Something interesting to note in this episode. If this is Tomochin's first election, then the Tomochin 4 years ago on Lancastar, may be her older sister.

AKB0048 17 - An Awards Ceremony Worth Watching
That was a really well done episode. Cutting between the election awards ceremony and the flashbacks made for some really powerful stuff. I could sense it from the voice actresses too, both the pro ones and the understudies. Good to see Chieri realizing she can satisfy her fans and stick it to her father without abandoning the former. If the ending is any indication, she can only do it by docking with Nagisa... wait, wrong series. They've been teasing this Center Nova thing for so long, I wonder how many more episodes it's going to be before they finally reveal all these secrets. If S4, Yuuko and Tsubasa are all talking about it at the same time, something must be starting to move, and it probably has to do with that weird dream from back in episode 1, too. I may not be very well versed in AKB48 lore, but this series is very enjoyable even for someone who isn't. Looking forward to the weeks ahead, for as they said, this is only the beginning. |

Misdirection. With Kawamori that kind of thing is to be expected.

YES! Nagisa finally got it together! I can continue watching without disliking any of the girls!
And apparently, Yuuko is the protagonist now. Sensei sort of agreed, don't bother it about it. Emotions, emotions, emotions. That's what this episode was about, and they were all conveyed quite nicely, particularly Mimori, Kojiharu (now, that was unexpected), Chieri (now, that was intense), Takamina and Yuuko. For the latter and the former two, this was the chance to develop over everything we've seen from them till day one, and it couldn't have come out better. And of course, Nagisa's silent development through the whole event was great as well, it was such a different way to do it, no yelling her to stop being a moron (Thank you, based Kawamori and everyone else involved, for not repeating this), no special situation where she's the only hope, she just watched and realized things weren't as horrible as she expected, and in fact she wants a piece of the action as well. Guess I was right, that heart tugging was her competitive spirit trying to come out, and come out it did. And boy, what a way to wrap it up. When Sensei says something, it's always a big deal, in-series or not, and when Sensei mentions Acchan, you know things are gonna get good. Again, doesn't this pretty much mean Yuuko is now the protagonist? And now, the moment we've all been waiting for, the famous "star wars-like" episode is coming. I know many are expecting mic sabers galore, but it could easily be something more subtle like Acchan repraising her role as Obi-Wan to warn Nagisa and crew about the incoming threat of Aizendad, but even so, I can't wait. Details corner -Your lover's happines is yours, right Megu? I wonder how many times she voted for Sae -Probably about as many as Shizuko did for Sonata. Must be great having your number one "fan" so close. -Chieri finally gets her own fan mecha. Oh Chieri, how could you doubt your fans when they do awesome stuff like that for you? Quote:
Indeed. Being an original series and also trying to keep you at the edge of your seat in purpose is a wonderful thing. |

It's going to be great seeing Chieri and Nagisa go at it with everything they've got now that they have overcome their doubts and are all fired up. Yuuko can see it already, the latent talent these two possess. It's going to be a freaking flash show when they finally manage to unleash their inner combined Acchan.

It's basically something like this: Chieri x Nagisa = Acchan = Center Nova duo. Miichan was a Center Nova.
