This is so good, Trust me it gets even better every episodes. The anime adaptation is being faitful, they didn't skip a thing. The visuals are so perfect.

Thanks for the meal


The art is sublime, damn bastards from Doga Kobo, they really have put all their soul and budget into it to bring that quality of Sakuga in the animation of Op and Ed of Oshi no Ko, the dedication and practically risking such a level of budget!... I hope they don't go bankrupt as a Studio over this! xD

I have great admiration for Miyako. The very different way of seeing life and what happened between the brothers is very interesting. And the eyes... they are pure wonder.
They are adapting it great💜
The Op. and the End. they are incredible.

So he will work as a supporting cast behind the scenes instead of an actor? that sounds boring as fck. Can anyone can spoil me if he will change to actor later or not.
He will, he actually will probably start his first job next episode or the one after, and he will continue to do so for almost every other arc!

Its nice that Ruby wants to be like Ai, she even goes out auditioning. Ruby does have memories from her past life still. Ruby is determined to become an idol but Aqua doesn't like that, he also visits the director for his work i think. I did find it quite sad for Ruby when she got rejected for becoming an idol, and who did it? Aqua. Ruby got scouted by some group or something but Aqua and Miyako are skeptical about it.

Aqua then goes as an business man and scouts a girl from a idol management or something like that, he then asks her questions. Miyako then says that Ruby shouldn't join the sketchy management but instead she lets Ruby join Strawberry Prod. The contract is officially signed. The director's grandma or mother opens the door for Aqua. This is what i found the funnies part of the episode, when the director is about to say something important the grandma is barging in and disturbing lmaoo, even when Aqua is about to say something important, she comes in again haha.

Aqua & Ruby go to the same school but they apply for different things. A girl walks by and then recognizes the word "Aqua", man it has been a while since they have seen each other. Arima goes to the same school as well, she was happy to see Aqua again. The disappointment in her when she heard that Aqua is joining an different department lol. What an episode.

Yeah this episode was pretty damn good. It definitely slowed down quite a bit but that's to be expected after a feature length movie.

I'm only curious about Aqua's true intentions. Kinda peeved me off the way he wouldn't let Ruby do her idol thing. I mean, I know your Mom died cause of it, but, like, bruh. 

Oh well. I really liked seeing more of Ruby. I think the way they're setting up these siblings' stories is really interesting.

Funnily enough Aqua gave me real Sirogane vibes when he was in uniform. Speaking of clothing, all the outfits in this show are magnificent.

Also that opening is a banger.

Average episode, I guess this really peaked in the 1st episode huh. Well, it was basically a movie so it can't be helped. But I think I'm not so interested and invested in the story to care about Aqua's plan and Ruby's dreams, they ended the episode so abruptly as well that it was weird. Well, it was okay nonetheless, I'm still curious to see where this is going...

Well in the start it’s used for just sorta living purposes because of course like idols, actors who aren’t very popular don’t make shit. And it stays like that for a pretty good portion of the series, although he does save up money to get a DNA test and one other thing which I won’t say cuz I can’t get spoiler tags to work lmao

I'm really happy with this episode, it shows that this show has a lot more to gift us. Even if it cant top the premiere (because its simply exceptional) it shows us how different both characters are and how differently they have continued their life after Ai's death.

After the good debut movie, this episode came as a disappointment, but I was already expecting it. The prologue is really the best part of Oshi no Ko. From now on, it's all downhill.
At least we'll get to enjoy a bit of Akane and Memcho, they will have to carry this anime, we just need to know how far they can carry it.
If you're a fanboy, please don't waste my time.

Watch more movies, please.

why did this episode feel 4x shorter than ep1? :v

Ruby is so cute and Kana as well at the end

Aqua's actions are understandable, being an idol is a problem with the low pay and crazy fans

that opening tho, the start of that song sounds like something that Attack on Titan would have lol

After that banger ep 1, it's hard to reach the same impact again with just a 20min episode, but also makes sense to start a new build-up in the story arc now. I like the introduction of contrasting Ruby against Aqua and the stars in their eyes being symbolic of their innocence. Aqua's star became dark.

When Aqua mentioned DNA testing to find his father I was wondering how he wants to get access to a testing facility when I realized that he used to be a doctor and plans to study general subjects in school. Surely he will become some kind of medical professional to get direct access to DNA testing himself, else how is he gonna do so many shady tests? Those aren't cheap either. A theory.

Good episode! I appreciate Aqua being so protective over Ruby. With the trauma these poor kids went through its totally understandable. I'm happy Ruby at least gets to work under her family now :)

Although I am wondering how nobody's been suspicious yet about the kids relationship to Ai since they all share the same last name and Ruby's growing up to look just like her. Is nobody in the universe gonna question why they don't have the same name as their fake mom? I'll wait and see if it'll get explored or if I just have to ignore it for story sake!
This detail will be mentioned in season 2 if it’ll ever get adapted. Although I’ll just leave the spoiler

Having the experience of an adult and thus knowing all the prostitution that is the business idol entertainment in Japan and because of this not wanting your naive younger sister to get involved in that is being and edge lord?
Wanting to find the person responsible for both yours and your mother murder makes you an edge lord?

I find it hard to agree, at least for now.
I can be a pain in the a about everything, but even me is able to recognize a shows merits. There's a group here that is being very irrational.

So what was the point of the reincarnation? The Aqua is a totally different person from the doctor. Why would the girl twin need to audition when she literally the child of the producers? Bad plot, botted votes

Maybe she wants to make a name of her own? I mean look its not as good as episode one but it was still pretty good

El opening es por lejos de los mejores que he escuchado, es demasiado bueno. 
Dejando de lado el opening y ya centrándose en los personajes, hablemos de Kanna… Iré directo al punto, la odio. Es el personaje que más odio de todo Oshi no Ko (claramente sin contar al acosador que mató a Ai) y si soy sincero no estoy muy seguro por qué, solo se que desde que apenas empezaba leyendo el manga ya la odiaba, no se si alguien comparta esta opinión.
Dejando por el lado a Kanna, gran capítulo.

The opening is by far one of the best I've heard, it's too good.
Leaving aside the opening and already focusing on the characters, let's talk about Kanna... I'll go straight to the point, I hate her. She is the character I hate the most in all of Oshi no Ko (clearly not counting the stalker who killed Ai) and if I'm honest I'm not really sure why, I just know that since I just started reading the manga I already hated her. Does anyone share this opinion?
Leaving Kanna aside, great chapter.
