Part of Oshi No Ko feels pointless

For anime onlies it does feel pointless so far imo.

exactly, i never understood why it couldnt have been that they were judt smart kids?
people are sayig that the plot was important for the parts we've seen and in the future but it really was not relevant at all in s1 and if its only going to be relevant for one arc then scrap it completely and give up the one arc. no point in it if its only gonna be applied once

(also the childhood amnesia point can be dismissed by the fact that extremely traumatic events can still be remembered despite being very very young under 4yrs old. your mother dying while she holds you is probably very traumatic. and if the amnesia was a problem then they could have written it so that the kids were a bit older when she died)

I'm an Anime-Only viewer and there certainly is a part of Oshi no Ko that feels pointless, but it's not the reincarnation bit; I initially started watching what I thought could be a compelling murder/mystery show, but instead has devolved into a commentary about the daily operations and the tribulations of the Entertainment Industry. If I wanted to learn about stage acting, I'd go read Wikipedia. Two episodes dedicated to a supporting character's demands for rewrites and an inability to communicate well? Bo-ring. I only keep watching because people say it's going to get exciting. But I'm thisclose to dropping this show because I just don't know what it's about anymore or what it is aiming at.

Reincarnation part is just lame bait to hook the audience. This is just generic idol/school anime with some plot in the background.
Another visual hook are stupid star eyes. And finally, title starting with "" [] means it's listed at top of any alphabetical order lists.
It's just anime/manga designed with very clever tricks to get popularity. (The only thing missing is isekai and OP power level of MC)

I have read the Manga, and I will say just wait and see but let's talk about what Anime covered

Without reincarnation, Aqua's revenge not gonna happen, cuz he didn't know the stalker before so he wouldn't connect the dots and Ruby would a boring annoying 1 Dimensional character

The director wouldn't have taken a liking to Aqua, since he would be another dumb kid (sure he might be smart compared to other kid but what the heck can you even expect from a 3 years old),

and likely Ai's truth will out (they are 3 you can't expect them keep their mouth shut). probably Ai wouldn't have called their father because she didn't overheard Ruby's crazy theory about Ai not needing a man to give birth to them



and as you can see this creates way too many plot holes

@Sammyg921 I would say just wait and see, the reincarnation plot gets more and more important as the story progresses, and there's also Japanese mythology involved, this video https://youtu.be/eHAL1l6HzfA explains it, though it does contain spoilers, so you should watch it after season 2 ends.


There's also the fact, , I don't think it is much of spoiler, but putting it the spoiler tag anyway since it's spoiler and will most probably covered in this season

yeah it could have been like act age, and focused on the entertainment industry,

but the the isekai plot is probably there just to catch people's attension,
its sad though, i didn't get to that part, but the manga apparently fucks up and becomes deus ex machine with magic stuff later on,
and becomes less and less grounded in reality which sucks.

Uhhhh, Isekai and reincarnation aren't the same, and what? where did you get that information? the Manga is good and there is no magic what are you even talking about

if they weren't reincarnated then Mikayo would've betrayed Ai and then maybe she wouldn't even die, the reincarnation part was crucial to the plot

Put a spoiler tag

also I and many people liked that part, if you want something realistic why watch Anime, go ask people about their lives, you are not going to have fun if you enjoy anime based on how realistic they are, most aren't
