I'll keep this brief. After the second season of Love Live! Superstar!!, which I wrote a scathing review for upon completion, I sincerely thought it would take a miracle to salvage what story Liella! had left to tell. Not only am I glad to say season 3 was an improvement on its predecessor, it managed to fix every issue I had with season 2. From giving more screentime and development to the first and second years, to resolving the Keke family drama that was hinted at from the first season, to letting Kanon take a backseat to the plot compared to how heavily involvedshe was in nearly every episode of season 2, to giving us the most PERFECT ending to a Love Live! group period with the original 5 members performing their first ever song, Hajimari Kimi no Sora! Season 3 is a miracle, a miracle I never thought was possible. I'm grateful to the writing talents of Jukki Hanada and all the staff at Sunrise for being able to pull it off.

If any of you are coming into season 3 after being left with a bad taste in your mouth from season 2, please trust me, every issue you might've had with it was completely remedied. And if you already enjoyed season 2, you'll definitely enjoy this final season even more.

It's truly an end of a Liera. I'm so happy Kanon, Keke, Chisato, Sumire, and Ren got the ending they deserve, and left their juniors, Kinako, Shiki, Mei, Natsumi, Margarete, and Tomari with a legacy worth preserving. 10 out of 10.
