Review of [Oshi No Ko]

Critical: Covering a wide variety of bizarre yet very real circumstances in the entertainment industry, Oshi no Ko is a crash course on the idol, internet, and creative talent culture—stripping away the illusions of blissful stardom and focusing on the darker interactions between entertainment and society. Although its dialogue-heavy scenes have a heavily moralistic tone to them, the show is wrapped under a very strong premise, presenting its characters with great psychological complexity and morally gray motivations. Though a majority of the season seems like a lull to what the first episode was offering, it stands that the show's intentions are clear and beautifully showcased, alot of moving parts setting in place for more exciting conflicts and revelations to come.

Personal:
I don't want to say it's simply a set-up season, but if you're not really interested in the showbiz aspect, then a lot of this will seem like fluff. I'm personally waiting for more developments regarding the whole reincarnation and big mystery, so I hope the next season is more exciting in that regard.
