It’s Nijigaku Saturday again! Quartz performance was great! Been looking forward to this once since last week when the girls said they’d team up. It never fails to amaze me to see how far performances have come in the LL franchise. Next week is what I’m really waiting on tho.

Finally! the sub-unit got recognition in the anime. 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 It is ENJOY IT! and it is a very cute song from QU4RTZ. This song is also the first sub-unit animated MV in the entire history of Love Live anime. In which the MV also contains a lot of cards from SIFAS. 🤣 The swing in the MV is also referenced from "Swinging" which is another song from QU4RTZ.

Sleep live huh.... lol... That's our Kanata-chan.

Neo Sky Neo Map piano version from Yuu 😭 That was very good and impressive.

Adorable costumes.

Excellent performance from QU4RTZ. :)

I loved their stage costumes.

Kasumi was so hilarious in this episode, haha. I love her personality.

Neo Sky Neo Map piano version was such a nice surprise. Yuu played so beautifully. <3

Another episode, another smile in my face. Another lovely song, this time performed by QUARTZ. Let's not forget Yu making her own piece in the piano. Lovely episode.

wow great ep. s2 is doing really good so far. i quite enjoyed the theme of the episode about discovering more about yourself through others. personally think its quite relatable. appreciate how they eventually find the solution as they initially have conflicting ideas cause they're solo idols, which kinda brings us back to early niji s1 episodes.

qu4rtz song was awesome. they never miss. appreciate all those sifas costumes references

plus, they end the episode with yuu playing NSNM on the piano. absolutely wonderful

They were having trouble at first and I thought they would fail but during the house visit I realized Oh wait this is QU4RTZ they have plenty of good songs. I became teary eyed after remembering that. I just cant stop rooting for a successful performance. That moment when they introduce the group name as well All the feels crying again. During the performance they also gave us fan service by showing the costumes in the game. Pretty solid episode!

Great episode, I really liked seeing the process of QU4RTZ forming throughout the episode, a lot of good moments there, and it seemed really tough at first until Yu’s story intertwined with theirs, everyone pointing out the unique qualities of Yu helped QU4RTZ understand themselves as well, and that song and performance was amazing, it’s different seeing a select group of the girls perform together as their own group as opposed to solo, I really liked it, hope to see more from them in the season as well as any other groups that form from the Nijigasaki girls!

And wow it was so nostalgic to hear Yu perform Season 1’s ED, “Neo Sky Neo Map”, on piano as the ED this episode, great rendition and nice memories from Fall 2020 when Season 1 aired, I love that ED too, love to see that it ended up being the song Yu composed!

Subtitle desync and those terrible stage outfits aside, another solid episode of Nijigaku 2. Great to hear Mia call Yuu "Baby-chan" too; now we just need her to say "shit" and all will be as it should be.

Always fun seeing the SIFAS URs referenced in the MVs, and nice to see a UR I actually have in there for once (phantom thief Kanata). Well, I'm sure that's not the first time it's happened so much as the first time I've actually paid enough attention to notice.

Gotta love how these girls can have all their own problems but when it's Yuu the one with a problem, the rest just drop everything and go to her aid xD

Comfy episode. Really liked the message of discovering oneself through others and though it not being my type of music, I gotta say QU4RTZ's song and overall performance were indeed pretty nice.
And of course, Yuu's piano performance at the end was also pretty good.

Once again, its sweet seeing the sub-units actually debut in the anime

QU4RTZ's brainstorming wasn't all for naught, they managed to pull through with an amazing song and get through to Lanzhu

Neo Sky Neo Map on the piano by Yuu was beautiful, its a nice throwback to the first season

Karin sure has been exposed a lot this episode, from habit of sleeping in to her getting lost on school campus fufu

Can't wait to see next episode, because its DiverDiva's one; its sure to be a blast~☆

I totally get it. We understand other people and do everything in our power to support them, but we don't get ourselves. I can relate.

That new song by QU4RTZ was SO GOOD!! I loved all the references to All Stars cards as well. I found myself looking through each one and seeing which ones I have. (go check out my channel btw I do gacha there, link on the profile ;P ). At least Lanzhu will reflect on it and strive to be better. I hope that realisation won't lead her down the wrong path...

BABY KASUMI! Yeah, she looks like the adorable little gremlin we all love

So in canon, Yu wrote the Season 1 ED. At least we get to hear her play, it's a beautiful rendition. I can only imagine how hard this class is with all the music theory. You've done well, boo.

MIA SAID THE THING! She called Yu "Baby-chan"! XD

Also, Kanata's mum is pretty cute <3

Great episode. The next one is called "Ai Love Triangle", huh?
Man, I wish I was part of that.

I really like this episode. Qu4rtz came up with a BANGER insert song.

Also when Yuu played the piano, when i recognized the tone i immediately went to ecstasy. Neo Sky Neo Map really left a lasting impact on Nijigasaki anime.

For a moment i thought that Konoe sisters mother was a older sister herself.

Mia's attitude isn't good, and i'm glad that the idol club convinced Yuu to not listen to her toxic suggestion, and that scene was even better because Ayumu was the one who talked at first about it. Seriously, i almost yelled "YES! YEEES!" when she stopped speaking and the other most reliable idol club members agreed one by one (of course, as expected a DiverDiva focus episode or two is/are approaching so i'm a little concerned, even if i prefer to have it before the equally probable A*Zu*Na arc)

Qu4rtz are all very good people and i appreciated that they took their needed time to know and discover each other even if time before the announced live was running out. They're not mary sues and because of this i like them even more. It was odd to see the actual ED missing but also a pleasant surprise to have it replaced with a piano cover of the wonderful previous one, even if the real deal is still the best.

amazing performance by Quartz. Somehow, Kanata makes me smile whenever she talks. She has this pleasant sounding voice that calms the mind - time to sleep. lol

also did not expect Yuu to do a piano version of first season opening. Good song.

Ah sure, classic training camp session before the sub unit found their color. Classic.

And also agreed with my above. How on earth am i not know that sooner that piano cover was coming, because it should been easy to comes up with as its actually became the color of Yuu music. But well, looks like Quartz, those four, performance already stole my hearing and soul away. So that's understandable and a pretty nice way to make Yuu piano cover return back as the ending of Love Live! Nijigasaki Gakuen School Idol Doukoukai episode three.

Ai love triangle? After the tea joke? Oh yea, why not!

Yuu's piano cover of Neo Sky Neo Map was wonderful.

I also loved the moment when Kanata, Rina, Kasumi, and Emma introduced themselves as the QUARTZ subunit. Great stuff. It's about time that the subunits appeared in one of the Love Live anime shows.

Awwwwww it was so cute!! My little Idol lesbians was sleeping together,,,YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES

And also this was IMO the best song so far with a lot of sweet Yuri vibes

LL lesbians should sing and dance together, I think they are much better as a group than solo performance

Great episode, amazing song, fantastic performance.
I always found Quartz to be this odd combination of characters but seeing them like this and coming to understand each other really sells the unit.
Kanata's mom looked a bit like Asuna from SAO somehow...
Yuu's performance was nice too

Both Qu4rtz and Yu's piano perfromance were SO good! Also, loved the episode of having the other girls dealing with imposter syndrome by just seeing other perspective, felt nice and somewhat relatable.

Still can't say I care much for Lanzhu or Mia yet, but Mia is somewhat growing on me.
