I like how AKB0048 incorporates elements of the actual inner workings of AKB48 into the series, such as the Center position, general elections, and official group activities outside of concert performances (handshake events, photoshoots, television shows, and so on). This is on top of the more obvious stuff like succession of members and graduation.

And the way the idol side of the series is balanced with the sci-fi side is quite impressive, with neither one feeling like it's been tacked on to the other.

I've just begun the second half of the series, and it's as good as I remembered it so far.

I really like the opening theme song to the first season of AKB0048, and it took me this long to finally see the actual music video for it!

It's of course performed by NO NAME, the AKB48 sub-unit assembled specifically for the anime series, made up of the members who play the main characters in the show. I think my favorite little touch in the video is how each girl's hairstyle matches the character she plays in the anime.

I had forgotten that AKB0048 used several pre-existing AKB48 songs in the show for the concerts in the episodes.

I did remember that all of the main cast of the idol candidates were played by actual then-current members of AKB48 or one of its sister groups.

I also remembered the thing I like most about the character designs is that they use little hearts for the hair and eye highlights.

Here are the next two picks from my anime shelf to watch:

First up, I'm in the mood for something with idols (maybe it's my nightly Umamusume sessions), so it's time for a rewatch of AKB0048, the official anime project for AKB48. The sub-unit NO NAME was created just for the show! This is a series which is far better than it ever needed to be, and I suspect it's because of Shoji Kawamori's involvement. That puts Escaflowne and Macross in the show's pedigree, after all. 

Next, and this should be no surprise, is a rewatch of A Certain Scientific Railgun T to cap off my six month or so journey through the Raildex. After the warp speed chaos of Index III, this will be a welcome return to a series with a fully formed story and characters. And of course, one of my overall favorite anime characters, Mikoto Misaka, is back in the spotlight.
