So we're just reusing this thread, not starting a new one for the new season?
Well, whatever. Wait wait wait. ...If any of you folks start talking about the raw before the translation is out, I'll... threaten to do violent things to you that I'll be completely unable to follow through on! That'll teach you!

Rivals maybe, but allies and friends above all. That is most important, and after last season I hope they remember it. They seem to be, but you never know.
I still say it seems counterproductive to make these girls compete against each other when they need teamwork against the totalitarian regime that's trying to crush them. Spoiler:

I watched the early release of episode 1, but it definitely was better to watch the episode in higher quality.
(Mainly because the audio and video of the early release I watched on web was off though!) I just realized upon a rewatch that Spoiler for doesn't matter to the plot though:
I'm surprised one wasn't created. But from past experiences, it seems we might as well just keep on using this one. *shrug*

Wonder if Nagisa is the only one who had that dream/vision. Yuuko definitely not backing down was nice to see. SHe just issued her challenge. THough it was unfortunate that they were captured, but Chieri probably just boosted her chances at the election. Liked how they showed Nagisa's father during the whole thing. Nice action packed ep to start things off.

Having seen basquash's perfectly good plot going down the gutter (quite literally) at the half point and rinne no lagrange going stale in season 2, I was afraid AKB would follow the same pattern. Once again, this show has managed to blow away all my expectations by doing what it does best: Actually trying.
And being CRAZY AWESOME in the end. Spoiler for Episode 14:
This is going to be good. |

No offense, but quoting THAT BOARD
Spoiler for why the show is more anticipated than the other:
As for me, with this show I could easily ID each of them. Heck, even their uniforms have a distinct yet subtle variation from one another. Quote:
Spoiler for numerology:

Ah, a comment from days past...
Quote:
She's confident now. She doesn't have to question whether she has a right to be there, or whether the kirara really meant to be with Nagisa instead of her. She knows she's an idol now, even though she hasn't been chosen as a successor yet, and that's all she needed to let her spirit shine. Ha! I didn't even catch that. I was just thinking that's one hell of a lot of hard time to sentence at least two minors to. Well, that and "Phew, they aren't going to try to execute them. Wait, then why did they move in such a rush to the trial if they were just going to throw the girls in prison, where they could be rescued just about as easily as they were from the court?"

I rolled my eyes when the judge said 48 years in prison, but it was a pretty darn fun episode. Definitely a good way to start the season with a bang, but I'm honestly more looking forward to later episodes when the pace slows down a bit and we get some more development on... well, everything. Center Nova, General Elections, Zodiac Corp, daddy issues... they set up a lot of stuff this ep (not to mention the threads left from the previous season) and I'm eager to see where they go.
