"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.

At first glance, Oshi no Ko may seem like just another Idol anime. And in a way, it kind of is. But buried under the candy-coating of pretty colors and good sound design, lies the potential for something truly great. The keyword here is, of course, potential.

While my rating for this season may be a 9, I can see a future where the energy this first season carried is lost completely in future installments. This season had everything; Drama, comedy, good music, eye candy, you name it. Even though the rest of the episodes beyond the first are tonally night and day, there is still ... the sense that the rollercoaster of emotions is far from over.

In essence, you won't have lost anything by watching S1 of Oshi no Ko. The characters are fun, the overarching plot is interesting, and it's a take on Idol anime that is unique enough to warrant a chance, at least. I can only hope it keeps this energy up in future installments.

Mixed Feelings

I was asked to watch this anime as soon as possible because many of my friends kept urging me, even though I was avoiding it for some reason—I’m not sure why. One day, I finally started it, and I was surprised to see that the first episode was about 1.5 hours long. I was amazed! I enjoyed that episode enough to rate it a 9 or even a 10. But as I continued watching, I realized the major suspense revolved around finding a particular character, and I expected to see much more development around this although I understand how these things usually unfold, but I ... had hoped for more focus on it. After finishing the anime, I decided to give it a 7/10 because, overall, the rest of the series didn’t quite live up to the intensity of the first episode. I didn’t feel as engaged or curious about what would happen next. That’s just my experience, though—others might feel differently. It’s definitely a good anime and worth binge-watching!

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.
