Maybe there would be more ShizuKasu in S2 if Kasumi would stop flirting with other women!
>The sound of cherry blossom drifting through the air, I love it. I could hear the same sound coming from Chii-chan's choreography
>>3708780Is this line supposed to mean something?
Today's episode was really cute. And Vice President is still a raging lesbian. great shot of Lanzhu at the end too. I hope they can pull out her arc well
>>3709242I feel like jealous childhood friend is overdone but it should lead to some c/u/te moments between them.
>>3709242>>3709336But the anime is going for ShioSetsu though
>>3709372People also said that to yuusetsu, look what happened.
>emo>totally passive>says she's fine though she's obviously notThey made Shioriko like the hardest bottom out of the main cast, more than the walking femme stereotype that is Shizuku. She's possibly M, even. Is she also like this in the game?
Lanzhu was also taken back by Mia hanging out with the first years. She's realizing the drawback to her all-or-nothing philosophy.
>>3709415She folded hard to Lanzhu in S2 of the game. She only lashed out when Lanzhu got in the way of shitting on older sister through song.
>>3709415In the game she's perpetually horny for Ayumu. Not sure if she still bottoms in the scenario, but people like her as the top.
I liked DiaRuby a fair bit before but Niji is truly turning me into an incest enjoyer.....
>>3709419"you steal my friends, I steal your club!"calling it for the final arc
For the dense anon in the other thread.>L: You'll come see me, right?>S: Of course.
>>3709842liarShioriko never even once attends Lanzhu's guerilla lives, even if she makes it online, because she was apparently "busy" with her paperworksheck, the Kurobane Sisters are even a better friend than Shioriko, Lanzhu's supposed best friend, and they are her newbie fans!but instead she unexpectedly shows up to QU4RTZ's performance and then gets completely awed by themand THEN on this week's episode, the Nijis realize Shio's dream behind Lanzhu's back, and that's after Lanzhu didn't managed to interact with Shioriko even once during the 2nd SIF so farLanzhu needs a break and a hug, really
PomuKasu is my favorite semi-rare ship.Dunno why. I just think they're neat.
>>3710079
>>3710073Anon. She came to watch her in the episode after she said that.
>>3710083noon 3rd episode, Lanzhu didn't hold any new lives yet and Shioriko says that she intends to accept YG-QU4RTZ's live invite and invites Lanzhu tooobviously Lanzhu is shocked, because so far Shioriko hasn't attended any of her lives and yet has time to attend QU4RTZ's
>>3710100cuckqueen....
>>3710195>the new yuusetsu cucking ayumu theme
>>3710194>the new yuusetsu cucking ayumu theme
>>3710238not a good parallel
>>3710226not a good parallel
>>3710270Did you watch the first season? they have huge similarities.
SetsuWON!
>>3710205Cuckqueandom.
>>3710344YES I'M SO SPECIAL
>>3710226So Lanzhu wíll confront Shioriko in her bedroom too?
>>3710413Lanzhu seems to in love with Shioriko and both are childhood friends afterall.
>>3710318Typical yuusetsu behavior blaming Setsuna.
>>3710194Mia is going to be obese by the time she graduates. The first years are going to be the death of her waistline.
>>3710576Nah, they will give her japanese portions, not american ones.On a more serious issue, I wonder how they will manage Mia's arc, they will mantain their interest in Rina or they will ignore it like what they did with Shioriko and Ayumu?
>>3710582Rina was the one who bribed Mia with burger coupons (also got her friends to give Mia another chance). So, the connection is still there.
>>3710598Not to mention Rina helped Mia pet hapan.
Lanzhu wasn't the only one who got cucked.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T_st0a-ONi4In the first half of the dance she is not smiling, but in the second half she is smiling.This is a metaphor for her emotional change.
>>3710918Is this breakcore?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EV4s1dc_i0o
>>3711210lol I just saw this video
>>3710918Also the key changes.
>>3711210This reminds me how there was literally no yuri in Superstar besides this one YouTube influencer-tier clickbait scene.
>>3711547That's why they added Shiki
>>3711654So they can pull off another clickbait stunt?
I need help finding a fic about Kanan/Dia/Mari that was on AO3. I think it was deleted.It was about Mari and Kanan already in a relationship, and then the two of them inviting Dia to join. She was reluctant at first, but Kanan and Mari slowly drag her into it.Dia starts kind of live together with Kanan and Mari to get used to the three of them in a relationship, they kiss and cuddle a lot during that time. They had a date at the amusement park, I think. And eventually, there is smut.

