| eh episode. not bad but not too good either. this was just the setting for the current season and intro of new characters so its fine. seems like it will pick up from the next episode. i wanted to see ruby and others. too soon to judge but still i'll say this episode didn't have any of the charm of season 1. will wait and watch to see if it improves. |
 The end of an era. Thank you Wit, Mappa and Isayama. Feeling half happy, half sad. Kawaii waifus and precious best girls <3333 |
| The beginning made me feel like, did I open another anime by mistake? Turns out they were just showing theatre play. The entire episode was about the theatre play and their acting. Ruby had a monologue at Ai’s grave. Aqua is focused on his goal, as expected. Kana is doing well since she met Taiki, because she matches acting according to her co stars. Akane on the other hand, wants to best Kana, but is struggling with understanding her character. The mangaka comes to the sets of rehearsal, and after witnessing their acting prowess, decides to get the entire script rewritten. It was so funny, and I could relate with the mangaka. If there were good actors, then the story had to match up for it. |

Rorek said: hard rate this episode because I fell asleep halfway through hahaha xD you'll have to re-watch it then ! |
| Ashamed to say that even as a manga reader, I forgot what was going on. Where are we and why are we? Seems I have a lot of catching up to do. |
 |
| Okay, the first episode of season 2 was a bit boring, but I'm sure it will get better in future episodes (that's why i read manga, isn't it?) I was waiting the whole time to see the scene where the mangaka wants to rewrite the entire scenario that the scenarist wrote, lol. |
 |
| Now my least favorite arc begins and sadly for me this arc might be more than 9-10 episodes long or maybe much longer. I wish private arc would come sooner. |

| An amazing way to reintroduce Oshi no Ko! I loved the beginning where it felt like we were in the audience for the play. The moment where Kana performed to the max was beautiful and had amazing art design. I could feel all of the intense emotions being put into this performance, and it had my full attention for the entire episode. (9.5/10) |
| We are so BACK!! Kana Arima acting was FIRE!! 🔥🔥🔥 THE VISUAL GOING INSANE!! Thank You Doga Kobo 🙏 5 days of rehearsal and the author want to change the whole script LMAO WTF bro. |
 |
| Bit of a boring start but im sure it'll pick up soon. |
 |
| Arima is so cute 有馬かながとても可愛いね。 |

| Nothing special... The only interesting part is Kana and the new megane dude acting, and the appearance of the tokyo blade creator. Opening is fine but the ed.... Not my taste... The first season OP and ED are greater. |
 |
| Of course the begin of a new arc is a bit slow, but man, the animation and art... PURE C I N E M A |
 |
| my favorite akane is back ngl i hope this tokyo blade author stays bc he/she seems pretty cool |
  |
| It will be a shounen show, it would be interesting if in an anime about idols and actors, we would get a fight that would be better than those in some shounens xD I wasn't really waiting for the second season, but this thread seems interesting. Akane the best girl💙 |
| Akane with long hair and that social shirt wake up something on me... I liked a lot the ED theme. OP was fine. |
| AI lives?! why she is at the end of OP in crowd :O |
| (づ￣ ³￣)づ ちゅっ ちゅっ キス (´｡✪ω✪｡｀) I hate it when anime/manga that I enjoyed ends, especially when there could be much longer plot and when I love main heroine :P I wish I had magic glasses that let me see real world in anime colors ;) |
| A good start, I like how they are presenting the stage play by suddenly intermingling it's character during their interactions. Love the Opening song, Tatsuya Kitani with another banger! |
 |
| The mangaka wants to change ....ALL!!! kekeke |
YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! BEST GIRL AKANE IS HERE!!! SHE'S SO CUTE!!! My boi GOA the GOAT is here!!! Abiko sensei is here!!!! MELT-KUN IS HERE!!!! AQUA's BACK!! Yo the scriptwriting and directing and animation for this episode was PHENOMENAL!!! Holy shit. Doga Kobo is like trying to compete with Madhouse! Goddyamn! WE ARE SOOO BACK!!! |
| I'm a little late but sheesh we are back with more Oshi no Ko. The OP is a real banger, both the animation and song lol. No one-hour first episode this time around lol. We got a lot of playing with colours which is cool, contrasts with the background and all that good stuff. Akane was cute all pouty in that one moment too lol. |
 Never ending plan to watch list... |
| How is the writing THIS good already?! |
| Lovely art as always and the animation is solid as always. I find that I don't care about the idol stuff too much but the stage play dynamics between the actors are interesting enough. However the most important thing for me is them solving the mystery. Akane looks gorgeous here as always. |

| woah the visuals are so good |
