Making the first episode 90 min was probably the best decision i lot of people would have dropped the show if we could have only gotten the twist in ep 4 or 5
Fr it was a great premiere/marketing strategy
It payed off so much for them,everybody is talking about the show now,both in Japan and the world. It hit the top of most seasonal popularity pols and is growing faster then foocking Demon Slayer on MAL,if the hype keeps up it might surpass is for a couple weeks until DS takes it back,oh and it’s also top1 on MAL,not for long tho since the Full Metal Alchemist mafia is already working on it.
There's no rule saying anime episodes always have to be 24 minutes long
@@rolandkarimdesucatan5118 fax
Unless if there are people who dropped the anime for the first 30 minutes or worse the first 3 seconds of the episode 1 and called it a day, making the first episode 90-minute movie long is actually a wise decision
Masked Man really had a moment where he was close to getting to the good part but then left for years and to come back. 😂 very relatable
This was exactly me
People:
Characters getting killed in an "idol" series = the good part

When it comes to this one show?
Objectively, yeah.
@@azumag4432 man don't even watch the anime 💀
@@azumag4432 in the context of oshi no ko? Yes lmao
This is the reason why it was a genius move to adapt the first 10 chapters as a movie length episode. I like the content of those chapters a lot but a lot of people would have dropped off if it took multiple episodes to get to the main hook
"main" character dying (getting killed) in an idol show = **NOW** I like it

You might like normal idol shows, but none ever produced was ever anywhere near the sheer level of quality of Oshi no Ko.

Well, good for you.
Recently learned that Rie Takahashi was a fan of the manga before she was casted to play Ai and she couldn’t believe when she was chosen to play the character that she liked so much,that explains why she poured all her soul into bringing her to life. This role was personal,from the cute,to the wholesome,to the heartbreaking moments everything she played was from her own feelings she had of the character and it shows,man…she definitely is one of the biggest factors of why people fell for Ai so bad.
Rie Takahashi is a national treasure
Every character Rie voices becamed ICONIC and also CHARISMATIC, see how popular becamed Tomo last season and Megumin with her spinoff. Rie has the voice that would be on the same level of Koyasu Takehito as iconic roles
I mean it shows she pulled off her death seen the I love you part had a lot of emotion
@@il3fortunato664 Don't forget Emilia from Re:Zero. That was her real big break.
Yeah everyone is watching it.. but WHERE THE F DO YOU WATCH IT???
The beginning of the video is literally a textbook example of stopping right before reaching diamonds 💀
@NecOwOArc hope you don't get reincarnated as a child of your favorite idol.
@LeDonKly
Love you're profile pic . It's iconic. I know the Anime and I love it. :')

You thought I was another slice of life anime but sike
No it follows basic Isekai revenge arc logic
The anime went, from 'psychological' to 'slice of life' to 'psychological' to 'tragedy' to 'revenge' in one single episode

I was hoping you'd check it out and I'm glad you like it! My personal favorite thing about it is how well it handles trauma(specifically survivor's guilt in the character of Aqua) and how it really allows you to relate to the characters even though the plot is somewhat surreal.
Dude this is one of the hardest scenes I've had to watch in an anime. The way AI was captured in death still burnt in my mind. The way the light leaves her eyes was so heart wrenching.
not many people mention how Ai responded to the stalker with positivity. "Even now, I want to love you". While the stalker was filled with negative emotions, Ai never got mad or consumed by hatred. She was truly kind.
Honestly, from the moment I heard that this anime was from the same author as Kaguya-sama, I was pretty sure that it would be a great even before I watched it. Oshi no Ko, in my opinion, was a shock and a hoax this season. The author made you think that the anime is an idol and a comedy anime at the beginning of the story, but by the end of the first episode, everything turned upside down. And it changed from a comedy anime to a revenge anime. This plutost was more than amazing and this is definitely the best new anime of the season for me.

Revenge plot straight up goes on the back burner and it basically is an idol anime.
Dude, i thought so too, and I cried when Ai died, and This is my first Experience in anime that like this, so am unprepared, I read novels a lot too, that's why it will be understandable if this have twist, cuz i have read many things, and now this anime got me hook cuz of that
@@Hiro99 did it though? It’s not as much of a focus as it was originally but it has been picking up again in the recent chapters
@@qwart22 Yes it definitely did. I won’t argue that there’s finally some focus on it again with the recent chapters.
Not just same author, its literally in the same universr
I'm so happy you're covering this series. Its top tier, breaks the mold, and very few new series really come close to the way Oshi No Ko goes about telling its story.
I know it is so good. Loved your shorts on it
yes
Ayy
Yeah that first episode was absolutely *WILD* - this anime will most likely be one of my top 10 favorite animes this year
top 10? more like top 3
Broo it is already my favourite this year and if they maintain this quality then it is going to be my one of the most favorite animes of all time
You could have talked another 20 minutes on her death scene. Watching the life leave her eyes. How she apologized to her killer. How she died holding aqua in her arms. How Ruby was just on the other side of the door not knowing what's going on.. there were not many animes that affected me as much as this scene

