Review of [Oshi No Ko]
NO SPOILER REVIEW An anime that was booming during the release of its first episode, swiftly claiming the number #1 throne in MAL. I mean, how can't I be allured to binge this series. A drama-psychological series written by the author of Kaguya-sama is indeed mind-blowing. Gotta gives him some respects for managing to write a completely different genre from the fluffy romance of Kaguya series. Psychological, nailed; drama, nailed. Manga's art is undoubtedly exquisite and detailed. It all depends on the studio on how to animate it. Surprisingly enough, Doga Kobo, which is known for creating mid-anime (I would say), perfectly adapted and animating the series.BGM and SFX is on-point as well. Not to mention, we got YOASOBI for the OP song and Queen Bee for the ED song, both of them are in my playlist right now. Character developments are unreal, in fact, I would say that is the main selling point of the series. How the MC's, MH's, and side characters' personalities shifted throughout the series.
What I like the most is the story itself. It depicts the reality of entertainment industry, what is actually happening behind the scenes, the truth of life of celebrities, etc. Therefore, it will surely make viewers become more engaged. In other words, the world building is perfect, not too slow and not too fast.
Sadly, for some reason, I don't have the excitement when I was watching other series (I know I cannot compare those series). Nevertheless, it is still an enjoyable roller-coaster ride of emotions. I did not cry at the first episode. Comedy is there, mystery is there, suspense is there. Overall, I would give it a solid 9/10. Looking forward to season 2 as there will be immense character development there!
