| Rakugo did it all first, and did it all better. Long first episode, better OST, more romantic yet more excellent story start, and I was very much more into the story. Rakugo wipes yet again! |
| Idk how it can be overhyped when I've barely seen anyone talk about it, except Gigguk, maybe. Anyway, it's great. Interesting concept and great execution so far! |
| I have to admit that I haven't watched any Oshi no Ko after the first episode because I was afraid that the rest of the show won't ever be able to top episode 1 🤣. I'll watch it someday. |
| Studios do this when they have high expectation, so by using the best staff they can and spending more money and also picking source material they think is gonna do well, it's not as surprising to have strong starts. At the minimum if you're doing 12 episodes, but first episode is 4 times what it should normally cost, you're spending 25% more for the entire season compared to if you didn't do this. This might actually be a little under hyped at the moment, since it's at 137k members currently. |

| @watsym Studios don't pick the material they adapt. 90% of the time, studios are just comissioned by the companies that actually fund the anime and that give them the series. |

| @Oongbuh Yeah, just replace studio with "the companies funding the anime project" and it will make sense again. The point was about costing more money anyway, hence having to care more what happens with that money |
| Just a heads up: Oshi no Ko manga and Frieren manga started serializing in the same week… Take that however you like |
 |
| Yeah it feels like it has the same effect. Only Oshi no Kos story is very basic and edgy, while this one actually has a lot of meaning behind it and seems to be made for a slightly older demographic. |
| I think it absolutely deserves all of the hype and had a stellar premiere. The long time, in my opinion, was the far better route to introduce Sousou no Frieren considering the kind of storytelling and prologue it had going. |

Funny you should say that, because it's actually Oshi no Ko that's published as seinen while Frieren's as shounen. Just a fun fact to mention. I appreciate both series. |

That is pretty ironic actually yeah. Still definitely feel freiren is much more mature. Oshi no ko feels like a seinen as much as one punch man does hahaha |
| Two things. 1) I dont see the comparison with Oshi no Ko making any sense besides the OP. Is this bait or something? 2) Since you dub this the "Oshi no Ko Effect," then that means you enjoyed OnK no? How is that a "long time since you watched a good anime?" This is a bait thread isnt it? |

| You know something is good when the ignorant haters with non sensical arguments arrive. |
| i like both shows but i don't really see the point of this post. |
 |
| Oh yes, the worldbuilding is fantastic and the episode shows everything that needs to be understood about it. |
 |
I mean I was thinking of a different oshi no ko effect personally |
| Why people act like Oshi no Ko invented the concept of extra long episodes? Besides, Frieren didn't have one, it just premiered 4 at once. |
| Well, let me tell you something. Sousou had 4 episodes while Oshi no Ko had a movie. There's a difference in the structure of an episode and a movie. |
| If you're a fanboy, please don't waste my time. Watch more movies, please. Perhaps, this is hell. |

| @MrBoomTop10Anime In the aftermath and as the dust settles, there stand 3 figures. The AoT fans; the FMA fans; and the SnF fans. They are bloodied and bruised, but their hands are clasped together as if to say that they have become one. Among the carnage, the Cowboy Bebop fans, the LoGH fans, and even the Berserk '99 fans lay dead, their bodies mangled beyond recognition. It had been a long, brutal battle; but finally, there would be peace. The top 3 series had finally agreed to be the guardians of an unclaimed throne for time immemorial, ready to crush underfoot any ambitious challengers who would come to realize that the top 3, in their unity, had chosen to share the throne rather than humble themselves to lesser roles. |
