[Oshi No Ko]
| Spoilers ahead for seasons 1 and 2 of the anime. |
| I don't feel that way at all. I don't think this is a pacing issues for you, but rather a plot issue. |

wasn't it like that in the manga too? that's why I didn't anticipate the stage play arc because everything until they went back to takachiho felt off
| @P0300 I don’t know, didn’t read the manga. I was planning to start after this season ended so I guess I’ll discover for myself whether my issue is with the pacing of the show or with the story. |
| they're pretty consistent about adapting 3 manga chapters per episode so if the story's trundling along that's a problem it inherited from the manga |

| From the examples you gave, I think it's mostly a disconnect from the story they're trying to tell. There was definitely an intensity drop after the Tokyo Blade play was finished, but it felt quite natural since it was to be expected after the climax. But there was also a different tenseness from the suspense of when will they reveal that his father didn't die which made the moment at the end of ep 11 have more of an impact. I think you can argue that Ruby's dream to meet Gorou felt suddenly blown up and deflated this episode, but they've been dropping bits regularly to remind us of how important he was to Ruby, and the reveal of her choice to name the group as "B-Komachi" to meet him again also pushed the narrative that she couldn't get over him. One thing that did feel off to me was the convenient timing of going back to their hometown. As well as the full drop of Gorou's backstory which felt jarring even if it was consistent with ep1 and helped to contextualize Aqua's feelings towards parents and revenge. |

| @Quadruple_Oi Yeah, I guess what bothered me was the amalgamation of little things like you mentioned. Here’s an episode focused entirely on the back and forth between the Tokyo Blade’s creator and the stage play writer perfecting the play. And then here’s Aqua’s full pre reincarnation life story crammed into 30 seconds. Little things like that. |
| I felt the pacing of Tokyo Blade arc was kind of slow, but afterwards it's just perfect. |
No, this isn't my signature. |
| I don't read the manga, so I can't say anything about it in the context of being an adaptation, but nothing feels rushed to me. |
| Didn't like pacing in first 8 episodes of S2, to slow and not important. The girl seems like shinigami. crows etc seems sje is not human, but some kind of deity or smth She is mystical component also we see her im town know for it's mythology. We see her outdoors among crows, which lead Ruby to Gorou\s corpse. The crow or raven also the metaphore for the soul. In mythology considered as both the solar hero and as a messenger of death. It aslo may mean that in near future, events will occur that will lead to a large number of deaths. |
