Callbacks to previous Love Live! series

 * Kanon almost slapped Sumire if it wasn't for Keke pleading her to stop.
 * As mentioned in the "continuity errors" section, the way Wien disappears after Kanon blinked her eye from her reaction is similar to the Female Singer disappearing from the rest of Muse's POV from The School Idol Movie.

Continuity Notes

 * Sumire still keeps the crown from the "Nonfiction!!" segment since the tenth episode of the first season.

Errors & Goofs

 * Natsumi's post showed six fingers on her left hand.

Continuity Errors

 * Despite Aria acknowledging her presence (as her empty teacup was shown before she took the seat), Wien's presence in the cafe has not been acknowledged by anyone else aside from Kanon. As she magically vanishes in a flash after Kanon blinks her eye while being surprised, it was unknown whether she hallucinated or if Wien is actually a human with implied magical powers a la Honoka Kosaka in Love Live! Once Again.
