Anime Relations:
AKB0048, AKB0048: Next Stage
This is the Two-hundred-and-ninety-fifth week of using the "Perfect Anime Girl Sheet". Notice: This Blog may contain Unmarked Spoilers.
Welcome back everyone. As you can see, I've defeated Hanayo last week...
Hanayo: So how long will I have to keep my glasses on for losing?
ALL THE TIME!
Hanayo: Ehhhhh?... Fine.
*Hanayo playfully adjusts her glasses well sighing.*
That's the spirit, and you look beautiful anyway. But to continue what I was saying, it's time for me to face Suzuko!
*The audience gasps*
Linda/Suzuko: You know that every calls me Linda now! It's one of the things I asked for from Patchebel!
That explains why everyone suddenly called you that... But once I defeat you, you'll have to break your ties with Patchebel! Hanayo will as well!
Hanayo: B-but how will we spread the news of idol-research without her?
Same way everyone else does: The internet!
Linda: Hmmm, it seems that you must be knowledgeable about idols as well. *smirks* I think I have a PERFECT idea for your challenge now.
Do your worst! I'm ready for anything, and can start at anytime!
Linda: Well, it's going to take a bit of effort. So while we're getting things ready backstage how about you start your blog. We should be done by the time you finish.
That's a good idea. This way I won't be distracted by other things while blogging. Man, last week I didn't even mention that "Kayochin" is a cutesy way of her first name as the "Hana" could also be written as "Ka". But enough delay, let's begin!
*Linda moves off stage to get things ready.*
Oh, and like Hanayo Suzuko got her nickname because her first kanji Suzu can also be read as Rin. That certainly explains the teacher in Senran Kagura. But I guess that Japanese is a hard language to learn. Unlike English, as I could go threw the dictionary and knot find too words that people easily confuse the spelling of in their. Your crazy if you think that!
*Suddenly Ririchiyo runs to Topaz from off stage.*
Riri: Please don't do that any more, the comments are going to go crazy with people getting angry from your intentionally bad grammar.
That's fair, I guess. I'll just start my blog from here, then.
Head
Hair: Suzuko has short green hair. The back and sides don't reach much past her chin, and her hair is a paler shade as well. It's also poofy or wavy on the sides, starting at the point her bangs end. It's sort of hard to describe, but I suppose that you could call it curly (it's not drill-shaped which I usually think of when I call hair "curly"). Her bangs are nice, being mostly a hime cut though the right side has a hair piece that's pulled out of place. She wears some sort of clip, but it's hard to tell what it is as she hides it behind a curl. She also has two curls in front that she keeps outside her attack headpiece, giving it a visor-like appearance. In her hair there is also a pattern of a heart, though the exact placement changes due to light (most of the girls in the series have a similar effect). While I mean no insult, do note that I could describe Suzuko's hair as being similar to a green leafy vegetable, such as a cabbage or something. Finally, she does occasionally wear a beret with a big cotton ball, and while it's cute she doesn't wear it very much other than her introduction.
Grade: B-
Eyes: Suzuko's eyes are a pale gold or a greenish color, so maybe yellow-green might be the best way to describe the color. It does match her hair, somewhat, but I'm still somewhat "meh" on the color. She does have a heart shape in her eye as well, though that stays in the lower-left corner of her pupil and is hard to notice in the show proper. Her eyes are narrow as well, though they do still have a rounded shape on top.
She also has small glasses with thin frames. They do look sort of like an old lady's pair, but since Suzuko not only keeps them on throughout the series, including the beach episode, AND even performs in them I shouldn't complain too much. Even when fighting she'll wear the visor-like protective eye guard over her glasses. About the only times she doesn't wear glasses are understandable, and that's when she's asleep or in the bath.
Grade: B+
Face: Suzuko's face isn't all that impressive. She really doesn't get many moments to shine, and in general she's a calm girl that doesn't show a lot of expression. There's nothing wrong with her face, it's still cute, but there's not too much to talk about as it doesn't look too different from the other characters in the show. She does have small features, which is always nice.
