I really want to watch it but I understand this series triggers a lot of people in different aspects.
Is there any list for potential major triggers by episode? 
I know it will be full of spoilers but I really wanna watch it but save myself if there's something specially difficult off me.

We could have just simply told you to watch it so you can avoid spoilers. It's best to watch the show as blind as you can be to up the suspense factor.

Ewww....that's kind of a good and disgusting idea, at the same time.


Do that. Watch it and create a Trigger-List for each Episode. We call it the *Snowflake-List-of-Cancer* xD

If you can discern reality from fiction and understand the messaging of the show, then there is absolutely nothing warranting controversy.

It’s time to go back to Twitter. The anime is PG-13 and nothing worthy of controversy happens. Still, it is a suspenseful drama anime and with that will come some dark themes.

A person asks a question respectfully to try and get some answers for his problem and get these answers as a result . I keep forgetting how cringe and immature the mal forums are . You can do better than that

I’m not near as hostile as the other commenters. The “triggers” of a drama/suspense show are what make it interesting. If they need someone to state trigger warnings on a non-controversial show then they probably shouldn’t watch it in this case.

Immature is a 25 year old asking for a list (per episode mind you) of things that may potentially upset them. Op deserves all the flak they're getting and then some.

I actually read the manga but I'm not gonna spoil it for you. So you might encounter triggers like murder, suicidal thoughts, manipulation etc. But on the other side, it's really good so far.

Some people do have mental illnesses that can cause them to have a breakdown when they are certain themes… but they should know by now to avoid any kind of suspense shows because of that. They are supposed to induce anxiety on purpose.

Twitter got triggered because episode 6 made the mother of a celebrity who committed suicide upset because of similarities to her daughter’s life. She publicly voiced her grievances, and twitter parasites grabbed on to that as they do with any “controversy”. There’s nothing really triggering unless you make it so. No one should need their hand held to watch and/or read a story.

Making a list of triggers is a waste of everyone’s time because everyone views “triggers” differently. We don’t know if Baking Soda triggers you, so do we have to mention every time a character brings up another’s history with baking soda? That sounds ridiculous, right??

There’s murder, there’s suicidal thoughts.. that’s pretty much it at this point. If those bother you, skip.

Dude what if they attempted suicide themselves? Or any kinda of serious trauma? They wouldn’t have a choice in how watching those things affect their mental state because the trigger would trigger their pain without them having much control of if it does or not. How would you feel if you dealt with suicidal tendencies or new somone who committed suicide or sat their and watched your mom get murdered then went and watched a show with those same things? Do you not understand how to have empathy?

Right? That’s what I’m saying. I personally haven’t dealt with anything where I would need to worry about triggers but I can at least understand why somone would want to be weary of triggers.

If you're 25 year's old and are "triggered" by anything rated pg-13 let alone a pg-13 rated CARTOON that is the very definition of immaturity. And no I have no empathy whatsoever for anyone who claims to get PTSD over a freaking anime, some of you are going to have a real rude awakening when people stop coddling to your "problems"

The best part? This happens in the subforum of a show where an arc explicitly dealt with online toxicity. Priceless.

Oi oi oi, since when some of y'all became so tolerant and sensitive, huh? ;D Not that long ago some folks would tear apart people not liking certain themes appearing in this show (like reincarnation, revenge plot, idol culture). Truly, Oshi no Ko really changes human hearts.

Hard to tell without spoiling anything, but if you are asking about themes that you'd call as triggers (because of them affecting the viewer by triggering negative emotions of some sort), then you might expect to see in this show are (very general spoiler, but still spoiler):


That's life, but if any of those topics might be somehow negative for you, due to - in example - past traumas, then perhaps it would be a good idea to just pass on Oshi no Ko. However, if that's not the case, but you are a sensitive person in general, then I'd suggest checking out the show if you are really interested in it. You might as well stop watching it when it becomes too unbearable to watch.

What is more, it's not like themes I mentioned above are totally from a different planet and not happen in real life. They do. Our world has a lot of darkness and those elements represent it pretty well. On the other hand, this world has a lot of vibrant colours as well. Oshi no Ko is full of good or lighthearted moments. It's safe to say that they dominate over darker themes. And well... this show also has beautiful colour palette, so its visuals are literally colourful, haha. ;p

LOL I'm surprised how a simple question got so many people worked up.
I just asked if there was a list, just like the "how the dog dies" site. I wasn't asking for someone to create one.
Cause yes, despite being an animation, the way it is portrayed + dialogue can trigger some people over sensitive topics.

Thanks for those that helped with your answers about the show or simply stating more about how PTSD affects people, and how some triggers may be specially bad for your mental health considering your background, despite your age.

Hope this topic won't bother anyone else.
(or well, if it makes you want to comment about Twitter snowflakes or how triggers are dumb for you, why don't you save your time for something that you really like and relate in a positive way? stop commenting on posts you don't want to be relevant and go comment on the ones you want to)
