So does anyone else see themselves hating Ruby, Yohane and Mari and their gimmicks with the power of a thousand suns?
>>2086725
I would still like to see AriYuki show up as Aqours rivals.
>>2086856
That... would be phenominal. Why didn't I think of that?
smol nick
found some nicorin
>>2086831
The only one i'm not sure I'm going to like is Mari as she was kind of annoying and one note in the audio dramas. I didn't hate her Though. I kinda hope she is the one "left out" when the cast gets formed into pairings.
Ruby and Yohane won me over in the span of about five seconds when I watched the first episode. Maybe the same thing will happen with Mari once they show more than three seconds of her.
>>2086831
Out of the three, only Ruby. I didn't mind Hanayo being the "shy girl"of the group because she worked hard to get over it and, more importantly, didn't shriek like a murderer was after her.
Yoshiko is totally fine to me because I have a soft spot for chuuni girls. I like oujo-sama types too, so Mari, presumably, won't annoy me either
>>2086831
I'm hoping Ruby's gimmick turns out to be more of a "I don't want people touching me because I don't like them" instead of a "I don't want to be touched cause I'm shy" issue. I know based on what we've seen its probably not gonna happen but it would mean a lot if they could break away from Hanayo type characters.
>>2086831
I think the third years DRAMA is what I'm going to hate the most.
Also, I pray to god Mari doesn't speak with the accent all of the time. It's dumb and annoying and also sounds like the same exact accent they use for european girls.
>when you don't know what couples to get invested in because you don't know what Japan's gonna crank out on NicoMaki/EriNozomi levels
>>2087008
This makes no sense. Even before any hints at shipping potential were given, there already were people going after what we now know are "dark horse" ships, and it predates Sunshine back to the original series.
If you're going to be like those who whine and cry about there "not being anything for their rare ships" then you're missing the point. And otherwise, canon is sure to provide for the obvious NicoMaki/NozoEli level major ships anyway, so whether they have fan popularity or not has little to do with anything in the long run.
>>2087008
I'm just hoping that the fandom doesn't treat Chika as a third wheel like they did Honoka in most cases.
Haven't seen You paired with anyone else. Yet.
>>2086931
>I have a soft spot for chuuni girls
I will never understand that. Whenever I see one in anime, all I can think of is how much someone like that would get bullied and hope they get the help they clearly need.
>>2087012
I don't think we'll have that problem this time around. We already can see that Chika is gayer than Honk, for lack of a better term. More easily shipped, because she's already had really shippy moments.
This might lead to more fracturing when it comes to ships (muse spilt very easily as 4 couples plus Honoka with as a remainder) unless we get another rarely-shipped member.
>>2087025
It seems to be one of those phases youths go through, and are expected to quickly abandon it once they reach a more mature age, or else they'll be ostracized by the rest of society.
Sounds familiar...
Posting best Aqours ship.
>>2086944
>Also, I pray to god Mari doesn't speak with the accent all of the time. It's dumb and annoying and also sounds like the same exact accent they use for european girls.
This. I hated that accent. No offense but Mari's VA isn't Sakura Tange (she can pull off that horrible accent quite well) and it shows. It doesn't sound endearing or "cute" it sounds fucking awful.
>>2087102
I don't get it. I listened to a couple of her character introduction tracks and while she does drop random English in her speach like some kind of reverse-weeb she didn't have a noticeable accent.
>>2087114
>she didn't have a noticeable accent.
Yeah, same goes for me. I don't get those people whining about her voice.
>>2087115
Her voice in the audio dramas is totally fine, it's her one line of dialogue in episode 1 that was really jarring. She's my favourite so far, but damn I hope her voice for the rest of the series is more like the way she spoke in the dramas.
>>2087011
I think they were talking about thatnicomaki/nozoeli fans would "attack" you if you share rare pairs, nee-sama...but i agree with that anon though
>>2087025
>Whenever I see one in anime, all I can think of is how much someone like that would get bullied and hope they get the help they clearly need.
>introducing real life issues in fiction
Chuuni girls are just cute, nee-san. Their delusions are fun and their attitudes are enjoyable.
Plus, you get to have that one-moment-per-season when they break down and drop the chuuni mask and cry or something
>>2087400
>tfw you will never be as gay as Maki
>>2087427
You can be as gay as Maki, Nee-san! I believe in you!
>>2086814
Why did you make a new thread already? The previous one is only on page 5 and has plenty left until hitting image limit.
So far, the only potential ships I see are within the girls' respective year levels, which made me realize that NicoMaki was probably the only super popular cross year level ship. UmiEli was relatively popular too, but that was overridden by NozoEli.
>>2087464
Brace yourself for the YohaRiko supernova. It's coming.
>>2087242
>>introducing real life issues in fiction
But Love Live is set somewhere that resembles the real world. It has loneliness, economic hardship, death, crushed dreams and low self-esteems. I can't pretend it's suddenly a perfect world where someone like Yoshiko wouldn't be massively troubled.
>>2087445
Source? I assume Twitter because reverse image search isn't helping.
>>2087460
Not OP, but with a new episode coming out in a couple of days and the already ongoing discussions, it seems fair to start a new thread since the previous one would fill up quickly anyway. It was at bump limit when the new thread was created. Besides, the thread before that was dangerously close to falling off page 9 because nobody started a new one, at least we can avoid the same situation here.
>>2087469
It's here. Just ever-expanding. What would make a suitable analogy? A bodybuilder piling on the power?
On a related note, I saw one of the loudest, most annoying YohaMaru shippers from the pre-anime period claiming to "not see where YohaRiko comes from" and it was utterly baffling and hilarious at the same time because they were so asspained about their ship being "unpopular" despite, see, episode 1 making Hanamaru and Yoshiko kindergarten playmates and SIF giving Hanamaru a nickname by Yoshiko.
>>2087242
They are fun until you realise they would most likely be treated as friendless weirdoes.
>>2087086
Do you seriously want to push that angle?
>>2087012
Part of the fandom does that but that is mainly the fans who ship what they call the 'main ships' with KotoUmi, NozoEli, RinPana and Honoka with Tsubasa. Maybe it will happen, who knows. If it does I will probably do the same thing I do with any with fics I do not like which is to not read them.

