My AKB-fu is quite weak. I haven't really been paying attention since "Sakura no Shiori" came out Shit. That was two years ago. Quote:

...though business-wise, it does make sense to have Jurina Matsui in - she joined SKE48 when she was still a loli and got pushed as a center simply because she has a longer shelf life than someone like KojiHaru - Akimoto tends to toss the girls out once they hit 25. With Jurina, who's only just 15 this year, that's still another ten years of use out of her... But yeah, I do feel for the older girls. Wonder what's happened to them since then... IIRC Ohori was once supposed to be dropped from Team K but managed to rally and survive, before eventually getting tossed to SDN48 - which I've heard is being shut down as Akimoto wants to form a global 48 franchise and needs cash. <.< One thing about this show though - you do see the amount of work the girls put into their songs. I'd like to think that amount of hard work is something we can all get behind.

Jurina was pushed because she have good work ethic and is serious about what she do. She's a good dancer too and have star power. You can even see the way she act is way too mature and also the girl was hospitalized recently for overworking because she can't stop herself. Even Mariko told her to slow down. She was giving indefinite time rest but she came back after like a few days and even said she hasn't recovered fully yet but want to work more. Mariko is like 26 and she's doing ok too. 4th most followed Twitter in Japan, alot of fashion works, acting roles etc. It's not really the old age. It's just most of the last older girls don't have the impact to stand out and fans just lost interest in them. If you want to get the new AKB news just go to STAGE48. Alot happened since Sakura no Shiori lol

The promo video for the 77th generation was nice.
Orine's first death threat sounded pretty serious. It really shook her up. The handshake debut event was interesting. That attack sure made things more lively. Orine quickly turned her hater into a friendlier version ^^

BTW, I think Chieri at the end said "I knew it, this machine..."
Since her dad is the weapon supplier, it make sense she would recognize the weapons but maybe her dad could be the reason why DES came to take back Chieri? Those KKS promo vids were shown in other planets. Also rewatching the ep again...the part when Orine try to protect the boy make me all emotional but then the wota made me laughed so hard...

EDIT: The handshake with the little girl made me all emotional (I was about to cry like Nagisa and Yuuka lol), but I couldn't get into the scene with the boy. It's like they were trying too hard and it just didn't feel natural.... just my two cents.

Wow, I didn't realize Takamina was so short compared to those other girls.
Sorry, the kid doesn't get a pass from me. Hunt him down and beat his face in. Oh Chieri... We can see that you care, but the way you say these things comes out all wrong. At least you acted quickly and correctly at the event. Hopefully the others can see that your heart is in the right place, although you may have some trouble convincing Yuuka. On the other hand, Yuuka did give her that dress... (Although I'm a bit shocked that actually fit Chieri. Yuuka is flat-chested and short, and Chieri is neither of those things.) So now that it's translated we see an answer to some people's questions as to how DES got to Akibastar. They didn't. The event was on a different planet, although one still supposedly within the absolute entertainment protection sphere. Seriously though, what sort of psychos attack a public event and shoot live ammo at civilians? I called them terrorists before, and I'm standing by that designation. Deflecting bullets with a micsaber? While I'll accept that the blade could be physically capable of doing so, I can't believe that the girls are. They don't have superhuman reflexes. They're just ordinary kids. Points to Chieri for taking down the mech, and it looked like she recognized it. Probably manufactured by her family's corporation. Quote:
Hmm... although Chieri stalking Yuuko in the preview is interesting. |

Takamina height......check out them shoes..:P
About the attack on the planet..I'm working on the theory that Chieri's dad influenced DES to attack the planet to take back his daughter. That would explain why they came into an ent. protected planet. And I don't think this show intended target is for yuri shipper since the show genre seem more like shoujo...XD

Like that's a barrier. One of the current girls' series - Smile Precure - has an elaborate tangled web of relationships where you could reasonably pair up nearly any of the five girls together in any conceivable combination, and seeing the way it develops on pixiv, this fanon, is fun. Granted, most of it's a delusion, but then, so is most shipping.

In fact, I was comforted by the point the show made that the "antis" can be useful. In my experience, many of their posts have a grain of truth. They just lack breadth of understanding and a sense of proportion. If the performer can be thick-skinned enough, the criticism can be useful. Another enjoyable episode.

On the issue of Cheri and Nagisa being put smack in the center -- some people in the know would say it's a "push" because to be placed at the center of, say, a music video or a stage performance matters much, a little positive thing that could very well (factored in along with those other little things) indirectly affect their standing at the upcoming senbatsu election announcement in two day's time.
As for fan-pandering: it's going to stay as a fact of life in most parts of the Japanese entertainment industry; what's popular is bound to sell, no matter how derp it might look to some people (as well as for those outside the country and who aren't natural anthropologists). Having rewatched the episode, looks like I missed out that Katyusha is in orbit over another planet (ala Sulaco). My bad. :P

It's like....she think girls are cute and just like to touch them. It's not really Yuri..but her perverted 30 yrs old men personality is pretty famous and she's pretty touchy with other girls. Especially Kojima Haruna Spoiler for kojiyuu:
I think threats like that can be common..not bombs...tho hard to rule it out since management could keep it under secret... but some haters do go to some great length to injure celeb. A Korean idol Yunho got poisoned with super glue Of course...Kpop fandom and korean idol fandom is full of crazier people than the Jpop idol scene so the extend is worst. I have heard cases of fans coming up to the girls at handshake event and insult them because idols like the 48 are much easier target to criticism because of their regular handshake events. Coincidentally the story line of this ep coincide with this incident, pretty sure there's some inspiration from real life events of antis at AKB handshake... Which make me wonder what's the point? spending $20 just to diss them to their face? wow....

How dare that brat make Orine cry. Thankfully she was able to get over it and help her grow. Orine first fan was too cute. So the DES robots that attacked were form Chieri's family? Like how they used their recent single for the promo music.
