When you can tell the studio and ppl who produce this love this series and go all out on their production, you can totally see it from Oshi no Ko adaptation.
One of the best manga adaptation in recent years , with next to perfect pacing , artstyle, production, and some of the best anime original contents (they totally dont need to animate some of those performances but they go all out on it instead, like Kana MV, chicken dance)

Even if you read the whole manga is totally worth watching the full adaptation, just like Kuguya love is war. 
Cant wait for season 2.

I hate Oshi no Ko as much as I love Kaguya-sama. I was really excited up to the middle of the season. Then the plot became sloppy, characters' development are strange. The mistery with Ai's killer started to feel unnecessary detail in teen drama anime. The love-triangle seems soo unnecessary and stupid it's painful to watch.

Disappointment of the year 😔

“Akane who am I supposed to root for here!??!”

Banger of a season. Enjoyed every last bit of it.
Really cant wait for the next season and to see the Tokyo Blade arc!

A few random things I liked about this episode:


  • "In particular, that girl in the center is just the type otaku love." Happy to see agreement with Ruby's assessment (based on her years of following idols) while scouting Kana.
  • "#GuyWhoDoesntUseSocialMedia" Constant reminder Aqua has always acted like an old man. 
  • "You'll get malicious fans tracking you down and might even become the victim of stalking." This is absolutely hilarious coming from somebody who "just happened to be in the area" and was certainly not following Aqua around.


This show really is quite clever. You could really go over this series with a fine-toothed comb, and you would discover all sorts of little details, connections, and throwaway gags. I love it.

It looks like I'm not the only one who thinks that the only good episodes are the ones revolving around Ai or Akane (eps 1 and 6-8).

From the authors of Kuzu no Honkai and Kaguya-sama, and after a great premiere episode, I expected more than just a decent watch.

Outstanding idol performance of Kana, Ruby, and Memcho. I love the rivalry between Kana and Akane. I'm excited to see the Tokyo Blade stage play.

Amazing adaptation and I'm hype for the second season!

The adaptation quality is really something else. Everything is on point or even way better than the original counterpart. I'm truly impressed, Doga Kobo. This anime truly deserves a high rating.

This is just me but ...I just wished most visual novel adaptation were like this.


OH COME ON I JUST WANT TO GO STRAIGHT SEASON 3!

Well we didn’t get that Scarlet>Fire cover but as expected they blew the roof off the venue with their performance, even managing to recapture that former fan of Ai, and damn it looked really nice too, as someone that watches idol anime I am used to a mix of CGI and drawn animation but this was all drawn (or at least it appeared that way) and it looked stunning, some really amazing scenes in there. And Aqua doing that dance he did as a baby was great lol, the absolute perfect boost to their performance, especially Kana.

And speaking of Kana it was really nice to see her come back around on Aqua after giving him the cold shoulder for a good bit, really enjoyed her teasing Aqua too lol. And the rest regarding that 2.5D adaptation of a popular anime seems to be setting up the next arc for the just announced season 2, sounds like it’s gonna be an interesting one, especially with the newly discovered rivalry between Akane and Kana lol.

And so ends this super popular anime, but I’m ngl I think it deserves the popularity, it’s a damn good show. From the massive first episode which set the stage for everything that came after it, to the darker themes and the general goofiness, I had a lot of fun with this one. Only issue I had with it was the fact this anime was so popular it probably overshadowed some other amazing shows this season, but I can’t fault the show for that lol. And for my best girl, I think it’s gotta be between Akane and Kana, it’s a hard choice for me so I won’t pick one just yet lol. And Doga Kobo really slayed this adaptation, for a studio that usually does SoL they really brought it this time. But I guess with that, we wait for season 2 to come and stomp another season with popularity lol, I’m looking forward to it!

Good finale. Overall this anime is overhyped as fuck. After the first episode that felt like cheap Perfect Blue knock off it got much much better. Oshi no ko got lucky to get such amazing adaptation. Without spectacular production constantly going the extra mile there's nothing that exceptional about the story or the characters. Tho I'd say my biggest problem is constant monologues that keep telling how the industry works, there is too much of them and they're done awkwardly imo. Still a pretty good show

I understand your concern, but this show is supposed to be a commentary of the industry. There are a few parts at which it embraces the idol industry, but all in, it has a bit of everything. Glad you liked it!

