Oshi No Ko Ep 1

ahh yes, a nice wholesome story

Comments

Man I had no idea yall checked this out. This show is gas from start to finish, and the animation on the eyes literally made the industry step their game up. They asked the chick who drew them if they could animate them not as colorful and she said, nah, keep it in.

MuteSpittah

"yeaaa, you about to just come back to life? That's not how that works.." Ayooo, look at Lupa knowing the secrets of the universe! XD

Dud3 itsj3ff

This plot TUFF. Hope he don’t pussy out when it’s time to run the fade

JotaroDrake

LOVE AND JPOP😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

JotaroDrake

God, that one star in his sky then its gone in a blink. That killed me.

The_Loyal_Sif

Their dad is definitely Leonardo DiCaprio. Blonde bigshot in the entertainment industry with a penchant for uncomfortably young women.

Austin Yun

wow I never thought about that, but that seems completely obvious now in hindsight

dash12321

when you understand you're dead, it's completely natural to try to get all your final thoughts and regrets out. this is the end, there IS no other chance you will get. especially considering all of ai's life was about her struggle to find and understand love, her realization that she truly, genuinely loved ruby and aqua was a huge final comfort for her. remember, shock is also rapidly setting in, and her ability to think clearly is rapidly deteriorating as well. I can't imagine the grief she experienced knowing she can no longer do anything for her one and only true loves, but at least she found some comfort in realizing her biggest fear, that she wouldn't be able to genuinely feel with all her being that she loved her children, was unfounded in the end.

dash12321

christina grimmie was also quite a high profile case, she was on the rise in her career too =( people are sick

dash12321

Megan fox *a single tear rolls down her cheek*

The AI idol girl is voiced by Emilia in rezero as well

L.C.

1:10:50 AI’s lines there were not just personal to her circumstances or abandonment etc. I found them perfect for many idols in the industry. Imagine John Lennon saying something similar when he got assassinated, it wouldn’t feel far off. (One of the accusations of the fan that killed him was that he’s hypocritical, that he sang stuff like foregoing possessions in Imagine while the industry milked fans for profits and he mostly lived a comfortable lifestyle. Such stuff is a perennial paradox for stars and you may even say for human beings as a whole.)

X

The child is voiced by Rudeus' VA, in case it wasn't obvious

Arc

@Ec Aea well there’s a good reason most people dislike when older people sleep with young people, when you’re still a teen your brain is underdeveloped and you can easily be taken advantage of. Especially in situations like this where there are even more obvious power dynamics. Morals are imposed on people all the time, it’s called THE LAW, and it can be changed if enough people speak up about it.

GraffitiTurtle

@Ec Aea Exactly. At 16 your life has barely started yet.

Eliana

I nearly quit watching thinking it was gonna be a creepy old dude and an teenage girl, then about a creepy reincarnated baby perving on a teenage girl, but I decided to at least finish ep 1. I'm f*cking hooked, this is such an insane concept and I'm hoping we get a crazy Count of Monte Cristo Style complex revenge drama, or something like that.

Bird

Damn I heard about the manga here and there, but whenever I read about the reincarnation part I was always worried it would be really weird. Glad I gave it a try through you guys.

Joe

1:00:58 Ai's eyes weren't lit up

Alex Wu

WOW

SoggySoup

What a banger of a first episode. I cannot believe that the mangaka is the same as Kaguya-sama!

Hakohako Isubu

This shit went crazy

BloodMoonGentleWind

I don't think thats how moral work hymiie , your morals is based on how your society perceives it. If you're brought up thinking 16 is the legal age , then thats your moral standard. Don't impose your own morals on others . Quite a few country around Asia have 16 as their legal age , but 21 for drinking. Not like as if kids these days give a shit about these kind of stuff. With that being said , preggo at 16 is kinda insane. My cousin's gf gave birth at 15 , by 17 they had 2 kids. Shits like this are life ruining.

Ec Aea

Gas Gas Gas Gas Gas Gas Gas Gas Gas Gas Gas Gas GAAAAAAS!

King Kryptic

Anti spoiler comment😊

Jtmnaa334

I am here for vengeance.

John Endaya

doesn't make it morally ok tho lmao

hix

that was a great beginning to a show tears!!!

Marshmellodanny

Also guys 16 is legal age in Asia believe it or not….

xXZephyrus2002Xx

Anime has a way of making dead people look so disturbing to honest that image of her lifeless body is gonna haunt Aqua forever 😥

xXZephyrus2002Xx

Your a saint bruh, lemme take my ass back to the reaction

i2agnerok

I am now forever traumatised :)

Kévin Chamberlin

This is how you make a good anime story

Rei Zero

dont look at comments

Pan Cakes

8/10, way to predictable. But that’s me being a pain because I hate being able to see what’s coming. Everything was predictable from reborn to the father, I just hope it doesn’t stay predictable and makes you think.

