Hm, can´t deny this was a very good 1st episode. 

It specially shines due to 1hour first episode and so they did a good job using that 1 hour (and some minutes) they had.

The story/plot so far weren´t mind blowing in my opinion, but it was well done. Let´s see how this will turn out to be in the next episodes. 

I specially enjoyed the comedy and the easy going scenes xD 

Onto next episode.

I guess this is what people mean by "episode 1 spoilers". I sure am glad I keep myself in the dark about anime spoilers, because that ending wouldn't have had any impact at all if I knew about it ahead of time. I was a bit confused by the runtime, but yeah, this was a solid 10/10 first episode. That after-credits scene was bittersweet, but nice.

OP is next episode, but I'll just say what I always say, since I've already started watching episode 2. "I'm a crusty curmudgeon who dislikes most modern J-pop, and unfortunately, the OP and ED here are no exception", though the OP animation was really well done visually.
Opinions are opinions, and differing opinions can co-exist. 🙂 But I don't do debate, life's too short to spend time debating people.

It's not an idol show, it's, for the most part, what happens behind one. All the naughty secrets that idols hide from their fans and mostly the business tactics. So if you, like me, aren't a fan of people dancing and singing for other peoples entertainment, give the first episode a shot. If you do like idol shows, even better, now you get to enjoy a bts of one and enjoy a banger of an episode. Its very long, almost 3 and a half episodes long from a standard anime, but the whole thing comes together and it felt like watching a movie where at the ending, everything adds up and within a couple frames they slap you into the abyss with this one. I must admit they could've elevated the climax with some really nice music but the silence worked for me, but it would've had me sent with some music. Most of this episode felt like a slice of life, adding on with some comedy and surprisingly well timed tragedy as well, specially in the beginning where
Its weird that it works but it so works and I'm here for it.

I'm only watching this because of everyone raving about it in the forums. But it's 35 minutes into the "first episode" movie, and I'm finding it boring and tedious as fuck. None of the jokes are landing. All the lectures on idol culture are pretentious. The thought of a grown ass man reincarnating into a baby is creepy as hell. I keep checking the time to see when this is going to be fucking over.

Someone please tell me there's a twist or something, cause if it's just going to be a slice of life / Dr. Stone with baby otakus lecturing about idol worship, this is looking to be hot garbage. This needs a Madoka Magica level intervention at this point.

Un primer capítulo que supera cualquier expectativa es cine puro parecía una película bien elaborada lo que ahora de aquí en adelante debe pasar con este anime es mantener la calidad argumental como este cine puro.

the plot of the anime is weird .The idol giving is birth is okay but why the rebirth of those twins is gross and pretty creepy considering the fact that they are otaku's .

Why don't these weirdos have no sentimentality for their past lives? All they think is their silly mom.

And I don't get how come a doctor has both brain tumor and pregnant patients. Isn't that illegal?

So many people struggling to just live around the world and here we have this anime making a big deal about stars having to deal with mean people on the internet while making millions. How about wiping those tears away with all the excessive cash you have instead?

Yeah this is what I really like about ep1 so far, all the reality checks are way more direct.

I honestly can't begin to express how this story made me feel. At first I thought I was going to watch a cute, funny show about teen idol's lives (as if the cover wasn't deceiving enough); you know, some scenes from work, then some about their background and personal interest, but when I saw a 16 year old girl beign preagnant it all turned out in a different direction. This one and only chapter gave the biggest rollercoaster of emotions ever: sweetness, some funny stuff, some weird stuff, sad stuff, serious topics and deep thought about the industry life, I cried and not going to lie, even got kind of scared and shocked. Insanely great start.

OH FFS like I haven't read the manga when I heard that doorbell I already was thinking and... here's where she gets stabbed in the stomach I first had the feeling of ah I knew it. But then it started fucking hurting so bad like this might be the most hurt I have felt from an anime like ffs i like i fucking can't believe what it made me feel. The introduction to this anime was legendary but Ai was such a major character i can't even imagine what's going to happen next. Only lightly that she is going to become an idol and he an actor. While the ED was playing i just stared at my ceiling to comprehend what was going on. And the ED was so goooood. After the ed also hurts man just this episode alone makes me want to add it to my favorite animes.

WTF!?!

I thought this series would be mostly about Ai, but she just went and died at the end of the prologue?!

Some Vinland vibe here, where likewise the best character dies at the begining...

I was blown away by this amazing episode. It was a perfect blend of stunning animation and powerful storytelling. Even though I wished some scenes were looked after, I have nothing to criticize. The ending was a shocker that hit me hard with its realism and emotion. The cast did a superb job of bringing the characters to life. This is a masterpiece that deserves all the praise.

As a fan for many idol groups I could relate very much to the shit that goes inside idols fandoms although i'm not a hardcore fan I still see such comments and tweets roaming online. But man the end really broke me, I never felt connected to a character so much, poor Ai I really cried my heart out at that scene. Peak first episode couldn't get any better

i thought this anime was a happy vibes anime. its turned out that this anime is kinda sad i mean just one episode the main character is dead come on man. why you have to make Hoshino Ai die. even if Hoshino Ai didnt die just cut off her scene and focus on Hoshino AI children journey. Even though Hoshino Ai died, I still focused more on Hoshino Ai too and couldn't move on. but overall this anime is great only took me like 4-5 hours i cant stop watching XD the story is great except for Hoshino AI death and this anime is really fun to watch

had no idea the first episode would be longer than 30 mins, but was throughly impressed. It lives up to the hype, and in a sea of isekais, it truly stands out. Loved the twis and excited to see how this plays out.

Wow! Didn't realize episode 1 would be a whole ass movie, but I'm honestly glad they did it that way. We got the whole prologue in one episode without it feeling rushed. Despite seeing a ton of spoilers I was still surpised by some of the things I saw in the episode. To be honest, it wasn't until I was like an hour in that I went, "wait, am I still on episode 1? Isn't this kinda long?" But I was all for it!