@@IndianMeme_Historian another reason why internet is being a mistake for most people.
@@IndianMeme_Historian This has to be a joke.
Most gamblers quit, right before they hit the jackpot. You aren't the first victim of this, nore will you be the last.
Mistakes are always forgivable, if one has the courage to admit them.
The way that they portrayed social media is absolutely outstanding
The way you pronounced OB-GYN made me giggle. It’s said just like the letters, so “oh bee gee why en” is how you’d pronounce that!!
Apart from that, stunning video, I always love hearing people’s reactions to the twist, especially when they dropped it early on.
Genuinely one of the best starts to a story I've seen so far and they couldn't have made a better decision than to release the first episode of the anime as a 90 minute movie. To be perfectly honest, if we didn't have the revenge set-up at the end of the prologue I would've been perfectly content with the 90 minutes we got as a tragic standalone movie about family and give an almost perfect score to it. Now, I have to live in constant fear to see if the quality manages to keep up or not (so far it has), and for some reason this is one where I actively don't want to read the source and just let myself be taken along the ride of the anime first.
If you want to read another slice of life that gets into the darker sides of showbizz, try Act Age if you haven't already cuz that's a banger too.
Now, what do we learn from this? Don't drop stuff too soon and continue until you are absolutely sure you've seen enough to determine that you actually want to stop.
So, when's the Pandora Hearts video coming? xD
The anime has some of the best pacing in recent memory, I waited for it after the prologue ended and I'm not disappointed at all.
It's so well made I don't see any reason to go back to the manga
"Don't you dare complain about spoile- SHE DIES." That made me laugh way too hard bro😭
Just caught up to the manga and my god is it amazing. The mood spikes up and down every few chapters and the art and plot twists are amazing. Didn't take me any time to start loving it, but it also gets progressively better as it goes on. Has to be one of my favorites now.
The same thing happened to me. I dropped around ch 5-6. Man one the anime deaths to make me cry. Others include Lelouch and Koro Sensei
115 chapters that I managed to binge in 2 days. God damn im so fucking excited for the rest of this show.
1 day for me...and damn my mood is fcked
binged in one sitting
Glad to see I'm not the only one with self-destructive reading tendencys.
Dude when I tell you that this video Aged worse than Concord did, It’s honestly EMBARRASSING!!!
It's a disservice to yourself to *not* go into Oshi No Ko blind. The prologue both on manga and anime has probably the greatest storytelling ankle-break I will ever see
I read it literally a week or two before the anime was announced now I'm heartbroken
The doctors reincarnation into the Idle is the worst idea I’ve seen💀
The first episode was so long exactly so people don´t stop before the twist
My favorite part about Oshi no Ko is how in depth the characters and their relationships are, as well as general commentary about the entertainment industry. I feel like the ‘revenge’ aspect is just a driver towards the story arcs, but it has fueled many great parts of the overall narrative.
"SHE DIES" the scream make my day XD.
The cool part about this series is after you read the amazing beginning it turns into a completely different series that has nothing to do with it. It's 2 in 1!
its still an idol anime with slice of life and comedy (though thats not the sole thing)
"Dont you dare complain about spoilers, SHE DIES!!!" shit got me dead😭
i started reading the manga right after watching the first episode, i'm at chapter 101 rn and let me tell you honestly, with little to no spoilers, that in my experience the entire manga is somewhat like the first episode in a sense. most of it is idol/entertainment industry stuff and the rest is progressing the plot around aqua's revenge.
just wanted to let you know for anyone expecting a complete tone change after the first episode, and for it to become a pure revenge/mystery focused plot, it's not really like that.
for those who are also somewhat invested in aqua and ruby's journey in the entertainment industry, you will probably have a good time reading this manga.
and of course as i said they will be progressing the plot around aqua's revenge and there will be more twists and turns around that, so if you can enjoy both sides of the story, i'd definitely recommend reading the manga.
I was in the same position as you, I read the first couple chapters until the babies starting talking. I dropped it thinking it would be stupid, but I was wrong af
Anime comes out
Masked man: reads the Manga
Maybe he is sus
they really nailed the 1st episode, they make sure we got too attached to Ai before they take her away
I’m thankful I didn’t get spoiled for the twist, it hit me hard
Nothing more relatable then dropping a manga a couple chapters in, coming back years later and realizing that the manga was great😂
Bro I'm wearing earphones and had increased the volume cuz you were speaking softly the you suddenly screamed she dies and my ears exploded lmao
The most impressive thing about this, is the fact that studio doga kobo out of all studios is animating it
