| bro just missed the whole point of him becoming an actor and known in the entertainment industry. |
 |
| I feel the same way as you. Ep 1 just feels different from the rest of the show, and I'm personally not a fan of that. I'm willing to give it the benefit of the doubt though, as the show is still in the process of introducing the side characters, so maybe things will change. I will say that Aqua is all bark and no bite right now. Also, the plot point of him being a doctor in his past life hasn't really found its purpose yet. |
| I recommend you watching a shounen battle or Battle Royale show instead. For HYPE fights, backstories and deaths every episode. |
 |
| Hard no. If anything, episodes 6 and 7 made me fall in love with the show again. But on its own, episode 1 does deserve the high rating. But I'm not sure if I'd give the same rating to the rest of the series. The arc with Akane Kurokawa comes close though. |
| ya your slightly correct, the first ep was super good. It does have have a decent story tho and as a person who has read the manga there are definitely more moments like the first ep to be animated so dont lose your hope completely! |
| I don't even get what was so good about the first episode either, it was fine and the subsequent episodes have been around the same quality. What was so amazing about ep 1? |
| This anime shit is addictive |
| No, I'm not dissapointed. You can't be dissapointed if you don't have much faith, and it has been keeping in that line of quality. Sure, not as good as episode 1, but Ai is probably the best character Aka Akasaka wrote and she is already dead, so I'm not surprised at all if you think the quality got worse. |
| @Ionliosite2 Are you saying Ai is the best character he's written based on future content or based on whatever we have in the anime already? |
| This anime shit is addictive |
| @spectrojan Based on all the series I have seen he has written. |
| @Ionliosite2 I mean do you know more about Ai than shown in the anime? Like stuff that's only in the manga as of now |
| This anime shit is addictive |
| WTF is up with this site LMAO. Must be a bug or something. Nah we are not the same. I thought the first episode was pretty bad and hard to get through, watched two more episodes and I dipped. |

| @Ionliosite2 oh hell no. Ai is definitely not the best character that Aka has written. We can at least give him some credit here. That title probably goes to a character from Kaguya, definitely not an Oshi no Ko character IMO. My biggest problem with Aka's works is most of them start out pretty good and then they fall off drastically. Luckily, I didn't have to read hundreds of chapters to see Oshi no Ko fall off... in my eyes ofc. |
| Arteta's Tricky Reds! |
| @soulresinVEVO How are you able to quote? |
| Arteta's Tricky Reds! |
| @samsince04 Most characters in Oshi no Ko are better than the ones in Kaguya-sama, I know Ishigami is good and Miyuki is hanging in there, but the others? Literal jokes. @spectrojan No, I do not, I haven't read the Oshi no Ko manga. |
| @Confused_100 I mean I haven't seen anything yet that would make me think of Ai as well-written but okay |

| First few episodes I rated the show a 9 and after episode 6 it was added to my short list of 10's. Not gonna argue taste or expectations, I'm totally fine with people not liking story focused shows because they prefer action, but that also means they can't really rate it with relative objective scale considerations (for example rating a "top" movie low or average cause you don't like the style/genre) |
| I think you generally lack patience, and need a constant twist or shock factor. For me it's like if I know something gets good eventually, I'll even watch a series of average episodes. If something has given indication that it has potential to be good, I'll wait for it to be good. Not everything has be outstanding, some episodes can give you sweet memories, some bittersweet, or just a good laugh. Some episodes will be meaningless right now, but might have some little information that might be vital in the future. I'll give the example of Clannad here. Is first season as good as After Story? No. But, is After Story complete without 1st season? Hell no. Not everyday is special in life. But without the ordinary days, those special days won't have significance. IIIf everyday is special, the special would be the new ordinary, and you'll have find a new special. It works for everything in life, be it work, love, anything. How long can you keep creating a master piece that can top your previous one? Can an athlete break his / her previous record everyday? Can even a Shonen Protagonist break the power of his limits in each episode? Even if he does, eventually breaking the limits would become ordinary and you'll want something new, unexpected. Each ordinary day in life might not have much significance on its own, but if you add them up, it gives you the power to break previous records, or limit. So enjoy the ordinary as it might build up to be something extraordinary. |

| I thought ep 1 wasn't great either so the show has been consistently 6/10 imo |
| This anime shit is addictive |
| tbh I almost dropped this show during episode 1, but now I'm glad I didn't. ep1 was full of idol performances and the damn babies were so annoying, but since the ep.2 the show has actually become interesting. the only good thing about ep1 was the last few minutes |
| Episode 1 does nothing different compared to the rest, it's just the gory shock factor at the end used as a hook that makes it stand out. Honestly episode 1 was beat by episode 6 and possibly 7 in my opinion, Episode 1 and all others focus on the entertainment industry through the eyes of Aqua. Everything is structured the same, after each episode there still is a hook for the next. I'm confused what exactly people were expecting after 90% of the 1st episode was just about the entertainment industry and the last 10% was shocking twists that set up the rest of the story. I'm honestly astounded that this anime was done so well, I never expected it to be this good personally so it broke all of my expectations, and I hope it continues to deliver. |

| @Shinuki_n_Reborn Relax pal take a breath, all I'm saying is that it'd be nice to see his "doctor skills" in play while he chases after the father. I don't think it's a weird criticism all at considering a good portion of episode 1 was about his adult profession. I did in fact watch the pregnancy bit, and it definitely was important on solidifying their bond. However, there hasn't been a connection to the doctor role since then, and I feel that's a missed opportunity. Episode 1 set up that unique premise nicely, and I'd like to see more of that. |

| @spectrojan brother you liked tokyo revengers. So not knowing what makes oshi no ko good is not that surprising. |
|
| Not to sound like an ass, but Ai something of a litmus test for me. Namely, do you appreciate creative risk, how much do you pay attention to characterization, and do you need things spoonfed to you? Like, if you don't get it, sorry man, you failed the test. And I'm saying this as a guy that thinks killing her was Aka's biggest mistake, so no, I'm not adding more weight to her simply because she died, although it was incredibly heartbreaking. |
| @MrElias He said it was a 6/10 for him, which even in this site is called "good", a 6 is a positive rating. |
| @spectrojan spectrojan said: I mean I haven't seen anything yet that would make me think of Ai as well-written but okay That's weird, didn't you watch the first episode? |
Ionliosite2 said: @MrElias He said it was a 6/10 for him, which even in this site is called "good", a 6 is a positive rating. Sure a 6 is considered good on MAL, but i still disagree with his rating when he likes something as bad as Tokyo Revengers. |
|
| While I definitely agree Episodes 2 and 3 felt a little weak when compared to the spectacle of Episode 1, everything from episode 4 onwards has definitely lived up to my expectations! |
 |
| Only last like 20 mins of ep 1 was super good tbh the rest of ep was good but doesn't compare to last 20 mins |
 |
| nah, good way to filter out the plebes though. |
