      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.

    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.

    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.

    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

    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 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.

    The show absolutely would not have worked if the first episode was not 80 minutes. Had it been the standard 20 minutes, the twist would’ve been revealed in episode 5 or 6, which would make tons of people who otherwise would enjoy the show, drop it thinking it isn’t what they’re into (just like how you dropped the manga). It also just doesn’t work as multiple episodes since, as the show states, it _is_ just a prologue, it isn’t the main story. Had it released in 20 minute episodes, they would’ve taken up half of the episodes, leaving barely any time for the actual story. Overall, making ep 1 so long was easily the best decision possible.

  • @bertrandkane9678
    @bertrandkane9678 Рік тому +2

    I dropped it immediately after the twist because it couldn't make up for how awful the writing was. Hell, the writing pretty much ruined the twist by having Ai explain her sad back story followed by her saying "I sure hope nothing bad happens!" moments before it happening. I can see why they needed to make the first episode 90 minutes, for as little impact as the twist had, the latter half of the episode was way better than the first. The first 20 minutes were just abysmal and borderline unwatchable for me.

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. :)

    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.
