| I am so shocked and happy!!! Finally I can see Kazumin's work and in the form of my favorite media (anime). She's one of my favorite idol, and I've always wanted to read the novel since I learned about her writing it. Would still read it if I find a translaton of it. |

| I wish they could focus their manpower into the dress up darling s2 project before taking more and more projects but .. oh well |
| This looks so nice, just saw it on the Aniplex channel. Hopefully I’ll be able to remember this whenever it releases since it’ll be a while until then :] |

| So this is about an irl idol? Seems interesting. |
 |
| If there is one thing i'll give to those idol stories, its that they are basically sport dramas ... and those are always a good watch. |

| The official website gives a rather interesting look at the work. Starting with calling CloverWorks "Bocchi the Rock's studio" and ending with a strange phrase about friendship with "beautiful girls from the north, south, east and west." Also, what's that shot with the guy? I never thought that I would somehow connect someone from Nogizaka and straight romance. @Swagernator Love Live made them like this a long time ago because the original anime idol concept was too shoujo-ish. |

| @ZXEAN If earlier animators were overworked due to too expensive and large shows, now because of too many projects taken on. |
|
| Just a matter of time, and I believe we'll soon see animes over the journey and hardships of kpop idols. |

| @Softhenic03 Well, Oshi no Ko contains quite a lot of insider stuff, as Aka is a big fan of Japanese entertainment and even interviewed some of the actors and idols while working on the manga. But if we talk about first-hand material, then if you wish, you can even find 3-4 manga about the nuances of AV idol's working in the porn industry. From silly ecchi to psychological drama. |

| The singer's voice in the PV has some STELLAR voice like a comet in the sky. |

| @Softhenic03 Yeah, i can't wait to see an idol being harassed by their "fans" for dating then being beaten by their manager with a wooden stick, and then have their head shaved all that in a sakuga animation. True korean experience. |

| @Swagernator It'll be baseball bat in case of slightest bit of weight gain and failing to maintain the hourglass norm:) Japan is running out of content, we'll see such things soon. |
