| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Damn it, poor Yuuko-san ;.; but whoa, startling revelation huh? Well, Cheri's father sure knew something about what was going on. Another good episode and seems like business really picked up now. I'm still wondering what DES is up to but I enjoyed the latest episode especially in the latter half with the music and fighting. Holy shit, they also went to another world :o |

| >Kiraras in charge of not being Vajra spawned soul eaters sasuga kawamori. fucking creepy The "shit got real" phase continues on maximum level of greatness from last ep. |
| How come Mari Okada knew when she wrote the screenplay that in real life Miichan would also do something bad for the name of AKB and so she would make big sacrifice to redeem herself ? She knows AKB too well and she wrote screenplay of AKB0048 with so much insight and foresight !!! |
| 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. |
 They're watching us...all this time |
| I actually like this episode, can't wait for next episode. |
Nothing ventured, nothing gained (Girls und Panzer der Film ) / from Nishizumi Miho |
| So, for what i understood from raw version, nagisa wants to open the portal and become center nova in order to save yuuko... Seems interesting :D Mii chan fighting was something i wasnt expecting to see... I expected her run away and join DES or something loool Waiting for subs to understand major revelations : ) |
| sigh.. |

Scripts are finalized weeks before episodes come on air after all |
| Mind = blown. Iwata Karen (Nagisa) mentioned that the last recording happened on 20 February. Assuming that is episode 26, the recording of this episode (22) would have happened about a week before the Mii-chan incident. Mii-chan's last line in this episode might be a coincidence, but there might actually have been enough time for Okada Mari to insert that last line to resonate with current events. The timing was just right for a quick rewrite. |

 I'm starting to think this might really be Kawamori trolling lmao~  |
akbfan said: I'm starting to think this might really be Kawamori trolling lmao~ Didn't dance-sensei make a comment about how he'd always worried that Mii-chan would have bad taste in men as well? Too weird. But anyways, I'm excited about Nagisa's claim that she wants to become centre nova (finally). Insert song was really well placed, as usual. Last few eps are going to be awesome. I'm completely pumped, but also very sad that things are coming to a close. |
| Great episode. For a second there. I thought Miichan would be a goner for sure. Nagisa is now even more determine to be Center Nova to save Yuuko and the others The question is, do they really need saving? |
| Too slow paced compared to the last episode. Sure wasn't expecting any of it, but I still loved it. So Yuuko became a center nova and disappeared all at the same time, record much? lol. So now Nagisa is focused on becoming Center Nova so that she can save Yuuko, that's how much she idolizes her. And like the choreographer said, do they even want to be saved??!! I would think that the world where the Center Nova disappear to is a much better place than the one they currently live in, but who knows. And well I always knew Miichan wasn't a bad person and it was all in good intentions. SO I am happy that it worked out in the end. The girls helping her, and Mii-chan's possibility of becoming an AKB0048 member again, or understudy like she said. BUT ANYWAYS again, why, there is only 3 episodes left now...or 4...forgot. Anyways so we'll be left in a big cliffhanger again. :/ :/ I can see it. Another 13 episode season. Well I sure hope that's not the case. I hope that is a 24 episode season this time. If there is any 3rd season at all. Gaah, i always get ahead of myself. Anyways good series. I love it! |

