the LL movie did feel kind of lacking to me. like there wasn't enough Stuff to fill all the time, and also one or two of the songs was totally uninteresting.

anyway, the first two episodes of sunshine have been great, and i think this might turn out to be an even better series than the original. as surface-level as it is, i appreciate that they gave a character an unusual hobby like scuba diving. it might be surface level characterization, but it's better than nothing.

i actually kind of like how they're using the seaside setting so far. there's a lot of random shots of them out on the ocean, a few members of the main cast have hobbies and interests relating to the sea, etc. the most the original love live did with its setting was acknowledging japan's largest alpaca farm.

Sidenote, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO BEST GIRL YOSHIKO YOHANE

WE ARE ALL HER LITTLE DEMONS

Yoshiko celebration incoming. In the interim, current numbers of results for the Sunshine girls on pixiv!

Yoshiko: 1624
You: 1165
Riko: 1104
Chika: 1093
Zura: 938 :wtc:
Ruby: 929
Mari: 868
Dia: 834 :mad:
Kanan: 666 :devil:

Makes sense that Yoshiko would be so high, seeing as she's the first to celebrate a birthday since the anime began, but she was awfully high even before. I'm mad as heck Dia that Dia is so low, and confused that Zura isn't down there with Kanan.

zura is high because she has two characters that you can draw her hanging out with

technically kanan is friends with you and chika but she isn't like constantly hanging around them she's just an older friend they talk to sometimes

Dia and Mari's time will come. All the 3rd years got low rankings in that first vote for center.

hosed up that the third years (the coolest years) are least popular.

I remember some of the pre-release stuff had Kanan and Chika hanging out a lot. Like, the 1st (only?) manga chapter was just those two. But I suppose most of the pvs and the anime focused a lot on the 2nd years as a group.

Happy birthday to Yoshiko.

As always, the Aqours crew has birthday voices for today in SIF:

CHIKA: Little Demon, Chika Takami! Today, I'm gonna sing a birthday song for Yoshiko!
RIKO: Little Demon, Riko Sakurauchi. Yoshiko... er, I mean Yohane, happy birthday.
KANAN: Today is Yoshiko's birthday. The "Yo" in "Yoshiko" is the "yo" you use to write "good girl", and Yoshiko's a real good girl.
DIA: She's always talking about Yohane or whatever, but I'm only celebrating Yoshiko Tsushima's birthday.
YOU: Little Demon, You Watanabe! I'm gonna go harvest a lot of mandarins for Yoshiko's birthday party.
YOSHIKO: Today's the holy festival of Yohane's birth! Let's have a grand celebration, my Little Demons! ... Hey! Stop calling me Yoshiko!
HANAMARU: It always reminds me of my childhood days whenever I'm with Yoshiko. Happy birthday, Yoshiko.
MARI: The holy festival of Yohane's birth? Sounds great. Let's all become Little Demons and have a celebration!
RUBY: Happy birthday, Yoshiko. I'm your Little Demon, Yoshiko.

I'm really hoping there's some ontological mystery behind this and it wasn't something mundane like "Yohane wrote it."

I think it was Mari, though a wistful Kanan would be my second guess.

I thought it was Dia but since she saved the concert she probably didn't do that as well. Also, Mari is great and I am glad she is the new principal.

For a moment I was a bit disappointed they were doing the same thing as in the original with the first concert being a huge failure, but i'm glad that didn't end up happening. I'm happy that Chika's sisters and their classmates got very involved in helping out the concert. Uranohosi seems like a cool place.

Holy cripes, I feel like so much fanon got 100% confirmed in that episode.

Also I'm glad that Yohane calls Hanamaru "Zuramaru" here too.
