Love Live! #08 — Rub Downs

February 24th, 2013

 

I still don’t fully understand why the alpacas exist.

Impressions:

There’s probably something sinister about how Eri’s little fangirl group follows her around and is ready to rub her down at a moment’s notice. Or at the very least, something the school should probably be looking into before it erupts into a fullblown lesbian slave ring. Besides, you’re supposed to dab, not rub. Who wants barn animal spit rubbed into them? I’m still missing the energy and goofiness from the first episode or two. I think that the show’s cast has probably gotten too big for its own good and its attempts to fit every single character into every episode are just diluting things, especially with most of the girls becoming part of the amorphous mass known as μ’s, all but losing whatever their original gimmick was and being reduced to mostly differentiated by hair color.

Well, I guess that Eri not being a particularly strong character probably didn’t help this episode much either. Her little ballerina sob story is poor at best, and overcome just by being around them and having her rant it out based on… uh… hormones? You’d think they could’ve come up with something new for the final girl of their group but no, apparently not. The passive healing powers of lesbianism win again.

Preview:

And then they run a maid cafe.

    Hey, I’m fairly sure that wearing a maid outfit is also some kind of idol activity in Japan.

  • Yumi says:

    Would it be better if it was an alpaca petting zoo episode?

  • Anonymooose says:

    There’s nothing wrong with magical lesbianism. It’s better than having a guy ruin everything, at the very least.

    They need to Improve the “FPS” in their CG to look Good.