Love Live's first raibu whose first defining trait is being a lesbianhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JjyWacYX334
>>3712357I don't see her holding a chapstick in that picture, Anon.
>>3712357>Love Live's first raibu whose first defining trait is being a lesbianThat's Ayumu. This half-assed evangelion girl clone doesn't even have one percent of Ayumu's power.
>>3712362>That's Ayumuthat's Ayumu after the post-Yu retcon, so she doesn't count
>>3712363why are you Liellafags so retarded
>>3712363Are you one of those retards who believed that the SIFAS protagonist who goes to an all-girls school could possibly be a male?
>>3712377>>3712386Ayumu first and foremost was a hardworking girl and also a massive chad in the Famitsu yonkoma (who apparently blessed by the God of School Idols, most likely Yu of the Yonkomaverse)her characterization of being a childhood friend of Anata (which is also 100% female) comes waaay later when SIFAS was announced along with Anata, and thus the last yonkomas has Nozomi exorcise Ayumu's inner demons, making her to be the current, hardworker first, childhood friend second, and lesbian third self
>>3712391Ayumu and all the other NIjis minus the 3 SIF girls are made for the game, not the opposite.>making her to be the current, hardworker first, childhood friend second, and lesbian third selfLol no. She's hardworking because she wants her childhood friend to pay attention to her, not the other bimbos.
>>3712398PDP was created firstthen the Yonkomas from the three appsthen the SIFAS gamei'm talking about Ayumu's first iteration in both PDP-Yonkoma timeline which got retconned when SIFAS was announced, btw
>>3712399PDP was always meant for SIFAS. It was the codename for the group that will be the main characters for the next-gen Love Live mobile game.Do you literally think that they made these 6 new girls for funsies?Yonkoma Ayumu is just the author of the yonkoma having a laugh.
>>3712402>Yonkoma Ayumu is just the author of the yonkoma having a laugh.well, it's part of the canon nonetheless so my point still stands
>>3712404What the flying fuck was your pointSIFAS Ayumu has always been the main Ayumu. Anime Ayumu is basically SIFAS Ayumu, the only difference being her childhood friend has a name, appearance, and character.Yonkoma Ayumu wasn't even a prototype or anything. Her main concept came before it and the yonkoma is as canon as that Setsuna isekai story.
>>3712404And a piece of advice for you anon.Don't expect Blue Hair to be 1/10th as gay as Ayumu or any other Niji. Don't set yourself up for disappointment. You know what Superstar S1 was like.
>>3712404It's official, not canon.It's like taking seriously any Omake that exaggerates characters for comedy value.>>3712410knowing SS, she may end up being a bad joke and I've seen that quite a few times (mainly in non-yuri series)

>>3712523Well they barely interacted in the series.
>>3712497>>3712499>>3712509This. Lot of care has been put into these seasons, even small characters have their time to shine, it airing after the disappointing (at best) Superstar just makes the difference in quality all the more blatant. Really hoping Niji S2 can keep things going smoothly, while also secretly praying that Superstar gets better.
>>3712526Love that face.
>>3712509Agreed.

An actual science nerd and not just someone who looks at books is actually interesting. And, I can relate to just wanting to be by yourself.

It's kind of funny how Honomaki's opinion is basically the same with Japanese and Westerners.
>>3714030A mistake that thankfully didn't do any lasting harm?
>>3714069no, people remember that it was somewhat prominent in S1 and are glad that there are at least related events, even if it's irregular.others mentioning the something destined or directly frustrated.
>>3714094>that it was somewhat prominent in S1it wasnt, honkers did her job recruiting her and thats that nothing more, you could argue that nozomi maki was also prominent because of the beach maki villa episode
Kasumi taking off Shizuku's hairpin for the same reason why a married man takes off his wedding ring.
>>3714160I don't get it
>>3714094To be honest I think RinMaki is similar but better.But when it comes to Honoka I can picture her with pretty much anyone. Honk and Nico are pretty versatile.
>>3714160Not in front of the wife every day though
>>3714221
>>3714223why did I knew she would be lewdly licking her finger even before opening the image
>>3714160Kasumi threw it away after she caught Shizuku with the drama club prez for the fourth time.
>>3714204I like RinMaki even less. It's no fun if Maki's the more mature party and I feel bad for Hanayo.
>>3714330Hanayo will be just fine. (please don't let me be the only NicoPana enjoyer in this thread)
Tbh I don't know which one's Maki and which one's Rin anymore.