Now this I can get behind
>>2088421
>>2088430
What exactly does -zura signify?
>>2088413
>>2088441
From what I've it's just a meaningless verbal tic. She also refers to herself as "ola" which I assume is supposed to be a corruption of "oira".
So are Hanamaru and Yohane the only ones who haven't been claimed by Alpha Dyke Chikane? I believe she's left her mark of Ruby already.
Zuramaru and Yohane are cute.Yohane calling her 'Zuramaru' was extremely cute.
>>2088465
Technically, Chika already claimed Maru. She was her very first prospect and wasted no time shoving her face in front of her. She also professed interest on pursuing their recruitment of the first years, which might have included Yoshiko.
>>2088465
>tfw I subconsciously typed Chikane
>>2088541
Is it because Chika is like a lesbian Chikane?
>>2088466
Did that happen in the first episode? How didn't I catch that?
That's cuter than cute.
There was a special livestream last night to commemorate Shikaco's second single, SUMMER CHANCE!!
One scenario she had to act out was "rap practice". She provided her own sound effects too (imagine how they usually do on NicoRinPana). When she was done, she said, "My mentor is Tokui Sora."
A NicoPana rap collaboration could have been so, so good. But the closest we ever got was MOMENT RING.
>>2088612
No. It was on the SIF game.
One of the news Aqours chapters.
Here's to hoping the 3rd years will be gay.Personally I ship them as an OT3 but we're gonna get NozoEli again with KananMari and I bet best girl Dia onee-sama will be the leftover, as much as it pains me.
>>2088541
Chika sniffs Riko's shirt to find out if the scent of Otonakizaka and her favourite School Idols is still on it. Chika is a Chika(n).
>>2088257
I am 100% certain AngelxDemon is LLSIFG's ship name for Yohamaru.
I'm surprised of how playful and flirty the new seiyuu are, obviously I'm enchanted by it and it makes me compare them with the μ's seiyuu and all I can see is how much more physical Aqours' seyuu are. And it makes me wonder if it's because Aqours' seiyuu are youger or because it's a suggestion by the production staff in order to appeal to the yuri audience.
>>2088754
>>2088754
I wouldn't be surprised if there was an executive decision to that effect. However, I don't think it is all for show, either. Maybe directions were the catalyst encouraging closeness among the members, but they had to be willing on their parts, too. Rikyako once said something like, the members get along so well it's astonishing, and that was already much earlier on before how things are now.
Furthermore, unlike μ's at a comparable point in time subsequent to their formation, Aqours have been made to undergo bonding activities like their training camp very soon after they were assembled as a team. The First Live, which usually is acknowledged as what brought μ's together cohesively, didn't happen until February 2012. So in less than 20 months, Aqours are already as close as they are, while it took μ's that long to be one group instead of nine separate people.
Reminder to head over to You, Dia and Kanan's pages for the latest Sunshine fix.
"Caption: Come on, stretch your leg out--- It'll be alright. You tried your best to be stylish, right?
Come on, it's going to be alright now!
I've already put a plaster on, so you should be able to walk a little bit now
As a diver, I always have a first aid kit in preparation for all the little scrapes and injuries I get, so it's perfect for disinfecting wounds at times like these I'm sure the pain will go away soon!
But even so, the prized sandals you bought in advance for this year's summer--- Huh.
Hehe
Since I always wear sneakers and sandals bought from discount shops, it's not really my place to say--- Plus, I wear nothing but small beach sandals once it comes to summer!
It's really admirable that Ruby-chan always tries her best to be fashionable
Come on, cheer up?
It's alright. This happens to everyone when they wear brand-new shoes! Don't cry anymore
That's right, if you can't walk, how about I carry you on my back?
---Hehe I guess that's indeed embarrassing
Then try your best for just a little bit more.
Everyone's waiting at the gathering point.
Right?
That's right, I'll cast a charm on you---.

