[Oshi no Ko]
When a pregnant young starlet appears in Gorou Amemiya’s countryside medical clinic, the doctor takes it upon himself to safely (and secretly) deliver Ai Hoshino’s child so she can make a scandal-free return to the stage. But no good deed goes unpunished, and on the eve of her delivery, he finds himself slain at the hands of Ai’s deluded stalker — and subsequently reborn as Ai’s child, Aquamarine Hoshino! The glitz and glamor of showbiz hide the dark underbelly of the entertainment industry, threatening to dull the shine of his favorite star. Can he help his new mother rise to the top of the charts? And what will he do when unthinkable disaster strikes? (Source: HIDIVE) Note: Episode 1【推しの子】Mother and Children was pre-screened in advance in Japanese theaters on March 17, 2023. The regular TV broadcast began on April 12, 2023. The first episode has an extended runtime of ~82 minutes.

Read full review on AniList →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.

Read full review on AniList →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.

Read full review on AniList →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.

Read full review on AniList →Oshi No Ko is the worst anime to ever beat Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood on My Anime List.

All of these are properties that…
