* AlternateCharacterInterpretation: One popular theory is that instead of a freedom fighting group, ''[=AKB0048=]'' is actually unknowingly trying to awaken an EldritchAbomination. The DGTO and DES forces are merely {{Well Intentioned Extremist}}s taking measures to prevent said abomination from awakening.

Two years after the episode aired, a man would attempt to murder members of ''[=AKB0048=]'' with a hacksaw during a fan meeting -- though he claimed not to be a fan, and was instead angry that made more money than him.

* NarmCharm: The premise. In a time of government tyranny, the galaxy's only hope for freedom is...a group of manufactured pop starlets who are (in the real world) driven by mass commercialism and stifled by overbearing managerial edicts and fan demands that prevent them from ''dating''. The whole thing reeks of TheManIsStickingItToTheMan and blatant fan-pandering about how [=AKB48=] fans are ''literally'' heroes fighting a corrupt system by supporting an "underground" idol group (which brings in billions of Yen annually). It's ''so'' clueless about its faux-revolutionary message and it plays everything ''so'' seriously that it swings right around to being endearing and charming again.

* ValuesDissonance: Episode six tells us that if a fan sends you violent death threats because they don't like the job you're doing as a professional entertainer, they ''really'' just want to make the act better and you should take their advice to heart. Contrast that with American media, where such people will ''always'' be portrayed as unhinged, Mark David Chapman-esque nutjobs who have to be tracked down before they fly off the handle and kill somebody (the fact that in the same episode, said fan is about to make good on that threat if not for someone intervening at the last minute further supports this.) In fact, two years after that episode, somebody ''did'' try to murder members of [=AKB48=] with a hacksaw at a fan meeting, which resulted in a sweeping revamp of venue security and one of the injured singers left (or was forced to leave) since she was psychologically incapable of attending further meet-n-greets.