Punctuation is important, friend. Without context this means something entirely different. We try to not type like 4-year-olds here.
Though if it was the effect you were going for, good job.

I mean she's the nico of the group.
My lesbianismmeter is reaching the top scale
>>2088923
How so?
>>2088956
Have you watched the second episode? Pretty much shows how much of a idol nerd she is.
Karuha wrote a little KotoUmi comic its on pixiv.
>>2088962
But Nico wasn't the only idol nerd in the group. Hanayo falls under that category as well.
>>2088969
Dia tried to create an idol group, and honestly she does have some attitude.
>>2088923
>Dia is the Nico of the group
Found my Aqours favorite
I can't wait until they get past this ChikaRiko thing. It's like season 1 HonoMaki all over again but forced tenfold
This second episode was so great. Yuri everywhere.

>>2089001Riko: NicoMaki lovechild confirmed. They also have Dia and Ruby. What a family mess.
In just one episode Chika has
> coaxed Ruby with candy to hug her
> looks up Riko's skirt
> failed a hug with Riko only to end up groping a random classmate
> lewd hand holding with Riko
> outright professed her love for µ's
Is she trying to compete with Nozomi for the gayest Love Live?
So the Yoshiko/Riko was blatantly aborted?
>>2089003
Cute, cute, cute.
Now I want a doujin about that.
>>2089004
I think she's hands down winning already. But damn, during that "research" moment, did anyone else hope she's find couple rumors about the Muse members? Because I did. I couldn't stop myself from hoping that she'd read out loud an article headline about NicoMaki or NozoEri or something

It's too soon to say that. It's only episode two. Plenty of time left to throw the YohaRiko shippers some bones too.

Not sure about this...
What is she doing? Is it a mating ritual?

