Review of [Oshi No Ko]

Freshly right after finishing the last episode - I'll be honest, I don't know how to feel. So let's analyze each aspect. 1. Plot: This is the main point that unsettles me. On one hand, we have a rather toxic entertainment industry and fandoms mixed with the regular lives of rising stars. But on the other hand, there's this thriller-kind-of-feeling, mystical moment of being reborn and remembering past lives. It might seem thrilling, but I felt lost while binge-watching the show. 2. Art: This is a straight masterpiece! No comments needed: the colors, the animation, the fluidity - everything is on point. 10/10 3. Music: I feellike this is standard for such kinds of shows, so the OST also had no misses.

4. Characters: This is another aspect that gave me mixed feelings. It felt like in order to show the depth of the characters, anime creators had to add traumatic pasts to each of them: as if you hadn't lived through suffering, you are not an interesting person to observe. While surely it might be true to some extent, in this particular case it's felt far from the truth, artificial even. Not every character needs tragedy to develop - that is solely my opinion.

Basically, to get the gist of it I surely have to watch the second season. The problem is that I don't want to proceed with shows, that weren't at least 50% successful to lead me to the point.

Would I recommend watching it? Probably yes.
Will I watch the second season? Yes, I need to find the answers
Was I satisfied? Surely no
