AKBingo becomes dull with time

I've been watching AKBingo for months now, and I really like it, I think it's funny, or it was. I'm on episode 135 of the show (after it was renamed AKBingo, that is) and I'm seriously thinking about stop. It became dull and boring, the segments aren't that all entertaining anymore and a lot of members that made the show funny suddenly went M.I.A for no reason. I miss Sayaka, Sae, Mariko, Yuko and Mayuyu and the only ones present now are Takamina, Kojiharu, Miho and Mii-chan. I know all the members I like already graduated and eventually they'll stop showing up, but the way the show is trying to introduce me to so many new members in a short time spam is baffling. I can't even keep up with it and I can't even remember their names. I started to like Takajo Aki, I think she's charming in a way, but now she's gone too. Should I just stop or continue?

My top 50 AKBingo! episodes/themes guide.

Hi,

on stage48 someone asked me to do a top50 AKBingo episodes ranking. I thought it was a fun idea and created an extensive list with a short summary and preview images (top 20 only) for each episode. It's not strictly a list of best episodes and more about the best ideas (which were often shown in several episodes). So e.g. Muchaburi Dodgeball is only listed one time despite being shown in 30+ episodes.

Because of the formatting and the length of the list, I just link directly to my forum posts. I hope this list can be useful for some fans, if they're overwhelmed by the number of Bingo episodes and just want to see some highlights. While I just chose what I liked best it turned out to be a healthy mix of old and new episodes.

Top 50-41
Top 40-21
Top 20-11
Top 10-1 + Statistics

New fan here! Went back and binged the first 100 eps of AKBINGO. I have some thoughts...

Hey everyone, so I discovered AKB a few years back, through Produce48 and have been listening to a few songs here and there but never really got into the group. Until recently, when I decided to dive into the group and learn more about it. So I started watching "Sayonara Mouri-San" and wanted to watch something more so I decided to start watching AKBINGO from ep 1, so I could learn more about the group and get familiar with the older members and the golden era of AKB!

And what can I say other than I'm completely hooked on it! The episodes are very entertaining and easy to fly through given that they're all around 20 minutes. I started watching like 2 weeks ago and already watched 100 episodes ahaha

I have many thoughts and opinions about what I just watched and wanted to talk about it with someone, so this is the best place I could think off to have a discussion and talk about it, that's why I'm posting this here...

- Innapropriate comments and concepts: This is the biggest "problem" I indetified with the show so far. Also connects to what I think is the biggest problem with AKB48 in general.... the sexualization of the members. Like there are so many things that are just pervert bait and clearly made with the intent to please the creepy 40 year old incels. Like one of the reocurring concepts for some early episodes was that they brought middle age guests and the members had to "win their heart" and become their oshimen... a.k.a flirt with them. I had to skip those episodes because it was so uncomfortable to watch the girls ( many of them minors) flirting with 40 year old perverts. The underlying sexualization or hint at it with the members was something that made me feel very uncomfortable and put me off sometimes during my watch.

There is also the innapropriate comments made by the hosts from time to time that really left me baffled. For example, in one of the early episodes, there was the concept that the members were ice cream shop waiteresses and they had solve quizzes, then suddenly one of the hosts says "Megumi works as a stripper at night..." LIKE WHAAAAT?!?! How can he say something like that about one of the members???? How is a comment like this even ok to air??? Did no one think this was too much at the time?? I understand that its a show from 2008-2009, but even so it's such a rude and unneceptable remark to make... Imagine being the parent of one of the members and hear a comment like this about your daughter... wouldn't you be outraged???

- The Kami 7 popularity: A reocurring trend I saw with the episodes so far is that the show always revolves around the same members. Usually the Kami 7 plus five or six other members. There are many members that appear in the episodes but get like zero screen time, they're just in the background, they're basically the audience lol.

I'm not criticizing this decision tho! Business wise it makes sense to try to give the popularity and bring the spotlight on like 10 members instead of trying to make everyone famous and end up not making anyone stand out. Now I'm not sure if the Kami 7 got popular because of the show or if they were popular at the time and they were given the spotlight on the show because those were the members that the people wanted to see and consequently the ones that would bring higher ratings. Y'all have to let me know ahaha

Either way I also feel like their spotlight is deserved, because if they're getting it, then it is because they are the ones that were thought as having the most potential to gain popularity. Also I really like all of the Kami 7 members and can understand their appeal and charm! It's just kinda sad to see the other members sitting in the background just watching and doing nothing lol

- Itano Tomomi absence: Something that I found really weird is that despite being considered on of the Kami 7 and being really popular, Tomomi is not present in a lot of the earlier episodes?? I expected her to appear in every episode like the other really popular members... Did she have a lot of overlapping schedules?

- Akimoto Sayaka: She's a really entertaining member that really caught my attention. For the Kpop fans like me, doesn't she remind you of Girl's Generation's Sooyoung? Her bluntness and savageness mixed with her tall frame really remind me of Queen Sooyoung ahaaha

- AKBINGO airing time: Can someone explain me why did this show originally air at like 1am or 2am?? I doesn't make sense to me lol

That's it for now lol. Thank you if you came this far and read all of it. I hope I can discuss my thoughts and opinions with you guys!