2 episodes in and this is already gayer than the first series.
I honestly see You and Yoshi-Yohane as a brotp
But it's only the second episode, plenty of time for the ships to sail in
siscon confirmed?
Oh my god I need 3rd years drama and healing episode already.
This was a lot gayer than I expected
>>2089006
>So the Yoshiko/Riko was blatantly aborted?
It was never even conceived. Nothing in Sunshine has ever suggested the two together. First music video made it crystal clear it would be ChikaRiko all the way.
http://hobby.dengeki.com/news/226957/
U's is my favorite idol group
>>2089369
We know, Chika.
>>2089369
Come back when you learn to write their name properly. Did Dia teach you nothing? What an embarrassment.
>>2089380
The perfect opportunity to go make that deal. Bringing her her notes.
>Dia gets triggered whenever someone says, mispronounces or writes µ's wrong
Holy shit she's me!
It annoys me to no end when newfriends still can't write the name properly, ask stupid questions like why wasn't Wonderful Rush in the anime or even worse spell Aqours wrong.
I think Dia is now my favourite.
>>2089544
You and me both, sis. I already have a screencap of Dia chewing Chika out that I can whip out whenever I need to.
The supposed "logic" that "muse" is acceptable because of the "meaning" that these people rely on would actually be somewhat believable if they could spell "Aqours" right. "Aqouors" or "Aquors" or somesuch are not just stupid, they're disrespectful to the fan who coined the name with a particular meaning in mind.
>>2089557
Not only that, Muse is a completely different group from µ's. You'll only confuse others if you are familiar with Muse.
I have a vague memory but Muse might also be the name of a music festival in my home city.
Anyway at the end of Ep 2
-My respect for Dia has gone up. She might be my third favourite character now after You and Chika if only because they put my words in her mouth. Even if the production is mocking me, there is still a lot of grain of truth in saying writing U's instead of writing µ's is stupid.
-However, making Dia a fan of µ's and by extension School Idols comes at the cost of retconning the character established in 2015. Dia 2015 thought School Idols were frivolous an shameless at first. Consequently this kills any potential character arc where a upper class ojou who thinks School Idols are too lowbrow for her slowly start to appreciate and enjoy them. Think the Simpsons episode where Bart inadvertently ends up in Ballet and despite his masculinist pre-conceptions eventually came to like it.
-My final concern is that Dia as suggested above turns out to be the Nico of the group right down to her backstory >>2088970. Sunshine does not need to copy everything from the LL anime word for word, it'll just make the anime a repetition. Consequently, it's likely to bore audiences because nobody wants to watch the same thing twice. Either that or they will watch it, see everything's the same and compare it unfavourably with the original. In Sunshine's favor, there's no suggestion yet that they are actually including the whole save the school with pop story from S1.
-Final word: Disappointed we did not see AriYuki or anyone familiar in Riko's flashback. It seems like her arc will involve Chika and School Idols giving her the courage to overcome her stage fright.
-Beware of the Uchiura Chika(n). Luring little girls with lollies just to capture them. Sneaking a peak under another girl's skirt. Lewd finger touching.

"It's tough to be on the move from an event."
Rippi making a surprise appearance at Jolno's birthday live is already known because of the official word out. But reports tell a more interesting story: Kussun was there as well, having rushed down immediately after JWAROS 2016 earlier in the day, sitting with Rippi before Rippi left to go onstage; when covering the song which had lyrics she wrote for Rippi, Jolno retorted at the audience "you're going to be smug about this again, like 'you'll make Kussun jealous' or whatever"; after the cover was done and people yelled for her to cover other songs, Jolno's response was "I won't cover Kussun's songs, I know what you're thinking"; even Jolno's higher-up at NBC who brought the cake out said sorry for not being Kussun.
Now the real question is, if Kussun really could be jealous, then of who...?
>>2087014

>>2090891
A lot of those comparisons are kind of superficial. For instance, after you get past the student council president aspect, Dia and Eli are very different. Eli is capable and elegant... Dia is clumsy and a tryhard.
>>2090898

>>2090966
It gets better. The kaomoji at https://twitter.com/kusudaaina/status/752826375568891904 is, according to FFXIV players, a reference to the "Beauty Is Only Scalp Deep" sidequest, and Jandelaine says "Happy birthday!"
Nicking a picture from weibo because I don't play.
Coming from Kusuda "Would Rather Play Otome Games" Aina, the implication here is that she's specifically using a FFXIV injoke to cater to Nanjolno's interests, as she would definitely understand the meaning behind it.
>>2091194
>tfw they made Chika the gayest Aqours
I still don't like her.
>>2092032
You says in her self-introduction that she does weight training and runs daily. Add to that all the swimming/diving she does, and it's likely she has a typical swimmer's physique, which some fan artists have run away with.
>>2092028
Man I hope DiaMari ends up being the main ship that ends up arising from the 3rd year threesome nonsense
>>2092040
Anon, stop. My heart can't take any more.
I want them to marry already!
>>2092159
That's needlessly spiteful, sis. I don't ship it myself, nor buy into all the third year threesome stuff, but I can understand if people like the dynamics from their playing off each other.
Then again the CVs and magazines ship Kanan/Mari, and the ED sequence and unit arrangements hint at Kanan/Dia, so I can't help envisioning that you're going to be really quite disappointed indeed.
>>2090818
They also have the exact same bust. Imagine You when she finds out.
The fact that Chika's oldest sister looks like an older Nico, what with her black hair and red eyes has left me more convinced than ever that Chika is in fact HonoNico's love child.
Happy Birthday Yohane.
>>2092040
I love it when they are still this gay even after Last Live.
At least it doesnt seem just like publicity act.

