"Oshi no Ko"

In the entertainment world, celebrities often show exaggerated versions of themselves to the public, concealing their true thoughts and struggles beneath elaborate lies. Fans buy into these fabrications, showering their idols with undying love and support, until something breaks the illusion. Sixteen-year-old rising star Ai Hoshino of pop idol group B Komachi has the world captivated; however, when she announces a hiatus due to health concerns, the news causes many to become worried.

As a huge fan of Ai, gynecologist Gorou Amemiya cheers her on from his countryside medical practice, wishing he could meet her in person one day. His wish comes true when Ai shows up at his hospital—not sick, but pregnant with twins! While the doctor promises Ai to safely deliver her children, he wonders if this encounter with the idol will forever change the nature of his relationship with her.

The concept itself I found sensational, and the development keeps pace

Ep01 left a big impression on me, I was hyped for days after seeing it. Seriously, watch it, you'll like it

It's a very emotional anime, you realize that the feeling is true

There is this advantage to reincarnating, in other anime this was used wrong, but here it is excellent. The characters have a life of their own, they captivate you, it's a good show

And it shows a lot of information about showbiz, the artists' personal lives...

The detail of focusing on the eye, I thought it was an excellent script feature, it's a little obvious, but ... it still makes everything even better

I recommend

Mixed Feelings

Freshly right after finishing the last episode - I'll be honest, I don't know how to feel. So let's analyze each aspect.

1. Plot: This is the main point that unsettles me. On one hand, we have a rather toxic entertainment industry and fandoms mixed with the regular lives of rising stars. But on the other hand, there's this thriller-kind-of-feeling, mystical moment of being reborn and remembering past lives. It might seem thrilling, but I felt lost while binge-watching the show.

2. Art: This is a straight masterpiece! No comments needed: the colors, the animation, the fluidity - everything is on point. 10/10

3. Music: I feel ... like this is standard for such kinds of shows, so the OST also had no misses.

4. Characters: This is another aspect that gave me mixed feelings. It felt like in order to show the depth of the characters, anime creators had to add traumatic pasts to each of them: as if you hadn't lived through suffering, you are not an interesting person to observe. While surely it might be true to some extent, in this particular case it's felt far from the truth, artificial even. Not every character needs tragedy to develop - that is solely my opinion.

Basically, to get the gist of it I surely have to watch the second season. The problem is that I don't want to proceed with shows, that weren't at least 50% successful to lead me to the point.

Would I recommend watching it? Probably yes.
Will I watch the second season? Yes, I need to find the answers
Was I satisfied? Surely no

The show has potential to become good show but it's don' have nothing has to discuss expect fighting over ships

Another good show spoiled because of ships amd lack of direction

Kana is very annoying and unlikable. I don't care about the struggles she went through, that's still no excuse to behave like a pretentious asshole and try to have your way all the time.

But you know what's worse than an annoying character? A series where most, if not ALL of the cast are as interesting as watching paint dry. Aqua and Ruby are extremely boring and none of them ... have any interesting thing going on for them.
