Okay seriously, this adaptation is amazing.
When i read the manga i remember tokyo blade arc is the least enjoyable for me (still good tho), so i dont have high expectation for this s2 since it adapted that arc.
But holy shit i really loves this adaptation. Doga Kobo really overdid it, the visuals, the voice actors, the directing, all brings the story into the next level.

What i love is that there are some adjustments in the story that didn’t fit the manga chronologically, but it works well bcz it made the anime’s pacing better than the manga
Also the anime brings akane’s personality more fleshed, i liked her more now than when i read the manga

The people working in this anime really did wonder adapting Oshi no Ko manga into anime, as good as what the OnK cast did when adapting Tokyo Blade into the stage play

All anime is better than manga. You can like the art all you want. Anime is objectively is always gonna always be better. I don’t need to read this to tell you that. Especially since it’s oshi no ko.

God, I didn’t read the manga, but just going into this raw dog, I was excited from each scene. It really showcased the characters especially purple hair dude scene (forgot name) and went in depth with each characters background, and the history of their past which made them who they are.

And the ending scene with Aqua, I got chills from just the voice acting alone, not even the visuals. After that arc, it got slow until end of anime episode lol

Imma give the manga a try but I’m gonna stop at the end of season 2 just to compare. Overall, good flashies for my low attention span brain lol

Oh, you think I should read better manga? Sure, let me just call up the Manga God real quick and ask for their recommendations. clearly, the hundreds of chapters I’ve invested in are just garbage—guess I’ll just hide my manga list from now. You know what? While we’re at it, let’s just rewrite the entire industry to meet your standards. Maybe next time, I’ll just read the manga you like, so I can experience true enlightenment. Oh wait—no one asked you.

My first manga ever was Tokyo revengers, I’m not gonna go back and read all the popular stuff, I’ve already watched everything you could name that has a anime adaptation.

you don't need to be a Manga God to understand that not all anime are better than mangas.
There are some anime which, thanks to the production, have surpassed mangas expectation like demon Slayer, oshi no ko, erased... but something like Berserk, Tokyo ghoul, Slam dunk, Kingdom, Ao Ashi aren't even close.
There are some mangas that cannot be adapted cause it's too difficult to reflect their greatness in an animated form like Goodnight PunPun or 20th century. You have the example in this season (Uzumaki).
It's obvious that if you take oshi no ko as example anime is better cause the animation is pumped asf.
You watched a lot of anime but didn't read their manga, I'm sure if you read more your ideas will change

Calm down yall, i thought this topic already deleted since mal posted it twice

But really, only some anime are better than the manga. Only few top anime that got big budget and production effort each season that had the chance to be better than the manga. Either that or the manga is too trashy or low effort (for example some 4-koma adaptiation)

And if the manga is already very good (like oshi no ko), it’s even harder for an adaptation to surpass it.
This topic was posted as an appreciation for the OnK anime team for supassing that.
