| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- This series! THIS SERIES! Is a marvelous in it mix up. AKB0048 is there is a easy first impression of this series without the mix up, then it certainly rings around Idolmaster with some spice and futurama. Indeed much of the setup is in the future but it promises one thing with the following,  MOE! Loads and loads of it with many favorites such as the Seiyuu’s voice + the character she voices along with the joy of her fans. I can see in the spoiler From the looks of the following,  Singing will be the next Top thing in this series but more than anything in the spoiler I can already see in the spoiler It leaves further to desire of the spoiler Nagisa in the spoiler We are introduced to a love situation in the spoiler Nice par in the spoiler If the crying of Yuuka was not enough the ones of Nagisa and Aida in the spoiler In thee end in the spoiler With all the environment going on around and the drama along with what the girls will do and how the futuristic technology will show is what I am keeping tabs on in this show. Might edit later. Any load of GIFs or anything from it, is welcomed to be proposed to me. I will see if I can have time to make the requester smile after doing some graphics. BTW Image Stitches and Image Dump done: http://ecchiking99.blogspot.ca/2012/05/akb0048-episode-1-now-with-image.html The art is too look out for as much as Hyouka I find. Notes: Takahashi Minami the 5th aka Takamina = to green haired idol Mariko = to Coordinator with glasses Yuuko aka Nyan Nyan = to Idol with purple eyes and orange hair color. Kirara Planet Lancaster Flashback was 4 years ago. |

akbfan said: The thing is I compared it to Idolmaster due to some concepts being taken from there and most of all that Idolmaster may have like Macross inspired much elements in this anime series. On that point it cannot be argued because many animes tend to do that. What does make it different are the futuristic aspect IMO.Tho I do have a problem with people comparing it to idolmaster...in the real idol industry, things like struggling, family problems happen all the time, many of the real AKB48 girls struggled with it , but since idolmaster is like the most popular idol anime, I guess that's what anime fans first think of when they think of "idols." Honestly it's not like they can make the story any different. All idols/celeb struggle at first so it can't be help they have similar storyline. |
| I'm confused.They're idols.They sing... they pilot robots...they fight using their fists,stunguns,and lightsabers?!WTH?! |
| Very tragic and beautiful The idols are multi talented, able to sing and dance like any idol but also fight hand to hand, with weapons, and even mechs. The setting is similar to Metal Max with some new, current, and futuristic technology, but way more depressing even the school looks 1940's but the stage looks futuristic as well as the military weaponry, the computers the girls hold and mechs. Macross Frontier reference in that poster, kind ironic since I compare the series to this. The military are just tyrannical, I swear they are responsible for the death I seen. Nagisa's family is a mess, mom is ok but mostly not very encouraging well until the end, father needs to lighten up a lot. 5/5 10/10 |

SakuraRainbow said: I can't find the raw online, anybody know where to watch it? And does anybody know of any fansubs group planning to pick this one up? You can find any raw animes from http://animetore.blog84.fc2.com/blog-entry-7482.html and http://himado.in/ and http://wwwwwwwwwww.net/ |
| Nothing like a over the top intro 1st episode to introduce the anime. Think I will enjoy watching this. |
 |
| Don't wanna set my hopes drastically high I mean doing that for something like this just makes you hate it when its done soz |
 |
| It's quite nice~ The music, the character designs, and the art I didn't have any issue with the voice actings either. I guess we won't need to worry about the rest of the casts Mecha fighting, that was unexpected o.O But where did the blue hair girl went? Hum... The only problem that I have is with the 3D animation (the dancing part in the beginning) It didn't seem to fit. It just looks different from the rest of the anime. I thought they looked like holograms... >_> |
 |
| Wow, it's really like Macross with that macha for trying to protect the concert from the military forbidding the activities of the entertainment. |
I ♥ Two Syaorans from Tsubasa RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE and TRC!!! |
| Kinda reminds me of Idolmaster for some reason. |
 |
| Macross missiles spam. AKB0048 confirmed to be awesome. Honestly though, that was a pretty fun first episode. On a different note, HorribleSubs is actually fasubbing the show, and their release is on par with some of Commie or gg's releases in terms of the amount of trolling involved. @Shih "I thought they looked like holograms..." Some of them were projected images, but I see your point. The CGI didn't bother me in this episode, however. |

