AKB0048

This anime brand spanking new!! In fact as you read this, the 9th episode is being aired in Japan so think of this as your hip and trendy anime review!

The concept behind AKB0048 is worth more than the plot. If you know the group AKB48 then you can probably get the gist of things but for those of you who don't.... Well you have some catching up to do. Basically AKB48 is the biggest icon in thee Japanese organisation, they have 64 members split into four teams and hold the Guinness World record for that! They have their own theatre where AKB48 performances are held everyday. New members are admitted as 'trainees' to stand-in for busy members before becoming fully-fledged members and old members 'graduate'. Is an idol group unlike anything in Europe and are the basis for AKB0048, so I hope you understood all that!
