Yes, I pointed that out earlier. On the other hand, in the silhouetted performance during the ED, it seems pretty clear that Nagisa is center.
I really liked the lighting effects in this scene. Spoiler for end of 11:

And I personally don't think Yuuko is doing anything wrong here. The way 00 is now, with this shady S4 guy calling all the shots, is way too arbitrary. That kind of management failed in the real AKB, and it would be cool to see it fail in the series too. Quote:

One thing that the early episodes made clear was that everyone there shares a willingness to protect and foster the dreams of others. It was for that purpose that our trainees were willing to sacrifice their lives in an uneven battle in episode 3, so that a concert which would bring hope to the lives of others could proceed safely. That is the fundamental purpose of AKB0048. Each of them have other interests and desires, but that one is the core. The fact that they hold that as their core belief is why they were chosen to join.

I can't speak for needing changes in the management structure. I don't know what happened with real-life AKB. Quote:

I'm judging based on the fact that I have seen you repeatedly say, when something happens in this series that doesn't make sense to you, that the show's creators must have screwed up. It is a conclusion you have seemed quick to jump to as this show has been airing. I am not trying to insult you, although (like Chieri) I have trouble phrasing what I'm trying to say so it comes out the way I mean it. It merely seems to me that you are quick to assume an error on someone's part, when from my perspective we don't know enough to properly make that judgement. And so, drawing from that conclusion, I tried suggesting that the creators could be trying to do something different from what you might be expecting, rather than just screwing things up. I was hoping I could help you broaden your perspective and consider other possibilities. I was not trying to being insulting, and I apologize if it came across that way.

An idol is never ugly. An idol is always kawaii desu~ Beside even back then, she still have a cute smile And Nagisa is imperfect tho. She doesn't have alot of qualities that stand out. We haven't heard her being praise much. She is pretty average. If this group is AKB in the future, chances are they still have the same similar concept going. And..in AKB, AkiP is still the head too and isn't AKB management doing fine? The management is still doing w/e the hell they want. Team Shuffle in 09 even tho there's nothing wrong with the teams, Team transfer of SKE Jurina and NMB Milky randomly, Sashihara's still have fans despite her scandal....AKB still selling millions..failing?

Not exactly surprised that Mamoru picked anyone else to be a fan of besides Yuuka. Could just look at it that he doesn't want to just be her fan. That's not the kind of relationship they had. Maybe just wants to create that distinction. Of course good luck giving Yuuka that theory . She's got the demon eyes on everyone around him right now .
Oh the irony of Orine possibly being killed by a machine she helped create. Of course she needed a job to support herself and on a world like that she probably didn't have many options. Kind of weird though to know that a nice girl like Orine and some nice old ladies were helping to make death machines. Feelings really don't make it into some creations. I'm sure she'll be fine, though for a moment though the old ladies had highjacked a machine to come and help Orine out . Things are getting stressful. Kanata getting too carried away with what Takamina was telling her. Doesn't have to force things. But really that's just part of the entire disharmony. Right now 0048 needs a miracle more than the planet does. Yuuko's frustrated both by still not reaching the center nova position, the successor Kirara, and now this new song business. Have to agree that Chieri's diplomacy is terrible. She'd be sent in to calm some people down and instead she'd start a war. No matter her intentions the words just help set things off.

Yuuko, Chieri and the others are so confused because they are pushed around by S4 and the kiraras. And the worst is that they don't even know what is the standard S4 and kirara use to select the girls, so they don't know what to do to be more successful. These idols are going blind because, besides being really arbitrary their "management" is shrouded in mystery.

I agree about the idols in the anime not knowing what's going on but the real AkiP is pretty troll-ish so no wonder S4 is this unpredictable character.

Oooh, Mamoru being the ex crush of Yuuka, who supposedly hates AK0048 but became Suzuko's fan, and now he's hanging out with a girl named Aoi? I love you Okada; you and your intricate love polygons. XD
As someone who's a Chieri fanatic, can't say I like Nagisa now being pushed to become centre. Saw it a mile coming, but doesn't mean I have to agree with it.

It's not about being unpredictable. Ultimately Akimoto is human (and a business man at that) so you can guess to some extent where he's coming from if you put some thought into it. S4 and the kirara on the other hand are.... well, we don't know what they are, so there's no way to know what they base their decisions on.
Then again, this is why it is the perfect (and cheapest) plot device. Since we don't know what makes S4 ticks Okada can pull off whatever she wants without explaining or justifying anything. "It's magic, I ain't gonna explain shit".

I know this is too much to ask, but could we spend more time discussing the anime itself and have fewer arguments about the real-world AKB48? It's really tiresome for someone like me who cares not a whit about them and is only interested in the show itself.
