Now that you mentioned it, I can definitely see this show going in a direction of “retelling, but fantasy”. Took me a while to remember that we’ve already had a Lailaps in Sunshine though, at first I thought the show is just referencing Greek mythology for no reason in particular :P

Thanks, never heard that term.

First of all, as a long time Love Live fan (since first SIP), I am once again amazed how far has this franchise come in terms of production quality – both animation and sound. Well deserved congratulations to Sunrise and Lantis for not only keeping Love Live alive all these years but also improving it.

As for the today’s episode, I like the setting. Weird mix of magic, this characteristic pseudo-medieval generic fantasy style, and modern technology like cars, trains, train station announcers etc. seems appealing to me, and nothing really felt out of place. Not much in terms of plot to talk about as for now.

Anyway, I wonder how it will be received by viewers who are not part of Love Live fandom.
