| Like the other idol shots they went hard in this episode. The girls singing, the different angles, Aqua's dance. It was perfection. The cat fight too that was spicy. I was just like Aqua I was so afraid. They both showed such vicious sides of each other. But cool we will see a play next season, can't wait. This was a solid series. |
| Probably my AOTY. Absolutely loved every second of it. |
 |
| great finish. the start and end to this season were incredibly strong. they did lose me quite a bit for the middle 3-4 episodes where it was pretty mediocre and even bad at times but i think overall it's a pretty good first season. excited for more |
| It was good and had many enjoyable moments, EP1 to me carried like damn that studio didn't fuck around but rest was pretty good as well |
| I love the explored themes (lies vs truth), the setting (Because I'm interested in communication in media as a subject from multiple perspectives.) and the characters+ I hate love triangles that are producing shipping wars because they're distracting from what the story is actually about...and most often than not, just bait for drama in order to make those who are oblivious to the thematic messages to keep watching...=I loved the series thus far, but the ending of the season left me with mixed feelings.... So....if Vinland Saga was criticized by some for not providing action given the story's message, violence is bad, Oshi no Ko will possibly be criticized for not offering romance? I hope it will not be the case because I prefer a good story than my favourite character getting a romantic partner... |
 |
| That was a really fuckin good season. Like this is some masterpiece level shit right here. Studio Doga Koba really knocked it outta the park with this adaptation. B Komachi's performance was so nicely animated and sounded tremendous. Not to mention Aqua's sick moves. Looks like we've already gotten a confirmation on season 2, so that means it's time for the Tokyo Blade arc. Really pumped to see how this turns out! |
 |
| My only complain is the lack of Ruby on my screen |
 |
| I don't think it will be controversial to say, that Oshi no Ko peaked at episode one and kinda fell off later. This whole Komachi-B resurgence arc was completely uninteresting for me. I'd rather watch Aqua looking for Ai's true murderer. Him being basically sidelined was the worst thing that could happen. Easily the best OP this season. And ED probably as well. Strong 8/10 overall from me. |

| One of the worst anime in modern history |
| Never thought I could ever actually enjoy an Idol anime... Good slice of life are always above and beyond other genres ♥♥♥ |
| wow that idol performance was so well animated. Good to see Kana get the love she deserves too! 10/10, can't wait for long haired Akane :3 |
 |
| While I do hate that this episode is rushed cause Mana's part is cut out, I do love the anime-only scenes that made it to this episode (as well as setting up the next arc as well). Studio Doga Kobo is cliffhanging its viewers so anime-onlies can pick-up the manga. Studio Doga Kobo stepped up its game with the dance and song animation on the debut concert of the revived B-Komachi. And Kana is a firecracker as ever when she saw Akane! (My initial thought: wait...they know each other...What???) Can't wait for Season 2 of the anime!!! |

| WE ARE STAR T-RAIN!!! BANGERRRRRRR. now that was a great season through and through. songs slapped, opening was a banger, animation was great and the quality never dipped. doga kobo went above and beyond with this perfect adaptation. even the voice actors killed it. the concert looked amazing as well and i'm glad best girl arima got her moment. ruby was insane as well though. next season is already announced and this is great cause the 2.5D theatre is my favorite arc in the manga! i can only hope doga kobo's quality doesn't drop, either maintain or get better. no idea how long it'll take but we'll stick to the manga for now. solid 9/10 for me, really no complaints. anime of the year contender for sure and arima girl of the year so far. |
 |
| I really enjoyed whatching this anime. This final episode had everything the anime propoused to be: idol, drama and comedy. One of my favorite animes ever. |

| Solid written show that sadly feels like it needs to be sustained by the pillars it mocks about. I wondered what would be the story main focus after the first episode, and now that the first season ended I can say it's just a love triangle with two girls that had little to no reason to fell in love with MC and Idol stuff. Criticizing the media industry feels like the afterthought. Not sure if the author was scared his series wouldn't succeed without those elements or the opposite (he knew it would succeed and it's mocking the manga/anime fans as a whole). Even the MC persona after episode 1 feels created just because he knows ppl love edgy characters so he forced this persona into him. Anyway, I don't think those elements are deal breakers, nor take away the moments the show manages to shine, specially episode 1 and 6. However those elements definitely block any chance of being "one of the best" let alone be considered a masterpiece. 8/10 is a pretty suitable score for this. |