Grade: B
Body
Build: The only measurement we have is Suzuko's height, which is 157 cm. As far as her body goes it's fairly nice but isn't anything stellar (space pun not intended). To be fair she is barely a teenager, but she's still has something of a curve. Her waist in particular looks nice, though sadly unlike Makoto she doesn't have a pudgy stomach. I also don't know what her butt is like either. Her limbs are alright, not being too skinny, but as a whole Suzuko isn't too impressive.
Grade: B
Breasts: Unlike the rest of her body, Suzuko is actually somewhat busty. Not outlandishly busty, but she's got a good amount of chest. That said, it's unknown if she uses the bust-boosting treatment herself like she did with Makoto. I doubt it, as she says that it's unnecessarily in Makoto's case so she probably knows that flat chests can appeal to fans. Not only that, but we do catch a glimpse of her chest in the bath, and she's fine.
Grade: B
Clothes: Suzuko usually wears casual outfits, though like many idols there's more variety than I can describe. They do look nice though, even if they are slightly figure-hiding. She does have cute pajamas, being green and somewhat oversized though the main appeal is in the cute night cap she wears on her head. Her idol outfits are also cute, though I prefer the blue outfits over the pink ones (in general they look like uniforms with short skirts, but the idol outfits each have a lot of small design differences between the girls). In the beach episode she wears a yellow bikini, but in official art she also has a blue one (which I like more). Suzuko also practices in both a tight leotard (though sadly without pantyhose) and a track suit. She does put on pants and a heavy coat when exploring the frozen Tundrastar, which is totally not a Kirby planet. There's also her combat outfit and that looks like a normal military outfit.
Most of Suzuko's variety is in official art, though. In the various cards she wears outfits including a maid, a catgirl waitress, a Chinese dress, a race queen, various yukatas, an even a pretty heavy-looking kimono. In all, I do like Suzuko's wardrobe but it would be nice if she would have shown her butt a few times (even her training leotard has a pareo, and that's horrible).
Grade: A-
Mind
Personality: Suzuko's main attributes are her quiet personality and knowledge of idols. Of course, even if she's not talkative she does enjoy sharing her knowledge of AKB0048 and gives useful exposition to the other characters. She's calm and reserved as well, though gets excited when people come to her for help. This is her downfall though; she doesn't want to take center stage and would rather be supportive of other idols over working harder herself. This means that she often gets pushed into the background at times. That said, I do like the fact that she's so supportive and has a clear goal. She wants to be like Tsubasa, who is the one who manages AKB. If you're not familiar with that, think of a meganekko like Ritsuko and you would have a similar goal in mind. The reason that Suzuko became an idol is to see them in action so she can properly manage them and also pay homage to other great managers (as both Tsubasa and Ritsuko are former idols). I would still have liked to see an episode for her, but I guess I can't wish for meganekko episodes from idol shows (unless it's idolmaster).
As some off-beat things, Suzuko can be hard-headed at times. She even headbutted another character for picking on her friends! She has a silly side as well, such as when she hallucinated off of mushroom spores and called herself the idol queen of mushrooms. She also eats chips with chopsticks, to keep her hands from getting greasy. I'm not sure how well that works if you're unskilled at it, though. She also occasionally takes pictures using her phone. As far as background goes, Suzuko didn't have much confidence until she started to watch AKB0048 on tv with her grandmother. From that point on, Suzuko vowed to become a manager like Tsubasa. She eventually became one of the 77th generation of understudies with the other characters from Eurostar. As far as Suzuko's voice goes, Sawako Hata is a fine VA. She just doesn't have a lot of roles to compare to, but her portrayal was pretty nice and serious. Nothing against Caitlynn French, the English voice, but that dub in general is terrible and everyone sounds robotic and stilted.
Overall I do like Suzuko. I just wish that she'd have more good moments.
Grade: B
Hey Riri, do you think that the televisions in Eurostar are called Eurov-
*Riri puts her hand over Topaz's mouth.*
Riri: I can already tell where that joke is going, and let's not reference another competition.
