Whether it means no more 103rd girls anymore or if the structure of Hasunosora changes altogether, who knows? I'll be there for it, though. Any possibility sounds exciting it all just depends on how they handle it. I'll trust the process.

SilverRay85 @silverray85.bsky.social · 3h

Hasunosora has, once again, made more peak.
Also, it took me until this long to realize the name of the upcoming movie is Bloom Garden Party so that thing is likely going to be the end of this story arc.

bruh the hand holding parallels

Kaho Hinoshita and Kozue Otomune holding hands while grasping an orange flower as both look at each other with tears in their eyes.
Kozue says: "Thank you, Kaho-san..."

SilverRay85 @silverray85.bsky.social · 3h

Kaho offers her hand to Ginko saying: "together."

Ginko takes her hand with both of hers, responding with: "Yes, together."

in unison, both Kaho and Ginko say: "Let's pass our feelings to the future!"

Kaho Hinoshita saying: "Everyday is so much fun because you're here for it, Ginko-chan. I can smile, every single day."

SilverRay85 @silverray85.bsky.social · 3h

Kaho Hinoshita continues: "I may never be able to be a good senior for you..."

Ginko, very bluntly, immediately responds with: "Yeah, obviously." while nodding.

Kaho stutters a bit, stunned, before replying: "But, but! I'll keep trying my best anyways!"

SilverRay85 @silverray85.bsky.social · 3h

"Thank you, Ginko-chan. I... love you too."

SilverRay85 @silverray85.bsky.social · 3h

She even said the same thing Kozue did. "I love your smile".
No words I can say will convey the same weight than just posting the conversation outright

Ginko Momose saying: "In this half a year, I want to put everything I am into being your junior!"

"because, I love your smile so much too!"

SilverRay85 @silverray85.bsky.social · 3h

Kaho shows her maturity here saying that she'd love for them to be together forever but she knows that can't happen. Just like with Kozue, she'll also graduate and that's something Ginko has to grapple with

SilverRay85 @silverray85.bsky.social · 3h

With only half a year left, she doesn't want to have any more regrets and would rather be open and honest about what's really in her heart and agonize over what she does later.

SilverRay85 @silverray85.bsky.social · 3h

Ginko opens up by talking about her regrets at warming up to Kozue too late and now that she's gone she can't talk with her or learn more about her and she feels the same way with Kaho.

SilverRay85 @silverray85.bsky.social · 3h

oh no, she's too much like me

Ginko Momose saying: "In my heart, there's so much I hope to do, yet..."

"All I do is worry over things, because I'm so awkward, and never manage to decide on anything."

"Kosuzu said that's just fine, but... All that time I spend overthinking passes by so quickly, before I realize it, it's gone."

SilverRay85 @silverray85.bsky.social · 3h

how did they do it?
how does KahoxGinko have the same power as KahoxKozue?
Kaho and Ginko's conversation in the flower field is so well done

SilverRay85 @silverray85.bsky.social · 3h

Through this, even if people forget Bloom Days, when they see the flowerbed, they'll remember the event all over again, thus, Ginko's dream won't die so easily

Ginko Momose as she's being deeply appreciative of Kaho responds with: "Geez... If you keep being so kind... I'll never be able to repay you..."

SilverRay85 @silverray85.bsky.social · 3h

Oh, it's too cute. Due to Ginko's passionate speech, the event's going to go on for longer which means that now they'll be able to do the flower planting event Kaho wanted to do.

SilverRay85 @silverray85.bsky.social · 3h

Ceras and Kaho are on the same wavelength this is why they're besties. Kaho will play along with whatever stupid bit Ceras throws out

SilverRay85 @silverray85.bsky.social · 3h

this is the Ginko we know and love, the easy target for getting teased. She's gonna be teased over this confession for a long time

Ginko's Grandmother says: "Why not? Are you lacking confidence? That senior you love so much is already well underway with the preparations."

SilverRay85 @silverray85.bsky.social · 3h

Izumi laughing, hand covering her mouth as she says: "Well, I certainly would've expected you to be more embarrassed after passionately spilling your heart out in front of "your senpai.""

Ginko, hands clutching her head as she comes to the realization: "Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah...!"

Ginko turns away, hiding her face under her hands, saying: "I didn't mean to say all that...!"

SilverRay85 @silverray85.bsky.social · 3h

The interpersonal relationships between characters have always been fantastic but if I had to stop for every single wonderful interaction I would never finish the episode.
oh Izumi, responding to Ginko's comments about Hasunosora changing her as a sign of hope for her that she could also change

SilverRay85 @silverray85.bsky.social · 3h

also, I'll mention it now just cause there's never a good opportunity to do it but it is really cute seeing the 104th girls interacting with each other and growing.

Izumi Katsuragi saying: "My word, the bombshells just wouldn't stop flying out of your mouth."

which includes the fact that Hasunosora has asked the audience to send them data in order to give them enough bandwidth to progress the story in universe which further feeds into the idea that everyone working together can accomplish anything

SilverRay85 @silverray85.bsky.social · 3h

Love Live is fairly cyclical the more I go through it so the idea of linking people's dreams together isn't particularly unique in this franchise, but "Link! Like! Love Live!" having such a strong emphasis on linking together people's feelings so that everyone can bloom is very strong

SilverRay85 @silverray85.bsky.social · 3h

Again, both terms are fairly nebulous but you can attach all sorts of meaning to them. It represents people being the best versions of themselves, to be proud of who they are, of what they can accomplish, to be capable of pursuing and reaching your dreams

SilverRay85 @silverray85.bsky.social · 3h

but Kaho's dream is about making people "bloom"(the exact meaning is left vague) as well as blooming smiles on people's faces (making them happy). Chika wants to "shine" but she eventually wants to make others "shine", too.