| Ha. As excepted. we would get mix of Macross and Idolmaster there. I wonder how much eps would be? |
 |
Plot is pretty good. Underground entertainment. The characters are adorable. I enjoyed how idols beat up the soldiers, lol. |
|
| I feel like I've seen too many idol-centred anime lately beside the fact that I don't find idols to be appealing at all. I am interested in the setting with the oppressive regime though as it has lots of potential for political intrigue. However, I have my doubts that the story will ever dive more into politics than it was shown here and that the setting will ever unfold its full potential. |

| I want Rambo in a mecha-suit with a laser-chainsaw gun that fires nuclear warheads, fighting the love-child of Predator, Alien, a group of Bangladeshi terrorists, and Satan. (Actually that would be a pretty sick show) - StopDropAndBowl |
| Pretty enjoyable imo. Pretty nice plot they've made just for AKB48 lol. I was more amused at their cyberpunkish backdrops tho ahahaha. 4/5 |
| Why do my lolis have male interests? What the fuck, man. |
 |
| Nice scenery, might be worth watching. |
| . |
| The opening scene and background setting were so utterly dumb I was forced to drop this. |
 In every age, in every place, the deeds of men remain the same. |
| You know, this premise is actually pretty cool. I'm looking forward to this show. |
| Wow, I can't believe I actually like an anime with lolis about music. This episode was truly epic. I was worried it would be like K-On! or the mentioned Idolmaster, but since this is partly sci-fi and had potential to be ratehr dark, I watched first ep. It was much better than I expected (but I had low expectations XD ). I loved the personal drama, it really shows those girls as real people. Also their family/boyfriend had very realistic reactions. The air/ground battle was both funny and awesome. It was cool how they used their idol accessory to fight the cops. XD I wonder what those Kiraras are. AKB0048 made it seem as fi they were something important. This might the the very first music band focused anime I like. 5/5 |
 |
| Two of my favourite animes Macross and IM@S in one. This is gonna be a hell of a ride with kawamori at the helm |
| The songs is from the real AKB48 obviously it woul turn out something good with the music, the concept turn to be really good. The story seem to be interesting, but where have I seen something simliar? I do wonder. What's wrong with entertaiment? I don't think I could live without it rofl. :) Yeah they put the life by singing and trying to take back what they love, in the end they probably will success. 8/10 not the best from me but still awesome rating :) |

| I play, the haters lose. |
| Oh my god Kawamori what have you done... Then again, such a show couldn't have been done by anyone else. |
| Ok™ |
| To look at the idols singing and dancing is really rough and there's nothing more absurd than those idols fighting but I'm interested in this universe and our girls, so I will keep watching it for the time being. |
| Dat "Aitakatta" song! |
| Dat Aitakatta indeed... Also I hope the green haired girl from the beginning is alive somewhere... |
 |
Anime_Reaper said: I'm confused.They're idols.They sing... they pilot robots...they fight using their fists,stunguns,and lightsabers?!WTH?! They are basically trying to save the world from no music or at least that's the quick way to understand it. |
 |
| Seems very promising. I never watched Idolmaster, Macross, or K-ON but I hope the next episodes will be good. |
| When I saw the title, I thought this would be based on the manga, boy was I wrong ;) (AKB 49 Manga is much better by the way) CG is way overused during the performance and its hard not to think of this as an overly long commercial and actually take them seriously while ignoring the various logical inconsistencies and poor plot choices. What happened to girl number 4? |
| Mixed vibes of Idolm@ster and Symphogear. I dropped both early. Agree with the overuse CG during the performance and not liking the mecha design much either. I can't say I'll stick with this too long. Not hating on the show or anything, just isn't my kind of show. |
| I don't see why entertainment was banned. I need a reason... Also, what happened to the blue hair girl at the beginning? Did she die or something? Also, I am kinda enjoying it so far ^^ |
| Well, this show caught me by surprise. It's pretty much what I expected, but the setting caught me off guard. Love the background art. Kinda sci-fi. Will keep watching. |
| Another version of Lilpri, But it should go very well. |
 |
| Nice scapes, didn't like many things though and I don't really know what to expect from this, I guess we'll see in the next 2 episodes or so. |
| Will give a few more episodes. Wasn't very impressed though. |
| It was.. ok. The art style and animation are pretty good. I'm guessing the two other girls at the start died? Too bad :( |
 |
| Ohmygawsh. This show is fucking hilarious. |
 Well, I'm a little disappointed. |
| I like this anime. It drew me from the start of the episode. I cannot wait to see more of this. Nagisa father is so strict and I really dont understand the Entertainment Ban. I hope the writers delve into tbe history of the entertainment ban. |