If that isn't destiny I don't know what is.

Is there a memorial item for the first ep?

>Silver-haired childhood friend is the first to join and becomes your costume designer
>Golden-eyed shy girl becomes your composer

A picture of Kimeta Yo! Hand in Hand.
>>2093613
Umi doesn't compose anything, she's the lyricist.
Also the episode 1 memorial item was a photo frame, not a picture, which you would have known if you actually looked at the page you had linked to.

>I wonder if Chika subconsciously realises she's following in the footsteps of her Idol Honoka?
That's a nice way to put it.

I did look at the page. The item looks like a picture to me.

I really want this to happen.
From the new episode.
>>2094738
>>2094741
Time to bring this back.
The attempt at some sort of continuity with the magazines came as a surprise, given what we've seen from the writing in the μ's anime.
She never stop?
You created her own harem within few days. You is very good.
>>2094799
Chika sure likes to skirt the line between suave and creepy.
>>2094884
>boys
Stop that.
But hell yeah I'm happy for the ship fuel. Apparently ダイマリ was trending on Japanese twitter.
>>2094800
Yet Chika will never see her as anything more than a friend.
>>2094902
(You)
>>2094800Heil Nico?
>>2094967
Yousoro!Do you even Haifuri?
I don't know if Aquarium has anything to do with what will happen in the story. Some of /u/ was guessing that Chika would be directing all of her attention at Riko, making You feel left out but that doesn't seem to be happening.
>>2094986
MVs are MVs. Anime might reference them but they don't have anything to do with each other.

Been watching the entire series start to finish, S2 E08 is the gayest episode yet.
https://my.mixtape.moe/sjtxpb.webm
>>2087469
Please let this become a real thing.
>>2095311
Of course.
>>2094799
Alpha Dyke kabedon's an unsuspecting victim and turns her Gay For Life. The lesbian agenda at work
>>2095311
The anime is implying You x Yohane pretty heavily, though.
>>2095389
Yeah, she even recognized Yohane from afar.
This is definitely the pairing.
>>2095343
It's destiny. Fate. UNMEI. It's happening.
>>2095401
Not really. She just said she looked familiar. She couldn't tell it's Yohane.
>>2095436
At that distance, even looking familiar is impressive.
But how many times have You and Yohane interacted anyways?
>>2087469
sure
>>2095442
>But how many times have You and Yohane interacted anyways?
As far as I know, none. I'm guessing there was no way to fit Hanamaru in that scene and the writer needed for someone to notice her.
>>2095442
You is naturally observant and has an eye for detail. It didn't have to do anything with Yohane in particular. Could've been any of the other girls. Some anons think they are gonna be one of the "given ships" because they hold hands in the ending but we shall see. Aside from that, so far they've got nothing going for them.
>>2095451
That's true, but people seems to believe that Chika x You/Riko x Yoshiko are a thing when the anime has made pretty clear that Chika x Riko is what they are selling.
>>2095455
>made pretty clear that Chika x Riko is what they are selling.
Not really.
>>2095457
I'm not saying that they won't throw a bone or two to other ships, but they clearly have "favorite" ones. Just like Nico x Maki and Eli x Nozomi were in S2
>>2095455
>Chika x Riko is what they are selling.
Anon please. Firstly, it's only episode 3. And secondly, it's obvious they are selling a wider variety of /u/ bait, not just ChikaRiko. There's gonna be a little bit of everything for everyone.
>>2095459
ChikaYou is just as viable as ChikaRiko. At least wait a few more episodes. Both pairings have about the same amount of art on pixiv.
>>2095457
You serious
>>2095459
It's only episode 3. Back in the beginning of season 1 of Love Live! you would have said HonoMaki is their "favorite" and that's what they are selling. It's the same with ChikaRiko.
>>2095464
Yes, let's forget about an entire music video that heavily shipped these two.
>>2095457
You can ship who you want but its pretty clear they've they've been selling ChikaxRiko on the official material. No need to be in denial, its not healthy.
Still this is Love Live, a franchise that is all-inclusive to all ships. There just needs to be understanding what the dived is between official material and fanon preference without being obnoxious about your favorite ship.
>>2095474
The same can be said about ChikaYou. What's your point?
>>2095464
Not really the same. HonoMaki was practically obscure before season 1 and only grew after that. ChikaRiko was being shown everywhere before Sunshine even aired.
>>2095475
It's still too early. That's not the official pairing until we've seen more.
>>2095464
The difference is that they didn't know what they were doing back in S1 of the original. They didn't even have the most popular paring interact much which caused rage. They understand what the fanbase wants these days. Not that I'm on either side of this argument. I'm waiting until all of this airs before watching it.
>>2095493
>They understand what the fanbase wants these days
No they don't
I cant believe they are pulling an (Kancolle's) Iowa on Love Live. So annoying, yet so gay.
>>2095514
Forgot image
>>2095512
I don't know, this seems way gayer than the original show.
>>2095457
Not sure if newfag or not but go watch MV1.
>>2095529
>this seems way gayer than the original show.
Exactly. I think they finally heard us.
>>2095529
Of course. Now they hold hand instead of putting them on the centre.I am afraid someday the TV will not broadcast this anymore due to being overly indecent.
>>2095044
and none of them shows up
>>2095044
>male
What's a 'male'?
>>2095576
>Only watched one episode
>Calling people autists
Truly an authority.
>>2095576
>No, I've never watched any of them
ChikaRiko have been a thing almost since Aqours announcement a year ago.
>>2095579
No, I'm pretty sure I put an "s" at the end of episode.
>>2095044
>>2095557
>>2095619
Don't you see the breasts? Is a short haired woman.
And no, I'm not being sarcastic.

