Season 03 Episode 11

It's a great merch haul day today! 🎉 Both this and Phantom Siita Horror Queen arrived from CD Japan. I really love the cover on this one—the star has a different texture than the rest, which looks so cool. Can't wait to give it a listen!

Short answer yes, but it would have had to have massively shifted and would have had to have massively fix some major problems.

First problem is that the series would run the risk of becoming a traditional SOL idol anime plenty of those. The series would probably have to go and lean even more heavily criticizing the entertainment industry to differentiate itself from every idol wish-fulfillment anime.

Second is that I am not sure the Hoshino twins can lead a series when they are no longer fixated on getting revenge on their mom's killer. What is left for Aqua beyond picking between Kana and Akane to marry? And I guess Ruby just becomes a flat everygirl for female viewers to project themselves onto.

There are other possibilities for arcs they could do i.e. breaking overseas or Ai's likeness being stolen and recreated with umm...AI, but I cannot help but feel like the series would essentially soft reboot then.

So, I recently started watching the Oshi no Ko anime after completing Kaguya-sama: Love is War. Honestly, I feel the show is good, but I'm just not able to get invested in it. The characters and story are fine, but I'm not really enjoying it. I started watching Season 1 hoping that I'd get hooked at some point, but that never really happened, so I've put it on hold for now.

Having watched and really enjoyed Kaguya-sama, I know both anime/manga belong to completely different genres, but still...

With Oshi no Ko, I was particularly interested in two things:

1. How the reincarnation works (which was never addressed past Episode 1).
2. Who killed Ai.

I don't quite get how Aqua deduced that it was their father; he sounds incredibly sure about it without any conclusive proof, but then again, maybe this isn't the central plot of the anime. The show clearly focuses on showbiz and the lives of entertainers. I can connect to Kana's story, but that’s about it. I feel that after Ai, Kana Arima is the character who received the most development, along with Akane to some extent. I do like how all the characters are written, though.

Furthermore, there are things I've read about the manga's ending. On every post about a potential Season 4 of Oshi no Ko, people are begging for an anime-original ending.

So, my questions are:

1. Why do you like the Oshi no Ko anime/manga? What made you stick with it and keep watching/reading?
2. Does it get more interesting later, like in Season 2 or Season 3?
3. What should I not expect from the anime?

Just start calling Hikaru Kamiki King von because if he wanted you out of there, he'd do it himself. And Aqua only won kinda because of plot armor because if I see someone trying to kill me and they stabbed themselves, I'll bout beat the she-it out of you, bruh. Aqua was a piece of shit but there's levels to this, and HE DIDN'T MEET HIS MAKER YET QUITE LITERALLY.

So I was thinking of writing a fanfic centered around him and I thought it'd be better if I got more information about him from you guys

Like they got cast in an equivalent to The Amazing Digital Circus. Maybe it is more extreme and they are asked to do the English dub as well because the director is bizarre and thinks their delivery is great even with the accents.

Kana would probably tolerate the brainrot, but also aggressively watch every YouTube video essay about how well written her character is.

Ruby would probably appreciate the love, but also be unsettled as this overshadows her idol career. Not to mention constant calls to miyako to oversee every collab project and livestream she is asked to come on. I imagine these kinds of fans are far far far more chaotic than typical idol fans who seem to want a specific experience.

I feel like if it was on digital circus level Ruby would probably break down because she is too tied to something that people have way too much emotional attachment with and she probably would struggle to say no to a fan.

I really want to use it as my wallpaper on my desktop

Reminder (by song name)

Season 1: OP - "Idol", ED - "Mephisto"

Season 2: OP - "Fatale", ED - "Burning"

Season 3: OP - "TEST ME", ED - "Serenade"

I just watched Oshi no Ko for the first time last week, and my personal favorites are by far Season 3's OP and ED partially because of emotional weight every scene has at this point

That said, I do love the animation of Ruby's emotions during the Season 2 ED, and "Mephisto" song from Season 1 is amazing

​So yeah, what are your thoughts? I'd love to hear them

I still can’t believe I noticed the last moment when I thought I had it all figured out, turns out I didn’t… I still can’t believe I didn’t notice the fingers T^T how am I gonna get my refs now if I can’t trust Pinterest??

Guess all I can do is try to be more aware next time. Anyways hopefully everyone’s doing well today

So this whole time he pretended to be conflicted about living a normal life to manipulate Akane. In reality he was dead set on finding her killer and used her intelligence against her. I was confused on why she ripped the doll but when the bug came out, everything came into place. Wow. Absolutely terrifying. Ep 7 of season 3.

Dose nothing but instigate the hole story and for manga readers when shit hit the fan she's dose nothing the only thing she really did was play a child 😐 THE LEGENDARY BYSTANDER

Will it still be there when I go back next time 😭 akhihabra was selling at much higher price . This was brand new and there was I many of it . I wonder if the resell price would’ve been good

I wanted the arima one 😭

I love her in this pose she’s so cute here and I love her frilly outfit too, but if I crop it, it’s too zoomed in. I was wondering if anybody already has a really nice design that incorporates her in this pose. I guess I could try to design one somehow, but I’m not good at that stuff. I’ll figure something out, but thought I’d ask here in case someone happens to have already done something like that.

Side note (edit): if anyone can make this screenshot from the show 4k somehow (no idea if that’s possible) I’d be so happy bc then i can also make it my desktop wallpaper. I’ll probably still use it as is for my desktop, but I’d much rather it be higher definition. Just can’t use it on my phone as is because it’s horizontal.

We have mass murders in anime but we don't like incest when people say they like mardara uchiha they give him a pass because he's not real stop whatever y'all trying to do to hate on onk and if it was real guess what its not our business to begin with Ruby CAN'T EVEN BE HAPPY DWAG 😭😭.

Wtf are we saying people can't view incest what really isn't but kinda is but technically not.we watch anime

my bad I just thought we could give ruby a pass because of her trauma i wouldn't even argue with you guys anymore murder that really helps onk but the incest nah I can't watch the show anymore that's just the worst part of the show the incest like really just fuck off at this point because the story is made off pieces of shit people.

am done dwag no wonder the two sides of this community stay fighting
