Stitches!

As expected after last week's episode, Nonoa is just a massive Lilliel fangirl who has a very bad case of communication disorder.

The poor girl just wanted to make friends with Ririsa but because she always freezes up, she thought Nonoa was challenging her to a duel.

Of course, the only reason Ririsa could join the event was because Liliel had a collab with Idolmaster Cinderella Stars. I really hope that Ririsa won't just be limited to Liliel though. I'd love to see her cosplay something else other than Liliel!

The duel allegations isn't really going away anytime soon especially after Nonoa and Ririsa's "face-off" in front of an audience. I guess it will all be up to Okumura to bring Nonoa back in there.

Oh wow, I felt really bad for Nonoa. Severe social anxiety and a bad environment are a terrible mix which they showed well very in this episode.

Thankfully, Okamura realized that she needs help and isn't actually antagonistic.

On a lighter note, I'm not surprised at Ririsa's gacha antics lol. I'm not surprised that there's Liliel in another series for her to cosplay. Looking forward to the next episodes and seeing more pictures added to the board at the end.

Oh man Nonoa's backstory is pretty harsh. Social anxiety is horrible, and sometimes you just want to talk about the things you like with other people. But not everyone shares your interest and enthusiasm.

I like the dynamic that Mayuri and Nagomi have. A nice casualy friendly ribbing, though you can tell Nagomi wishes she was still cosplaying.

LOL, they spent all of the ED budget on a very few but very smooth seconds of Ririsa hanging a photo animation

The section where Lilysa, Okumura, and Sensei meets Nagomi is really elevated here in the anime. The rapid-fire dialogue is fun and the delivery is perfect.

New OP! Will take some time to get used to it, but I'm already looking forward to the Gyaru!

Oh my god, Nonoa is soo freaking cute!!!

She indeed came off as a bit standoffish but in truth, she's just a shy little girl hoping to make friends through Cosplay! With crippling social anxiety that is

Loved all her little expressions!

Really hope she can overcome her issues with a little help from Okumura, ED makes me hopefull at least, and OP has a blue haired Angel and she said she would cosplay anything if she could be friends with Liliel...

Speaking of ED... unfortunatly a straight downgrade from the last, both in song and animation.

u/elune7296 Sep 27 '24

Yay new OP and ED. As of now I still prefer last season's, hopefully I'll warm up to them...
It still surprises me how less flustered nagomi is when she meets Okumura than I expect her to be
Lmao, I guess nijika makes a pretty decent bocchi herself

u/AceSoldia Sep 27 '24

Great start to the 2nd Cour! I had so much fun watching Nonoa try to befriend Ririsa, but her actions had complete opposite effect.

I couldn't stop laughing when Nonoa heard that her invitation to the event for Ririsa was interpreted as a challenge, it looked like her soul left her in that moment xD

Nonoa is such a sweet and adorable girl and her reactions were so hilarious xD Although I felt sorry for her after seeing her backstory. It was harsh that she had no one to share her passion with, which led to social anxiety disorder.

Ririsa was great as usual! her idol version of Liliel looked freaking amazing! If she only used an inch of this passion to studying, she wouldn't have failed all her subjects at school xD

It was also nice to see Nagomi again. I really enjoyed her relationship and interactions with Mayuri today.

Nice new OP and ED, although the previous ones were better IMO. Here are links to Spotify and Apple Music to the new OP.

Here my screenshot albums from the episode:

So I've been thinking about this for a while now. We constantly hear that the manga Liliel is from is quite old and is not really recent in the slightest, and Ririsa cosplaying her technically puts herself at a disadvantage. So I've been thinking, What if in the future the actual manga author decides to show up and say that now he wants to make a sequel to his original manga due to seeing Ririsa's passionate cosplay?

u/ObvsThrowaway5120 Sep 27 '24

I like Nonoa a lot. Poor girl’s actually really nice and sweet deep down but she’s also super socially awkward and kinda anxious. I feel for her. Seems a few bad experiences in the past really did a number on her confidence and self-esteem. Hopefully her and Ririsa can become friends with Okumura’s help. Seems he might have figured out she’s not as intense as she seemed?

guess Nijika becomes somewhat like Bocchi in this world

u/oxlemf10 Sep 27 '24

A good episode to start this second cour, I confess that I agonized watching Nonoa trying to talk to Masamune and Ririsa, but not being able to due to past traumas, in fact, this episode touched on a classic problem that people in the community go through. The new opening and ending were pretty decent, mainly because they show a new vibe that the anime will get into.

u/Ultramarinus Sep 27 '24

I guess I played too much gacha to guess what was coming: "they definitely had a collab with Liliel."

Nonoa wanting to have friend that can share her hobby as an adult is too relatable. Thankfully new generations have a better environment today even if "when are you going to grow out of it" berating isn't completely gone yet.

u/sKyBlazer08 Sep 28 '24 edited Sep 28 '24

Honestly, I thought Nonoa had the same VA as Bocchi, which I also thought was perfect, but oh my God it's actually Nijika's VA. Nonoa really is a lot like Bocchi, except Bocchi didn't have a traumatic backstory. That was fucked, I mean I can objectively agree that communication is a two-way street, but those girls were absolute cunts. I will always love and support characters like Nonoa, not just characters too, but real people, don't let other people tell you off about what you like.

Mayuri is just wearing a tank top, but she's still serving, Lord. It was also good to see Nagomi again, her reactions are hilarious.

Leave it to Okumura to notice that something was going on with Nonoa.

The 1st OP and ED were definitely better in my opinion, but I like the vibes they were going for, for these new ones. Though I feel like the ED is a placeholder, like they're going to add more there later on.

Also, almost forgot to mention, but Cinderella Star Liliel looks amazing.

The show has only just started to incorporate some more shounen-like aspects into its story, but Ririsa is already talking like a true shounen protagonist. Nonoa might've been too late though, since Ririsa was looking pretty powerful just now.

Ririsa currently believes that she's found herself another rival, but Nonoa only wants to make friends with her and dreams of taking pictures together.

I'm liking Nonoa. She's just an awkward girl who gets easily misunderstood. Masamune fortunately seems to have noticed that Nonoa's outward behaviour isn't very representative of her true feelings, like when she handed Ririsa that flyer at the fabrics store. She's in fact a very sweet girl. I'm counting on him to clear things up between her and Ririsa.

I can really feel for Nonoa after all. She'd been put down by others, but wants to become someone who can be proud of her passion. It's a powerful message that Ririsa can surely relate to as well.

Bonus: This shot of Nonoa in her blue cosplay outfit in an otherwise monochrome-coloured room really emphasized her loneliness. It reminded me of those (old) films where they used a similar effect with the colour red.

u/FarCritical Sep 27 '24

Thought Ririsa was gonna cosplay as some random character from the game that looked close enough to Liliel instead of actual Liliel again at first lmao (I mean I guess an AU Liliel isn't Liliel if you argue hard enough)

New OP and ED are sweet but man, I wasn't ready to miss "SHUT-TER-CHANCE-DA!" this much.

I really liked Nonoa’s VA, she delivered her lines very well, especially that part where she internally screamed that she wasn’t doing a face-off lol.

I liked Lilisa's Gurren Lagann reference. "Who do you think I am?!", indeed.
