| Well, damn. Easily one of the best premieres. Spending so much time with Ai made me feel attached to her character. I didn't expect I would feel so sad when she died. I didn't expect I would cry. Ai's monologue after she was stabbed was beautiful. She was able to finally say "I love you" with all her heart, for the first time in her life. And she said it to her children. Those were her genuine feelings. It's sad that Ai's life had to end that way. The animation is fantastic, the voice acting is phenomenal and the soundtrack is great. Doga Kobo did a wonderful job. This definitely exceeded my expectations. |

| Oshi no Ko pretty much have one of the best prologue I have ever seen and seeing it again in the glorious adaptation is just incredible. Doga Kobo adapted this in the best way possible. What a ride. Also holy sht, this is now highest rated show with just 1 ep? I mean that's really impressive. |
| Wow, I've heard the first episode did justice to the manga but I was still blown away by the production. Everything was adapted perfectly. I didn't think I would cry since I already knew what was going to happen, but damn I still cried hard at the death scene. It was adapted masterfully, and of course the VAs nailed their performances. And Yoasobi did it again! I've been listening to that song ever since it got leaked two days ago nonstop for hours. One of the best premiere episodes of an anime for sure. The character designs are gorgeous too. Really looking forward to the rest of this season! It's gonna be a banger. This show would be better without Kana though. |

| Can't wait to see the op visual and ed song in eps 2 |
| Moe is Love ! Moe is Life ! |
| An intriguing prologue for sure. The scene with Ai's death had some incredible visuals. Just sad that we probably won't hear much more of Rieri who gave a fantastic performance here. The baby version of the MC gave me massive Rudeus vibes, and surely enough, they share the same VA. The score is in no way sustainable but I hope Doga Kobo can keep up some of the momentum. Revenge plot with idol industry shenanigans? I'm in. |
| I read a few chapters of the manga before the show released. I found what I read intriguing but it didn't hook me enough to binge it, so I've always wondered why people rated this series so high. ...now i understand. |
| I have no words. Absolutely none. Doga Kobo, you have not only outdone yourselves, you have hit it out of this world. The animation hit another level. Have to say as a manga reader, my God was this an experience like no other. The emotion I felt was something you just can't experience from the manga. Wow. Just, wow. |
 |
| What A Start! I have never felt this sad before while watching an anime :( Kudos to the studio for their hard work <3 |
 |
| Not gonna lie I cried when Ai said that she loves Aqua and Ruby while hugging Aqua in blood. I was really speechless and didn't expect that she would die right away in the first episode. She was really like a storm... T----T I hope whoever the bastard who got Ai pregnant as well as the mastermind behind her death can die a horrible death. The OP is nice too. Quiet lively and energetic, true to its title 'Idol'. |

| I find it weirdly reassuring to see how all the usual pretentious smart alecks (Kimurah, I'm looking at you - or for example Tenka Seiha on the Blog-side, who cast his verdict after watching a third of ep1) are trying to take the show down with their usual nonsense. We'll soon see the invasion of the shonen action extremists to downvote it without having bothered to watch it. The usual. The anime world standard reactions to a big bang. Personally, I would say that it was a wonderful adaptation of the original material. It had it all - cutesy, sadness, bitter reflections on reality paired with hopeful thoughts, elation and creepy almost-horror were woven together into a potent mix. Everyone's milage may vary, but I feel emotionally attached to the characters, and already knowing the manga, I still couldn't watch the end of the episodes with dry eyes. For me (and based on YouTube reaction videos, not only me), this scene was an unexpected emotional punch very much akin to for example Mami's death in Madoka ep3. Whoever can pull this off so well deserves kudos in my book. This may not make Oshi no Ko da greatest evah, but it makes it a damn good anime created by a lot of extremely talented people that the vast majority of viewers enjoy tremendously. Great! |
| It always crack me up every time the director calls Mature Baby LOL! This episode feels like a complete movie and should have ended. And the ED is a banger! 10/10 AOTS? |