>>3714342NicoPana's cute, but I prefer them as friends. I feel like Nico needs to be with someone who'll let her be an utter bitch sometimes and you can't just do that to a sweetie like Hanayo.
>>3714413Chiduko didn't deserve this hard of a nerf
Roger, dodger!
>>3714157the same could be said of the cheap fanservice of the popular couple, which in the end did nothing for the characters, even Nozomi was really important in the second episode focused on Nico, in contrast as Nozomi and Rin had support from their "official peers" in their focus episodes.>>3714204the couple could also be compared to an old cult series, not valued at the time (or outright hated) but with a loyal fanbase that remembers them to this day, even if the mainstream doesn't, like Firefly, Akanesasu Shojo or Zoboomafoo.By the way, still funny as Niji with more main characters than previous series and even more relevant supporting characters, still doing a better job overall and they all feel genuine.
>>3714434
So, episode 9 will be Mia's episode.Episode 10 will probably be Lanzhu's and R3birth's episode.So that leaves 11 and 12 for the main drama of the season like in season 1.And then 13 for the finale.
>>3714441R3BIRTH will get two episodes and 12 will be Ayumu and Yuu focused like in season 1.
>YuMia and MiaRinaPretty good.
>>3714451Wouldn't Mia's episode count as one of the R3BIRTH episodes? Both Lanzhu and Shioriko were in the preview.I think that 2 episodes would be enough to wrap both of Mia and Lanzhu's plots with Mia's song in the first and R3BIRTH's song in the second, and then the last 3 episodes will have the full-team song in the finale + maybe 1 special song.It fits the preview next episode title voice pattern too.Episode 1: No Preview (Lanzhu song)Episode 2: Emma + Kanata Episode 3: Kasumi + Rina (QUARTZ song)Episode 4: Ai + Karin (DiverDiva song)Episode 5: ShizukuEpisode 6: Setsuna (AZUNA song)Episode 7: Shioriko (Shioriko song)Episode 8: the original 9 (Tokimeki Runners)Episode 9: Mia (most likely Mia song)That leaves Lanzhu, Yuu, and Ayumu left.Episode 10: Lanzhu (maybe R3BIRTH song)Episode 11: Yuu or Ayumu or bothEpisode 12: Yuu or Ayumu or both (special song?)Episode 13: all 13 (full group song)
LanYu is coming.
>Mia episode>two-part R3BRTH episodes>We're probably getting the Lanzhu Flies Back To China drama from the game (Lanzhu's "Bye-bye." being a big hint here).>Episode where everyone performs together>New song or L!L!L!>E13Competing in Love Live next season

>>3714434Yes, yes, Maki blushing at Honoka for three seconds was the best written, most transcendent scene in film history since Dreyer shot all those close-ups of Renée Falconetti as the dying Joan of Arc.
Why does Ayumu attract the gays
>>3714520I’m glad you get itFinally someone that understands just how good HonoMaki is
>>3714492The girls are already popular enough without the Love Live contest. They don't need it. It's always just a dumb excuse plot anyway.
>>3714520yes, Wingardium Leviosa.
>>3714487Better make sure a hard-working, loyal vampire won't steal your woman while you're chasing sluts, Yuu.
>>3714397Ai isn't above it either.>>3714422
we need a rough top setsuna doujin at least one pleaseimagine the light punches and kicks from her
>>3714399me on the left
>>3713757Every time I think Kitaku couldn't be any more perfect, I get proven wrong.
Wew, that was an interesing episode>>3714486>Wouldn't Mia's episode count as one of the R3BIRTH episodes? Both Lanzhu and Shioriko were in the preview.Yeah this is what I'm expecting, Mia's episode will essentially be treated as Part 1 of the R3BIRTH story with ep10 being part 2, leaving room for one last arc with Yu and Ayumu the remaining two characters left to narrate the preview.The pacing of the season feels quite fast, but just like S1 it is basically following the same story skeleton as SIFAS, with the main "changes" being the Club vs Club conflict being changed to Solo vs Subunit, and SIF 2 was brought forward a bit since it never happend in SIFAS. After the end of the Lanzhu and R3BIRTH arc in SIFAS came AnaPomu, and it looks like anime S2 will do the same and follow it with YuuPomu. Now what the YuuPomu story wil be able about is beyond my guess, all the ideas I had have been used in already.
>>3714425I really wanted Karin to be feeding Emma the cake(s), but she gobbled them too fast... I'm starving for this pair this season...
so nostalgic....
Homin horny on main.
>>3714844I mean, tummy > all and it's not even fair.
Love how something as small as the hairpin coming back warranted hundreds of comments from Shizukasu fans. This is how you properly do yuri content
>>3714903It's called edging.
I like the dynamic of Kasumi wanting to be treated like a lady, but forced to be the "man" in the relationship.https://twitter.com/SIFAStheatre/status/1528112053344509952
>>3712501LanEmma appeared like it would be a fun side ship, kinda sad it didn't take off. I know there's far more interesting combinations, but still...
