What a fun little world. Looks like one of those worlds in a fantasy.

Lol @ the mushroom outfits. Cute. Mm, some of the creatures looks cute I guess. Geez, some of the creatures aren't friendly though imo like those huge black furballs. Nice song at the end. I enjoyed this episode.

It's actually turn out to be good, well it's all thanks to zodiac the creatures in that planet become like that, they are usually friendly.

All thanks to AKB songs that make them friendly and become friends with them.

Well, now Chieri try to convinced her father to stop doing this but I doubt really he will stop doing this whatever Nagisa follow Chieri.

Since Nagisa declared she would become Center Nova, I was hoping she would get more screen time since she pretty much has been ignored for the whole season. But of course, another episode where she is still unimportant.

I liked the episode even though it felt like a complete filler. Song is good and the mushroom scene was funny.

I knew exactly what song is going to be used this week since I saw AkiGori in the preview and the weird furball monsters were actually some kind of evolved gorillas.

I dont know why but every time I listened to the song, I just can't stop laughing.

Maybe because of

Aww those funghi were cute. Both young and adult ones.

and omg, i don't know what to expect from what will happen to Nagisa and Chieri.
it is most unlikely that he will listen to her. I've got a bad feeling. I just hope it's not too bad.

So Tsubasa-san felt a sensei-sensei when the dualum and the kirara energy merged.

Well ... I like how unpredictable this anime is. But then, at the same time it has me all anxious.

I agree with Ceris. It felt like a lot of nothing to get the two girls on the Zodiac ship. I was really excited after the attack on Akibastar. I thought stuff was really going to get deep into Zodiac and his plans, center nova, and how the girls being singers/idols connect to their power. I know they've been explained (somewhat, but I wanted some more action. I either need understudy drama, or some plot relevant action. And while that weird Funghi thing was cute, unless they're coming with them to the final battle, they took of 20 minutes of important episode time. It's not like there are a lot of episodes left in this season.

It has an 8 rating because the show is unique and pretty darn good. Why not say why you think the series doesn't deserve it's rating rather than bashing it without reason?

That being said, initially I thought this episode was going to be filler to just repair the ship, turns out I was wrong. Using a mining material as a weapon is going to be interesting. Can't wait for the dualium idol inspired explosions that will occur in the episodes to come!

Do you remember the 2nd or 3rd episode when one of the main characters was crushed under a chandelier? Please explain to me how she managed get up and walk away as if nothing had even happened. That's why this series is awful. Poor writing. This series is filled with happenings that don't make a lick of sense and take the piss out of the term 'suspension of disbelief'. There's only so much nonsensical bullshit I can take before I realise when a show is badly written.

I'm surprised this episode got so many good ratings. This is one of my favorite series of the season and yet I found this episode beyond disappointing. Probably the worst episode of EITHER season in AKB.

Felt like absolute filler and this was probably the worst song they've done in the series. Whole concept of the episode was a bit bizarre. Hope they go back to their normal quality next week.

With three episodes left, how will Kawamori finish this? Will the understudies
become successors? Will they save the center Novae? Will they get Yuuko back?
Will Nagisa become Acchan? And Will there be some ultimate plot twist at the end where Sensei-sensei is actually Papa Cook?

Orine's Seiyuu, Nakaya Sayaka just graduated a few days ago to pursue a seiyuu path. The ep is probably dedicated to her hence the huge Orine focus.

Anyway I like how they set up a slower pace ep. If AKB just start attack DES now, it would feel to rushed. After the attack on their planet, they need time to recoup, come up with a plan blah blah all that stuffs.

Many people who watch this show aren't even AKB fan to begin with. They either dislike them or is neutral.

Yeah the chandelier part was SOOOO UNBELIEVABLE D:
And an alien with monkey tail brought back to life with the power of 7 dragon balls aren't?
Anime are chock full of protagonists recovering due to plot armor.

Avatar ripped off Pocahontas/Christopher Columbus. What's your point? The concept of this ep is so~ original apparently...

No one is making you watch it if you don't like it.

I'd like to think it was a dedicated episode but don't they write the script for the episodes weeks in advance? Either way, the Orine focus works out perfect, just like Minami's line at the end of the last episode.

As for feeling rushed, with only 3 episodes remaining, if they don't pick up the pace, the ending will feel rushed, unless they release a season 3. Which would work, since they can name it "Final Stage"

I still want more Takamina screentime, her story is my favorite so far in the anime.

Lol @ poor writing. If this series was poorly written, I wouldn't be half as interested in the story as I would be now. The mistake you pointed out wasn't a result of bad writing, but a lack of attention to detail. It's a shame that this isn't your type of anime, hope you find one more appealing in the future.

Agree with you Kenshin_sama. Quoting that chandelier thing as an example of bad writing is just laughable. The comment itself is awful and nonsensical bullshit, not the show. That scene has everything to do with attention to detail issue, and in fact I'd interpret that the character was caught in the debris but not herself hurt or injured, which is why she could get up and walk away. Criticizing a show for alleged 'poor writing' by nitpicking is just plain stupid.
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.

Yeah, at first I thought it is a filler episode (though 7th gen Snow Fungus got me quite a bit of laugh), then an Avatar episode, then it becomes an Okaro episode (AKB fans may know what I am talking about - anyway Okaro is the nickname for Sayaka) and then something else, as you said. With the revelation of the power of emotion/singing resonance with dualium (and the hint of link with sensei-sensei and kirara), as well as the new destination headed by Chieri and Nagisa, it really does not make sense to call this episode a filler episode.

I am most impressed by the fact that it uses a song that is entirely owned by Okaro/Sayaka (Uhoho) for the scene for AKB0048 members to fix the misunderstanding with the Mofufu creatures. The lyrics itself is about repairing friendship and empathizing with each other. Very fitting for that scene!

That said, I have to say that in terms of sakuga and animation, this episode is a bit on lazy side. Perhaps they used up lots of resource animating the previous episode.

Well members graduation are given notice weeks in advance before they actually make it public so it's possible.

They should just make a 3rd season
Tho I wonder if that's possible since 3 members are leaving and Karen's blog sound pretty definitive that the show is ending...

There are definitely clues for a third season, I really want that to happen. Or they can go the retard route and finish everything in 3 episodes.
This episode was pretty interesting, but it did lack depth. I wished they took their bloody time with this and made this more interesting.

It was nice to see Sayaka take some screen time, but I really hope that they will not rush the ending. This was somewhat done I think in Aquarion Evol and I didn't like how it was rushed like that, I do hope there's a season 3 or take the movie route they did with Macross Frontier. Either way 3 episodes isn't enough I hope it's not rushed and it doesn't go to manga, finish the series and do it well please.
