After a week of solid coding, I’m proud to present to you AKBRanker 2.0. Enough of the quick details about what I used to make the site are in the about dialog but I don’t really go into detail about its inner workings since I know most people would probably find it boring. I’ll cover those issues in an actual post since some of the nitty gritty I had to cover up is pretty lulzworthy and just shows how well HTML, CSS, XML, jQuery, and AJAX work together.
Either way, please check out the Ranker! It’s only been up for a few hours and I’ve got 80 visitors :D
On a supportive note, I’d just like to thank the people who helped me though the last week through feedback and kind words of encouragement. Wendy, jujumii_, xyish, mich and the techies over at STAGE48, mintii, luchie_hm, ηя » bunnysmash! εїз and anyone else who previewed it and gave me something to change :D. If I’m forgetting you, you can punch me in the face later ;D.
Enjoy the ranker everyone! I’ll try and work on the image generator after I get some quality sleep. Also, expect an update once the 17th single senbatsu results come in ;D




I’m only writing this because 140 characters isn’t enough to say everything I need to. This is going to be quick and dirty because I don’t really want to spend any more time on this. I’m not saying I’m an expert on this topic but from my angle, this is what I’m seeing.
Members attending has not been announced.
There hasn’t been any e-mail confirmation or a website update for her appearance unlike AKB48.
Though, my money’s on AKB fans since they’ll actually be performing.
They’re getting their idols on their continent. What’s there to complain about? They can’t boast to the H!P fans since they got MM last year so it’s an even playing field.
We got our MM fill last year and a kick ass party held by the team behind Hello!Ranking so really, what’s there to say?
People can only use attendance as something to talk about after the fact and only in these two situations. H!P fans can rub it in AKB fans faces that H!P’s attendance was better IF AND ONLY IF attendance is better. It wouldn’t be wise to bring it up if AKB’s attendance was higher. AKB fans can rub it in H!P fans faces in that situation. We’re still 3 months away from July and even after all of it, it doesn’t really matter. What matters most is that the fans that got to see them at AX did.
(Not including subgroups) AKB48 has a song that was used as an anime theme. MM does not. Therefore, AKB has a hairline more relevance to anime than MM does.
And I’m spent.
