Do you think every Anime will be popular if they start with a 90 minute 1st episode?

I think 90 mins long first episode is the trick to making any Anime popular and successful ..

it probably also needs
- Good animation
- Marketable Waifu
- Is a prologue to the rest of the show
- Hard hitting emotional moment

If something like 3 gatsu or monster got a 90 min premier ep no one give a shit because they'd find it too boring

If the staff does their best to elevate already good source material, sure. But can't forgot that Oshi no Ko already had some hype behind it before the anime, no even before the first manga chapter dropped.

Obviously not. Oshi no Ko worked because the manga's prologue fit perfectly in the format of a film, which is why the first "episode" had the duration it did.
Now, look at anime produced by Ufotable, like Kimetsu no Yaiba or Fate, they tend to start with a double episode filled with absolute emptiness, 40 minutes with nothing to tell, just to pretend it's something important.
If you're a fanboy, please don't waste my time.

Ofc, every trash anime have his own fanbase, OnK isn't a exception and just for the sake of it, Shoujo Rengoku Rakugo Shinjuu 1st episode is also around 1:20h, that show is certainly better than OnK though is nothing more than average to my eyes.

Probably not. The content in that 90 minute long episode is what matters more than anything else. It worked for Oshi No Ko because, as far as I'm aware, it perfectly adapted the manga's prologue (and I think the manga was already pretty popular, partially because it was written by the author of Kaguya-Sama: Love is War)

let me just say this. I absolutely disagree with your statement. Oshi no Ko had the perfect timeline and the content for it to be made into a 90min first episode as it covers the childhood of Aqua and stuff and the next episode directly jumps to the teen stage. If they tried to fit in the childhood stage in a 24min first episode then Oshi no Ko wouldve failed tbh.

No. 
Having a long first episode won't make any anime popular, it also needs to be good or at least engaging/entertaining. And even then, 90 minutes is essentially a movie, so I'd imagine there are people who would be put off by that. 40 minutes as an opening episode seems much more reasonable/appropriate.

Seems pretty unrelated to me whether the first episode is longer or not. For me personally, I don't even watch weekly but I binge after a whole season has aired or at least about half of it and then the rest afterwards). So an extra long episode makes zero difference, at least to me.

Unless a prologue is needed to begin with later on, I don't think there are other good reasons why we should have an anime that shares the same principle as that.

Oshi no Ko isn't an exception to this because the author did pretty well in writing the story, character backgrounds and etc so everything can fit perfectly into the format of a film though.

I definitely don't think so. Imagine if it had a really boring or subpar first epsiode. Nobody would finish the first episode, and everyone would drop it earlier than usual!

I haven't watched Oshi no Ko. But you underestimate the skill of every animators if you think compressing entire prologue which is longer in original source to 24 min episode will make it automatically fail.
Cross game did compress 1 volume of manga to 24 min first episode, and they succeed on that. They can do the flashbacks later of the story anyway.

it's not. making the pilot long enough to hit the hook is though.

oshi no ko's pilot didn't work because it was long, it worked because it was an entire arc, and a prenominal hook.

for example, the perfect pilot for vinland, would be the first 4 episodes mashed into one.

the first 3 for madoka magica, first 2 for death note, and first 3 for jojos.


the lenght doesn't matter, so many shows like:

steins;gate, made in abyss, megalo box, one punch man, and the promised neverland already set the hook by the end of the pilot without making it extended. 


and again all of these only matters if the show is actually good.

for monster it would actually work quite well. it would end around the first real introduction of johan, which would work really well as a hook.

Some would definitely benefit from a 90-minute premiere, but I feel most would run the risk of boring their audience before the end credits roll. So no, I don't think every anime would be popular with a 90-minute first episode.

the problem isn't the fact that you think oshi no ko stinks.

you sound like a pretentious elitist because of this part:

and anime fans are like dogs - they pay attention to stinky stuff.

you can say oshi no ko sucks... not every popular show is good, and not every good show is good in everyone's eyes...

but saying THIS makes you sound elitist. maybe you didn't mean it that way... but I'll assure you that's how it comes off.

this is not about oshi no ko.

It's like my 3rd favorite anime in this season. I'm not exactly a fanboy.

saying anime fans are dogs who get attracted to smelly stuff, does come off as saying "I'm better than everyone else"

judging my your responses, that's not what you meant. but do you really not see how that comes off like that?

I mean, by this logic the guy who I quoted is also wrong because Kimetsu also sets its plot in the first episode.


yeah thats the thing.

the oshi no ko one is not just a set up, its a entire arc leading to a major character death that is also a set up on top of that.

I think 90 mins long first episode is the trick to making any Anime popular and successful ..
Seems like it right?
Shield Hero season 1 has a long first episode.
Oshi no Ko was a two film though, that had me tripped out, but it was good af though.
Those are just 2 examples, but despite the unusual episode length, I believe it all comes down to story-telling and art that's not an eyesore.

It's funny that people are using this forum to trash on Oshi no Ko. The original questions doesn't make sense on the first place. Maybe the anime will gather a little more attention because of the length of the first episode, but if the source material is bad, it will not magically transform it into a good show. Oshi no Ko has an amazing prologue that is the perfect fit for a 90 minute 1st episode. Add that to a very unique premise with amazing voice acting and animation, you naturally have a recipe for success.

Reincarnation stories are the last thing that can be called a "very unique premise"

I don't mean the reincarnation part, its the context surrounding all of it. *SPOILERS* The guy reincarnates as the son of the idol he basically worships (along with a former patient of his) and then she is murdered and he starts a revenge quest looking for the true culprit. That kind of sounds like a unique premise to me, but I don't know, maybe there is an anime with a similar start.

variation in the reincarnation theme does not make it unique

I don't think so, the factor is clearly somewhere else.
