Nico? I was totally surprised! Another great episode. Keep up the good work! |
"Fortress Maximus has come himself. Okay! Then I shall get Fortress Maximus to fight me, huh huh huh!" |
Hmmm..... From the picture we know that |
| This is GAY and I love every second of it. |
| Ep 2 was pretty good. I liked the second half better when the trio visit the sea and the failed attempt to write lyrics at the inn. Chika's constant pestering of the other girls to join gets on my nerves a bit. |
| Dia being a big fan of µ's. I did not see that coming. And Riko playing "Yume no Tobira" on her piano. |
 |
| Nice, this episode was full of wins. Lol, the way Chika tricked Ruby was priceless .. i laughed hard at the scene. and oh my god, Riko is so cute and i loved the backstory. it wasn't long enough but it made me enjoy the scuba diving scenes more and more. I wonder who's turn is it next. maybe Ruby? hmmm, anyway. Great episode. |
Aurorae said: This is GAY and I love every second of it. YES YES  That RubyMaru and ChikaRico shipping is not subtle at all lol They're not even hiding it |
| Dis is a huge fan ☺ |
| I love how Dia is a fangirl of µ's! |
 |
| I loved this episode. I teared up when Riko started singing Yume no Tobira |
 |
| Good episode. This is funnier than the previous love live. I hope the muse would make a cameo appearance |
 |
| Im really having mixed feelings about this, first I like the girls they're cute and all but they're just copypaste from Muse, with some variations but the same. Second the 2 episodes are filled with constant reference to muse ,I know they are the reason they want to become idols but it also feels the director use them to keep the fans, by showing Nico Maki and the others, and their songs idk it just feel off for me I hope it just because theyre stating and stop doing that in the next episodes... Anyways Im already in the chika x riko ship ≤3 |
 |
| did your parent told you not to take candy from strangers? lol |
 |
| TIL Eri and MC-kun from Shitgatsu wa Kimi no Uso have a child and that she goes by the name of Riko Sakurauchi As we say in Swedish: Jävligt kreativt där grabbar |
 Nico- said: Conversations with people pinging/quoting me to argue about some old post I wrote years ago will not be entertained@Comic_Sans oh no y arnt ppl dieing i need more ppl dieing rly gud plot avansement jus liek tokyo ghoul if erbudy dies amirite |
| chikariko OneTruePairing and also possible youyohane |
| quit jacking off on your waifu, you disgusting weaboo |
| A good episode imo for the development. and i kinda like that the pianist in this spin off had a little bit of mental trouble with her ability as a pianist. but in this episode, it has been solved and for now, she will be helping them to make the song but at the end of the episode, looks like she will be joining the ground although that last scene looked very stupid in my eyes. they were trying so hard just to touch each other hands in the middle of the night. i found that kind stupid lol, but whatever xD comapred to maki in the previous generation, i found the pianist in this generation to be more interesting but regardless of that, Maki is still the coolest character from love live imo. looking foward for the next episode. i wonder who is next. and my god i just realize what is their group name; Aqours (they showed it in the ending visual) and imo, that group name is weird compared to u's/muse. I wonder if there was any meaning behind of it... |
 |
| Shout out to homeboy Riko for her improv performance of John Cage's 4'33 in that flashback |
| Oh boy, it's episode 2. Still liking the intro. Those drawings were absolutely adorable, and can't nobody convince me otherwise. I honestly really enjoy the interactions between the girls, it's so fun too watch. |
A Wild and Small Otaku has Appeared! |
MagicalMahou said: is it me, or does riko remind me of...  Yes I thought the same thing. Her problem is very similar to Kousei's. |
| Dia is no doubt the biggest school idol fan. I think she won't be difficult for Chika to persuade into becoming a school idol. |
| They've finally recruited Riko-chan! 4/5. |
 |
| Terrible episode compared to the first one... bleh |
Is it just me or does this scene Looks a bit like a parody of this scene? Lol  Btw I want to see more Riko, she is so cute, from first impressions it seems that she will be more lovable than even Maki |

| God dammit I can't even pretend to dislike this show. It just gets me, I have no idea how but I can't help but love it. This episode was great, Riko best girl since episode 1 yo. That window thing was hella weird but very love live esque. It was also beautiful and touching as much as I tried to deny it. I'm really loving the ocean side scenery that combined with everything else that went on this episode it already won me over. I'm loving this show |
 |
| A million times better than the first episode! At first I thought Chika was going to be a carbon copy of Honoka, but what is this? She's actually doing something for the club? Also I'm in love with Riko and I like that she seems to have an actual backstory. I hope the rest of the characters can be this interesting ^^  |
    |
| Best girl Riko had a Maki moment! Her character development was wonderful in this :3 |
 |
| I'm starting to like the student president, she's such a huge muse fan, it's funny Yohane is my love, she's like Karamatsu-- I love embarrassing characters like that We need more and more yuri in this <3 Riko is a bit like Umi with the same piano+composer status as Maki, nice Very nice episode, this manages to stay refreshing despite being similar to original. Chika is a good leader, too |
