* An original anime based on an idea by Kawamori Shouji and inspired by the all-female idol group AKB48.

During an age when public entertainment was outlawed, an idol group holds guerrilla
concerts without any concern for dangers.

In the beginning of the 21st century, a world war broke out amongst mankind. In the aftermath
of the war started by humanity itself, the earth's ecosystem was irrecoverably affected, and it
had no choice but to escape the now devastated earth to live in space. A new era began with the
Star Calendar 0000. Shortly afterwards entertainment was prohibited by law and the sacred place for
otaku, Akihabara, became the public entertainment's absolute area of defense and the only place to
perform such activities. In Star Calendar 0048 once more a group was formed in the hope to resume the
legacy of the legendary idol act AKB48, which continued to shine even during the earth's downfall.
With the law in place they were deemed as an illegal act and unable to hold official live events.
This is when the group's concept changed. Instead of the idols you can meet they became the idols
who come to meet you. Branded as terrorists by authorities they didn't give up and decided to take
up arms to protect the stage they stand on, the fans who cheer for them and the citizens who are
deprived of entertainment.

This is the tale of those girls who succeeded the famous name and fight for the freedom of
entertainment. Their name is... AKB0048.