Then your homework for this week is to watch the MVs and download every single by the next episode.
>>2095557
Does that mean Mito-nee work in an womans-only office?
Idols must be some sort of girly girl hobby in this universe because the only guys that show up in concerts are dads.
Not that I'm complaining.
>>2094799
>>2094878
Not sure if this counts as a Seiyuu joke but I'll give them full props if they managed to work in Suwawa's love of Hidamari and Madoka Magica.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j2O_sV9VVCI
Chika and You is in CYaRon though, hope it will raise their relationship more.
>>2095579
is there any more art of them? they're so cute
>>2095870
Not many seem to ship them (yet). We'll have to wait until Kanan gets properly introduced in the anime I guess
>>2095816
Don't know if that will happen but AnShuka is a thing.
This thing was the best of the new episode.
>>2095565
She's really alpha for some reason
>>2095794
And how would that happen anyway? There is no in-universe or in-character reason for such a thing. It would defeat the purpose to bend over backwards just to fit a reference in, just as we see from certain poorly-written fanfics.
Chika's kabedon, for instance, suits the narrative, but not to the exclusion of people who would miss the reference. If you got it, it's a bonus, if you didn't, you lose nothing.
As it were, depending on how we look at things, Kanan missing school could be seen as an inversion of Suwawa balancing school and work. It would then come full circle if, upon her eventual return, Kanan is shown to have no trouble catching up, defying the dumb jock stereotype.
Have a strong feeling everyone will be paired in indistinguishable 3s like kotohonoumi
and i HATE that
>>2096261
>And how would that happen anyway?
Have Kanan do art class with Riko when Riko checks up on her she finds her sketching a Sun shining over Uchiura. Literally Sunshine Sketch or the name Hidamari Sketch is published under in NA.
Alternatively have Kanan read a manga under a bland name like Hitamari
>>2096516
> art class with Riko
I see what you did there.
>>2096421
Same here
Nanjo's style is socute.
I wish she could do more things with Kussun.
>Watching episode 2
>Chika literally luring Ruby out with candy.
And here I thought Nozomi wouldn't lose her position as Love Live's resident molester.
>>2096685
Like marry her.
>>2097323
Given Kussun's response to the marriage rumors earlier in the year, that seems unlikely.
Maybe it's because I can ship her more easily than I could Honoka, but I already like Chika a bit more - especially as a main character/center of the group. She feels more earnest, in some way.
Also, she's totally alpha-lesbian-tier in a way that Honk never was (not that I hated Honk at all).
>>2097371
What happened?
Anybody still remember when Nanjolno wrote in to Fight Club the time Kussun was guest?
It seems to have set a good example for the kouhai-chans, since Suwawa was invited for a special appearance on UraRaji so the third-year Aqours members were all present to celebrate Ainya's birthday. Arisha even had to turn to her for help calming Ainya down.
For those who missed last week's episode, Suwawa's turn was already over after it came to a close, but she proposed sitting in for this week. Of course, >>2095515 shows one possible reason for that suggestion.
>>2098062
"Good evening on this late night.
Hello, it's Kussun.
I’m sure I said this during an event, but I…
am not married!
I’m sure there are those who don’t believe me…
Please stop spreading this false rumors…Please do it for Kussun.
It will worry many people…"
>>2098138
Adding on some context: Murota, one of the leading LL artwork staff, posted a picture in which part of his wife's jawline and neck was shown. Some netizens overreacted, claiming it was Kussun based on perceived similarities with her appearance. The picture has since been taken down.
>>2098138
At the very least this shows that people feel she's straight.
>>2098141
Also, in her subsequent tweets:
>https://www.twitter.com/kusudaaina/status/728612013904039936
>https://www.twitter.com/kusudaaina/status/728613023250710533
Kussun lowkey expressed support for Murota by using similar phrasing as he did, "My kids. Aren't they adorable?" She also mentioned that she wasn't angry and had a laugh out of it, but tweeted anyway because many people were concerned.
>>2097677
I've always felt sorry that Honker's the only one left out of the """official""" pairings.
>>2098167
Please don't feed the obvious blogging anons. It gives the impression that their ~~opinions~~ mean anything.
>>2098174
By that logic most of this thread is blogging.
>>2090424
The plot thickens. Kussun has gone on record, in front of an audience, to say that she indeed was there that evening, sitting next to Rippi. Because they were in the dark, according to her, she didn't realize it was Rippi beside her until staff turned up to bring Rippi stageside.
We can draw two conclusions from this.
1) Kussun was so engrossed watching Nanjolno, it didn't even occur to her that Rippi, whom she dotes on and fawns over all the time, was in the adjacent seat.
2) Kussun must have witnessed all the "Kussun's gonna be jealous" remarks and all the jibes which mentioned her.
>>2098174
>people's opinions

