| Hearing their song in the anime is reallyyyy nice. Ruby and Mem's improvement for the stage is amazing. Their hardwork paid off. Also gotta love Mem panicking who to root for between Kana and Akane lol. |

| i never really like idol anime, but this was suprisingly really good, cant wait for season 2!! |
CANDY:  |
| i can't wait to see this stage play. this was a fantastic show; im not really into idol stuff but as a performer i felt like they really showed just how exhausting and troubling it can be. a lot of people might not understand once you're done being in character a lot of people will just go backstage and totally collapse and need time to wind down. aqua is still on the hunt for the killer, im not sure what will happen if and when he finds him and i also wonder if the siblings will find out they actually knew each other. |

| this episode Ruby's performance single-handedly made me understand the appeal of idols. The performances themselves were also very nice! I hope there is an uninterrupted version of the performances, but that's highly unlikely. The Akane - Loli-senpai rivalry is starting to heat up, both adorable in their own ways. Still, none can best, best girl. Raida, MY GOAT, also makes his first appearance. Season 2 seems to be covering the entirety of the Tokyo Blade arc and is likely to be even better than this season. Btw, s1 ends at ch40. Start at ch41 if you want to continue right where the s1 ended, but I recommend you start from the first ten-ish chapters since the first episode left out some stuff. You can then skip to ch41 afterwards since everything in between has been animated. |
| I have read 2 perfect chapters of manga; They are Usogui Chapter 203 and Onani Master Kurosawa Chapter 23. |
| What a splendid welcome this was! Often, I feel that the hype of a show has worked against me, but this is one instance where that didn't at all. I actually watched the episode a few hours ago but had to leave in a rush for my service, so I'll keep this short. Arima-san's focus over the last couple of episodes in particular was fabulous and it was so lovely to see her (and Ruby) finally make their presence known to the dedicated fans of B-Komachi and Memo-chan's fanbases. I respect her for being upfront with Aqua about his impersonation earlier and hearing that she tends to bring out the old self in him sounds like a signal. Poor Akane will really have to step up her game or it'll be game lost in no time, lol. God, I'm going to miss the banger Op & ED too. Kind of feels like you can't possibly top it now but hopefully, we'll be stunned yet again! And what more can I say? If Doga Koba is able to produce this level of quality for another round (and more), we should be in for a good treat! Solid 9/10 from here. Episode 1 was a 10/10 for sure but the rest have been great as well. |

| GOOOOOOOOOOD!!!! WITHOUT A DOUBT A PERFECT ENDING!!! AquaGOD demonstrating until the end why he is the best male protagonist of the season, on the other hand the girls (especially Kana) shone on stage, worthy of true idols. The interaction between Kana and Akane is very good, I didn't expect there to be a rivalry between them xd Ruby fulfilled her dream and now she is an idol, will she be the same as her mother? only time will tell us xd Without a doubt this is the anime of the season, I really enjoyed it from start to finish, I'm seriously thinking about starting to read the manga xd. AND THE BEST THING IS THAT WE HAVE A CONFIRMED 2ND SEASON!!! LET'S FUCKING GOOOOOOOOO!!!!  |
| Damn, beautiful anime! Strong 9/10 for me. Loved it!! Super keen to find out what happens in the future. If the anime adaptation wasn't so damn good I'd jump over to the manga. I can't wait for Ruby and Aqua to eventually discover that they knew eachother in their past lives! I'll probs cry when it happens |
 |
| Poor Kana but by the end of the second song, there are some white lightsticks!!! And she managed to charm Aqua, even if just a little bit. The ending was well done and properly builds a sense of anticipation for the next season. Can't wait for more of my boy Melt Narushima too |
 |
| W anime. Give me more of that episode 7 ending vibes |
 |
| Great finale to an amazing series. Anime of the season hands down. Also, I’m glad all 3 of my favourite anime this season have another season confirmed (Oshi no Ko, Demon Slayer, and Dangers in my Heart). |
| i'm a hater bc of the weird age gap past life stuff but the drama IS keeping me intrigued........i didn't even realize this was the last episode! idk maybe i'll pick up the manga bc it is getting juicy and since it's gonna end soon i don't want to be spoiled esp before the next season gets animated. also i loved the b komachi stage animation i wish more idol anime had that treatment (former love live fan).. |

