That gutpunch of a flashback to first episode events at the end...

the performance looked great. it looked a bit more,.. 2dish (or at least more fluid) than the love live performances i'm more used to (but with all the spinning and zooming in and out and diff perspective angles there's gotta be use of 3d modeling in there). i guess maybe it's in the shading? also all the liveliness in the animation of the various bits and frills of clothing and hair and bounciness of the movements in general which probably couldn't be done in a show with more idol performances than this show has. anyways, i particularly liked all the neon streaks and sparkles.
