Makes ME nostalgic for AKB0048.
Surely I can't be the only one who watched that...
I member! I loved that show. Especially the songs (no duh, as they were actual irl akb songs). Although I also seem to remember the bad parts more though, like for example, that het girl who clogged up the screentime with her het story, and also the fact that the irl idols popularity at the time dictated who gets to be focused on in the anime.
But one good part I vividly remember was in S2 with that one girl who was soo tryhard in becoming the Centre Nova(?) she hogged 95% of the screentime throughout the season, but when she actually got into the Centre zone-thing, she can't go any further because she wasn't worthy. That part was cathartic as hell. It was the best middle-finger to a spotlight-hogging character I have ever seen, and it was glorious.
