EP. REVIEW: Love Live! Sunshine!!

Are you kidding me?? It didn't live up to the message?? Sorry but this review is so out there. This totally did live up to the hype of the episode. It shows how much of a powerful rival Saint Snow was to Aqours and how much it matters that they were present. Also, Hanamaru and Yohane were there to support Ruby!! Also, this had so much character development. This episode was about both Ria(Leah) and Ruby showing their sisters how much they can progress without them. It's sad to see that you couldn't see the actually message in this. Also, it was a never before seen collab between the main group and the rival group. Alsp, the reason Yohane and Hanamaru were present in this episode was because you have to rememver they are trying to prove themselves as well. And the insert song didn't seem forced into it. It was planned from the last episode and was very emotional in terms of Ruby and Ria(Leah) growing up and a great way to close the chapter on the disbanding of Saint Snow. It also showed both girls going out of their comfort zone and showing how they'll try to prove that their sisters can graduate without worry. This review was just sad. I feel like the reviewer missed the entire message completely. This was an A+ not a B.

Eh, reviewers are entitled to their opinions. I'm not really fussed about how Bamboo graded it. I'm much more disappointed in the community score, which currently has this as the lowest-rated episode of the season. That seems way too harsh. I'm admittedly a big fan of Ruby (and Hanamaru), but even if I set my personal biases aside I still thought it was much better than episodes 3, 5 and 6, for instance. That said, as a fan of those two, I loved this arc. Ruby finally got her chance to shine and show what her real character is like beyond just being "the shy girl," and this episode was also the first time in a long time that Hanamaru got a break from being a comedy character and had a chance to show some of her best qualities again, with the way she showed empathy and understanding towards Leah at the restaurant and supported Ruby's efforts throughout as best she could. I liked the new song, too, although I do wish the episode had just given us a straight Ruby/Leah duet instead of jumping right into the full group version, but that's my only real quibble.

Also, maybe they shouldn't be dancing in the middle of the street; it's unsafe.

While true, I had to laugh at this part. Where's the time when muse sang on a rooftop and in the middle of an airport with moving airplanes. This seems like a most normal thing LLS would do.

The set-up for these 2 eps was also clear with one being lost by not having the cms/announcements after each ep. One was to give Ruby some spotlight and well deserved character development, the other was was to introduce Hakodate Festival next year in golden week with Saint Snow's (and aqours subunits) actual first live performance. (and own CD with the SAS song as third track available)

I agree. The community here sucks so bad sometimes. Elsewhere this episode has at least a 4.5/5 or higher. It was even trending in Japan for the entire day and even trending worldwide. This site is so embarrassing in how bias and bad it is. I swear. This was a great episode. Obviously some people don't see what I see but still, it's a damn shame.

Wait, so the community here sucks, is bad and biased just because people have different tastes and opinions? Really? Sorry if not everyone is head over heels in love with Love Live, but you're acting like a salty fanboy with that comment.

Offtopic: this is the first time I've seen a comment so ridiculous that it forced me to create an account just to reply. But then again, I don't visist ANN forums too much.

It's just not with this show though. But whatever, no one cares. I was just saying that the community here is really bad. And this forum is for people who watch the show so my comment was only natural. I thought it you like the show you comment here. No need to be rude either. Again, the community here is seriously toxic.

Sorry if I sounded rude, it's just that your comment was incredibly dumb to me. But really, your logic boils down to "they don't have the same taste / opinions as me so they're all toxic".

Look, I like Love Live, its my guilty pleasure, but so far Sunshine has been a huge disapointment to me since its first season and that's my opinion about it, so I wouldn't give it high scores either. Does that make me a bad or toxic person? Just because I don't like the anime as much as you? You gotta understand that everyone has different tastes and opinions and that's why scores will differ between different communities. But if for you that's a sign of toxicity and a bad community, then that's your problem

Uh, okay. I didn't mean to say it that way. But still, everyone is putting it down. People either want something emotional or just hapoy gags and it's confusing me on what people really want to see from this anime. Sorry, I just have never seen this show been put down so much except on this site and it's for all the other anime as well. Like welcome to the ballroom, HnK or anything else.
