Review of [Oshi No Ko]

I’m gonna say it loud and clear; Oshi no ko is a masterpiece, It’s a MUST watch, it’s the first anime that might get a perfect score from me (I always write the summary before the objective calcification), believe me, you have to watch it. I keep trying to think of something bad about it, something to point out, but there’s nothing. The truth is that the summary here in MAL doesn’t describe the anime In the slightest. The story, plot, characters, art, sound, songs and (specially) intro are all amazing. This is one of the anime that gives you depression after it’s over becauseit’s so good that you can’t find something on the same level.

Sorry if I sounded like a crazy fan, but I strongly believe that this show deserves this much praise. After this lies my objective review, I won’t be specific about anything to avoid spoilers.

Please avoid spoiling yourself on the internet, don’t ruin this amazing experience.

A) WRITING: 50/50 PS

1. Story (15/15)

Perfect, I know that I sound like a crazy fan, but it’s true. This is very close (If not in the same level) as the story of famous anime like Attack on Titan. The mystery, the slice of life moments, the emotional moments and a lot more that I don’t want to spoil makes this a fourteen out of fifteen. Another important thing is how original it is, believe me, you have never watched anything similar, given how much anime exists, this is something VERY hard to do. For that reason this deserves an extra point, that makes this a fifteen out of fifteen, a perfect score for the story.

2. Plot (15/15)

All the events feel right and there isn't any deus ex machina. I would love to say a lot more, but everything would be a spoiler, so you will have to trust me here. (You can always watch the anime and find out for yourself)

3. Characters (20/20)

There are characters you love, characters you hate, and characters that you never mind at all. Every one of them does their job perfectly. Even if some parts of some characters might be a bit generic on the surface it doesn’t matter because in this show all the characters are 3D (they have depth in their personality). Their actions are justified by their backstories, and everyone feels like watching real humans, something that most anime don’t accomplish. Lastly we have character development. There is a LOT of it and it doesn’t feel rushed.

B) ANIMATION: 30/30 PS

4. Art (20/20)

The art of this anime is something else, both animations and backgrounds are done perfectly, the artist has a special ability to make eyes extremely expressive, and you really feel like some characters have a soul. (You will understand when you watch)

5. Sound (10/10)

I’m not going to give explanations, just search “yoasobi idol english version” (or just yoasibi idol for the japanese ver) on youtube (I recommend watching it before and after episode one). Did you watch it? Well, that masterpiece is the complete version of the opening.

C) PERSONAL: 20/20 PS

6. Quality Consistency (5/5)

The quality is maintained throughout all the season,

8. Episodes worth watching (5/5)

All episodes are worth watching.

9. Enjoyment (10/10)

My soul demands more of this, and yours will too after you watch it.

FINAL SCORE: 100/100

PERFECT SCORE!
