| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Wow, those girls looks cute during their childhoods :3 I think the song that Chieri was singing this episode is also cute, although seemed to be a bit sad. So much pressure on her with all the stuff going on around recently.. I still think she has a great voice though. I really feel sorry for her Father though at the end there. Damn. |
 |
| A possible musical demise for Chieri's father, didn't expect that. I'm not even sure he deserved that kind of death, it seemed too painful for all intents and purposes. |
 |
| Oh my gawd...Never expect that ending either. He got sniped! And damn...Cheri's song is beautiful. |
| omg that was a bullet, wasnt it? first i thought that chieri'singing was so strong at point to break all that stuff, only after i realized that he was murdered... he died for real? ._. omg this director is so troll... telling us that chieri' father is not as bad as he seems and after killing him ._. |
| sigh.. |
Kaylacat said: ... but I think he deserved a chance to redeem himself. Just my two cents. He was the man who spoke with people through video... maybe he did some video to chieri before die. Erhm... Thinking about it... Its kinda impossible nagisa's father being the murderer, isnt it? ._. |
| sigh.. |
| Well, it was all cute to see some flashback of childhoods and the song Chieri sing is really nice. What I didn't expect that her father would die this soon. Pff, even thought what he has done, he don't deserve to die. Well, this show sure turn kind of dark now. It was kind of painful to watch |

| WTH. this episode was really slow, however it was nice to see the cute little versions of the girls. specially chieri. she was so cute! And wow, i really didn't see that coming. Her dad getting shot?! why in the world, why?? what the hell is going on now?? well 2 eps and i don't know what to expect anymore. |
 |
| Insert song Hoshi no Mukougawa Wow that ending tho :O LMAO @ the alpaca/Mayuyu references.   Mayuyu's room is practically fill with alpaca plushies.  |

| Omg I think this was like the first time I've actually seen a blood and gory death in this entire anime. Seemed so random and way out there, totally didn't see it coming at all. |
| Go ***k yourself. Polite as usual, lightXTC |

| I have no idea who the villain of this series is anymore. |
| I'm so confused to what is going to happen now, but with 2 eps left I imagine that they will that the AKB planet back and then a new Acchan will be chosen. Afterwards we will likely be left with a cliffhanger till another season or a movie later this year or next year. Which I like to see happen rather than nothing happening at all and everything ending with just the planet taken back and a Acchan. |
| Does everyone forgot that this is Next Stage? There probably will be another season call Final Stage or something like that. Well we did saw Nagisa & Cherry returning back to Ship. I don't know how the story plot will be, Chieri mother died and the brother now they want to kill the whole family. I can't wait to see the next preview, kind of sucks they only release the preview every friday and actually release it the next day. Yeah I haven't seen any gory, the previous season was more lighter than this all of sudden it become dark. |

| Well, that's the end of the mystery of Chieri's father: Wants to use the power of Kirara to jump through time and space. Right after the mystery is explain, gone, not needed anymore(?) :/ No doubt that Chieri has the potential of Center Nova now. Not so sure about Nagisa, although she seem pretty determine in the last 2 episodes. As for the last 2 episode, I think it will be (my predictions): 1) Space fold to Akibastar. 2) Either Chieri or Nagisa will have the power to activate mineral. 3) Take back Akibastar. 4) Create another space fold with the power of Center Nova to find the other Center Novas. Two questions remain: 1) Who killed Cheiri's father? 2) Who is Sensei Sensei? About Last Stage (3rd season), I think that if they solve all the mystery, there won't be another season. Like in the first season, it was pretty obvious that the disappearance of Center Nova was unsolved. But if there is no loss end in 2nd season, I don't think they have a 3rd season planned. |

