Congrats to the whole staff for making me feel that the concert scene was badass.
And while I'm not familiar with AKB48 the song "beginner" makes that scene,without it it wouldn't be as epic,the intro just sets the tone for the whole scene,and that tone is something grittier than what we saw so far: no cute magical girl-esque attacks this week,just guns and grenades all under the rain!
Not to mention the lyrics fit the grl's state of mind,makes me wonder if this episode wasn't written with this song in mind.

Thank you Okada for resisting the pure shock factor and actualy having this be a selection test,it doesn't diminish the impact of the scene because the girls are out there fighting like it's the real deal and it just wouldn't make much sense for this not to be a test.
ThoughI have to say that is one intense test!

If there's more episodes like this coming up then I think I'll enjoy this show more than I originally thought.

PS:they should just rename this show "Call of Duty: Idol Warfare"
