The Pointless *48 Musings/Rants Thread

Pav's doing a nice job of posting topics in this forum.

...granted so far no one seems to care but still...


So.... I started watching AKB0048. I'm 6 episodes in and it's just kinda whatever. It seems like maybe something will happen later on, but I guess you have to be hardcore AKB fan for it to appeal.

Haha yeah well I get a tiny little bit more reaction than I used to. I shall persevere. I mean, people are reading them, judging by the view counts and thanks I get.

I loved AKB0048, though it sure did start hecka slow. But so many strong, powerful moments. Of course it's all terribly cliche but well.. you know. I like having songs I know and love playing in the background, like AKB Sanjou or Pioneer ..

I head they're getting a second season but aren't two of the VO's graduating?

[Pavlova]

The second season is already finished.

[DSQueenie]

My bad! So I guess they haven't announced any more?

[Pavlova]

No, they haven't, to my great despair, and I think the staff was pretty clear about how it was the end for 0048, what with 3 of the seiyuu leaving and all.

Kinda reminds me of the time I bought bootleg copies of Majisuka Gakuen 1 and 2 for the specific purpose of trying to get into the "AKB phenomenon" since the music didn't appeal to me, I thought maybe the girls themselves will.

End result is that I had a bit more appreciation of the girls. I still haven't gotten into the AKB bandwagon (and at this rate, probably never truly will) but at least I'm a bit more open to seeing them.

[Pavlova]

Majisuka really did a huge part for me to get to know more different girls and having more of an emotional connection with them.

[erilaz]

Majisuka was good for that, and the DOCUMENTARY of AKB48 films have been good for that, too.


I finally got around to watching Acchan's final Music Station appearance as a member of AKB48. Green Day were on the same episode, and looking at them I couldn't help but think things like "Do you guys have any idea how lucky you are to share a stage with AKB48 on this momentous occasion?!" Of course Green Day are big stars in their own right, but I still tend to think of them as those teenage kids I used to see playing near the bottom of the bill at 924 Gilman Street back in '89.

[Pavlova]

Oh man I haven't seen that. Is it subbed somewhere?

And yeah man the DOCUMENTARIES. ARE. SO. GREAT. I gained immense respect for these girls after watching them. I can't wait to be able to watch the last one..
