Oshi No Ko

To be honest, before I started watching this anime I read the story synopsis and glanced through the genre and I was sure that this isn't my cup of tea and I wouldn't even up completing 2 episodes of this anime but DAMN I was so wrong and I m so glad I was. This anime adaptation did so many things right from animation to story telling, right pacing and other intricate things, really kept me hooked till the end. And Cheers to opening and ending songs, loved it. I m beyond satisifed, "AARIGATO" to everyone involved in its making from manga to anime, its a masterpiece. Looking forward to Season 2.

I have been reading the manga since it's release and I was instantly hooked, thus becoming a huge fan of the series. So I am happy to say that the people at Doga Kobo have perfectly captured all the feelings I had while reading the prologue and somehow more. There is truly very few ways I can describe these emotions I have. The best way to understand these feelings though is by watching this 82 minute masterpiece of a prologue! I don't just recommend watching this episode, I demand it. So what are you doing already? Go watch the first episode Oshi no Ko and experience what me and many others felt for the first time.

Personally when I first saw this anime, and saw it was getting popular and I thought: "oh great another weird looking anime getting popular". But one day I decided to read the basic plot description, and I thought, like most people would... it sounds weird. But then as a joke a decided to start watching this. First off a 1 hour first episode seems weird, but it was worth it. Second, with out spoiling anything... the plot summary is a tad bit misleading. And third and final, I may or may not have watched this all in the span of 1 day cause it was so good. Basically I relearned the lesson of: Don't judge a book by its cover (or should I say anime)

I can't think how should I explain it but it has everything of everything it is loving, entertaining, eye opening, lil bit of shonen vibes, daily life, slice of life, thriller, mystery, it also depicts the reality of the entertainment industry and how idols are made and what problems they face. I have how everything is show so smoothly I never felt bored even for a second as if I was hooked to it and there is also about how peaceful are babies life. The whole episode had a meaning means even though in the middle we forget about what the story is and get engaged in other stuff but the end really pulls us back and shows us the big picture.

The thing is that I have seen a lot of anime and by lot I mean around 200 anime series and movies both counted. I have seen different types of genre of animes. But even after seeing a lot of popular anime with best storylines and direction, hand down this takes place in my top 10 animes easily even after I have only seen 4 episodes. This is a true masterpiece anime of 2023 that just came out of nowhere and mark my words it will take place in top animes of a lot of otakus who watch anime for its story and direction not just for a single type kf genre.

Watch it you won't regret it untill you have a biased mind for new animes, trust me.