Doga Kobo has always been one of the best studios animation-wise. Obviously not on par with the likes of Ufotable or KyoAni, but still very underrated. All their works are polished and well animated.
@@norwa3518 Yea but they usually animate cute moe slice of life shows, if i'm not mistaken this is their first dark/serious show
ye bro same, i was completely wrong about this manga aswell, me personally, i think thought this manga was gonna be one of those super-hyped up ones were eventually no one would like, but the story progressively gets more intense, and more thrilling, the characters were all lovable at some point, but what got me was the art style and the plot, this is just my opinion, Thanks man!! Hope u enjoy ur read.
The twist had me completely shell shocked ngl 💀
An absolute masterpiece. Cant wait for more episodes in the anime and more chapters in the manga
I started reading Oshi No Ko when it had about 12 chapters so I was just left with depression.
Friends have been recommanding me to read the manga for months but while I loved Kaguya-sama, I have z profound distaste for idol culture, so I really didn't expect this to do it for me but DAMN. Having watch the first episode I binged the whole manga immediately. This series is absolutely insane.
1:18 I think you mean an OB/GYN: it’s an acronym so you just read it out. It means an obstetrician/gynecologist
That 1st epidode caught me lacking to the point were i binged the manga in 1 week. This is one of the few times that a 1st episode of an anime leads me to do that💀
And it was totally worth it, peak seinen if you ask me.
I've been waiting for this video. Episode 1 of Oshi no Ko might be one the best debut of a series I've ever seen.
I remember you talking about this, so I read it up until Chapter 102, and I was hoping you would give it another shot.
bro is literally me. also dropped after very few chapters, said "I might continue some other time" and then when anime came out, decided to see it and damn.
ALSO I dropped exactly like 1 or 2 chapters before the twist.
That first episode was a trip. It'll be interesting to see if it holds up
Asa Asasaka casually making peak twice 🔥✍️
umm actually its aka akasaka 🤓👆
@@sketanor no starting today its asa asasaka
@@sketanor sorry I have chainsaw man on my mind
crazy twist is, the mangaka started on this when he was struggling to keep up kaguya-sama's release schedules, basically drowning in over work
the first episode is the single best thing about the show as i understand. the way it goes from an incredibly interesting and exciting story about an idol with children, and then IMMEDIATELY sinks into the basic "vaguely harem show with an op protaginist" is absolutely unmatched. 10/10 would watch the first episode again only
Even knowing what happens to Ai, I still got my heart torn apart by the end of the Episode. I can’t believe it hurt that much.
obgyn? lmaooooo he gotta be trolling
I'm glad you finally came around to like it, I dropped it after the twist, and then started reading it again before the anime aired.
Oh also I got lovely little fantasy adventure manga I found it's pretty recent with 12 chapters but I forgot the name.
Story is about ram looking giant magical beast adopting the heir of a kingdom he destroyed. And the story then follows a broken hero as an advisor and an adorable prostitute as the babysitter.
I will try and see if I can find it in adventure section again, I forgot to bookmark the manga and now I'm.suffering.😭
Props to Akasaka for making two consistently great manga. What a legend. And I heard he's already started a third one!
A 4th one actually
The OB/Gyn you said for the doctor is actually obstetrics gynecology. And yes, it actually concerns with birth and prebirth care.
Same reaction as yours lmao I died crying never thought that she is gonna fucking die i mean it was soo unexpected. The rage in your voice bro that scene I just thought it was some delivery or something not the stalker 😭 I can't wait I eont usually read manga but I wanna stay anime only
When my friend read me the description I was like “huh? That’s weird yucky yucky!!!” And the I watched it then I was like “woooow that was amazing!!!”
Manga spoilers ‼️‼️
I really hate how people are saying Ruby is more smart than Aqua, yeah she is getting her villain arc now but people are now just saying that she is better than Aqua, when she figured it out through alot of help and very recently but Aqua did it much faster also Ruby's mental age is much much MUCH younger than Aqua's, so I dont like how the community is basically saying 'Ruby is better than Aqua' and the only reason Aqua missed something was because he needed a break
At first I thought this anime would be a normal idol type series with the MC being a female idol and all
Boy I was wrong…
When she died I said huh it’s a slice of live she really got the slice of her life
At first I thought nah this is messed up, I thought the story will be around Ai and the doctor. Then I was wrong again when I thought it will be between Ai and her children making their way to be the best family of idol kinda like slice of life and fun. I am now in a debate whether should I read the manga or just wait every week for a new episode in Netflix.
I was also expecting a slice of life not a slice of heart.
True man..my moods gonna be fked up for few days now🤧😟
glad you gave it another shot. but when is the 40 min hells paradise video
Hopefully this week
Where the fuck is my slice of life comedy Aka? Where is my happy Ai? Where is Ruby playing with Ai? What have you done with it Aka?
