first, people who like the reincarnation/revenge/who is the best girl thingy

and two, who like the insight of entertaiment industry thingy (tv drama, reality show, idol, manga, stage play).

I watch it because of reason two, because I'm female, so I dont enjoy the part that intended for male audience. (reason one)

I watch it for the second reason while I do like the revenge plot I'm just way more invested in knowing inside stuff.

yeah I started watching it for the first reason but the story got more interesting with including the struggle of idols and actors that we normal people think of as ideal lives
a major scene for me was when people started the hate against Akane as it is a thing I see daily on Instagram where just for fun or to look cool people write hate comments without knowing it can have a major impact on someone's life

I just want 2 things from the show...

To know more about the inside stuff of the industry...

& to know more about Ai...

She is such a wasted character the more this show keeps on going...

i think I watch it for both reasons. mainly because of the cliffhanger endings of the episodes, beautiful animation style, and the revenge aspect I guess.

I think it because I'm female, so I dont enjoy the part that intended for male audience.

I’m a mix of everything here except reincarnation. I don’t particularly care for that genre. Although I don’t hate it.

But I love the drama and entertainment industry stuff.

I am here for the revenge/reincarnation plot, which they are currently NOT focusing on.

People who understand what Oshi no Ko is about and people who somehow got lost here.

Sure reincarnation and revenge plot are PART of the show. But people who think two seasons worth of a show are fillers, only like the first episode and wished the show would go straight to the goal with no journey, have no business calling themselves fans of Oshi no Ko.

Just read the manga, realize the murder plot is not nearly interesting as you thought so that you can be disappointed early and drop this show. Keeping such false expectations isn't good for you.

No, the real meat of the show is the entertainment business (both the infodump and the "dark side"), the psychology of characters and how they fall into despair and deal with trauma, the mastermind and psychological manipulator Aqua. THAT's the show.

You want a murder plot? I can write you a fan fiction. Aqua made a DNA test with producer A, it was not his father. Aqua made a DNA test producer B it was not his father. Aqua made a DNA test with producer C. It's his father! Aqua takes a knife and kills C. What a very interesting story. 10/10 so much better than watching boring fights between manga authors or Aqua manipulating people around like pawns or watch the hoshino family deal with trauma. I would hate watching that...

I find the insight on the entertainment industry as an interesting aspect that allows the show to increase its quality with more depth, but I'm mainly in it to see how the characters develop because the story has presented a very diverse cast who are all rivals in the industry, but also need to cooperate often due to being on the same project.

I'm particularly interested in Aqua, and how his thirst for revenge will force him into morally grey areas (not the revenge itself, since it's highly unlikely for the plot to move that fast). Where will he draw the line? Or will he just stop caring entirely? Will he eventually do something that he will regret, and how will he move forwards, or will he just give up? For example, his fake relationship with Akane where it does seem that she likes Aqua romantically to some degree (in its early stages right now), but Aqua just wants to take advantage of her for her connections. I also really want to see how Akane, Kana, and Ruby develop their careers in a very competitive industry. I'm also looking forward to the role that the purple-haired boy from last season's drama will play in the story and whether or not he will be able to be successful as an actor.

I watch for both things.
I came for the first aspect (except best girls war, every girl in oshi no ko is best girl) & stayed on and become more invested because of second aspect.

Yeah, I would rather the show focus more on the former.
As it is, author is completely wasting Ai as a character and her legacy, which was established by the first episode as it's premise. I don't give a slightest flying fcuk about them making some theatrical plays or concerts. It honestly feels as if story was on complete standstill.
