| Nagisa is suddenly going to perform something special. I wonder what reason it's given to her? Also kind of feel some pity for Takamina the 5th after this episode. It's clear her leg has a problem while she's going up the stairs. Add that to the fact that she has the difficult decision to hand over her position to Kanata or not. |
HikaruIzumi said: Magito said: Though, Kanata is harsh on the training making her look boastful or somesort which I don't like. I don't think she was boastful. There is a lot of pressure on her. She belongs to the "cursed generation" so she's been understudy for a VERY long time and this is her chance to shine. Also, TakaMina and the rest will be protecting them and I doubt she wants her idol to risk her life if they mess up, especially given her condition. So it's no wonder she wants it to be as good as possible. Of course she's overdoing it but everyone makes mistakes. Sorry, that was the wrong word to use. With that attitude of hers, there will be problems. As Yuuka said, she's always thinking about Takamina so much that might lose sight of important things. Overdoing things is not good and could cause serious problems. On the other hand, Megane Chieri so moe! |
| However, when I see the story at this point, and just 2 more episodes to watch, I can't believe that the end is so close. I don't know if a second season is in preparation, cause I've heard that the anime isn't really liked in Japan... |
| So Orine is alright...wew. Looking forward to the next episode. |

Majority of Japanese anime otakus HATE AKB to begin with so they don't want anything to do with the show. But their DVD sales is 3rd out of all the anime this season..just 500 lower than the season favorite Hyoka so it seem to be doing well to me. The sales guarantee 2nd season if they're depending on sales. And the show helped gained more AKB fans among western countries so I think that was the main intention as well give the members who want to be seiyuus experiences But making fans in western countries is rather irrelevant here - as until they will sell this series here they don't get money. I'm importing it, which is always pain... but well why not. Plus geting legal music is not always easy - on iTunes there is one album BTW if you know some other sources that don't involve importing tell me, I will be very gratefull. Still concert on girls home planet seems like kind of closure - so I won't mind. They don't have to answer ALL the questions - they may use them for second season or leave to their imagination (I still go with "time and space travel") Ehh otaku - but they never fail to amuse me :3 I even don't wander into why they do so... |
penguinsama said: What I mean is the whole "teenage puppy love - I love you but you don't love me but OMG angst angst angst" in Eastern and Western media in general. It's been done. Just make out already or stfu. First of all, Yuuka never did anything like "angst angst angst" quite the contrary. She never got angry at Mamoru for liking Suzuko for real (more like for fun) and even gave him "I like you a lot" looks. And he NEVER said anything about not liking her back. He simply likes Suzuko as an idol. That might also be because he wanted to tease her. Notice how his gal friend, said that he told her a lot about Yuuka. Seriously, I've never had a friend I'd feel a need to talk about for no reason (I really can't imagine a situation, where telling her much about her would be necessary). It wasn't that she became her fan and then asked him about it either, from the way she said it, it sounded as if she became her fan BECAUSE he told her much about her. Another thing, he told her enough to make her Yuuka's fan which means he was praising her a lot. You clearly don't pay enough attention to their relationship to say something like that. Even when he didn't want her to audition it looked as if he was more worried about her than anything else. Considering that he risked their friendship to do what he could to ensure her safety, it doesn't really tell me that he friendzoned her. Long story short, he never said/did anything that would prove he doesn't like her back AND Yuuka never had an "angst" moment because she thought he didn't like her. She only had an angst moment when he wrote her that mail and when they were arguing at the beginning and even then she was looking forward to seeing him so no angst longer than 5 minutes. Well, sorry, but saying that is overused is the same as saying that emotions are overused or that villains are overused. btw NEVER watch Black Rock Shooter anime if you consider this too much angst. |

penguinsama said: This right here is why I avoid the anime community as a whole. You've wall of text for some comment I made several posts ago with a tone as if I've done something to personally offend you. I think roundabout romance is annoying. Get over it. lol wut I was just trying to clear up some stuff which you clearly missed. XD Yeah, it is a wall of text because there's a lot of stuff to mention. If you mind the fact I tried to mention everything, read only the last paragraph (this is the reason I wrote it). Saying it's a "roundabout" romance just proves that you didn't read anyhting from my post. You shouldn't write something that says you're not paying enough attention and when someone tries to clear it up, you feel offended, that just doesn't make sense. |

| I liked the action in this episode. |
| I'm glad Yuuka's friend doesn't hate AKB0048 anymore. I was speculating that he would join DES or something after she left to become an idol. And oh no about Nagisa's dad. Also, I wonder what happened to her mom? Was she arrested too or what? |
penguinsama said: You've wall of text for some comment I made several posts ago with a tone as if I've done something to personally offend you. I think roundabout romance is annoying. Get over it. "stfu" and "get over it" are obviously provocative comments. The wall of text is well justified. However, I feel it's wasted on a troll. Oh well, I still can't get over the whole anti-entertainment business. My suspension of disbelief is a a low point so far. |
bla bla bla The endless debate between fans and haters. At one point, after spending a lot of time on MAL, you just realize it's totally pointless.Niko-kun said: On MAL, everyone who has used the lame rating system becomes a critic and an intellectual by default, haven't you heard? |
| Oh this is going to be good with Lancastar being the final arc with the understudies performing in it. Looks like drama is once again in an all time high with the 00 and I can see why Yuuko is so pissed. With the understudies getting a song just for them and Nagisa singing that center novae promotion song when she's been dying to become center. Ehh I don't know if Tsubasa is being ordered to do this or she's planning something but the last few episode has been making me dislike her more and more. Lol at the whole situation with Yuuka and that guy. Talk about an awkward situation... coming back and finding out the guy you like is a fan of some other girl haha. And oooohhhhhhhh shit Orine, damn what a twist of fate with one of the last product that Orine made being used by DES. |
 |
| Well i don't know what to make of this episode, poor start and middle but very good ending when we see some action from the fan group and 00 aswell as getting a clearer background of how much their home planet really changed since they ran away |

| (rewatching in 1080p) Poor Orine, finding out she was building weapons :( Great buildup episode for the finale. And boy, that planet looks so depressing. They really need that concert. Edit 2014-05-12: 3rd time watching Wonder where the rest of Megu's generation is... |

| Yay Nagisa! I hope she does well with her solo! |
 |
| Things sure are getting quite intense! Let's see what happens next. |
 |
| They're back to their original planet but damn the situation is really bad, I especially feel bad for Nagisa's father who got arrested because of her :/ |
