I felt weird and like I was reading someone's sick fantasy. Maybe I need to power through it but the show felt like it had a VERY SPECIFIC audience it was catering too.

I'm Baffled, loss at words, & holy shit that outro song is now my favorite piece of music with that whole ass movie packed behind it, it's just so... Fitting... And not to mention this anime episode 1 had an entire soul & spirit of emotions. Honestly every second of this was fueling the fire that is my passion for God given anime, but it's more than just an anime. Like, fictional? The fuck you mean it's fictional, this is as real to me as anything else. Honestly my favorite single piece of media & escapism ever, right above 'Jack Stauber’s OPAL | adult swim smalls' & 'Intruder Beats Up Your Boyfriend [ASMR]'.

started watching because it was on this random Roblox game "better anime," and it lost against Soul Eater. The concept is insane, but this anime is really good. better than soul eater? idk( i don't remember much about it as i watched it a long time ago) but the characters of Oshi no Ko really draw you in, and its absolutely beautiful. plus the intro song is amazing.

Now that's how you do an anime premiere! 10/10 concept and execution. I've always heard about how twisted relationships between fans and those they support can get. Glad to see an anime tackle it, and with such beautiful animation to boot. Also it feels refreshing to see someone get reincarnated with their memories and not end up in a fantasy land. It's definitely a unique take that i am here for!

The rise and fall of Ai the star idol, the prologue, is now over... I'm excited to see Aqua's revenge tale begin.

I think I've been accidentally spoiled about what happens to Ai but didn't know the details. It hit like a train.

Also another life, rebirth theme was unexpected, pretty interesting.
