My thoughts:
Senbatsu:
- Ono Haruka and Hiramatsu Kanako have finally made it and they are on the cover as well. They're not exactly my favs, but they deserve the chance to promote themselves.
- No Ishida Anna = disappoint.
- Kaneko Shiori has her moments... but Hara Minami as a Team E representative is a strange choice. I want my Madoka, Shibata or ErikaSMASH. At least I spotted Shibata in one of the other PV previews, so that's a start.
Covers:
- Meh. I don't really care for the 'busy' mix of pics and drawings. No class, no unity.
- Rena's outfit looks too bland, color-wise. If you look at the three covers from a distance, type B doesn't stand out at all.
- Why is Yuria on two types? Who made her president.
- From an objective point of view, as far as that's possible, Type C (Akane) is by far the best cover.
Songs:
- Okidoki: I can see myself rocking out to this, lol. Should be cool during concerts. PV is ok-ish. Nothing special, but should be fun to watch.
- Bazuka: Anna, Shibata, Matsurina and Pajama Jurina = now we're talking! Too bad the song itself it completely forgettable.
- Hoho no positive thinking: Hmmm... difficult. Not that big on the outfits. PV setting is sorta nice. Song is a bit better than Bazuka. This could work, need to see the rest of it.
Conclusion:
- Not nearly as good as Paleo, in any aspect.
- Not bad either, it follows the trend of 1234/Banzai type songs
- The song and PV for Okidoki seems pretty cool, so I guess it's a fine release
