Episode 48: AKB0048 (Sing for the Universe!)

In today's episode, Otaku Nate, Kat and Jeremy Kaufman break out the Happi Coats and Glowsticks as they look at the sci-fi/action/comedy vehicle for one of the hottest idol acts of the 2010s: AKB0048! What sounds like it's going to be a cheezy vanity project for an idol group turns out to be a show that is so much more than the sum of its parts! There's a lot of discussion about AKB48 and Idol culture, Macross, and a certain OTHER Magical Sci-fi Idol show that came out in 2012. It's an off-the-rails episode you won't want to miss!