Libido: She doesn't show all that much libido. Sure, she does love her fans, but that's different. From my opinion, Suzuko seems to be the type to like her job too much to have a romance jeopardize it. I guess that there's Mamoru who became her fan when Yuka left him, though I don't think she'd act on anything. As far as inter-idol relations, Suzuko is close to both Makoto (as she helped Makoto's complex with her body) and Sonata (who she calls "Sonati" and both have nicknames for each other).
Grade: C
Age: Suzuko is 14, and her birthday is August 6th. Not much to talk about here.
Grade: C+
Total Grades: 69
Average score: 7.7
Final Grade: B
And with that, the main part of the blog is complete. Now, where's Suzuko and her silly challenge?
*Linda walks in from off stage and approaches Topaz and Riri.*
Linda: Right here! And now, to show you what my challenge is.
*She hits a button. As before, the scene changes into a game show-like stage. There are three podiums, each with a large button and buzzer. There's also a host's seat and a podium with a large microphone on it, presumably to ask questions.*
Linda: I'm going to test your idol knowledge! Here's how the game is going to work. *A large monitor descends from the ceiling, showing a crude version of the stage.* Each of us is going to take one of the seats here *The three podiums soon get stick figures drawn into them.* While a judge asks us questions. As we get questions right, the more points we get. If I get to one hundred before you, I'll be declared the winner. If you get to one hundred first, I'll accept defeat.
Sounds easy enough. But if you know all the questions it'll be cheap!
???: No problem, Topaz. I'LL be asking the questions here...
*Aoi Kiriya steps out and sits in the host's seat.*
Aoi: Don't worry, I'll be as unbiased as the previous week's judges.
Linda: Didn't they all vote for Topaz?
That was because mine was better, silly!
*Linda sighs.* Well, I guess Kayochin DID make some big mistakes. However, I won't let you go that easily!
*Linda and Topaz take their positions behind the podiums.*
Riri: Ehhh? Me too? I guess they do need a third... (Maybe if I win Topaz will be proud of me! Wait, stop thinking such naughty things, brain!).
*Riri shakes her head before taking the remaining podium on the side.*
Aoi: Well then, now that everyone is in place it's time to begin the first annual Idol Knowledge test!
*crowd cheers as game show music plays.*
Aoi: Now, the first question is...
*BZZZ! Linda buzzes in.*
Linda: Mimori Kishida!
*The lights at Linda's podium flash green as congratulatory sounds play.*
Aoi: That's right, the question was "Who was the idol who became "Mariko Shinoda the 8th"?" You earn a point.
*Linda chuckles. Her podium's screen now shows a 1 to Topaz's and Riri's both having a 0.*
Linda: (I knew that memorizing the order of the questions would come in handy)
Aoi: Alright then, time for the next question... *Flips the notecard to the back of the stack.* Here we go..
*BZZZ! Linda buzzes in.*
Linda: July 22!
*The lights at Linda's podium flash red as a failure sound plays.*
Aoi: Oh, I'm sorry. But the question was "Which idol with 92 cm hips recently got in trouble for causing a "gas leak" at a local ramen restaurant?"
*BZZZ! Topaz buzzes in.*
TAKANE SHIJOU!
*The lights at Topaz's podium flash green as congratulatory sounds play. He then gets 1 point and ties with Linda. In the audience Takane smirks and claps in an ojou manner.*
Linda: W-what? That should be the THIRD question! How did this happen?
Aoi: Eh? Third question?
*Aoi inspects the cards and finds the problem.*
Aoi: Oh, I see. The humidity made the first two cards stick together! I'll just pull them apart real quick and...whoops!
*By trying to get the cards unstuck Aoi knocks over the large pile. Questions fly everywhere, landing in a small pile which she scoops up. Linda is horrified.*
Linda: (All that time memorizing the answers, wasted! But no matter, there's no way that Topaz could know much about...)
*While Linda is distracted, Topaz hits his buzzer again.*
Kyouko Kirisaki is half-Earthling half-Flame Seijin!
