Manga '"Oshi no Ko"' Gets TV Anime

Yes doga kobo keep getting W mangal but they keep making L adaptations for them.
Hope this is different

This is timely since I just checked out volumes 1 and 2 of the manga from the library！

Except he's not a middle aged man

This looks so cringe and weird.
The fact that the protagonist is a reincarnated middle age man is bad sht.

doga kobo, huh? it sure is an interesting choice of studio. i can't wait to finally see akane animated though

One of the most talked about manga on the internet, it was obvious that it would receive an anime. Looking forward to your debut.

I will answer your question - there are indeed good manga that can be adapted and that's exactly what Doga Kobo just announced.

the synopsis is too weird for my taste , also this 'teenage pregnancy' tag is disgusting
no the kind of stories i can enjoy so i'll pass

good for the fans

It's still an idol series. Like that one said that calling Vivy as an idol anime but it is an action at the same way. If they were misguided, then let them be because Oshi no Ko was introduced that way, and it's not the end of the world. If that's so, they should promoted it as an psychological mystery supernatural drama edgy shit in the first place, but it was not. The two authors actually said it in the first place that it is an idol and performance arts theme. The way the misconceptualizing the whole thing makes Oshi no Ko "more interesting" in a sense. Do you think that likes of Doki Doki Literature Club and Madoka Magica wouldn't be successful if they didn't introduced It's still an idol series. Like that other one said Vivy is an idol but yet it was mainly an action show. If that's so, the authors should've promoted it as a psychological mystery edgy drama shit in the first place, which they didn't. They were misconceptualizing the whole thing that they advertised it as an idol and performing arts story to make the it "more surprising and interesting". I think that's the risk they took because those kinds of themes/story are hit or missed. And jeez, if they not like the concept, just let them be. It's not the end of the world. Shows like Osama Ranking, Fruits Basket, Evangelion, or others were like it were introduced that way, but there were something more to its parts. Let me ask you, do you think that the likes of Doki Doki Literature Club and Madoka Magica would be successful if they introduce its true nature? No. It's the same shit in Oshi no Ko.

And if you're saying that Eiko can be an idol, how come there's no idol tag in Paripi Koumei? So if I'm a famous singer all over the internet and I have a concert, so I can be an idol too?

Okay man thx for clearing up lol

50% is egregious considering the number 1 complaint is "bro why tf is Ruby irrelevant at all times". Like I said, no, it's not an idol series in the musical sense yet. They cut to it occasionally for a tenth of a chapter.
The rest of it is character drama and acting plots. Calling it an idol series, is actually just misguiding both Idol series fans, and non-idol series fans. I would never go "oh hey, you like Love Live? Try this" lmao. It's completely different and barely focuses on idols.
It just "starts that way" and even then focused way more on acting at the start. Literally sets itself up for the acting subplot.
Like, sheesh if your memory is that skewed please reread it lmao.
Its honestly 70% acting imo. It's an idol series, to about the same capacity as dress-up darling is about magical girls because Marin likes them and cosplayed one once.
And if you want to go there, Eiko in Paripi Koumei is a portrayal of a more western music Idol. Which still makes her an idol.

Yo wtf happened to this thread? The manga was mid anyway.

Looking forward to this tho.

But still, Oshi no Ko is an idol... right? Just like you said, all those shits about entertaining in the industry can consider in idol culture and it's still different in Paripi Koumei's case. I don't defend Koumei but I can see it can't be consider as an idol show, which seemingly I asked on my first comment.

In Oshi no Ko's case, I can estimated it as let's say, 50/50. 50% for the part that Ruby wants to be an idol and 50% in Aqua's case involving the acting. Hence in your statements and one of my statements earlier (Oshi no Ko is a combination of Love Live, Kageki Shoujo, and Skip Beat, with a edgy yet pretentious shits that were ridonkeylous at some point), it's still an idol show/manga. You can see that in the initial premise of the story. And if you want me to give a different perspective on the manga that "it's more than just an idol show", it's decent. But nothing special, nothing more and nothing less.

I mean it is an idol series, in the traditional sense.
Idol culture has never just been Japanese girls singing.
Everything from actors and models to youtubers and heck even waifu culture is idol culture. Most of current society is framed upon idol culture.
But it's not an idol series the way people think it is when you say it like that. Theres a distinct lack of actual musical idols in the thing, though of course the anime will likely expand upon it. But the first two major arcs are a blurred line between acting and reality, and more acting.
It may very well become more idol (in the musical sense) later. But as it stands now, it isn't there yet.

Bruhh... Did you saw Yokoyari's statements about the announcement that this is still an idol show? And if I say about the show actually,

And if they plan to remove the "misconception" about the idol shits, the authors should actually say

And stating "just an idol" doesn't mean the show is bad. Idk where did you get that because I was saying that Paripi Koumei isn't an idol anime ffs. Tbh, Oshi no Ko was decent, but most of the scenes were seemingly pretentious, forced dramas, and ridonkeylous at some point. It's realistic, but I don't think it's dark either. Because some people had their common sense to begin with, I think.

If it's mostly a show about acting that can be related to Oshi no Ko, it would be Skip Beat. But there's an obvious idol related stuff in Oshi no Ko so it may counted as an idol anime. Yokoyari confirmed it with his statement about the announcement. And if you see some drawing characters that are singing, not all that can be related to idol. Because it would be very stupid, like you said.

doga kobo don't let us down, goodluck we're leaving oshi no ko in your hands

Doga Kobo animating it nice, I hope the manga gets a physical release here soon.

As another just mentioned.
Like Paripi is about music in general, Oshi is about the entertainment industry in general.
Which was my point. If Oshi can get lumped into an idol label, Paripi meets that same criteria. Of course, it would be stupid to lump Paripi into something like that. The same applies. 70% of this series (obviously just a rough estimate) is acting. Which you would think would put it closer to an acting series, no?

That's still besides the point though

Oshi no Ko isn't just about idols...Rather it's a critique on it first and foremost. Another thing is that if we really want to get technical, this series is more about the entertainment business in general inside of Japan (Live action TV shows, Stage Plays, Movies, Dating Competitions/Reality TV, Child Actors, Directing and so on and so forth)

But even then, the main thing with this series is that its a dark drama/murder mystery with a bit of supernatural elements mixed in too. Saying that Oshi no Ko is simply just an idol series is so far from the truth that I'd have to wonder if you've even read it in order to make such an extreme surface level description of it
