Review of [Oshi No Ko]
Actually, I don't watch idols-themed anime, and this is my first Idol-themed anime with accidentally I started watching it because I thought it will be detective-themed with minor idol story. But the truth is Idol-themed with some detective story. With all bad and good reviews from other people, there is something missing from the reviews. This Anime has very good budget, planning and marketing. How good this anime is planned? Check this short review below... I don't read manga, but sometimes I checked the anime-manga adaptation progression and reading minor spoilers. Oshi no Ko Season 1 ends very well. It ends with people wondering "When Aqua-Rubi know eachother backstory?".
The last season of Oshi no ko Season 1 and the latest version of manga has same release date (diff +-1 day). And that biggest question is answered on that manga chapter. Yeah, it's me, I frequently jump to latest version of manga only to know something without spoiling the information to myself XD. And this "planned co-incidence" is very good.
Graphic: 9/10
It has high quality of art style, design, etc. But unimportant, boring, useless small talk, and some minor scenes have low quality of animation.
Music: 6/10
BGM is good, opening and closing is quite good, the song sung by characters/idol not good.
Story: 6/10
Some story can make you broke or sad. Not 100% happy ending. Don't watch if you don't want to be sad at all. Some comedy does not make you laugh.
Themes 7/10:
As I mentioned above, major theme of this is anime is idols-themed anime. If you don't like this theme, you will not like it. The mix theme between detective and idol is unique and worth to watch. But I expected the anime has more story about MC revealing the bad guy, but the progression is very slow, and I think it will consume 2 seasons + 1 movie or 3 seasons.
Characters: 8/10
I have no issues with the characters; each one is unique and has their own personality. However, the MC's prologue is somewhat boring and cliché. But careful, some people hating Ai for some reason, the way of introducing Ai is very mixed feelings, sometimes it makes like her or hate her.
Voice Acting: 10/10
Good, the animation and voice acting are matched perfectly well.
Conclusion:
I want to rate it 7 (floored number) but because it has a good "planned co-incidence" it deserves 8 (rounded number).
