13 years olds working in a factory...
Dystopian future that prohibits singing... Guerrilla live show - just a few thousands of people, kilowatts of music and special effects - what could be easier to hide from the government? There should be like a dozen of places at most in that city that can even host that many people... Terrific mixture of CGI and art... Apparently, every self-respecting tiny idol girl spends far more time in a gym than in studio, learning how to kick some serious police ass. It's not like they need to spend their days in singing or dancing practice, right? It is something that is always with them... ...That was almost on the level of Musashi Gundoh... |

Just for fun, here's a personality test (but also load up Google Translate in another tab, as the test is entirely in kanji, so copy and paste) that tells you what character you are close to:
http://festa.hangame.co.jp/shop2012/akb0048.nhn Asides from allowing you to post the results into your Twitter feed, it also gives you a costume prize for your avatar (should you have an game account and character for it, and only if you're in Japan). So far I had Yuko:

That said, I just can't figure out how I feel about this show. I have no hopes or expectations. Which is probably a good thing, since the show I was super psyched about (Aquarion) is annoying me beyond comprehension. This show might just turn out great |

Goodness, you're lucky! What you got is Atsuko Maeda the 13th, the group's famous center. Also known as "Acchan". For viewers who wishes to know a little more, these might help: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AKB48 http://stage48.net/wiki/index.php?title=Main_Page Also (and again), you can look around for the AKB49 manga, which basically serves both as a primer and an excellent story.

Thanks for the links, I'll have a look around. Probably best to have some background info for this. I just hope they'll be able to tell a story without being super constrained by the fact that the cast is based on real people. Then I'll be happy |

I dunno, Nagisa's seiyuu annoyed me to no end. Orine/Yuuka did great IMO
And where's blue haired girl? Probably the most aesthetically pleasing of the group IMO, so was sad we didn't get to see her after the time skip. I sure hope they don't drop Yuuka's BF as a side story. It would be really touching if he had a change of heart and ask for her autograph sometime in the future.

I don't think something's bad happened to Acchan down there at Akibastar. Instead I believe that she's working on something or kept back for a special project... I could think of a thousand reasons why she's not in the recruitment video.
A thought struck me just a few minutes ago; the anime is more like a love letter to some fans, and I say "some" because not everyone is delighted to have an anime version of their oshimen (or I'd say their "goddesses" or apsaras). (To someone who pointed out something in the negative, PM me for a full explanation.)

I think most AKB fans are happy about the anime, if there's complain, it's probably with the moe design. I think the design overall it's kinda cute but...the design doesn't do them justice lol...i wanted the design to be like this, less realistic but not all the way moe. :P
