Maybe it's going to be similar to Kanata where her harsh word helped her release her pent up feeling. I'm assuming the beach scene have to be them relaxing and taking a break + it is summer over in Japan + AKB just released their summer song....expecting already Ponytail/Kachuusha insert songs, maybe Manatsu to help pimp out their new record breaking 1.6 million in first week single.

But yeah, it seems her main purpose in the story for now is to introduce conflict and tension. I do hope Okada has more in store for her though, since her bitchy act is getting old fast.

Regarding Chieri I guess it's just a mix of not really knowing what to say plus the fact that she take AKB0048 and becoming a successor as something very serious, and gets annoying when she sees the other girls taking it in a way she thinks it's lightly.
Looking back at episode 1, on the concert on Lancastar 4 years ago, there is a girl that looks a lot like the current Sae, and even pilots a mecha like her, and who I thought it was her, but actually have different hair and eyes color. If she happens to be the previous Sae then at least one of the 8 famous member the story shows more of wasn't there since 4 years ago.

http://akb0048.jp/glossary/ The DGTO fleets rely on Dualium to travel across the galaxy and maintain their hold on the galaxy. Planets like Rankastar maintain their neverending need for resources.

There is a lot of interesting new info on this new batch. So the idol aura is really related with souls. I wonder if it will be related with how the succession system works... will their souls "connect" with the original members souls XD?

Yeah, no... I'm not sure it means "soul" in the literal sense. Anyway, this line caught my attention: Quote:
Needless to say I still think this "soul" thing is some sort of symbolism. "AKB0048 are the idols who sing their love." That's what Mimori said, right? Maybe that's what having the "soul of an idol" means: being able to sing your love, as corny as that sounds.

That confirms what I was thinking about (along the lines of Macross Frontier, about idols and fold manipulation) when I first watched the Kirara interact with the veterans, and the critters do get excited and light up.

Of course the Dualium also proves my theory right about DGTO, why bother with idols when you can do the same by working people to death in Dualium mines? After they are the Deep Galaxy Trade Organization and profit comes before love and music.

EDIT: And two hours later, that's all the character profiles. Slightly exhausting, but they're done.

It's still just a theory at this point, though. It seems to fit the facts, but we can't prove it yet. |
