Definitely not a good start. There was about as much fanservice in one episode as the entire first season had during its entire run time. They said "boobs" like half a dozen times.

And they really need to explain why the fuck entertainment was banned in the first place. Way too much "these guys are the bad guys; hate them!" black-and-white going on.

Stop reading my mind ffs, now I have nothing else to say. I was actually thinking "why did I like this again?" with that stupid fan service in the start. I want the story to be deeper and darker though.
I almost never read discussions after I made my post, if you want to reply PM me or post on my profile page.

I was actually surprised that they sang a team song but I don't complain. They killed Pioneer! It was the best scene ever!
I'm also wondering if they are going to put any SKE/NMB/HKT songs in the anime and if they are going to put members like Sasshi, Jurina or Rena in it.


Hoping they'll put Jurina in tbh <3
I have so much love for that girl especially after reading this and was close to tearing up SMH..She was 11 yrs old at the time...


Preview for next ep.



If you guys aren't familiar with AKB variety shows..it's kinda like this. AKBINGO

The Bungee scene is one of AKB's segment too



Some of the members freaked out like Minegishi Minami. Later when she was hooked to a lie detector, other members joked around and asked if she peed her pants during the bungee XD

Okay start.

I guess the only reason I watch this is because they are using AKB48 songs and voices. As for the plot and setting itself I cannot help but cringe.


Just the opposite for me. I never paid AKB48 any attention until I started watching AKB0048. I don't know why, but I love this anime xD.

It's great how they're putting a face on the antagonists in the story, DES actually feels human now. Fantastic first episode, they created the setting without wasting time by doing constant flashbacks to the first season.

Whoa!? A AKB0048 bingo!

I've never watch akb48bingo before, but I did had a sneak peek somewhere on youtube.

I've never been interested in akb48 before either, and it's because of this anime that I got interested in them.

We call it AKBingo.

Also, don't expect any more depth. Instead, more fun and a good dashes of action and drama.

Yeah! A return to AKB0048 feels so good.

The performances, the songs, the plot, the "to be next stage" and the return of Nagisa's soft voice. I have high hopes and expectations of this series so I was damn happy it's continuing.

Great stuff from the start, I think the CGI has improved this time. I didn't feel that awkward disparity between the hand-drawn scenes and the 3D computer animated ones. Visualisations of the collapsing staircase were great and it went straight into the meaty plot of the general elections and more importantly, the center nova position. Good cliffhanger, I'm getting bad vibes from Chieri's father.

Looking forward to watching what the OP and ED will be like next week.

Probably more this season with turning a hostage rescue into a concert and DES accusing AKB0048 of brainwashing the mass with pop music :P
The craziness is fun to watch <3

I like how ridicoolous this show is =)

Also, after being corrupted by rock n roll in my youth, a little bit of brainwashing by pop music can't hurt

The 2nd season starts with some bangs. I am sure not so many people would have guessed they would start the season with members being captured and brought to trial !! All these made the 2nd season even more entertaining compared to last season right from the beginning. They even managed to squeeze in 3 AKB songs in the episode, apart from the new OP/ED !
So MAL finally starts locking news threads that are only a few weeks old?

I wonder where was the announcement of this change? Or we are seeing yet another case of changes made that impacted users but not communicated to them?

I wonder how long people would put up with this.

As much as I have a bunch of information to share about anime announced recently I cannot share it in news board, and the anime series is too disorganized and chaotic to share information except with people already interested in the particular series.

Holy crap did things get intense fast. First, they announce the return of the Center Nova position and the General Election, and the next thing we know three members are captured and they go on a retrieve mission. What a great start to the new season. Hmm this election thing is going to be interesting and I can already see a lot of drama arising from it :/.

Nice bath scene too :D.

(rewatching)

OMG I love this anime so much!

Three full songs... Epic action... Setup for the season with the general elections and the return of the center nova position =D

LOL the court sentenced them to 48 years.

Edit: 2014-05-13, 3rd time watching and I don't like double-posting so I'll edit...
I want to ride that rollercoaster! This season starts off with a bang. At least as exciting as the finale of the first season. Pioneer yo!