Aoi: That's correct!
*Topaz's point total becomes 2.*
Linda: Grrr, you won't surpass me in idol knowledge!
*Linda's eyes glow with flame as she now has something to prove.*
*Time passes, with Topaz and Linda each answering questions.*
Linda: Miki gains 2 cm in her chest, 1 cm in her hip, and grows 2 cm between games!
The cereal that Yurika advertised is "Berry Good Morning Cereal"!
*The game eventually gets to the point where Linda and Topaz are both at 99 points. However, no more notecards remain...*
Aoi: I'm all out of questions!
Linda: Shoot, I hadn't expected such a close game. I knew I should have prepared a full 200.
Aoi: Luckily I have a good question in mind. And this will be for two points, so whoever gets this right will win! "Who is this pink-haired leader.."
*BZZZ! Linda buzzes in.*
Linda: Kanon Nakagawa!
*The lights at Linda's podium flash red as a failure sound plays.*
Linda: Wait, what?
Aoi: You didn't let me finish. "Who is this pink-haired leader who formally controlled the space colony "Mechadol"?"
*BZZZ! Topaz buzzes in.*
I only know of one space colony-themed pink-haired idol, and that's SHERYL NOME!
*The lights at Topaz's podium flash red as a failure sound plays.*
W-wait! That was wrong?
Aoi: Yes it was. And since you two have both gotten it incorrect we go to our third contestant: Ririchiyo!
*Riri, who was starting to doze off, jumps from her name being called.*
Riri: W-what? I wasn't sleeping!
Aoi: Topaz and Linda have both gotten this question wrong. So it got passed to you.
Riri: But I don't know anything about idols!
Aoi: This is just protocol, but I'll say it again: "Who is this pink-haired leader who formally controlled the space colony "Mechadol"?"
Riri: Uhhh... Lacus Clyne?
*The lights at Riri's podium flash green as congratulatory sounds play. She then gets 2 points.*
How did you know that? We haven't watched that show!
Riri: Don't you remember? We went to one of her concerts where Kirino and Asuna interrupted. It was all in Zettai's blog!
That's a good point, I had forgotten about that!
*Suddenly both Topaz and Ririchiyo's lights flash as victory music plays.*
Riri: What now?!
It seems that we've won!
Linda: Wait, how?
Because we got over 100 points.
Linda: But I just meant YOU as in the singular! I didn't mean that you'd be a team!
Aoi: As the judge, I okay their victory. Besides, you're the one that didn't specify that!
Huzzah!
Riri: Oh? We're done?
Well, there's still the part where Linda has to explain why Kanon came to mind when she was asked about a "Pink-haired leader". It's almost as if..
*Suddenly Kanon makes a grand entrance, swinging dual doors wide open. She then walks up stage and confronts Linda and Hanayo. To every one else's surprise, they get to their knees.*
Kanon: You have both failed me! ESPECIALLY you, Linda. You nearly gave away my secret identity!
Wait, secret identity? Y-you don't mean!
Kanon: That's right, Topaz. I've been waiting for the day that we'd finally meet. I am PATCHEBEL, Magical Idol Girl!
*The crowd gasps as Kanon's secret identity is revealed.*
Of course! Patchelbel's canon! Patchebel is Kanon! It's so obvious that even missing the L I should have caught it!
Kanon: Just you wait until next week, I predict that it'll be an exciting and important blog! And all you fans out there should give it a watch too! Kira~ <3 *Winks*
Welcome back everyone. As you can see, I've defeated Hanayo last week...
Hanayo: So how long will I have to keep my glasses on for losing?
ALL THE TIME!
Hanayo: Ehhhhh?... Fine.
*Hanayo playfully adjusts her glasses well sighing.*
That's the spirit, and you look beautiful anyway. But to continue what I was saying, it's time for me to face Suzuko!
*The audience gasps*
Linda/Suzuko: You know that every calls me Linda now! It's one of the things I asked for from Patchebel!
That explains why everyone suddenly called you that... But once I defeat you, you'll have to break your ties with Patchebel! Hanayo will as well!
