AKB0048 The Last Live - Welcome to Idol Valhalla
The concert from the end of the first half of the show would be tough to top, but did they ever find a way to do it. The arrangement with Nagisa and Chieri seems like a win-win situation for everybody, and narratively, the show did close off many of its major points. I was only aware of AKB48 in the vaguest sense before this show began, but now that it's finished, I feel like I know them pretty well... even if it's in the same context as 765 Pro and μ's, both of which are slightly less real in this case. It's been a really, really enjoyable ride, with emotions running high at several points. Loved seeing all the old characters in the montage - the Funghi, that kid from the handshake episode of the first season - everybody. It feels like a full universe. Whatever's next in the field of idol anime, I'm looking forward to it.