 |
| I dunno, this episode felt somehow too random if not for the end. And Yume no Tobira? While it was nice, they should really do something more original instead. They are relying too much on the µ's if they want to step out of their shadow in the future. The diving was nice but it bothered me they didn't have any oxegen tanks to stay underwater for so long (also, the breathers they had should also function differently). The lack of Kanaan or Mari was dissapointing but even with lover number of people the episode didn't really stick together well. It also bothers me that Chika just want to be cool by singing and dancing and has no real idea of school idols concept at least. Also, Riko seems like someone from KimiUso, the inspiration was obvious. I was also not a fan of lecture about µ's school prez gave them. Don't know what was the deal with dog.. Well, it was kinda nice but... I can't shake the feeling that µ's has a lot better anime from the start. After great first episode this was surely a letdown. I'm really far from being sold right now. ThreePercent said: -Riko explains the motivation behind her school transfer, which is nice. Well, to me it felt pretty unnatural for her to explain her background so quickly if we are to believe she is the type who don't show emotions much - you basically don't go like Hello. How are you. And this is my backstory. when you meet someone, rather you show not tell such things but I guess they need to convey that pretty early so the show can go on. |

| Dia got almost as pissed off as I did when Chika said "U's" instead of "Muse" oh my gosh. But Dia really released her inner fangirl. BUT IS IT BAD I COULD ANSWER ALL THE QUESTIONS DIA ASKED ABOUT MUSE FIRST TRY? Chika luring out a loli with candy though.. We know what her future is. I'd probably be the same as Ruby though. I wonder what Hanamaru's little phrase at the end is though, first it was Rin with "nya" and now it's "Zura". Gonna have to look that up.. But I love how Chika just now brought up that Riko went to the school Muse went to. And Kanan & Riko really remind me of Nozomi & Maki. I'm glad they got Riko on board though, she might be my best girl after all (if she manages to surpass Hanamaru right now) but there's still more episodes to come for me to decide on that. I love how dramatic trying to reach each other was at the end though, they had like no reason but Chika was literally a leg away from falling off to the floor and Riko barely even moved xD |
| Cute episode, I liked the last part it was adorable! |
 |
| The narrative pace slowed, and a good sign, but there is still too much theatricality in everyday life of the protagonists, not that Love Live, was an anime from prim tones; there the atmosphere was a little watered down, but not exaggerated, oh well! We are at the beginning, perhaps they are still taking the right steps. I noticed some points of the narrative, in which I imagined references to other anime series, such as "Squid Girl" and "Amanchu" but I think they are only of my fantasies. Getting back on the piece, pleasant ending and the soundtrack in general. Very pleasant though the designs and animations, pity that I have not perceived, even in this episode, some originality in the characters; however I notice a faint diversity with those of Love Live. P.S. Chika is really a daredevil, blessed youth. XD I agree! |
 |
| I dunno why but that final scene between Riko and Chika on the balcony made me laugh unintentionally. Riko's voice is so nice btw, gave me some good chills. I'm still neutral towards the other girls though. |
 |
| I don't quite get it why Riko couldn't play the piano on stage. Does she lost her motivation or what? |
 |
| I am really loving this show. I can feel the passion. |
 Three things cannot be long hidden.. ...the s u n, the m oo n, and the tr u th. |
| Riko's disastrous recital because of her being unable to feel the emotions behind the song she was going to play really reminds me of a certain talented pianist who's in a slump since all they can hear while they play was the bottom of the ocean. She was really struggling since the instrument she had been playing for so long stopped being fun for her after that but Chika literally helped her see the light by getting her to hear the sounds of the sea up close and opening the door of dreams to the µ'sic group that inspired her new, unusual friend moved her so much! Chika risking her neck by reaching out like that was the final push Riko needed to join them because their hands touching at that special fated moment pretty much meant that a special fated connection would be established between them. Her short rendition of Yume no Tobira was simply beautiful. It was really amusing to see Dia prove that she's a µ's superfan by throwing all those tough questions at Chika. Finding about why Ruby gets compared to a small animal in the cutest way possible made me feel fuzzy all over and Yoshiko actually acting that embarrassed when her Fallen Angel shtick didn't land as gracefully as she did when she fell off that tree from before was really funny. |
 |
| Good episode. I did not expect Dia to be a µ fan, knowing all those facts about them. Chika using the lollipop to draw out Ruby as if she is a cat was funny. |
 |
| Entertaining enough. Riko seems cool and she also has a really sweet voice; still neutral about Chika. I'm not really into Ruby. Kanan seems interesting; I hope to see more of both she and Yoshiko. |
