AKB48 Primer
AKB48 History Packages
I'm currently working on uploading little packages (i.e. zip files) of AKB48 content in chronological order for people to download. This will include theatre stages, music videos, and concerts! Each package will also come with a read-me file with more information.
I am not including variety shows, but have indicated which episodes of some popular shows accompany each period and provided links with english subtitles.
Content will not be in the highest quality available because of lack of availability and/or hard drive space so if you want better quality, try aidoru online or eizo instead.

Accompany this with AKB 0ji 59fun! and episodes 1-16 of AKBINGO!
Warning! These are old shows and you may encounter sexism, racism, transphobia, homophobia, fatphobia, sexual harassment, and sexualisation of minors. In my opinion, episodes from 2008 are particularly bad and the subbing team up to episode 65 also makes some horrible comments about the members and some guests that you may wish to skip ahead.