Hanayo: B-but how will we spread the news of idol-research without her?
Same way everyone else does: The internet!
Linda: Hmmm, it seems that you must be knowledgeable about idols as well. *smirks* I think I have a PERFECT idea for your challenge now.
Do your worst! I'm ready for anything, and can start at anytime!
Linda: Well, it's going to take a bit of effort. So while we're getting things ready backstage how about you start your blog. We should be done by the time you finish.
That's a good idea. This way I won't be distracted by other things while blogging. Man, last week I didn't even mention that "Kayochin" is a cutesy way of her first name as the "Hana" could also be written as "Ka". But enough delay, let's begin!

Linda: Grrr, you won't surpass me in idol knowledge!
*Linda's eyes glow with flame as she now has something to prove.*
*Time passes, with Topaz and Linda each answering questions.*
Linda: Miki gains 2 cm in her chest, 1 cm in her hip, and grows 2 cm between games!
The cereal that Yurika advertised is "Berry Good Morning Cereal"!
*The game eventually gets to the point where Linda and Topaz are both at 99 points. However, no more notecards remain...*
Aoi: I'm all out of questions!
Linda: Shoot, I hadn't expected such a close game. I knew I should have prepared a full 200.
Aoi: Luckily I have a good question in mind. And this will be for two points, so whoever gets this right will win! "Who is this pink-haired leader.."
*BZZZ! Linda buzzes in.*
Linda: Kanon Nakagawa!
*The lights at Linda's podium flash red as a failure sound plays.*
Linda: Wait, what?
Aoi: You didn't let me finish. "Who is this pink-haired leader who formally controlled the space colony "Mechadol"?"
*BZZZ! Topaz buzzes in.*
I only know of one space colony-themed pink-haired idol, and that's SHERYL NOME!
*The lights at Topaz's podium flash red as a failure sound plays.*
W-wait! That was wrong?
Aoi: Yes it was. And since you two have both gotten it incorrect we go to our third contestant: Ririchiyo!
*Riri, who was starting to doze off, jumps from her name being called.*
Riri: W-what? I wasn't sleeping!
Aoi: Topaz and Linda have both gotten this question wrong. So it got passed to you.
Riri: But I don't know anything about idols!
Aoi: This is just protocol, but I'll say it again: "Who is this pink-haired leader who formally controlled the space colony "Mechadol"?"
Riri: Uhhh... Lacus Clyne?
*The lights at Riri's podium flash green as congratulatory sounds play. She then gets 2 points.*
How did you know that? We haven't watched that show!
Riri: Don't you remember? We went to one of her concerts where Kirino and Asuna interrupted. It was all in Zettai's blog!
That's a good point, I had forgotten about that!
*Suddenly both Topaz and Ririchiyo's lights flash as victory music plays.*
Riri: What now?!
It seems that we've won!
Linda: Wait, how?
Because we got over 100 points.
Linda: But I just meant YOU as in the singular! I didn't mean that you'd be a team!
Aoi: As the judge, I okay their victory. Besides, you're the one that didn't specify that!
Huzzah!
Riri: Oh? We're done?
Well, there's still the part where Linda has to explain why Kanon came to mind when she was asked about a "Pink-haired leader". It's almost as if..
*Suddenly Kanon makes a grand entrance, swinging dual doors wide open. She then walks up stage and confronts Linda and Hanayo. To every one else's surprise, they get to their knees.*
Kanon: You have both failed me! ESPECIALLY you, Linda. You nearly gave away my secret identity!
Wait, secret identity? Y-you don't mean!
Kanon: That's right, Topaz. I've been waiting for the day that we'd finally meet. I am PATCHEBEL, Magical Idol Girl!
*The crowd gasps as Kanon's secret identity is revealed.*
Of course! Patchelbel's canon! Patchebel is Kanon! It's so obvious that even missing the L I should have caught it!
Kanon: Just you wait until next week, I predict that it'll be an exciting and important blog! And all you fans out there should give it a watch too! Kira~ <3 *Winks*
