On a side note, is it me, or Chieri looks a bit like Sheryl in this pic?

[chaosprophet]

Shouldn't we try to keep all preair info on spoiler tags? Some people may be waiting to watch it yet (with a nico live premium account for instance, or maybe waiting until someone could upload it), or even waiting up to it's actual release and a sub for it...

[Kazu-kun]

Ok, I added spoiler tags to my previous post.

[xizro345]

Pretty interesting beginning. My primary expectations would be that they'll end up explaining a lot of the stuff hinted in the first part.

[chaosprophet]

Something interesting, from this episode we get the confirmation that Yukirin 6th real name is read "Kuroki Ayako"

[tsunade666]

when did episode 14 pre-air shows is it nico or webversion or aired in tv?

EDIT:

Its only been aired in nico?

[Kazu-kun]

Damn, look at Chieri glowing. And this is the girl who couldn't even make her kirara glow in the past. She's a goddess now.

Spoiler for Chieri:

It was a special early screening at a live event, but the even and episode were also streamed over Nico. You can find a stream rip on torrent sites.

...and as I'm watching, I hope they'll tie up most, if not all, the loose ends that were present yet barely answered in the first season.

DES finally did something! Attacking at the perfect moment. They could had showed up a minute earlier.

By the way, anyone know what is the song during the battle scene?

Spoiler for Insert Song - Pioneer {AKB48 Team A 6th stage song}:

1 more thing, the Star Wars thingy did happen!

[chaosprophet]

Talking about Star Wars, it was said we were getting something like that on episode 5. Maybe it can really be a micsaber duel. Maybe the info zodiac is researching about the idols radiance may be used to create their dark version of its (be it by using mind controlled poor girls, constructed being like Mayuyu, or even males who would have some equipment that would let them use the radiance somehow).

[mechdra]

Clone War? Getting 76th generation to the dark side? Why am I not surprised.

There is something important at the end of the episode.

Spoiler for Chieri's father:

From what I can understand a little, he refer to Chieri as 'my daughter' but then he switched to 'Sono Chieri". The way he said it sound like she is some kind of product.

I got a feeling that Chieri might not be blood related to him and she might be some kind of genetic engineered idol.

While there is a possibility, I think your idea is somewhat of a stretch.

Spoiler for Chieri's father:

I believe it's just the fact that he doesn't consider her his daughter anymore and/or he tend top see people as objects when they're of some use to his objectives.

Reminds me of how Stalin reacted when informed that his son was captured by the Nazis.

Watched the new episode one more, and

Spoiler for a few things I noticed:

*I laughed when Tsubasa was chosen over Acchan (and she face-palmed)
*A good deal of "service".
*Disregarding realism (who needs too much of it in this show, anyway?), this has to be the fastest, no-muss rescue mission I ever seen.

Otherwise, even it's just a preair, soon it will be worth watching despite the stiff competition this show would be facing.

Personally, I already think this is the best 2013 show. Am I too much of a fanboy or what?

Well, considering we just got out of a year with plenty dissapointments (LB, SAO, Muv-luv, etc) and the first episode of s2 already seems to be dealing succesfully with some of the biggest concerns fans of this series should have (forgetting Megu exists, fear of the understudies being reset to act like total newbies, lacking a face for the bad guys, lack of plot progression in general), I think there are enough reasons to be hyped.

I'll keep my own opinion on the best of 2013 subject to myself until kaminomi s3 comes out, though.

[serenade_beta]

Spoiler for season 2 ep1:

It was a good start and definitely nostalgic, but the quality of the video was poor, so I can't wait for the actual episode to be aired.

At least I know there is one anime next season worth watching.
