Volume 1 of the Blu-ray is out in japan. Hopefully we get a RAW soon to see what was added to episode 1.

Regarding on why Chieri isn't able to light up the Kirara yet or wasn't able to do so, I think one of my previous theory have something to do. By being in a place where she should have a really hard time to get any training, she was too focused on improving her skills. That focus may have taken away her mind from the idea of helping 0others, making others happy through her performance, which seems to be related with the soul of an idol and that makes the Kirara glow.

or maybe the kiara just glow because idol power (see macross frontier/7) and emotions, do nto directly affect kirara.

The glossary says they are attracted to the radiance of the human soul, not idols in particular, so I don't think so. Still, even if that was the case, it wouldn't explain why this kirara is so attached to Chieri, all the opposite actually. And besides, idol potential seems to be indicated by the hearts in eyes and hair, and Chieri has those too, so...

Nine episodes have come and gone, and still... We have yet to hear Miyuki Sawashiro pull off her version of Acchan.

Well, her voice does the intro speech for the first three episodes, so even if Acchan doesn't appear at all, Sawashiro already earned her cut.

You welcome.

At this point, I'm really itching for Acchan to appear and troll everyone. I know she's in this anime D:
why this suspense~ ;A;

BTW how long does it usually take for BD to get on Nyan or other download site?
I WANT THE EXTRA HEAVY ROTATION SCENE!!!

Also someone update the BD sales when it's up please~

[Kazu-kun]

^ Real trolling will be if she doesn't appear at all. The massive butthurt from all the Acchan fans watching the show will be delicious.

[Sylphic]

Given the show's pedigree, lololol Macross, be prepared for maximum trolling.

The time it takes for the BD to show up on those sites varies a lot from show to show.

Oh, I'll never know, but no surprises if it turns out she's a hologram.

All the girls were knocked out and fed to the creature in the shrine as soon as they joined up, and the whole show has just been a hallucination they've had while they're being digested?

The kiraras are here to usher in the next phase of human evolution through idol-singing?

The whole AKB0048 organization was actually a conspiracy to merge all of humanity into one massive collective consciousness with the idols as the keys for the whole process?

The cake really is a lie?

Dunno if it's been mentioned yet, but apparently NewType published titles for episodes 8-11 a while back. As it turns out, they decided to change the titles of 8 and 9 (8 was going to be "Kanamina" and 9 was going to be "The Dreams of the Stars") so who knows if the titles listed for 10 and 11 are going to be the same... but for what it's worth, 10 is "The Miracle of the Waves" (波間のキセキ) and 11 is "Lancastar".

Hmm... episode 10's title is sufficiently vague, but what do they have planned for episode 11?

[mochichan]

Hmm....I can't figure out miracle of the waves...but considering the situation, maybe the word "miracle" is something that help out Takamina? Either fight or graduate. Stop flip flopping D:<

If ep 11 is Lankastar then the show will go another full circle and go back to their home town for a concert and we'll get to see Nagisa's dad pissed off :P

In any case this seems to indicate we'll go back to Chieri Nagisa and other mains soon. I'm glad. I was getting a little tired of Kanata and Takamina really.

[chaosprophet]

Funny that on episode 1 around 18:15, Orine is walking around the place she worked and comments she will be back someday when the cherry blossoms bloom (after making some random 360 turn-).

This may also be bad for the girls, with possible sad situations with Nagisa's parents and/or Yuka's boyfriend.

[sa547]

Let's see... as of now, checking Tsutaya:

And don't forget Orine's now probably finished DES' death machine....

Really, for our main girls, Lancastar is a disaster waiting to happen.

[Random Wanderer]

Hmm, nobody likes my crazy theories. Oh well.

...What?

Anyway, 0048 should have some sort of policy regarding runaways performing on the planets they came from. It adds a whole 'nother layer of complication to things, potentially putting the team at greater risk than they would have been normally.
