AKB0048 05 - Love Pheromone
I know it's been a consistent aspect of the show's character design since the first episode, but I only noticed it this week. Everyone has a heart outline in their hair. I'm not sure what to think of that. It's a unifying design, sure, but it makes them look like humanoid Care Bears.
I can always appreciate a good collection of short stories, and that's what this week was. Mimori and her pheromones made her a quick favorite of mine, even if idols are supposed to be about purity. The seeds for S4 that have been planted are almost certain to pay off down the line, and I look forward to seeing where this mystery goes. The Casa de Tomo was a little creepy. Nagisa and Chieri's friendship/rivalry was as fun to watch as ever. Not just S4, all the stuff brought up this week will probably pay off later.
I just need to tune out the hair-hearts.