phantomfandom said: I don't know if I'll watch the next season, female idol is really not my thing, however, it seems like the next season will be about the stage play "Tokyo Blade" which is basically a rip-off of Touken Ranbu, and everyone knows how BL Touken Ranbu is, which make me want to looking forward to. But it seems like Tokyo Blade will focus more on hetero love triangle between one male and two female instead of a bromance between an all-male cast, and the core of Oshi no Ko is hetero, so the hope is low for me. After all the yuri we’ve been getting fed, it’d be nice to get some popular male pairings in anime. And I’m not even a fan of BL, just saying for the fans of that genre that keeps getting overlooked in favour of yuri series. |
| I am also reading the manga and I was expecting this episode so much... Oh, boy!, it didn't disappoint at all. While reading the manga there are two things you can't have in that moment: - The animation - The music And both of them were wonderful. Welcome, B-Komachi, to my circle of favorites. You've just joined µ's, FranChouChou and Kessoku Band into the glory. |

| This final episode basically doubled down on every bad aspect of this series. It's so schizophrenic in focus. The first hurdle of reviving the almost forgotten B Komachi idol group was a dud, between the music not really doing it for me, the rather insensitive handling of an audience member remembering Ai (okay, seriously, why is it written that Ai died? She was killed - two totally separate things), and it being over way too quickly, this was a disaster - any impact I was meant to feel was lost. The romance triangle feels nice to include, but firstly the sequence of the reveal was rather odd, and if I'm being quite frank once again introducing more layers to Kana feels convoluted than like worldbuilding. I get it was hinted that Kana takes issue with Akane earlier but once again the series show absolute insensitivity to episode 6's events and the whole thing feels so forced. Which is it, Kana? Music or acting? Akane, are you struggling as an actor or not? The series seems convinced you're both at the same time. Ugh...I don't know. I'll approach S2 with heavy skepticism. |
| I'm glad the first season concluded without leaving us a cliffhanger, so everything will continue on season 2 forward. This is truly some good news! |

| If there's an anime which I will give an unreasonably high score just for the production quality then it's this one. Obviously the story still hasn't gotten anywhere, but it's probably better to break the cours up, since I feel that many shows just go unnoticed at the second half of their 24/26-episode run, because of all the shiny new stuff at the onset of new streaming seasons. |

| Man what a show! Easily one of the best pilot episodes in a while (quickly became one of my favs definitely) At first i had a feeling it would fall off cuz of the strong start (i didnt know anything about manga) and i was completely wrong every episode was really good imo some better then the others but overall not a single weak ep. It really feels like fresh unique idol show i mean cuz it is, its emotional funny cute got a little bit of everything thrown in there best word to describe this is MASTERPIECE!!! and dont even get me start on how fking good OP is like shit slaps so hard idk how many times i played it nah even everyone around me heard it alteast 20 times i love it 10/10 Kana best girl And we are getting Season 2 Lets gooo!!! |

| It is still a shame this essentially became Love Live. I think the first episode, whilst it had its issues, did set up certain expectations that it didn't meet. This is an idol show with a few sprinkles of other genres and if you're not into idols then it's not going to be as entertaining. I'm really hoping this might lead to Kasane getting an anime or something. That's much more my style, but it doesn't have all that much in common with Oshi no Ko aside from the acting parts reallyyy. I'm just desperate for that manga to get adapted. I still enjoyed this overall. Typical fun weekly anime to watch, but one that won't stick with me much afterwards. I can safely say the best thing to come out of this series was the opening theme. Also I assume the crow is supposed to be the supernatural entity or whatever watching them. Could be totally wrong, but that's how these things usually go. Overall 7/10. |
| B-Komachi's first concert and it was funny to see Aqua dancing like that xD But that stage play could be interesting of course since this is the same group as Ai took part back then... and we have Akane vs Kana kind of rivalry. Overall pretty good anime, still find it extremely overrated and I don't get why but whatever, it's nice to see a different kind of idol show going further with its characters' development and animation being good as well, even though it has its limits. 7/10 |
 |
| Was a nice series, overhyped is an understatement but all the negative reviews are ridiculous this by no means a bad anime. Characters are fun but Aqua and Ruby are underwhelming as protagonists, side characters Kana and Akane clearly steal the show. There were many boring episodes after ep 1 but picked back up after ep 6. Will consider reading the manga as it was enjoyable enough for me. 7/10 |
| Finally extremely overrated series is over and we will not see it for long time. |
