Only the Centers disappeared, but normal idols like the Tomochins and Tsubasa (who was Mariko Shinoda) graduated and nothing bad happened to them. True. I wonder if Tsubasa was a Center before?

akbfan said: So after the dramas, we get to chill out....kind of. Guessing this ep is more male oriented. :P Hoping there's some emotional stuffs happening instead of just bikinis tho. LOL @ Makoto's insecure about her boobs XD Beach episode I see... this day had to come I know... only hoping it will be at least funny :) I don't have too big expectations from those really (not to mention that naming of albums here is weird a bit) ehh being in fandom is fun I see ;) and 400?! :D like I wanted to check something they made but... it may take some time I see ;) added to mountain of stuff I already have |

| The Beach scene will (sadly?) only be a part of it. A 1-season series with this many characters to develope doesn't have the time to dedicate a full episode to fanservice-fillers. I expect more plot to come along. |

AKB is interesting and fun that keep me being their fan. http://vid48.com/watch_video.php?v=K99MNNU93W5B Request Hour is the best place to check out AKB songs since the set list have 100 songs. Anyway judging from Yuko's seriousness pretty sure there's more drama, they probably just show it at a beach where the atmosphere is not so tense like the last few eps. |

| Yes, half fanservice and half plot I suppose. Tsubasa and Yuuko are probably talking about Takamina getting replaced. After what happen in Tundrastar, and great preformance by them, they definitely deserve some fun and relaxation. Chieri in a bikini. <3 |

| Anyone notice that Tsuabasa has a diamond-shaped lining on her hair and eyes? Even Tomochin's Mother and Grandmother has one too? |
1idd0kun said: Magito said: Anyone notice that Tsuabasa has a diamond-shaped lining on her hair and eyes? Even Tomochin's Mother and Grandmother has one too? Yes. It's pretty much established that when members graduate, the hearts on their eyes and hair become diamond-shaped. If Takamina graduates, we'll probably get to see that change happening. TBH, I expected to see it already with Takamina. Like that space battle in ep8, I somehow expected her to open her eyes with diamonds there instead of hearts. |

It just proves that she still don't wanna give up and it over just yet. |
| Don't forget one of the village girls got the heart shaped lining on eyes during the concert. Next generation forming already. |

I also want to know about the mysterious DES, Mayuyu's background, sudden disappearances of center novas, sensei-sensei... Another thing I want to know, is that if a better successor comes than the current one, will she need to be replace, or will have to wait untill she retires, gives up, unable to perform, or dies? I bet that Tsubasa wants to replace Takamina but Yuuko doesn't want to, based on their conversation on the next episodes' preview. |

| This was a great episode, nice to see everyone performing and having fun while DES were left clueless. I just love the way they dramatize the way these idols bring them hope and inspire these depressed people. That ending scene was pretty sweet though it makes me worry that Takamina is edging towards graduating. |
 |
| wow yeah....so that was speaking russians eh...I was like wait a minute that doesn't sound japanese.... |
| Kanata and Takamina still have a little tension for one more episode. It's understandable that Takamina would not want to give up easily.. but the way she just went there and took the clothes that Kanata is already wearing.. I like how the concert went. And it's like a repeat of episode 1, this time Nagisa and her friends provide inspiration for little girls, just like how they got inspired by their first watching of an AKB0048 concert. And the music is good. |
| Mamiko Noto sparkled so much on the stage this episode. <3 They need a song that features her sparking attitude. |

| Awesome episode, lots of action, drama and music We finally get to see the gang working together as Generation 77 finally get to sing to the public in a concert (in the village) aswell as them helping protect 76 during their concert. |

| (rewatching in 1080p) Love this episode! Kept me on the edge of my seat. These concert battles are so enjoyable :) |
  |
| WTF Takamina.. Feel sorry for Kanata |

| The opening performance of the understudies outmaneuvering the des was clever. There was something nostalgic about the old town snowy night setting, and it really helped emphasize the contrast between the bitterness of that town and the colorful dreams that the idols delivered. Especially with how happy that group of girls was. Handing over the uniform to Takamina must have been extremely painful for Kanata, I wouldn't have blamed her for wanting to keep it on with her hopes up. I wonder if the current one is finally going to graduate. |
 |
| I am getting sick of the Takamina thing. They are devoting so much time to it. I get it, Kanata is better suited but the current Takamina doesn't want to graduate... |
| 3rd time watching The "Heart Gatta Virus" performance is one of the most memorable in the series. I always look forward to this episode for that. :) |
|
| This anime's atmosphere is really getting to me! Really great episode, let's see what happens next. |
 |
| Damn that planet's condition was pretty bad, at least they managed to do a good representation especially for these little girls who love idols too. Still kinda hard for Takamina's drama though :( |
 |
| Heart shaped virus, huh? Was it, too , made in Vektor lab? |
