Korekara no Someday is a really cute song! My favourite is still "Start:Dash!!" though. I love the songs in this show. I feel like this has got to have a 2nd season, we're almost halfway through and we still don't have all the members yet.

And the Oscar goes to....!! I was in awe for a sec when Nicochi changed her personality like that. She should ditch the whole idol thing and join the drama club xD

So who wants some maid services? *winked at Kotori*

I really like Honoka, she reminds me why she is my favorite idol every time. Her style of leadership is perfect for a group of school idols, but it will be insufficient when they go pros. They need a more serious and commanding person at the helm, or just hire a manager

oh and the insert song in karaoke scene is "love novels" by BiBi (sub-group of niko, maki, and eri)
also that fail niko XD

and the costume for the pv 'kore kara no someday' is cute, loved umi's bunny and rin's cat.


RabuNoberusu is such an awesome song on U's Best Album Best Live! Collection. kanojo ni naritai! A line that makes one's heart melt every time... I should love White Lily because of Umi Chan but I like the Bibi songs... (feel so nude) funny lyrics in Diamond Princess.

Though Shiranai Love*Oshiete Love is good... Printemps sweet&sweet holiday...

Some songs with Mimori Suzuko sound a bit like gdgd fairies which is very funny (she is PikuPikuchan) but a few I swear even have sound effects like that.

The part in the dance when 2D Umi was in the front while CG Kotori was in the back and when they switched is a pretty cool way of switching the animation.

Everything's better with more Nico! It's a great feeling when they said they didn't need a leader. Each member is great at their own skill and doing everything together creates the perfect group atmosphere.

Heh, it looks like someone is camera shy this episode although it doesn't come up as a big surprise to me at all. Fun to see Nico-senpai again this episode. For some reason, I like her character more than I thought. I mean, who can forget about this:



Oh and when she pulled her hair down with that personality. The Oscars awards goes to...

Shame, I wanted to hear the songs rather than just seeing the results. Oh well, maybe next time.

Now, I'm a little curious. Does Niko remind me of anyone of the Niko from Accel World? Same hair style, some of the same mannerisms, etc.


Yes she does.


Same here XD
Same name, same personality..

Haha the filming on the idols everyday life was hilarious. Lol'd at Honoka's laziness and Umi getting caught acting cute. Kotori almost getting found out about the maid thing was adorable too.

Loved the pv they made at the end though I wish Maki had more lines to sing herself cuz I love that voice.

The animation for the video in this episode is definitely better animated than the opening - they've improved. I swear the opening uses Miku Miku Dance. (・_・;) Rin and Umi have nice singing voices.
I was just waiting for someone to make a speech like "Honoka should be the leader because she's the group's inspiration and pulls everyone forward," but I liked when they put it in more subtly instead of anvil dropping like a kid's show.
I love how you always get little pieces of everybody's character here and there.

Another nice ep. Nishikino has the best voice but she has pro singer seiyuu so it's understandable.

And the cliffhanger in the end. Now I suspect the video they were shooting got out somehow and they'll have problem with school prez because of that. Is there threat of disbanding?

And there are actually many things that deserves an answer:

- Kotori x Minalski thing
- Why was Nico observing Arise secretly in the first ep?
- Who is uploading those videos?
- Erichi being "star" - does she have any previous bad experience with idol business?

and so on :)

How did Umi end up as leader from those three leader "requirements"? Sure, she's the most respected in the group, but Honoka fulfills the first two "requirements" much better than Umi does.

The leader of μ's is definitely going to be Honoka, because she's the one that can lead the group beyond the boundaries. She is also my favorite character in Love Live! I play the game first before watching this anime, and the first one I pick is Honoka because I felt like she's a great character by my intuition, I'm glad that I chose her.

Kotori in a maid outfit


I absolutely love how the ED song changes based on what happened in the episode. Nico ended up getting her time in the limelight like she wanted and sang all of the solos in this version, and everyone else took turns.

While comparing this ED with the full-ensemble EDs from previous episodes I noticed that episode 3's ED actually had all of the μ's members singing it, rather than just the ones who joined up to that point. At first this seemed pretty weird but then I remembered that all the members happened to be in the vicinity of each other when the episode ended.

The ED was my favorite part of the episode, but the rest of it was pretty enjoyable as well.

Sympathetic narrative as is usual, but after a lot of sympathy and humor, there was a turning point for the story, I would say that joined with pleasure. The characters are always the most fun and characterized. Pleasant ballet in the final part of the episode.

I liked how Niko's multiple planned personalities keep being ignored and her "evil" plans keep failing. It's a funny running gag.
Honoka ends as μ's de facto leader, as expected.

I wonder what big problems is Hanayo talking about.
Looks like the student council president would like to support μ's, but can't for some reason.
Let's see what happens in the next episode!

My Nozomin got a bigger part in this, interviewing Muse and narrating the documentary of Idols in the Wild~ I won't mind her narrating my daily life ♡

Nico's "evil" schemes to be leader kept backfiring on her and she can't get anyone to listen to her self-advertisements lmao That moment when she pulled down her hair and acted like a different person and stopped the man to Nico Nico Nii him to distribute fliers (especially that part when she looked mad and suddenly let out an adorable af "Nico~" omg) were my favorite parts of her in this episode ♡

The girls worked so hard in practice so I'm very happy that their music video came out absolutely gorgeous (that transition from day to night was legendary). They don't need a leader since everyone is making the group step forward as one but the person who started it all is to be admired :') Sasuga Honoka and co.! Eli's finally gonna get the spotlight and that cliffhanger must be big :o

There's just something about those warm types of smiles that makes you smile as well, right?..
Also, I like when everyone sings and gets part to sing separately.. You get to think more about all of them separately for a brief moment, or something.. ;p

And apparently president is going to take the lead for the girls?

Hold up, I thought it was kinda the point that all the members would sing; that's why Honoka tried to reclute Maki. Even with the original three, they all sang at the same time... did they really thought only one member, the leader, would sing? Maybe I'm missing something about idols...

Anyway, cute episode. I really enjoyed this one.

I remember this part where they chose a leader also i love it how supportive nozomi was since ep 1 until she become part of the group with eli.

Honoka goof arounds a lot and a dork but shes the only one on the group who can motivate and lead the others to do the unimaginable things.

nico's definitely the funniest character in the show, good comic relief except I couldn't help but cringe at that scene where she was acting for the introduction video

Also thought that'd be a new ending song tbh, but you can definitely see the animation has got better.

Even though no one was considered officially as a leader in u's. The one representing them and their figure is Honoka. She is such a carefree student always down for some ideas that make the unit more successful. We all know who the leader is without telling each other. I kind of feel bad a little for Nico because everyone literally ignored her for like 5 times. Somebody give Nico the attention she needed, she's so cute!