Honestly bro first episode make sense but after next episodes are just much much boring specially conversations 😢
Goosebumps after that whole first episode. Fuck had to smoke like 3 cigs just to process what I witnessed I loved it more than any first episode of any anime I’ve seen in a long time
I actually dropped it after the "twist" only because I was super bummed. but I may try going back into it.
i just watched the first episode yesterday and i ended up crying so much afterwards that i could barely sleep
When I started to read it at the jump app I kept going just out of curiosity, cause of the entertainment industry stuff, i was so surprise when it happened and soon after the anime was announced, so I told about it to my gf and managed to keep it a secret from her till the anime release just so I could see her reaction, it took almost a year but it was so worth it.
@Masked Man I actually wanted to read this Manga for sometime. I just haven't gotten around to it. I'm gonna marathone it tonight. Damn the Anime came out much soon for it's source material than I was expecting oof. I need to catch up to this Manga and I need to finish/read alot of Manga lol. My list is long .
Dropping it on chap 8 is just BIG OOF
I heard rhythm thief music in the background of this video, so immediately subscribed
The first episode was kinda information overload but it set the story all and good
To be honest, when I read a quick summary of the story I thought it was weird as hell and didn't want to watch it. But when I found out that one of my favourite VAs, Rie Takahashi voices a character in the anime, I decided to give it a try. Best decision of my life
Just an fyi in case of future videos; Gorou is pronounced like "Goro-u", the u sound is just used at the end of the "Ro" sound.
The anime hooked me with Ai's death especially the eyes going darker with the light leaving the eyes and the way aqua has his eyes go darker the art is so good
I didn’t know it was from Kaguya-sama’s author, so I had no expectations from it. Perhaps because of that, I had an inkling that it would delve into the more dramatic aspects rather than focusing on easygoing slice of life.
Regardless, ever since I started reading it, it’s been my favorite manga of any ongoing run at the moment.
When the twist happened I was like "Damn, cute anime got hands"
Atleast ya didn't put the scene in the thumbnail heh. So many people do that. I'm like guys! Let people be surprised! :P
From what I gathered without watching or reading anything it looked like madoka magika but with pop idols. Something about those eyes scream existential horror
Would see the hype in the Manga community a years back or smthn and did'nt get why are people getting soo hyped over some idol shit and then this year checking the anime made me realize it wasn't what i thought what it was.
Once I heard to that it was from Aka Akasaka, I was sold. I'll watch anything based of their work after the blessing Kaguya-sama has been. Glad I wasn't spoiled, as that twist rocked me, and the animation was horrifying.
@The Masked Man
Three things lol. I need to see the Anime Heavenly delusion and it also has a Manga which I didn't know oof. Also have you heard of Ghost In The Shell ?and if so, what are you're thoughts? Because there's countless Manga, and Anime adaptations of Ghost In The shell. I'm still watching the Anime Stand Alone complex for Ghost in the shell. Also do you like 80's -90's Anime or Manga? Cause I'd love to recommend you some really cool older Anime series/Manga. I also like some 70's Anime. :)
They did good with the adaption as if they went ahead with 4 chapters in then people might have dropped it. I read first few chapters of manga and dropped it then picked it again from the start and read till 15 so then I realised things building initially and then it just smacks you in the face, same thing happened with anime.
If you thought that twist was late, you should read the Fuuka Manga. It's absolutely one of my favorites and the twist happens like 30 or 40 chapters in.
3:45 bro my ears god I have to go to the doctor now because of you thanks
Caught up to the Manga in just 1 day, gotta say it's worth it, can't wait for tommorow's chapter
how do you know when the chapters come out, is there a website or something that says when they come out?

Ob/Gyn is short for obstetrician/gynecologist. Usually pronounced by sounding out the letters OBGYN
I was WAY more surprised by the doctor dying. I totally saw Ai's death coming for some reason, so I wasnt surprised at all. Dont get me wrong, I was already hooked before Ai's death so I didnt need the shock factor, but thats what makes me wonder why some people like this youtuber needed the twist to actually care about the story.
I feel the introduction so much the plot twist hit me hard
"SHE DIES!!!!" - proceed to play pain's theme song
I keep saying to myself with how sad this anime is, its not real.. its not real.. its not real.. I will cry to sleep again tonight..
I liked that the first episode was over an hour definitely kept me interested
Hmm, perhaps i should pick it up again. I read the manga up to where the twist is and a little bit more and i just dropped it. Perhaps it gets good later on
😂 I kinda started reading the manga like a year ago but got no where. And then I watched the anime. And realized part way through it was based on the manga I had dropped a way back. And now I need to pick up the manga again.
