| I'm gonna be honest here, I very rarely get emotional watching an anime or any show for that matter (a reason for that maybe cause I'm a dark/psychological genre fan so deaths and heartbreaks there are pretty common). Ive been following Oshi no ko since it's release and i didn't cry when I read that scene. But watching it in animation legit made me cry... Ep1 atleast imo was better in anime than the manga |
 |
| I didnt cry as i have read the manga. But damn, i also didnt know this many people cried to it. It was a great episode. |
 |
| Well... Can't vote since I didn't see that coming and I didn't cry. Ai is an interesting character. Beautiful, cute, energetic, a good mother, positive... But just in one episode... I didn't attach to her fully... Maybe if she dead in the last episode will shed a little tear. |
 |
| Well, I felt sad. I went into this blind and was NOT expecting her to be murdered. I thought it would be a slice of life comedy because I am only familiar with Kaguya-sama. I did not expect it to go that dark. For me, the prologue was produced well enough in terms of animation and story, and its own "reincarnation" premise that it did not seem too "happy", compared to School-Live or Goblin Slayer, which were pretty obviously setting up the audience with how "generic" everything was. I don't think I cried in the last few years from media. Last I think was maybe Disney's Coco, but it just hit that spot of bittersweet to me. I don't cry at completely tragic events, but bittersweet ones, I suppose. |

| Someone was really thoughtful when they decided to spoil Ai's death scene in the YouTube video thumbnail on the same day the episode was released. So, this spoiled the event for me, and I couldn't cry, but it definitely had an impact on me. Additionally, Ai's monologue during the episode was sorrowful, as she had to maintain the happiness of those around her by lying, among other things. Therefore, saying "I love you" genuinely to her children before passing away was poetic. Although I don't have high expectations for this Anime to surpass the exceptional standard they set in the first episode, I'll continue to watch it. |
| I was crying and I'd read the manga, so I knew exactly what was coming. Even reread the exact scene only a few days prior. |
WVM said: No Offense and I HAVE NO ISSUES WITH ITS HIGH RATINGS But you guys really cried? It was honestly a good episode no doubt but I guess the only reason why it hit 9.35 ratings was surely because You guys witnessed AI's death and chick hearts felt it heavy......also again NO OFFENSE in that as well Also the timeskip AQUA engulfed with an absolute REVENGE......loved that I saw her death coming as the ATMOSPHERE in the ep changed and ofc the STAKER was the MAJOR also no π’DEATH SPOILERπ’from other animes.....there was one of π’DEMON SLAYERπ’ in other post but since everyone watched it so it wasn't a spoiler so I’ve seen Made in Abyss…Crying on this lol |
| It was pretty shocking and sad for me but not enough for me to cry. Maybe if she was around a little longer I could get to know her better and even more interested then maybe |
| i was spoiled about her death and still cried like a little bitch. even i was surprised to see i cried that much. it was comparable to how much i cried during mugen train and rezero rem cave betelguese scene and that was a lot. |
 The end of an era. Thank you Wit, Mappa and Isayama. Feeling half happy, half sad. Kawaii waifus and precious best girls <3333 |
| No, it was more shockingly tragic than sad crying to me. I was a little sad but not enough to cry, even watching it as an anime didn't change much. I did feel the frustration post death out of every character that was involved with Ai. |
| Almost 20 characters. |
 |
| it was a pretty emotional episode and it did almost make me cry |
 |
I saw it coming (since i got spoiled) and I still cried |
STOP SLEEPING ON ODD TAXI |
| I did not cry.. yeah it was sad but she didn't seem genuine at all in my eyes. She waited until she was on her deathbed to say she loves her kids, Man that's toxic as fuck! She didn't even want to be a mother, she saw her kids as accessories..Like putting your kids on someone else to still be an idol lol like hell no if you a mother you give 100% of yourself to your kids. No it's ands or buts! |
| I did not cry. I screamed. |

| It was pretty devastating to be honest. Deff had a few tears running. I will say that the hour and 20 minute format would have been a lot better if I saw it in theaters or something. I didn't realize it was an hour+ at first so I was in 35 minutes and was like damn this feels long for an anime episode. I actually ended up watching it in short bursts which I kinda regret doing, but I wasn't prepared to sit down for a full movie. It was enjoyable though so far. |

epidemia78 said: Same, didn't feel bad for her, but the scene was amazing and made me excited to see what Aqua will do regarding the father.Nope. I didn't find Ai to be particularly likable and the scene was way too melodramatic anyway. Tragic death scenes are rarely actually cry-worthy especially when the dying person goes on a monologue. |
