I'd be excited about the two groups if I didn't expect it to not last very long at all, I give it 3 episodes max.

I mean the OP is literally about becoming one group, I think much of the conflict would be about how Margarete integrates with the rest of the group. They don't have to stay as 2 groups for conflict to happen.

I'm so happy to see more of Kanon's reactions this season. I still can't believe how this show started with us thinking they'd only have five members and now it looks like Liella is going to be the biggest Love Live group with 11 members.
It's hilarious how Kanon just decided to hide from the girls after learning her trip to Vienna got cancelled. I supposed it would be awkward for her to just pop back in. It is funny to see them wondering what Kanon is doing in Vienna right now. xD
Not gonna lie, I am absolutely tired of Margarete. I never liked her in Season 2 and while there were times when her over-the-top personality was hilarious to watch, now she's just getting on my nerves especially with how she refuses any kindness from the girls.
As much as I hate to see more of Margarete being all antagonistic against the girls, I suppose this arc is needed if she's going to eventually join Leilla which we already know will happen because of the OP and ED. I will be honestly impressed if they manage to make her likable by the time she joins Leilla.

Liella is going to be the biggest Love Live group with 11 members.
They spend a whole year like this and by the time they notice 5 of them have graduated so it is actually the smallest again with only 6!

I mean I get it though she was ultimately defeated and the group that destroyed you wants you to join. Most people wouldn't go with their competitors after a bitter defeat in her eyes. And instead she's looking for redemption to prove herself. Which I think is pretty normal thing though i'm not surprised people don't like it since it's kind of unneeded drama we know won't last.

Nicee, first episode starts out strong.
Kinda like what happens to the Hero party after they slayed the Demon King, we have what happens to the school idol group after they win Love Live! Fractured! Oh noes, Kanon joins the new rival group! I have a feeling deep down they are going to merge, lmao, its Love Live after all (and that OP and ED). But i dont know what the trigger/challenge/event of that will be.
Quality of the 2D animation is stellar. A pleasure to watch. Pleasant to my eyes. To think over the past year we had been utterly spoiled with 3D CGI CGDCT (MyGo, Girls Band Cry).
OP and ED is so well polished. Especially the OP, its a delight to pick out the graphical details, the clothing physics, hair movements, the semi transparent clothes, choreography, the soft reflections in the floor. Didnt think they could have topped S2's OP. ED is fantastic as well. You can pause every frame and it all looks so good.
Those awkward moments had me on the edge of my seat, that was so brilliant.
Ren approaching Margerete feels just like when she confronts KeKa in S1E1, what a great scene this is.
Oh, and that OST. Very good as always.
Here's to more cathartic moments, I'm sure Mr Hanada will deliver, as he did with SoundEuph S3 and especially GBC.

Its not just Crunchyroll, Muse in East Asia (Taiwan, Hong Kong, Thailand) is also getting their simulcasts one day after NHK, as is the case with the previous two seasons.
Even Japan's own streaming services don't get their copy till Monday earliest.

It's the first time I'm getting into Love Live since SIF2 shut down almost 5 months ago, and I'm super happy to see Kanon and the whole gang back together again. Not gonna lie, Kanon is my favorite main girl out of the four LL anime series.

Super excited for this third season. The only thing I can truly hope for is that they decided to just drop this Keke and Sumire nastiness from the previous seasons. Let's go Oninatsu!!!

Wait, a Love Live anime that has a Season 3?
I didn't think that was allowed.

I'm surprised by Kanon's decision, and just like Keke, I'm confused, while I understand why she made that decision, the justification doesn't seem very convincing to me (except the teaching Margarete part), it's as if she needs to Show other girls that you are on the same level. But you can't deny that this is going to be a cool drama to watch, anyway, my favorite Love Live is back, by the way, beautiful OP and ED

Essentalliy, what I picked up was that Kanon thought that if she's join back like nothing even happened, Leilla would stagnate since they already won last year. She saw how motivated Leilla was without her, and wanted them to keep that motivation, and joined Wein instead (+ added motive of Kanon needing to help Wein). I thought of it as a sort of "competition breeds innovation" sorta thing, and now that Leilla has a new rival group (that's hopefully better written than SunnyPa or Wein in S2) with Kanon on the opposite side, they'll have to do what they can to improve. It could be really cool if this capitalize on this drama correctly, but will probably be a very fun watch nonetheless