>>2097677
>Maybe it's because I can ship her more easily than I could Honoka, but I already like Chika a bit more - especially as a main character/center of the group. She feels more earnest, in some way.
I was actually thinking about this today. I think Chika is just a more consistent character (so far). Honoka went from klutz to "I don't care what happens to this school" to "OMG I gotta save the school" to perfect leader to "Crawling In My Skinnnnnnnnnnnnn" throughout the first season.
Based on motives, Chika's dream of becoming a school idol in order to better herself is more believable and relatable.
And yes, Chika's "chikan" moments are great.
>>2098663
Honoka was't that inconsistent, her deal was being extreme at everything (except a being an alfa lesbian like Chika is) and having Umi and Kotori as her brakes and enabler respectively. I like Honoka a lot, but I do admit liking Chika, so far, more than I did with her at this same stage.
>>2098663
I wouldn't necessarily say that Honk was inconsistent so much as she was, like that other anon said, extreme: she put herself fully into everything, and in turn received the consequences just as fully (hence going from "super into LL" to "CRAWLING" in S1). Sunrise (un?)intentionally drew a comparison to this in ep.3 when You and Shima-neesan were discussing how Chika previously half-assed most things she was into, or lost interest easily - she's the opposite of Honoka in that regard.
That said, I find Chika a bit more believable/understandable so far, and adding on her alpha-lesbian tendencies/easier shipping possibilities, she really grew on me quickly, and a lot more than I had initially expected.

People do occasionally fail to notice things like this, doesn't mean every one who does is new. If I was new, I wouldn't recall the shitstorm over pairings that always breaks out between NozoEli and EliUmi shippers ad nauseum for at least 2years running.
Remember, /u/ is for quality, /a/ is the designated shitpost location for all the anime boards.

And this is the LLSS OTP.
>>2095169
I was just rewatching that episode. That was some ultra gay shit right there.
So the reason people are shipping Riko and Yohane is because it reminds them of NicoMaki? That's retarded.
If we go by that logic then Mari x Dia makes a lot more sense and they're practically Nozomi and Eli.
>>2096421
I'm almost certain that will be the case for the 3rd years.
>>2101315
The dynamic of the DiaMari pairing reminds me more of NozoNico honestly
best Nico ship
