HIGASHINO, MY GOATTTT!!! MAAANNN I don't know how they manage to pack so much hype and tension into every single episode. IT WAS SO GOOD I COULD DIEEEE... Every minute of this anime is a fragnance of AKB48's beauty.

This episode mainly focuses on Makoto's character development, by the way. It was such a nice story for her.

BTW, BACK TO IT! QUALITY CHECK!!!

Okay, so the animation and everything else were fire. The concert scenes still use their usual 3D animation, but YEPP, THEY USED "HEAVY ROTATION" IN THIS ONE, SO IT WAS ABSOLUTELY FIRE!!! Yup, nothing really improved, but nothing dropped either. The studio maintained a very consistent level of quality throughout, and I appreciate that a lot. FINAL SCORE 8.7/10 + NO SKIP RECOMMENDED