| The new B Komachi really put out a huge show there, they will make it far. Kana was a little bit sad since no one looked to her and she also had a terrible past, i mean even her goddamn parents ditched her, wow. At first not so many people waved the white glowing stick but do not worry because ye boy Aqua came into the rescue with all 3 glowing sticks lmao, what an madlad. Supporters then also began showing love towards all 3 of the girls. After the show they head home and it looks like Kana & Aqua talk again. That expression on Mem-Cho though haha. Akane got a new job opportunity and she's stoked to work with Aqua again. Kana is now like a magnet towards Aqua and Aqua gets pissed lol. Raida made a huge success with his manga/light novel so he rented out a whole cinema that spins but he needs actors and who is the best person to ask that for, ofcourse its Masaya. Akane & Aqua out eating ice cream while Akane posting pics publicly on Insta. Kana is there to give Akane a pep talk, yeah they both still don't like each other. Goodluck Aqua with those two, its gonna be rough lol. They both don't wanna lose. That glance in the past when Ai died, that was a sad one. Now that Aqua has scored a place at the Lala Lai, he's one step closer to the truth. Amazing anime and adaptation. See you in Season 2.  |

AkiFosu said: This is some pretty low-tier bait. Try harder.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. |

| Ehhhh? I was expecting some kind of cliff hanger T^T |

(My initial thought: wait...they know each other...What???) Can't wait for Season 2 of the anime!!! Thank you for pointing this out. I was searching if anyone mentions this in this discussion. I really did wish they either adapt chapter 39 completely or cut Mana out completely, because now it only shows her as just an idol otaku only and not much depth on their perspectives. It was most likely to just add those anime-only scenes like you mentioned, but I rather have the anime elevate the other scenes, instead kind of half-ass ing Mana in there. |

| I can't wait for the next season! ..even tho we'll probably have to wait quite a lot for that |
| We! Are! Star! T-rain! Check! Now! Come on! Come on! Come on! Come on! What a phenomenal anime. Totally worth all the hype. Definitely a roller coaster of emotions. It started off strong til the end. I love the progression of the characters. B-Komachi has made their debut in Japan idol festival. They all had a spectacular performance. It was a bit too fast pace for me, but I was loving every moment of it. From Ruby's idol smile to Aqua doing the idol dance for Kana Arima. Such an iconic moment. Then the rivalry between Kana and Akane. It was *chef's kiss.* The Tokyo Blade play is going to be an amazing arc. Can't wait for season 2. Had an absolute blast watching this. |

| What an Incredible Debut Concert!! B-Komachi went out with a bang!! Kana and Akane beef!! LMAO i like how they teasing us with what's going to happen in the next arc. Overall this was one hell of the emotional rollercoaster Anime i have ever watch. That Episode 1 was absolutely INSANE!! 9/10 Looking foward to Season 2!! |
 |
Although they didn’t adapt the performance of B-Komachi properly like manga and scene where Kana flashed back about her dark past & her reaction towards Aqua when she saw Aqua did that for her..i still feel quite satisfied cuz I got to see that move from Aqua 🤣🤣 But yeah, scene of Kana said “I’m gonna be your star” is better in manga 🥲 |
| The thing that caught my attention the most about this episode was Aqua at the end, when he said he would find his father, but nothing about killing him. Is his mindset changing!? Absolutely legendary show, I'm so excited for season 2! This story literally changed my life. Common Aka Akasaka W. |

Piromysl said: This show being hailed as one of the greatest things ever has to be just a giant case of gaslighting. Especially when truly PHENOMINAL character driven stories like Vinland aired this exact same season but no one talks about it. OnK is like a 7/10 at best but could improve if the pacing actually picks up and stops baiting with the main overarching plot every 5 or so episodes. I don't think it will be controversial to say, that Oshi no Ko peaked at episode one and kinda fell off later. This whole Komachi-B resurgence arc was completely uninteresting for me. I'd rather watch Aqua looking for Ai's true murderer. Him being basically sidelined was the worst thing that could happen. Easily the best OP this season. And ED probably as well. Strong 8/10 overall from me. |
