Cried during the waterfront scene with Dia and Ruby. Dia has gone from my least favourite character in season 1 to one of my favourites.
Daily reminder that you should read Dia's diary because it greatly enhances her character development. It made me see her entirely differently. Same applies for Riko.
Also loving the continuation of the "dealing with failure" theme. This is one (of many) major ways that sunshine differentiates itself from SIP. Personally I've found it incredibly emotionally engaging and continue to feel that way.
Also, quoting an user who had an insightful observation from a recent thread: >The 1st half of the episode was great for the fact that Ruby barely spoke yet her feelings were clearly understood. Great example of show don't tell.
>Daily reminder that you should read Dia's diary because it greatly enhances her character development SID Dia and anime Dia are two different characters though.
Christopher Ramirez
Wrong.
Christopher Long
I unironically cannot stand SIDs >hurr durr I will not marry but I sure love Eli xddd It's not like I hate EliUmi but this is just fucking retarded, it's like a fucking /u/ fanfic

Diaries are part of the Sakurako's setting. Riko's diary = manga chapters 7-8 for example.
Michael Ross
The SIP diaries explicitly refer to events in the anime
Parker Gomez
Oh god! A song by the little sisters dedicated to their older sisters in the next episode?! I can't wait.
Adrian Bell
I unironically think they are one of the best aspects of the franchise, although I'll admit that a few chapters are somewhat ham-fisted
Nathaniel Johnson
same
I want Lantis to take all my wageslave suffering coupons
Logan Smith
Sunshine diaries explicitly refer to events in the g's magazine/manga. There's no "original" 3rd years aqours, Dia isn't an idolfag, Chika and Kanan are the best friends ever etc.
Cameron Russell
I think you're right regarding sunshine, but I'm not sure that the same can be said for SIP
I may be wrong though
Nicholas Evans
Which aqours can backflip? I'm thinking You, Kanan, and Chika.

>it's like a fucking /u/ fanfic You aren't wrong. >Sakurako Kimino >Strawberry Panic
Mason Hernandez
Dia-chan is so amazing that she can do anything!
Easton Moore

Also, they can always wear leggings.
Carson Martin
Goddamn. Ive been wearing pajama bottoms under my jeans at my own job. I can't imagine going out sans pants in this kind of weather. Well, not sober.
They're summoning the original twintail loli to make the best idol group ever existed,.

nico died from the transition between SIP and sunshine and split into two, ruby and negaruby. Ruby contains all of her happy traits whereas negaruby contains all of her sad ones
Episode 8 was the reformation of the original nico
Jordan Bennett
All of them, the problem is that there's also no guy around in the love live universe.
Oliver Harris
now sunrise needs to merge them back together and bring back the real best idol of the universe
Matthew Rivera
Nico is eternal
Jace Kelly

Kanan would probably be the best gf, though you might have to fight of Mari

The Ruby for my proud inner pedo. And she's beautiful.
