| Actually, in Nagisa's defense, IF (and only if) she does become Center Nova, she will outshine Chieri From what I managed to piece together from watching through this entire series as many times as I did (heck, even marathoned the ENTIRE thing from the start of season 1 to the end of season 2), Chieri and Nagisa can be considered equals in a sense. I like to think of it this way: Acchan's light = the best in the entire series This is described and emphasized numerous times throughout the episodes. Acchan's light is the brightest, and logically so as she has the shine of both a successor AND a Center Nova combined. I think ultimately, neither Nagisa or Chieri could manage shining as bright individually. It makes sense when you think of it this way because: Nagisa = Successor, but NOT Center Nova Chieri = Center Nova, but NOT Successor And, as previously stated, Acchan the 13th has the glow of both combined. And whenever Acchan's light is discovered or mentioned in this series beforehand, it was always when Nagisa and Chieri were together. It would make sense then, that: Acchan's light = Successor + Center Nova, then Nagisa's light [successor] + Chieri's light [Center Nova] = Acchan's light = Best in the entire series And so, what would happen if Nagisa were to become Center Nova? Nagisa's light = Successor + Center Nova = Acchan's light In this situation, Nagisa would have Acchan's light entirely to herself. There is absolutely no way she would not outshine everyone else bar Acchan the 13th herself. I understand that Chieri achieving Center Nova status without succession is a remarkable feat in the history of 0048 as a whole, but that doesn't mean she stands above and beyond everyone else just for that alone. Also, let's not knock off the weight of succeeding Acchan, as it was officially described to be something quite special in the anime (especially when rumors were spreading that Chieri was a potential candidate for succeeding Acchan). So saying that Nagisa is "just another successor" is really writing off some great potential. *cough* 1idd0kun *cough* *cough* Also, I don't quite know what you're talking about Rayla, but Nagisa had the greatest character development in the entire series. She literally went from being a pushover with a lack of confidence to becoming the 14th Acchan. She developed her own personal resolve as opposed to how she used to just aspire to becoming like Yuuko. Her development is one of the main reasons why she's my favorite character (you know, in case you guys weren't able to guess). |

| -After all, who is sensei-sensei...? -Who did that with Nagisa's father..? The DES..? I thought that DES and Zodiac worked together. -I didn't get what is that other World (or dimension) where Acchan and some of the others Center Novas are. What they do there? Protect the AKB00048? Protect the entertainment? Ok, but... how is their lives in this another World (dimension)..?! They only showed some space, some stairs, some pics of some of the Center Novas and Acchan talking and hugging Yuuko... I wanted to know more about it... =/ |

| Great ending episode I must say, it was intense, lovely, cute and just damn impressive! It's still somewhat left open and with 2 years already past it's a bit sad to see there isn't a third season for this great series! Either way it was a great ride watching both season and I really must say that I enjoyed it! |
 |
| I...want...more, damn why no season 3 |
 |
| Amazing finale. Didn't come in to this show expecting such an epic anime. 10/10 hope there's a akb0048 'final stage' movie someday. |

hack5 said: this was bull how the hell did chieri became center while nagi didnt.thats unfair.i really hate chieri more than before always breaking the rules to accommodate her.somehow she feels like a fake i cant really explain it, but her character sucks and she just get things handed to her somehow i just dont like her at all.for the whole show she had the spot light and when nagi was to get a little airtime for herself she had to but in and became center i mean come on cant nagi get five mins for crying out loud .this sucks ass agreed and whats the point of succeeding aachan is if shes not the center.. i hate authors who shaft the main and focus on someone else as if they were.. |
| I see Yuuko has come back, Acchan's advice really got through to her, and it was great seeing her on this last performance. Congratulations to Nagisa for making successor as the new Acchan, she kinda deserved it after managing to pull on such a good performance and manage to calm down the crowd. Her radiance popped out on this last episode, and I'm truly happy for her since she's been taking the role of a back character for a long time. But this season was Chieri's, who managed to take center nova without succession and without disappearing, her radiance must've been so strong that she managed to keep her identity and star power. She went beyond radiance, and now others after her will be called Chieri the second and so on. Great performance and I loved how they fought off DES with their song. This season focused on Chieri, and was all about her development character. Don't get me wrong I like her, but I felt the story introduced us to Nagisa and should've lived according to that to the end. In some instances I couldn't give a damn about Chieri or her radiance on the show, but oh well it is what is! I was mostly rooting for Nagisa all along and wanted her to shine more, too bad she didn't get the power up I wanted. She made a great case of an inspirational character, and the writers failed to bring that out. Chieri came from a rich family and kinda didn't have challenges that should've made her take the spotlight of the show. Yeah her father was a jerk-off, and was the one who gave them troubles, but still I didn't like her idea of taking center stage for the show. 7/10. |

| i just finished this series .. i still wondering who is sensei-sensei ? still confusing , i hope this will get 3rd season but it just a dream maybe.. |
| Wow that was something xD so Nagisa = Acchan and Chieri = center nova, well it makes sense. Good final and good season overall, as good as the previous one. |
 |
| And so it ends. This season was a marginal improvement over the last season but it still not a very good show. 4/10. |

| This season is giving chieri to much favor from became popular because of her father plot and now became center nova, how much the director love chieri is questionable |
