[Oshi No Ko]
Oshimeter
Synopsis
Gorou is a rural gynecologist with one guilty pleasure: he's a devoted fan of teenage pop idol Ai Hoshino. When fate puts him in charge of secretly delivering Ai's twins, things take a sharp turn: Gorou is murdered by a stalker, only to wake up reincarnated as one of Ai's newborn children, Aquamarine, with all his adult memories intact. His twin sister Ruby, it turns out, has her own past life and connection to his previous one. That's the setup, and it all unfolds in a jaw-dropping first episode that runs feature-length at 90 minutes. From there, Oshi no Ko peels back the glossy surface of Japan's entertainment industry: idol culture, reality TV, social media pile-ons, the machinery that chews people up behind the scenes. Doga Kobo's animation nails the contrast between the sparkle of stage performances and the quiet ugliness lurking underneath. The tone shifts between genuine warmth and something much colder without warning, and that tension is what makes it stick with you. If you liked the psychological unraveling of fame in Perfect Blue, or the way Re:Zero uses reincarnation as more than just a gimmick, this hits similar nerves but from a completely different angle. There's also a melancholy running through it that fans of Your Lie in April will recognize. It's an 11-episode TV series adapted from a seinen manga, and that first episode alone is worth your evening.

I Love IT.
What a plot, didn't expect that she's gone from the story. I wonder how the things going for the story after this eps
Very good anime it shows the dark side of the entertainment industry
Why hoshino ai died it only the first episode gang
good anime
Tellement triste quand aï meurt a la fin de l'épisode et trop mignon quand il font la dance au début les bébé mais moi j'aurais tellement voulu avoir les mêmes yeux qu'aqua
The art is very unique one. Since every anime has that “anime” kinda look. It's getting boring and that's why I like this anime art style. Sadly I don't like the ending because it's weird even if ur crush was reincarnation as your brother, you can't just that him. That's weird.
Oshi no Ko Season 1 is one of the best anime of 2023. It's a bold, emotionally devastating, and thematically rich story about the cost of fame, the nature of lies, and the lengths people will go to for revenge. The premiere is a masterpiece. The supporting cast is excellent. The soundtrack is iconic. It's not flawless. The middle episodes drag a bit, and Ruby's character development is underwhelming compared to Aqua's. But these are minor complaints about a show that otherwise operates at an incredibly high level. If you haven't seen it, avoid spoilers at all costs. The less you know going in, the better. And if you have seen it, you know exactly why it's worth recommending.
If you were to ask me what would be the most impactful first episode of an anime, it would be the very first episode of "Oshi no Ko." It does play with a bit of the supernatural, with the reincarnation of a doctor and his former patient as the twins to their favorite idol, Ai Hoshino, the atmosphere can still get emotional as you see Ai, as a teen mother and active idol, try to remain positive and upbeat through it all. This episode also heavily focuses on the dynamics of the Japanese entertainment industry, and you see Ai, being a teen idol first and foremost, also pursue acting and modeling, which comes with the job in real life as well. Eventually, you also see how Aqua, her son (and the reincarnation of her former physician), also enters the industry as a child actor, and how in turn, how competitive it can be through Kana, who wants to be a successful actress herself with how seriously she takes it. You defenitely see Ai and her children getting quality support from her management as they pursue in making her a star. Unfortunately, tragedy strikes as Ai is murdered by an obbsessive fan. Aqua then deduces the only person who could've known where they live and about the birth of him and his twin sister is his father. Assuming his birth father might also be in the entertainment industy, he decides to become an actor himself in search for him and have his revenge. I say if you're looking for something that has its ups and downs, the first episode of "Oshi no Ko" certainly doesn't pull its punches about it. If you want humor and tragedy, then you're going to get it. If you want some music that will pump you up, then get your glowsticks ready like an idol otaku!
EP! is the peak of the series despite being premiered for over 90 minutes, and some dark secrets behind the Japanese Entertainment Industry is unmasked every single time as the story progressed. every emotion in this season is perfectly executed. especially YOASOBI's IDOL just perfectly explains Hoshino Ai's journey since debut and her peak idol days
Good...
Not gonna lie, I really disliked Kana before. But watching this episode really made me realize how complex and multi-dimensional she is. It also makes me happy seeing the bond between the new B-Komachi members, teenage friendship sure is fun. 9/10
The first episode of this anime was truly shocking and impressive. Ai Hoshino, the main character who appears cheerful and cute, actually harbors a lot of sadness within her. When she expressed, "lies are a form of love,"
I wasn't even remotely prepared for this plot. I never thought it would hit me so hard.
Yes. I love yoasobi and Queen Bee. I do simp on Ruby Hoshino btw
Di episode 1 saya di bikin nangis karena di durasi 1jam 11menit 45detik karena hoshino ai harus terbunuh
Peak
absolute idol
Love it😍😍😍
I loved this anime who just recommended my son🥰🥰🥰
