I mean it's alright...
~~~I started reading Oshi no Ko around 2 years ago but dropped it after a few chapters as I wasn't very interested. Not too long ago the anime came out and the first season just finished so I thought I'd share my opinion on it. It's gonna be a fairly short review and will include __SPOILERS__.

I have a serious bone to pick with Oshi no Ko.
To be clear, I don't mind that Oshi no Ko is s bad show. Bad shows are a dime a dozen, its not special in that regard. I don't even mind that it's a bad show that got absurdly popular. Again, not an uncommon occurrence, I've learned to live with the po…

There is no doubt that Oshi no Ko was one of the most popular anime this season, and it’s easy to see why. There is some realistic commentary of the idol and entertainment industries, especially the dark side, which made fo…

*[Oshi no Ko]* is a series caught within a bizarre Catch-22 as an actual piece of entertainment. It wants to follow the comedic and dramatic conventions for storytelling that Akasa…

"Oshi no Ko" blew up the internet with its explosive, artistically ambitious premiere, setting the tone for a series that *finally* dives into the murky waters of the entertainment industry. As someone who craves more idol industry critiques, I was excited to give it a try. However, throughout the f…

To be honest, I'm a bit of surprised about writing this review, since "Oshi no Ko" is deffinietly not one of my favourites and it's already very popular, so there's no need for further promotion. Though, something about this series keeps my thoughts around it all the time, so I decided to share them…
Read full review on AniList →A perfect adaptation that more or less surpasses its source material in every way
This review will be about why _Oshi no Ko_ works so well as an adaptation, not as a story. I won't be talking about the quality of the plot or characters, only how the anime improves upon them compared to the already fantastic manga.
By far the most important part of why I think the anime is better…

Firstly, I'll try to remain neutral and objective by developing several key points of the anime in order to analyse it correctly and give a proper review.
Then, I'll recount my personal experience and share my f…

This WILL truly be one of the most influential shows ever, NOT just in its characters, animation, and story, but the message the show gives is EXTREMELY influential and can be very motivational.
Let's start with the thing that's the most exciting, the animation: i…
Read full review on AniList →The hype is warranted--the standard set by the first episode is kept up until the end
To say that _Oshi no Ko_ was the anime to watch for Spring 2023 would have been an understatement. The first episode, which was feature-length at 82 minutes, was quite possibly one of the best first episodes of an anime I’ve ever seen. Of course, with around four times the time to air–_Oshi no Ko_ h…

Oshi No Ko is the worst anime to ever beat Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood on My Anime List. In recent years it's been beaten by the likes of Frieren (great!), Kaguya (amazing!), Chainsaw Man (wondrous!), Your Name (beautiful!) and Demon Slayer Mugen Train (sure). All of these are properties that…

Lies. Who among us hasn't told a lie or two? Whether it's telling a white lie or presenting a false version of ourselves. Celebrities, actors, musicians, and artists must constantly maintain a public image, which may require telling a lie or two. As a famous idol, Ai Hoshino's life revolves around l…

Let me start out this review by prefacing a few things:

- This anime is my favorite series bar none, there will definitely be bias in this review, a…

Did the hype die down yet? Now my review won’t be another copy of everyone!!

Idol anime as a genre has always fallen quite flat for me despite only really dipping my toes into it.
