True..there isn't alot of promotion but even if they don't promote it in Akiba, AKB's fanbase has expanded out from that area yrs ago. I'm sure AKB fans know about the show, and that's a pretty large amount of people already. Watanabe Mayu is actually 2nd ranking member now, and received alot of news about her being the next ace and since she's in this anime, it might draw attention to this show.
If alot of fans aren't able to see the show on TV, but they probably know about it since news of AKB anime was covered by Oricon website as well as morning news shows that usually don't cover anime releases, there's high chance they might buy the BD, especially since the price of the 1st volume seem pretty cheap. Anyway~ preview for next ep...Oh damn..Takamina D:

that would really give way since there's hint of Kanata's succession but I hope not in this way...D:
I don't like the idea of "well, this successor got blew up by mecha from the government so you're next, good luck"......:\

As expected, Chieri cried . However, she is somehow a over gown loli + imouto chara type. Having Takamina story in this episode is good as it shows that the current sucessors have their own flaws as well

Despite her looks, she's just a 13 years old girl. Besides, considering for how long she must have been carrying all this baggage about her family, it seemed appropriate to let herself go and cry like the little girl she really is. It didn't seem stereotypical to me, it actually seemed kinda realistic (well, as realistic as you can get in this setting anyway).

Anyway I don't think we have to worry about that since this Takamina isn't the exact real Takahashi Minami.

I just watched the sub version partially. It seems that takamina is not happy because Kanata will never get promoted as long as she is around but she angst because someone is going to replace her in time to come. I guess the earlier reason might be it.

Anyway, I'm hoping next episode she'll realize that she can't keep being insecure about her position even if Kanata is closer to the original Takahashi, because everyone depends on her as AKB's leader. Right now she is Takamina, not Kanata, and she needs to do her best for the group's sake. Provided they don't kill her off, of course....

I don't think this is very likely. Takamina dying now that she is insecure would take away any happiness the girls would have from Kanata becoming a successor, and may even destroys their dynamic.
I thnk next episode will be a life and death situation which will make Takamina get her confidence in herself back.

A death at this point is hardly Kawamori's style of anime. If he do, it will be either the end of this season or the middle of season 2, my guess will be the later.
I do hope one thing, we will see Acchan in the next episode in a flashback. |

Some of the girls finally got the chance to be on stage.
They sure made an interesting selection for the stand-ins. The rest were still enjoying themselves and training hard as usual. Kanata was surprisingly supportive to Chieri. Those Kirara of succession were pretty interesting. Takamina sure tookthe kirara's new decision badly.

AKB0048 07 - Glowing Recommendation
I like the design of the Kirara Forest/Shrine thing. Areas with that supernatural, not of this Earth feeling have always captivated me. The idea of having the next generation picked by the Kirara is interesting, and makes me wonder. Is Sensei-sensei possibly a giant Kirara itself? The idea wouldn't be too out of the way at this point. Figured Chieri's secret would have to come to the forefront eventually. Kanata returning the favor was a pretty good way to handle it. Makes it feel like the character development came full circle, though another thread has already opened up. Nagisa was all ready to succeed Yuuko... and probably won't. At least, for now. I can see this having repercussions for a few episodes. And on a completely unrelated note, what gave Sonata the idea that bears hop? |

its Ghost Madoka time!!!

wow an orgy in the dressing room....... holy crap!! a sacred place filled with lots of Kiraras!! & their LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL's are amplified to over 9000 or infinity!!
i wonder what's running in Nagisa's head when she barged into the room then saw Chieri & Kanata embracing with eachother on the floor?..... hmmm, suspicious......

Poor Takamina! What a thing to have happen! Don't give up, captain. Don't give up on yourself, and don't give up on Kanata. You have been there as a strong leader when the others needed you, don't give up on yourself now! And don't let them tell you who you can or cannot be, or who Kanata can or cannot be. You were strong enough to become Takamina in the first place, you can be strong enough to tell them that you will not accept having to give up your position or forcing Kanata to stay a trainee for years until you retire. Have faith in yourself, and faith in Kanata, and you can find a way to overcome this. With that "no one can replace her" bit at the end, I hope Yuuko doesn't get upset with Kanata. I'd like to think she's smarter than that, but she does seem to be the sort of person who acts first based on her emotions rather than rational thought. Ooo... I don't like tension among the girls. I believe trusting themselves and trusting each other is as important a part of being an idol in this universe as all the singing, dancing, and emoting stuff is. Chieri's Kirara reacted strongly to Nagisa's determination to be on that stage with her friends. I believe that unity is essential. And I just remembered something that worries me a bit. Chieri's kirara disappeared when she was embarrassed about trying to pull Yuuko's sexy pose in front of the window. I don't think it ever came back throughout the rest of the episode. That... makes me concerned. |