| Its gonna be hell waiting for the next episode. |

Madcat6204 said: Magito said: Nagisa is now even more determine to be Center Nova to save Yuuko and the others The question is, do they really need saving? I think Yuuko, at least, if she's in her right mind, will want to come back. She has things to do here, promises to keep, responsibilities to uphold, people who need her. She's too determined a girl to run away from that. If the opportunity arises, I think she will want to come back. The others... I'm not so sure about. Acchan sounded like she was going where she wanted to go when she disappeared. Odds are most if not all of the others are the same. They have little reason to return. Many of them would be significantly displaced in time if they did come back. Perhaps they might be convinced to come to help save 0048 in its moment of need, but I do not believe they would want to return for good. I agree. I also have this feeling that in order to be able to take Yuuko back home with them, they are going to end up having to leave someone else there to take her place, for whatever reason. and if that does happen, i'm thinking that Takamina will probably decide to be the one that stays behind, thinking it's her job as captain to save the others, thus also enabling Kanata to be able to succeed her as the next Takahashi Minami. Yay for the ultimate personal sacrifice for the protection of friendship, and the right to entertain!!!!! |
| Mind = Blown Epic episode indeed. Also, Chieri's Dad needs a steel-capped boot right in the ouchies. When I first read the title "blue betrayal" I first thought of Chieri or Makoto (the latter not so much). Chieri might have called her dad to tell him he's the worst person alive, who in turn traced the call and sent his apprentice, Darth Maul after them... wait, wrong Universe. Anyways, doubletroll for Miichan. First when she escaped I was sure she would join the fight and Go down gloriously!. Then she went in front of the Flying get and I was ARGH HOW COULD YOU. Then she hit the DES troops and started playing BLUE ROSE and I was like "That's my Mii! Show them your moves!" Glad she was saved in the end. And I hope she gets a shot at CHieri's dad. Anyways, the next week will be a long one =( PS: BLUE ROSE isn't really Miichan's song, but I can't really think of one of her Unit songs (or even no3b songs) that would fit, because the fighting scene needed a certain amount of IMPACT, which BLUE ROSE provided. |
| 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 |
| This episode was great, I never thought things would get this serious. But the story is what makes this show imo. They're doing a great job even if their budget is kinda low. I wonder if they went to a strange planet or to the other world. It sucks waiting for more, this is reaching its climax! |
I almost never read discussions after I made my post, if you want to reply PM me or post on my profile page. |
| LOL it would be much coincidence if the other world where they are now was the world where center novaes are too xD Nagisa would be center novae to open the portal for akibastar xD |
| sigh.. |
| Getting so interesting but with only a few episodes left! The lines with Miichan were really weird - either a huge coincidence or last-minute editing. I'm hoping for another season but after Kuumin and Nakayan's graduations I'm wondering whether there actually will be. |
Mumble200 said: I can't help but feel Nagisa hasn't done anything of significance throughout the series, she's just out shone by the others and is on the side line. I hope she finally does everything she said she would, she's like the best character. She did a lot in ss1. So I though in ss2, it's time for Chieri. |
akbfan said: When she said she had to go back to being a Kenkyusei (intern) to redo the work, it was such a stab at the real-life Miichan that I could not believe it was a huge coincidence... what foretelling power Mari has... Even the song "Blue Rose" is about mistake made because of impulsive love/lust !symbv said: I chalk that one up to one huge coincident lol.......How come Mari Okada knew when she wrote the screenplay that in real life Miichan would also do something bad for the name of AKB and so she would make big sacrifice to redeem herself ? She knows AKB too well and she wrote screenplay of AKB0048 with so much insight and foresight !!! I'm sure Okada don't know the girls' private lives that much to write that ^^; |

| there is something worrying me... why they changed nagisa's father to another departament? |
| sigh.. |
| Great redemption episode for Mii-chan. |
[center] |
| Everyone's minds is constantly getting blown. XD |
 |
| Next-Gen Miichan = Milia Jenius + Shaku + Max's glasses NOW AWAITING NO3B0048! |
| I play, the haters lose. |
| My body wasn't ready for another epic episode. |
| Loved it when Mii-chan turned around and started firing...at DES xD And that monochrome gun-point scene stop my breath. What came after was even better *teary* |
| Didn't expect Kanata to be so sour in this episode. Anyway, I'm looking forward to Nagisa's quest to becoming Center Nova. I really hope she does it and saves everyone. Moreover, getting a chance to see the otherworld is pretty damn interesting opportunity. Great ep! |
| stage 23 seems interesting http://akb0048.jp/story/ |
| sigh.. |

| I play, the haters lose. |
| Too bad about the few low budget CGI dance scenes which kind of ruin it. Even so it is almost tempting me to import as the story and emotional impact are so great. In the spirit or Macross' fighting idols it is wonderful stuff and the connections to real world AKB0048 are fun, good songs. |
| oh the irony miichan. i feel like this episode will redeem her even more in real life. not that she really had anything to apologize for imo. idolfarming is a messsssedd up world |
| Signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the Site & Forum Guidelines. |
| The first part was only bla bla boa about all girls worring about Yuuko and that was boring. The interesting part was Mi chan and the attack. And then Takamina helping her, that was a sorprise for me. |
| Holy shit Mii-chan. That was amazing. Things have gotten really gloomy and intense after what happened to Akibastar. |
 |
| FINALLY!! Nagisa is acting like the main character again! Also, Mii-chan, wasn't really expecting her to -almost- sacrifice herself to the group. Go Mii-chan!! |
| (rewatching) Mii-chan's mecha battle had some nice Gundam Seed vibes... like she was seeing the future. About Akibaster... they really don't have a military other than 0048? What kind of society would let little girls go to war for them? |
  |
| They're doing the same thing that happened with 3DPD Mii-chan in 2D form, aren't they? After "betraying" her team she was accepted as an understudy again etc. I like 2D Mii-chan better because she's not unbearable and gachapin. |
| 3rd time watching I always look forward to Mii-chan's battle here. Come on Satelight! Give me an anime that is all that. |