Peacefinder Simply

I cried alone first, then I came here to cry with ya'll the second time 😆

Adamantite Momon

Which is a really fun fact that the author is a huge fan of Vtubers and even plays Apex with them, and I believe he had a bunch of Hololive (Idols) cameo in Kagura sama

Arti

not all superheroes wear capes

earthphoenix7068

wow i just found out that too. he's not drawing, but the author for the story part of this.

by chances

The excellent first episode; I think the Dad being part of why she's dead could be a possibility, but I think its a misdirect. I feel more is at play here.

Lockstepmind

It must've taken Ruby/Sarina a minute to win her match in the Gulag.

ghostin_us

For Roshi and Sheera, the creator of this is the same one that did Kaguya.

Severus Alaerth

Bro actually had me thinking this was a wholesome anime😂

Brae

Legendary meme

James Ancester

Animepahe.com is the best option for the pirate life IMO. Built a 4TB archive from that site with zero viruses. (An adblocker being an obvious prerequisite)

James Ancester

Spelled somewhat backwards as "Ai no Hoshi" it could also approximately mean "Wish for love". Hits hard after those last scenes.

James Ancester

dude the hang scene in that legit unnerved me lmao

kaeleb white

Kaguya appears in oshi no ko, she was a photographer, and had shirogane as her last name lol

kaeleb white

WOW. was not expecting that at all. Ai's death almost got me but it was the manager's wife wanting to adopt the kids is what got me. very interested to see where this goes.

Jalani Abdul-Aziz

Fun fact, Ai Hoshino's name means Star of love.

Itz yo boy gaming

Can you guys react to the music video for the OP? Tight af

Dolfy

This gives me heavy Another vibes, and I love it

Karoshn

Ai characterization in the first episode is really impressive for how much time they had even tho it an hour long episode it very rare that an anime can make that impactful of a emotional peak on me her inter monologue before her death made her overall conclusion that much more impactful the characterization of ruby and aqua was also or pretty impressive and saying it’s generic is pretty disingenuous to me

Maxwinter

I liked the premise so I just read the entire manga last night. Pretty good stuff 👍

PersonaFyde

You don't need to explain, the man has a pea sized brain to even know that this story isn't generic in the first place. Dude probably calls Love Island the best show on the internet

Pucci

Fuck man, this anime really came out of nowhere. What a start

I Am Gojo

IDK how to explain it I just let myself Get absorbed by the story

WolfMoon117

How is this generic or are you just being a contrarian for no reason

SWAGxMAGICIAN

real

Saba

oh yea im fucking loving this, nvm just got to the end TOT

Lil Pickle

Are you talking about rushia or someone else? Because I remember hearing that story and it was really sad

Jacob The weird

1:04:31 was that the dean scream

Trandon

its not generic in the slightest tf? did you watch the full thing?

PolarToni

Christoph Waltz has a new show on prime! The Consultant. It's actually a great show and funny as hell with a good mystery behind it. Y'all would love it

PolarToni

How tho it’s super generic and not that interesting I’ve seen a few people say 10/10 I’m curious why ?

Sam Cam

I went in with zero knowledge yet moderately high expectations due to some of the comments. I did not expect to be impressed by the writing, the voice acting, the animation, and especially not moved to tears. Goddamn.

Champion Bescos

another show goin in blind but ayo i didnt know ep 1 was literal movie lenghth... gawd damn better be good!

MethodTKT

i got Doki Doki Literature Club vibes honestly, which means it did its job at being unsettling lol

Zachary Jackson

The moment when he was thinking about his body was not found was when they had 3 years old :P

Pedro Barrera

All I can say men, 10/10

WolfMoon117

What in the movie long is this? Lol episode 1? Lmao dang, i guess ill watch it tomorrow when im off oh wait…i have to go watch Suzume… then the next day off lol

Jonathan Reyes

Read the Manga. Cried. Promised myself that I wouldn't watch the anime because I knew it was gonna make me feel empty seeing that shit animated. Saw you guys dropped this reaction and had to watch your reaction 😔 Why did I do that...now I'm depressed all over again.

Niuwah

Bro are you high they literally have a porn industry with girls in there teens having sex with adults they clearly don’t agree with you age 17 is not a big difference bud but keep believing what you want it’s not my cup of tea anyway

Patrone07

can y'all stop misinterpreting japanese laws based off 5 second google searches? that age of consent is only for minors who are in relationships with other minors. it is not for adults dealing with minors. you most most definitely would go to jail if you're an adult having sex with minor (17 and under) in japan.

naa

or if u don't want to get a virus. . .HiDive

KamiGema

yeah there was this japanese vtuber i used to watch and she graduated because accidental leaks showed she might have had a boyfriend. It wasn't even fully confirmed and people harassed her so much that she graduated. Crazy that people can't understand they are human as well

Andres Holguin

Not completely related, but it would be dope if they watched Perfect Blue if they haven't seen it already.

