Unofficial pre-order tallies and viewer polls look dismal, but with last weekend's episode, this show may get a turn-around... assuming that viewers don't let the IRL public-relations disasters affect them.
Oh, yes, she's coming soon to LA. http://www.anime-expo.org/2013/02/we...r-for-ax-2013/ Should have No Name appearing in there, too.

輝きを継ぐ者 That (or those) who succeed the radiance.
I will leave to someone else to translate the pv word by word, as this one is difficult to me, but to give an idea: It says fans expect senbatsu members to become successors. Yuuko who had a premonition of Acchan 14th on Nagisa and Chieri is trying to be certain about the two radiance. And in the end it says there is a commotion with the succession kirara as they reflect the figure of new successors. Finally we may get some succession!

On Galaxy Cinderella, second Galaxy selection is over, although the result isn't up yet (seems like they run into a bug so it may take a day or two before results are out).
So far on Bandai page there is 5 of these "themes": The first, second and fourth ones are not associated with any particular event. Kimono was the theme for first selection, and swimsuit was for the second. Third selection theme will be valentine. Here is some examples (only ones I could get the pic for). There should be 21 of those, one for each noname, 8 main successors + Tsubasa + Miichan + Sasshi + Acchan. It seems to work the same way as real AKB, you buy singles with the ballots, where each would correspond to one vote. If you buy many, you can vote many times for same member or different ones.

On character design: I'm more used to 0048's take through Ebata, as she tried to make the characters unique and identifiable as possible, although they seem to look younger and smaller.
I don't want my anime characters to look like Barbie dolls.

Two interesting pictures appeared around, which seems to be from the character and scenario design book:
One interesting thing is that one character name would be wrong compared to a previous picture (which may have been a guess?). Who we thought was Masuda Yuka is Miyazaki Miho (Myao). Also it gives each girl number... and for some reason current Yui-han is the 7.5th... whatever that means. For those who know the idols well, is there some kind of thing regarding Yui, like someone calling her half an idol or the kind? Or even a song, like how tomochin family was based on the clone pv or the like.
