Basically, in a world where entertainment is strictly forbidden and partaking in any kind of activity like idol concerts, especially idol concerts, can put you in deadly danger, AKB0048, a group of [...]

Which I pronounce as “A-K-B double-oh forty-eight”. AKB48, as I understand it, is A Big Thing. While I find myself immune to the snares of mainstream Japanese pop, they seem big enough to have warranted an anime dedicated entirely to … Continue reading →
