| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ----------------------------------------  Lol funny episode. Dat apron and pose with the fod. Chieri sure is popular. The song was alright and had some good rhythm to it. Nice performances this episode. |

| SONG INSERT Beginner Shoujotachi Yo Funny ep. Their attempt at variety is so awkwardly funny XD Makoto break down on the bungee as expected XD She remind me of the real Minegishi Minami when she has to do the bungee segment on Shuukan AKB too. Embarrassing make up is such light punishment for losing the dodgeball game tho. AKB girl actually had to eat bug sushis or cooked lizard when they lost :P The design was too lazy too compare to the real punishment lol  Anyway funny reference about Yuko climbing people XD Expecting more rivalry this season.NEW MEMBERS |

| hopefully this show updates it's title to the mimori show from now on, this was literally all mimori |
 |
| I don't know, is 9th suppose to be good or bad? |
 |
| I can't tell if Chieri is happy she ranked, or pissed she didn't rank higher. (I'm assuming it's the first, but with her character, it's kind of hard to tell). Really liked the new OP, but didn't care for the new ED as much. Not sure how I feel about the new members to be honest. Where's their colourful hair? |

| The episode had its funny moments. All that TV stuff was pretty enjoyable to watch. Also I wonder who else will be ranked in the 10. Well, looking forward to next episode. |
 |
| Nice episode, though the new op and ed are missing something. The Ed is okay I guess, but the Op is too generic for me, it misses the OOMPH the old one had. Highlights this time around: Grumpy being cute (Crying girls ARE a turn on XD) Yuka with her hair down <3 Sonata's election poster (WHERE?! GIEF! NAO!!!) (Hightlight in this thread: akbfan's pic has my Maadar beeping <3) |
| 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 |
| I can't wait to see Paruru on screen lol |
 |
| Chieri..Chieri...Chieri... Why so much Chieri... I am tired of her soon.. and hope Nagisa stop looking so sad ALL THE TIME. either way want Nagisa as center nova, and more nagisa scene and ABOUT her. Still AKB0048 is a good anime! Looking forwards to the next episode! ;) |

Stop pushing your expectations on the show and just watch the damn thing for what it is. Or just drop it and move on. Um u maybe should continue to read what I wrote :o ''Still AKB0048 is a good anime! Looking forwards to the next episode! ;)'' instead of reading just half of it lol. never said it was bad, and I think ppls have expectation and it's normal, don't really means it's a bad thing :o And including; I am writing because what I think of THIS episode. and who are u to decide if I should drop or not lol. u are weird. I don't want some argument just because I wrote what of my mind. Please show some respect, not that I mean anything bad of this anime. Thank you. |
| Fun episode overall :) Congrats to Chieri on being in top 10, I wonder if any other KKS made it but that's a very low chance. Hoping Yuko gets the number 1 position (which is highly possible). Others I know for sure are top ten would be Takamina, Mayu, Yukirin, Sae, Kojiharu & they may include the other successors that were announced this season as new characters like Kita Rei was :) They included interesting characters like Oota Aika, Mocchi, shii chan, Paruru :) |
 |
| Fun episode. I think it's already obvious that Chieri's popularity skyrocketed and that his dad is secretly sponsoring her for the sake of his artificial kirara project. Poor Makoto. Getting all ashame and extremely scared of that bungee job. I guess her funny personality came from her home planet where comedy is entertainment. Whao! New successors!? I'm surprise their adding more characters now. Mimori is getting more gorgeous as her spotlight is on her. Looking forward for the next episode. |
| Waiting for the fanservice haters to join the thread, that aside, another great episode. It really showed what it's about to be an idol. Personally I would prefer concerts and action, but that's just me. |
 |
| waa i hope this time this season gets at least 24 episodes. |
 |
| Significantly better than last episode. But that's probably because Nagisa got a large amount of screen time. |

| Let's hope Nagisa can catch up somehow in the next episode. But honestly, I feel like she's lacking even more presence than the first season.... |
| Yay, Chieri's getting a lot of screen time and in-anime popularity. I really like this season so far. And it also looks like something bad will happen to her eventually. This can get really good. |
 |
| The new OP is nowhere near as good as Kibou ni Tsuite but it's nice. Chieri ranking is great but I'm kinda hoping Nagisa sneaks in above her for the real thing :') Great to see a lot of Mimori in this episode, too. |
| AKB is getting better and better! I simply must know if the artwork is by Haruhiko Mikimoto from Macross fame? The style, poses (from Chieri), and look in this episode are very much trademarks of his art style. Chieri's dad(?) even resembles it. Samples of his artwork. Google |

| Tha fanservice was a little obnoxious in this episode, but otherwise not bad. I really enjoyed it. Pretty damn awesome how Chieri got ninth, can't wait to see the rest of the polls. |

I'm sure the extra service would be confined only within this episode, as we wonder what would come next. @radle: Risa Ebata did the character design. |
| I play, the haters lose. |
| That makes sense... I'm not much of a fan for Kasai Tomomi and neither Mimori lol |

I didn't really see it as fanservice, more like they're fleshing out Mimori's character She remind me of Kasai Tomomi, who's known for being naturally sexy. I think they compared her to Kasai in the first season too I thought the whole thing was hilarious lol :P Mimori is fanservice herself. lol |

| Dat Mimori. Best girl! Giggity. |
 |
| The OP shows are new batch of successors. I wonder what happened to them during the first season? I'm hoping for Nagisa to shine someday. I want her to succeed Acchan. Go Nagisa! |
| so this time the understudy go deep into the reality show lol.. i was surprised in the cooking segment, when mimori show off her "pudding" lol. didn't see that coming... i think there are some plot behind chieri's father on collecting the kirara light.. btw the OP and ED is not bad either lol |

| New OP and ED are awesome! Love the ED especially. Great episode with so much drama, it reminds me why I equally like the times where they don't sing in concerts as well. |
| Damn I really don't like the way the General Election is causing all these tension between the girls, especially with Nagisa and Chieri. And Chieri is already drifting away from all the other understudies with her newfound popularity =/. Lmao at all those recordings in the beginning. Couldn't stop laughing at that bungee jumping part. And I am liking the 'sexyyyyy' that Mimori is bringing. |
 |
| Great episode, I love the parts with a more serious tone, although the other parts are enjoyable as well. I want to know what the other results are, but we may never get to see them. |
I almost never read discussions after I made my post, if you want to reply PM me or post on my profile page. |
| (rewatching) Loved seeing Makoto wimping out on the bungee jump. Mimori dodgeball! Now on pay-per-view! I always thought it would have been nice if they had Nagisa make Chieri's poster and Chieri make Nagisa's poster... didn't happen though. Edit 2014-05-19, 3rd time watching: Kitahara Rie 9th... she isn't even in this anime, how is she 10th? |

| Those variety shows were hilarious, especially the cooking one. Those jelly breasts just came out of nowhere and I lost it. Mimori is a hoot. Yuuko is always a bundle of fun too, hopping onto Chieri like that. If Chieri is 9th, I wonder if there's an off chance that one of the other understudies is 1st through 8th. |
 |
| More of a slow episode with some fun and giggles :3 Some nice service as well! That ending sure was nice so let's see what's next. |
 |
| Chiery has been chosen already, wow that's nice for her. Nagisa as an MC needs to pull up. I also liked the TV show game, I'm glad Mimori's team won. That punishment to Kanata's team was hilarious. |