| Well that was unexpected... O_O |
 |
| Is anyone else kinda worried about that it's on episode 11 and so much is happening? I'm not sure if everything is going to be answered like the Center Nova's and who will become the newest one because so much is happening. On the other hand that ending was just crazy. |
| I rarely ever post but even I feel compelled to go "...what just happened?" With a twist like that I haven't the slightest as to what comes next. |
| omg i'm so going to hell. literally JUST before the big ending, I said out loud, "Oh my god dude, you seriously need to be shot!!!" and then BANG! I was so surprised and shocked that i burst out laughing, thinking "holy crap, what the hell?! did that really just happen?!" |
| Okay, just when I thought I figured things out, he got shot. I thought he might try to use the center nova's radiance to somehow get his family back (in an insane Precia Testarossa-esque plan) Now we are at an impasse - we need another "big bad". Having a clear cut antagonist is essential. The baddy needs to have a face, else you don't know where the fist goes =/ |
| I want Rambo in a mecha-suit with a laser-chainsaw gun that fires nuclear warheads, fighting the love-child of Predator, Alien, a group of Bangladeshi terrorists, and Satan. (Actually that would be a pretty sick show) - StopDropAndBowl |
| I laughed out loud when Chieri's father ended his conversation with Nagisa's father with the word "Korekara Wonderland" (Wonderland from now on) because it is precisely the name of one AKB song. I remember last time he also used "Aitakkatta" (I want to see you) when he beamed a message to Chieri, right? This guy really knows AKB's songs inside out LOL The short PV of the actual song of Korekara Wonderland |
| So MAL finally starts locking news threads that are only a few weeks old? I wonder where was the announcement of this change? Or we are seeing yet another case of changes made that impacted users but not communicated to them? I wonder how long people would put up with this. As much as I have a bunch of information to share about anime announced recently I cannot share it in news board, and the anime series is too disorganized and chaotic to share information except with people already interested in the particular series. |

For them to finish up in 2 episodes, a lot needs to happen, and since the last two episodes are going sooo slow, they might be pacing for a season finale to get ready for a 3rd. (just stating a possibility) They do still have to deal with the entertainment ban. That's one thing that can be addressed in a S3. As for the episode itself. Right at the end, I'm thinking, "wow, two episodes straight of almost nothing happening" then bam, he gets shot. I'm just, "okay then, something happened finally..." After that event happening, I'm hoping for a S3 but expecting it to end with just S2. |

akbfan said: Insert song Hoshi no Mukougawa Again the choice of the song is perfect as the lyrics is about a person who got separated from another person, grew up a lot, and came back to meet the other person again and confirmed her feeling towards that person has not changed after all. |

| What the hell... A sniper. A feakin' Sniper in AKB0048 ? I don't know what to believe anymore. I didn't expect such a sadistic scene here. |
 |
| I literally screamed WHAT THE FUCK at the end. Seriously, I never expected that and just when there appeared some hope for Chieri and her dad to reconcile... Great episode, I can't believe it's ending in two weeks, I want much more. |
| I know who took the shot. It was.... Seriously didn't expect shit like that to go down. |
 |
| Lol. I didn't expected what happened in the ending. 2 more episodes left and they're still focusing on Chieri.. i think the director of this show is very biased! Focus on Nagisa more you bitches! 2 more episodes left.. >< But, just like I said before, maybe Chieri is going to be the Center Nova because of the ending in Episode 3.. Here:  Nagisa is holding Chieri's Kirara.. |

| Awww. i really wanted Cheri to meet with her father and get reunited again - sad ending :( |
 |
| ow fuck.. didn't see that coming.. now i love this troll director... so much surprise in this ep... and this is an episode dedicated to my oshi,mayuyu .. really love her singing voice.. so. what will happen to last 2 episode... i think with current pace, the last 2 episode will only going to take back akibastar and birth of 2 center novae (nagisa and chieri) lol, i really hope this. then many problem will unsolved, like center novae that disappear, entertainment ban.. so i hope for season 3.. if they choose to not make final stage and go to rushed ending. i will rage... on another note, if season 3 is really planned, what will happen to sonata, linda and orine? (their seiyuu is graduated...) |

| Great episode, cant wait for the next one. |
 |
| Now this is what I call ambitious! |
| Chieri's song is so beautiful. I could listen this while asleep and have happy and beautiful dreams. lol Nagisa stayed on the sidelines again... >_< |

| This was sick, amazing episode. I didn't expect her father to just die like that, I really want to know who shot him. First Nagisa's father talked about him walking a path himself so I really thought they Chieri and her father could make up or something. I can't wait for more. |
I almost never read discussions after I made my post, if you want to reply PM me or post on my profile page. |
| Wow, that ending came out of nowhere, I hope the father's death isn't a simple plot device and we will learn who the hell shot him. |
| I'm indifferent to the end. Sucks for Chieri, but her dad had it coming to him. Curious as to who shot him though. |
