Episode 7: An Idol!! Me?

As I've said before, I'm not really a fan of idol content.

And rather than explain for the tenth time as to why, I'll just be upfront and say that, surprisingly, I found this to be one of the better episodes so far.

Sure, like with alot of things in Changerion, plenty of aspects to it haven't aged well. Many of the jokes and critiques it makes at the expense of the idol industry are ones that have been done plenty of times since this show first aired.

But yet this episode also features some of the better character humor seen in the show's' run so far(the screencap I chose is one of the few genuine laughs that Changerion has gotten out of me), and I felt that the development given to Akira and Akemi was actually pretty decently handled.

Yeah, the episode isn't breaking any new ground, and the monster fight at the end almost feels tacked on, but despite all that, overall, the episode was still a pretty fun sit and I felt it handled itself pretty well. Solid character interaction while only being mildly less crazy than the average episode. And really, I'm not sure what else I could even hope to ask for.
