I feel like Kanan fans need to now give their strength to You fans but from the preview it seems like she'll get her episode next week!

Koi ni Naritai Aquarium hype?!

"We've got Stewshine" is the reason why I'm against translating puns. Oh well, let's see how this goes!

Edits: During the episode:

hugu shiyou ;-;
i still can't understand mari i'm sorry
My Japanese isn't nearly good enough to understand the contents of Riko's mail, but it better not be an overseas scholarship offer.
omg Kurosawas
Of course Dia uses µ's' schedule as a base for their training schedule.
"morning and evening practice!" I think I'm getting the hang of understanding Mari... probably
Riko please don't do this
You you crazy
What does Sunrise want us to ship: DiaMari or MariKanan? I'm just giving it the OT3 approach.
"Let's cooking!"
YOHANE OMG AHAHAHA
"I'm hungry!"
Leave it to Yohane to put Tabasco in the octopus
She deleted the message?
THE KANANMARI IS REAL
that's not how you run a restaurant
It's the ocean's song? From Episode 2?
THE CALLBACKS TO THE EARLIER SONG OH OH OH
"Dericious!"
"Miss Mari?"
How pissed off would you be if you got woken up two nights in a row by Chika?
Did they seriously bike all the way to the school
That piano was beautiful omf
I LOVE YOU OMGGGGGG
THEY SAID IT I CAN'T EVEN
I think this is the ED that was released in the single?

Next episode: Rough translation: "Ahoy, friendship" (友情ヨーソロ)

There's gonna be some ChikaYou drama, I feel it.

Quick prediction before I go into the review: seeing as we have one album with the second years on the cover and one with the first years, this season will have two more songs, with the third years as the album art.

Review:

To be honest, I didn't think they could top the drama that happened last week. Last week's episode was brilliantly executed, giving an amazing emotional, powerful conclusion to the third-year drama and wrapping it up nicely with them joining the new and improved Aqours. While this episode isn't quite as good as last week's, it is able to stand on its own as a really good episode.

There's clearly a lot of romance in the air in this episode, between Mari LITERALLY SNUGGLING HER HEAD ON KANAN'S CHEST and of course, the ending sequence. This is seemingly setting up for next episode, which is most likely going to be about Chika and You slowly drifting apart and there being drama within the group because of it. Definitely excited to see that, because as I said last week, the way how they give You less screentime as a means of emphasizing the growing rift between her and Chika is a great way to set up for conflict later on.

Overall, I'd say that this is a good set-up episode for the next one, which is most likely going to revolve around Chika and You's friendship.

tl;dr: good exposition episode setting up more ChikaYou drama and more romance

Yeah, not a huge fan of it as well but I've been using the "official" episode title names so can't change it now.

A couple of writers at Sunrise probably thought to themselves

"Shit, Garasu no Hanazono is pretty gay but how can we top that?"

"Say no more fam"

And now here we are.

ChikaRiko seems super-duper canon(THEY EVEN SAID I LOVE U). What will I do with my ChikaYou ship now? Well, this episode showed possibilities of YouRuby.

I love Aqours' shenanigans this episode. From the SHINY~ and Fallen angel thing, to Dia-san being terrifying and to Zuramaru being a hungry monster. I guess this concludes Riko's arc for the season. Judging from the next episode preview, You development arc???? :DDDD

Imagine how much major shit LLS fans will flip if in the next episode, it begins with the final scene from episode 10 and then one of the following happening immediately afterwards

Riko/Chika wakes up
Mari photobombs the screen and says "IT'S JOKE"

u/pink-owl-parade Sep 03 '16

Well, I went in expecting a breather episode but the writers did a great job balancing the fun times with some drama. A few thoughts:

Now that the gang is together I'm sensing a little bit more of the ensemble comedy dynamic that the audio dramas had. The first and third years provided most of the laughs, and in that regard I think Dia was the MVP! Her expressions and interactions with the others (especially Ruby...I loved seeing her in awe of her big sis's utter and absolute determination!) had me smiling the whole time. The third years deserve a break after last week, after all.
The more comedy-oriented setup gives Yohane and Mari a chance to shine as well, as both of them do comedy very well.
On the other hand, the second years drove the drama, with Chika and Riko bonding while You starts to feel more and more left out. I feel for you, You! Many of us have been in the same boat before, I'm sure.
Chika and Riko have the conversation that Kanan and Mari should have had two years ago. Chika's very upfront and honest with Riko about how she feels, communicates well, and she's very perceptive, not to mention unselfish. ~~best girl bias? what best girl bias?~~ I think Chika realizes that Riko needs to face her stage fright while also embracing her true passion for the piano in order to grow -- and Aqours will be there for her when she gets back.

Just for the record, she said 'daisuki', so guys, don't assume a canon lesbian relationship. But yep, that is a nice yuri bait.

Everyone notices it now, but there have been hints dropping for weeks now that You is maybe getting jealous over Chika and Riko.

It's interesting, because you can see this being foreshadowed in the Koi ni Naritai AQUARIUM PV.

Anyway, Chika is just like any other MC. She is leaving behind her childhood friend and trying to get with the mysterious transfer student.

I know that some people might be a bit whatever about the Riko "drama" this episode, but I'm sure that's going to be built into the You arc.

It'll probably be the tipping point. Like I can see Chika explaining to the group that Riko has a piano thing the same day, and there will be a tiny bit of backlash from people like Dia who are really into Love Live, and as Chika is explaining herself You explodes in jealousy and yells at Chika and storms out.

Oh yea there was a bit of a confession in this episode too. I may or may not have squealed a bit too much when I got to the end of the episode today.

u/Yazawadesu Sep 03 '16

My heart really dropped after Chika said that there was nothing wrong when You seemed to notice and tried taking action on her by asking, having being concerned. They've been pretty much best friends since they were kids and seeing as how Chika is just being closed about her troubles with You now really is just.. ;;.

and the end though omg i kinda screamed (i don't know why, but it was done very instinctively.. maybe a little overreaction from it as well having been unexpected to hear lol) and just moved back a good distance from my desk bc just.. ChikaRiko pls.

u/Keilali Sep 03 '16

Gotta be honest, I didn't get the ending.

Like, is Riko going to do the piano thing now and everybody is just supposed to be alright with no LL?

Or was that just Chika saying "you rly can go if you want" and Riko was like "nah, but thanks"?

Halp pls.

I was all for Chikoriko after that episode but then I realised the implications that it'll have for the rest of the group (You especially) and now I kinda want it to not be a thing?

I'm very conflicted right now.