Looks like they've finally took to the stage, and what a performance it was!
Seems that Kana is back on normal terms with Aqua.
We also found out she is going to be "competing" with Akane, now that they are also on the same project that Aqua is going to be doing next (season 2 I guess).
I thought it would be ending on a cliffhanger, and even then I still think they left it on a very satisfying point.

My favorite show this season and season 2 is already announced. I really like how the show is sol but at the same time kinda a murder mystery and so many interesting characters. I guess next season we will see rivalry between Akane and Arima in the Tokyo Blade stage play and maybe Aqua will get to know more about the people in Lala Lai

I'm glad that Ruby, Kana and Mem-Cho put on a great first live performance at the idol event. Once again, Aqua worked like a lunatic with his fan dance which almost made Ruby and Kana laugh while they were still performing. XD

Not only that, but Kana now knows that Aqua and Akane's relationship is a working one and not what she thought it would be, which she was VERY relieved, as you could tell from her blushing face. Mem-Cho, on the other hand, is now at that awkward position of not knowing who she wants to support more in this intriguing love triangle. Speaking of which, Kana meeting Akane and Aqua during their "date" shows how much of a grudge the pair have for each other. This was made even more apparent now that all three of them have been cast for a stage play, where the characters that the trio will be playing are also part of a love triangle.

So that wraps up Oshi No Ko and this episode, just like with the rest of the season, have been stellar. Doga Kobo went all out with this series and it really shows with how beautiful the visuals are and how the animation quality is. I'm happy that a second season has already been announced. so it won't be too long of a wait until we get to see this great cast of characters once more on our T.V screens or monitors.

9/10 is my final score.

The anime of the season is finished, waiting for the 2nd Season (I'm so excited about it). Actually is the first time I see what Oshi no Ko did to anime since it was released, not only because the score. The genre "Idol" was totally changed because this anime and I'm so happy about it. Without a doubt is one of the animes of the decade, now we just can wait for the 2nd season. Thanks Doga Kobo for this adaptation. Final score 8/10!!

This one, the concert. OMG. This was masterpiece to watch, especially with Aqua flipping the script in the process OMG.

Cheery on the top, was to see Aqua indirectly turning Kana and Akane against each other throats, away from himself. Particularly with Akane turning into Bosnian Mode and showing how she is going to end her rival's whole carrier :DDDDDD

Kana wants to regain more celebrity with this idol band.
Oh gosh, we got some hints about the second season. I am very hyped about the fight between Kana and Akane for Aqua.
I hope they will show more backstage about this showbusiness, more psychologic moments.

This season is very great, very nice moments, excellent emotionals scenes (damn when Aqua rescue Akane in the bridge, this series hooks me so much)

9 out 10 :D

The decision to not include Mana Suzushiro's short plot line and instead immediately start the introduction of the next arc was weird. Especially since they showed her at the beginning.

Underwhelming. Boring. Repetitive. Anticlimactic.

Bonus points:
- more flashbacks (during the performance nonetheless LOL)
- focus again on highly unlikable Arima (grumpy, cynical, ungrateful, immature, no redeeming qualities, annoying voice)
- highly hateble Akane brought back into the mix (oh poor me)

This story is dead. Moreover, it was never alive.

Prediction.

Once the deluded fanboys and fangirls move on this anime will fall to a more realistic rating. I expect a 7 or 6.
Of course, what it really deserves is a 4, but fandom culture will not allow that happen. People watch and support almost everything. No matter how poor the work.

It's this lack of needed discrimination and imbecilic acceptance that pollutes and poisons the well. Well then, enjoy drinking out of the gutter.

absolutely amazing show. my only complaint is that the first episode set the bar way too high. the rest of the episodes were enjoyable of course, but that first episode was miles above the rest of the season and definitely put people's expectations at an unreasonable level.

loved seeing the new b komachi perform. i feel like at some point kana will be looking out to almost an entire crowd of people waving white glow sticks.

so many things to look forward to in the following season(s)
