Hmm I found this episode kind amusing and tearful. Kanan is awesome as well.

The scene with the rain had a lot of feels with Mari. Gotta love that background storytelling when some of the girls were little too. Decent performance at the end. I think they are improving.

Didn't expect the drama between the third years and I thought that Dia and Chika will compete and Dia loses so she joins Aqours. A change of script maybe?

Wonderful episode, Just amazing. Was filled with overwhelming cuteness, humor and emotion. I couldn't help but grin, laugh and tear up. I don't know why Love Live! has this effect on me. :3

Yohane was on fire this episode XD , Everyone targeting Ruby was funny, She's so innocent. :3
You jumping out the corridor to grab the dress was so hilarious XD

Chika owned the third years XD , No one can stand upto that scream xD

Kanan, Mari and Dia were so adorable this episode. <3 Kanan is extra cute as a kid. <3
Nice backstory, So it wasn't a matter of they couldn't sing but rather didn't sing. It's so sweet to see how much Kanan and Mari care about each other. KanaMari is canon XD
That transition from Mari running in the rain to the flashback scene when they were kids and Kanan said 'Hug' to the present scene where she said it again was amazing, It made it so emotional for me. Teared up. The Hug was so sweet. T.T

So glad the 3rd years made up and have all joined now, Was nice of Ruby to give Dia her outfit. Aqours are complete now. :D

Performance was great, I really liked the song. Visuals were excellent with the colorful stage and fireworks, This was probably my favorite performance till date. I really loved the visual where they all formed a circle.
Well it wasn't unexpected but Dia was the one who wrote the name on the beach, It was still pretty cute the way she was writing on the sand.

Wonder where the series will head from here.

Yay, Aqours have nine members! I didn't expect the conflict between Kanan, Mari, and Dia to have a simple solution. It worked out though!

Now everything is explained and make sense.

Who wrote down the word "Aqours" in ep3? Explained.
Why Dia told so much lies? Explained.
Why Mari left two years ago and made a sudden return? Explained.
Why Kanan felt angry when she noticed Mari returned in ep1? Explained.
Why Kanan acted so mean to Mari in last episode? Explained.
Why Kanan told Mari "Give up before someone got hurt?" Explained.

There are too many reasons for me to love this episode. Too many.

Die is too selfless, she pretty much gave up all of her dreams and wishes to keep Mari's and Kanan's, mostly Kanan's.

She deserves her own episode and not just be an observing side character. Jump in Dia!

Finally, the 3rd years drama is over and Aquors group is now complete.

Yohane attacking the Kurosawa sisters was funny.

And how the heck did the girls did not saw Dia on the beach when she was writing it? She must ran really fast.

Chika is amazing stopping the third years. Go girl!

Hm. I think the biggest problem with the third years' arc was the lack of focus. The past scenes were enough to build up to the drama of this episode, but I was expecting something of a 'one big arc' after all the buildup, rather than the buildup being the arc itself, and this episode being the conclusion.

While I'm slightly disappointed this week, this show is nevertheless still really fucking great. That last bit had me near tears, dude.

Another superbly entertaining episode, so many twists and turns... Seeing them act in new ways, seeing the old trio lose their facade and fighting eachother~
One of the best episodes yet!!

Anyone else think Sunshine may surpass the original Love Live?

But I still can't seem to like Chika.
She can never replace Honk.

After this Episode I prefer Sunshine Now than the Original not as a whole but for the whole Season 1 and seeing Sunshine has more Depth and meaning of the Story and Character development that's where Sunshine Excels and it Continued to be Awesome for example the Saint Snow Performance which i considered the best Love Live Performance and the Depth of the 3rd year who Struggle during their time but Deep down they love being a School Idol plus Chika being a better leader than Honoka where Chika has so many Flaws as leader but she Tries her best Despite Being normal girl from Planet normies hehe and We Have Hanamaru (My peesonal BestGirl) who's very Supportive and funny at the Same time plus our Favorite Chuunibyou Yohane or Yoshiko haha she's great . all of them our Great plus the Struggles our Real this time thats it's being an idol that can Join Love Live cuz of how Popular it Became . lastly may I compare Michael jordan to Lebron james to the 2 love live cuz just like MJ and The original Love Live people cant forget the past and already accept that he's Untouchable despite how LBJ/Sunshine does most of it better than the last one cuz they cant Accept it and thats their 1st time falling in love with it

Finally the third years are in. Dia and her behind the scenes machinations - all this time pretending to be opposed to Aqours. Chika becomes bad-ass and puts a stop to the Mari/Kanan battle and even demands the senior trio present themselves before the Aquors Supreme Council.

I think Ruby and Yoshiko/Yohane are my two favorites. Ruby because she is a shy weakling so has the farthest to go in some ways. and Yoshiko for her random weirdness.

3rd years >> other members. though Chika is real life-saver with the way she pushed some reason into them.

One of the best episodes so far, very emotional. I really like it, for the first the I got the same vibes as when watching first Love Live.

Still, I not quite a fan of those random ending songs.. those are very nice but feels disconnected with the rest of the story.
I understand they needed to push in some concert songs but it's not tied very well. I guess one has to take it only as their would be shows.

Looking back it's real shame we had to watch through about 5-6 episodes that were bad carbon copy of previous Love Live to finally get to this point.

Chika, so far, is my top favorite right now. Not only she shows compassion to her members but she also stopped the third years from arguing by screaming and ordering them. she really proved herself to be the b0ss. Honk, i love you but Chika >>>> Honk.

imma protect my this smile from from now

Dia's gesture and scream similar to ruby made me love her even more. She also looks cute at the last scene when she wrote their group name.

Mari's scene with kanan is lovely. If i were to choose the type of their relationship, it would be bdsm. Mari wants to be slapped instead of hugged. She's into it, i think. on the earlier part, it would be better if kanan knew she was being followed and turns out she was a troll.



aaaand there's a mistake again (look at mari)....,



The funniest scene in this ep is when you is so gay for sailor uniforms. If chika and riko werent there, she most likely dead by now.

I don't blame her, i'd grab for it too. Girls' sailor uniforms have some kind of special charm. Not even because it was value appreciated due to it's use, just the straight up aesthetic is really good.
