(L) Akb0048

[sa547]

Damn, not just good but GREAT: action, drama, comedy, shipping... what else I could ask for?

Spoiler:

And Anna Murashige (HKT48) speaks full-on Russian here, playing the role of the girl in a red coat.

AND SOME GIRL JUST GOT A THOUSAND GAR POINTS.

[Kazu-kun]

Spoiler for hearts, hearts everywhere!!:

Did you guys notice the hearts that appeared on that loli's eyes when she got really exited watching the concert?

It was as if her fate changed at that moment. Before the concert she was just a random loli, but now she's fated to become an idol. How cool is that!?

[mochichan]

Spoiler for ep 9 <3:

LOL~ AKB converting lolis to idols....XD

Well either way I love all the dramas and the Kanata + Takamina relationship <3
I really hope they can make both of them successor..I don't like how one have to be left behind successor system right now. The trainees got along alot better now. Kirara glowed for Nagisa, not surprise why :P

ALSO DES GOT HEART GATA-ED LOLOLOL~ XD
That scene was so ridiculous but awesome the same time XD

And finally got my River performance
OMFG can't wait to see all that pyrotechnic in HD <3
The song really is about the people in that planet and Takamina too. The River in front of them is deep and dark but they can always overcome it. CC for english lyric.

Kirara didn't glow. I'm rewatching the raw right now and I'm pretty sure that's just normal Kirara.

HEADS-UP: According to Sayaka Nakaya:

The (hand-shaking) event is over !!

Thank you everyone !!

And !!
I heard that starting July 7 , ” AKB 0048 ” will start its broadcast via TOKYO-MX every Saturday at 2530H !!

I wanted to announce it during the event !!

Spoiler for ep 9:

I thought it did during the Aitakatta scene when it flew next to Nagisa :O
But then I saw it streamed so the quality was pretty crappy

TOKYO MX is one of the big station right?
This will give the show more exposure at least. But why wait now to pull in the big stations?

Again, it's odd, but somehow with certain shows having done their run, this allows 0048 a free slot for a replay within the Tokyo metropolitan area.

(BTW, I feel like celebrating... Could you spare me an ice-cold bottle of "333"? )

I prefer Klashikov's vodka...

But this really show what type of show it really is. It won't be another Symphogear or Madoka but a straight foward show about rebels fighting the good fight...

[Kazu-kun]

Is there a limit to Chieri's cuteness, I wonder....

[mochichan]

Her whole solo speech during the Heart Gata performance was kawaii :3
BTW....the cheap out animation in certain scene really bugged me in this ep.......D:

..I really wonder about 2nd season.....the schedule restraint with the production and AKB own activities might be the reason why they ended with ep 13 to wait till AKB members are less busy to start 2nd season. Hopefully that's why because there's SO MANY STUFFS THEY HAVE TO DO IN THE SHOW! D:<
I won't accept half ass :\

[sa547]

For once, the itty-bitty negatives were outweighed by the huge amounts of positives in this episode's story, as they have gone full throttle with lots of insert songs than before.

nó tuyệt vời như vậy!

As for the break in production after the 13th episode, the best explanation I could give is that, with perfect timing Kawamori now has to prepare for the 30th anniversary of Macross.

Also it was funny how her speech caught Nagisa off-guard. She was like "what the heck I don't even...."

[mochichan]

^
Probably because Nagisa didn't expect Chieri to do that speech lol.
Lately Chieri cold personality is melting away :')

btw, what's the name of the ballad at the end?

[Bombo]

Spoiler for 9 Raw:

Nagisa how cuuuuuuuuuute <3

I think it's Sasae.

EDIT:

The concert was great but I feel a bit disappointed. I really wanted River to be performed by the trainees.

Oh well, what's done is done. Now I hope we get Kaze wa Fuite Iru for the last concert, performed by the trainees this time please!

[mochichan]

Kaze wa Fuiteiru was dedicated to tsunami victims so if they're going to insert it, the scenerio might be about a planet that suffered some disaster? Since so far, the main song tend to fit the storyline. Or it could be just use as an empowering song. I would love it if Kaze is performed in the show :'D

And the trainees will get their time soon enough. I want the end concert to be epic <3

[chaosprophet]

All around great episode.

Spoiler for ep 9:

A very good episode with a good mix of drama, fights, and heartwarming scenes. So many of the characters shined in this episode in a way. The WOTA too, were quite awesome. Funny how Tsubasa seems to have so much fun on deceiving the DES army.

For a moment there around the end of the episode I thought Takamina was going to cast her worries aside, but actually seems like she is more decided on graduating now. Hopefully next episode will bring this matter to an conclusion, be it with her graduating or finally getting her act together.

Thanks to Mimori (lol at her "Don't worry! After all... I'm a big M!" XD) and also the situation with the lolis later, seems like Megumi overcame her feeling regarding Sae's promotion. I'm expecting for the next episode to follow up on that having a scene showing her and making up with Sae, and maybe with her influence things will get better with the 76th girls in general.

While in episode 7/8 it was Chieri who helped Nagisa realize some things, in this episode it was Nagisa's time to do so. This ep also showed how all the understudies are improving so they can get closer to their goal of becoming successors.

AKB0048, converting your lolis since Stellar Year 0001? XD

[sa547]

Them subs are out now, and I'm getting.

[serenade_beta]

Spoiler for ep9:

And Takamina and Kanata live another episode! Though it looks like Takamina might finally have decided to give up.

It's not... bad using foreign languages, but not only was it sudden, but those girls would talk Russian one moment and then Japanese the next and that wasn't really explained.
In general, a great episode though. Who was the protagonist again...?

[RDF2050]

I had watch this episode like 10 times already and still can't get tired every single moment of it.
