Both series delve deeply into the entertainment industry. Oshi no Ko explores the darker side of the idol and acting world, while Girls Band Cry centers on the struggles and aspirations of an all-girls band trying to make it in the music industry. The characters in both shows are portrayed with depth and complexity, often dealing with personal traumas, societal pressures, and the pursuit of their dreams, which adds a layer of emotional intensity to the stories.

If the stage play aspect of either shows was something that you enjoyed about it, I definitely suggest the other. Mars red has a far more "stage like" presentation as a whole, with it's story telling and even dialogue at times being similar to what you would see in a Shakespeare drama script, while oshi no ko dives into the creation of a stage play from the producers perspective, and does a fantastic job displaying the peak of modern theatre presentation. Both in their own way bring an aspect of stage plays to life in an authentic way, so if that seems interesting to you, check  read more