Omar

bro that emotionally drained tf outta me

QuanArt

Sail the high seas my friend 9anime should have it

eastbaynick

where can I watch this?

l0riegrac3

I was wondering why the writing of this show was so good. Turns out it's the same author as Kaguya-sama. And may be in the same universe.

Charles Fine

Just me? What?

Yo Ku

AN HOUR+??? LETS GOOO!

Dexter

The animation when aqua was in the car and decided he was going to live and kill their father was insaaaaaane

Emily A

No fr I had to look away for a second that shit was way too disturbing

Emily A

But that’s actually how ppl die. Many times when you get stabbed or if you’re shot and you’re not already passed on the scene they will want you to talk for as long as humanly possible until help arrives. They usually want to keep you conscious. But even outside of that people who are in high stress situations like in an emergency if they aren’t so who naturally goes into panic mode, they can be a person who goes in to eat very talkative state like just in a way to keep like aware, so technically, it’s pretty valid. It also depends on how deeply stagger he stopped her enough to cause a lot of blood, but it would still take a few minutes for her to bleed out so the scene was probably pretty legit.

TooCuteNoir B.

this anime is even more interesting if you've looked into or been apart of idol culture. the fans are delusional and crazy, stalkers, hackers all trying to get as much personal info as they can. I know one guy who camped outside of a company's office for days taking a picture of everyone who entered so he could deduce who was his virtual youtuber idol.

Novafan

I think the problem wasn't that they would be found out for being reincarnation but that they would bring too much attention to themselves cause Ai's manager didn't want them to be in the public eye for too long.

Devin B

Another good one to add to the list. That ending tho. Best girl AI.

Kendall Gresham

Yeah fuck this sad ass shit, why they gotta do AI like that

pmreez

38:36 Yall just calling out osenbai like that

WeavyBoo

btw this is in the same universe and world as "kaguya sama love is war and made by the same person

ArtsySpecter

For me I knew the manga was highly acclaimed and won some new manga awards but never read it. I also kinda already knew about the prologue. But despite that and my immense high expectations, I was still so blown away and caught my myself teary and I’m not a teary person either.

Astrea Stars

Are you guys watching the new Ranking of Kings season? The first episode dropped today on Crunchyroll

J Man

Yeah I missed to part 😭

Kingmakaii

Im so hyped to see how the next episode are. They already adapted this beautifully

Haaa?

thats fair but from what ive read of the manga the story is very interesting. I kinds felt the same way until i just continued reading

Haaa?

How would cover be blown by speaking too much? Why would anyone actually suspect that they're reincarnations? Lmfao. They might be taken aback, concerned, weirded out, and shocked, but it's not like the average person is gonna be like, "Huh, they talk too fluently for their age. That must mean they are reincarnations!" -_- If anything, the whole "must be a genius" is the most natural reaction.

JsnSkg

first nine minutes in and weirded out bruh.

Darion Wilson

Damn that was so good!

Spriggz

Wheres that fool who said Lupa shouldn't be in this series reaction since he cant take serious stuff seriously? where you at now? 😠 don't you dare disparage our boy lupa again.

SeriouslyJet

Lol I understand how you feel but the dude committed suicide he licked himself already xD the dad has to pay now

Patrone07

Lol Phroug and wrong goes together perfectly pretty ironic xD your opinion is what it is

Patrone07

Listen my man, homegirl got stabbed then started to read out the entire encyclopedia, you can't sit here and tell me that i'm wrong about that. A good 40% of her dialogue in the episode was from that one scene alone

Phroug

did someone say kristoph waltz? PORTABLE DOOR! just watched it two days ago. cute movie. thats what he's doing: english/australian films cause i guess america (hollywood) has moved on to the next thing

rickie woodson

Fire

Jose silva

this was fye i haven't felt this way for an anime in a while I'm truly ready for what's to come hope everyone's having good day see ya.

AdventHorizons

I initially gave this show a pass on the premise/idol nature of it. Got curious once everyone started reacting to it and saw it had great reviews. Damn, didn't realize it would hit me that hard. Reminds me of the Witch from Mercury Prologue lmao, iykyk.

Ethan

After watching this I kinda don’t wanna watch anymore bc of the death scene

King A E Herrell

After watching this I kinda don’t wanna watch anymore bc of the death scene

King A E Herrell

Like, i'd have been perfectly fine shelling out for theater tickets to see this on a big screen, and hell with only a little bit of tweaking the end it COULD have been a stand alone tragedy.

NecDW4

Wasnt it even more granular, like 16 is legal but ONLY with another 17 or younger, so a 16 and 17 year old could potentially have kids and get married, but a 16 and 18 year old couldnt?

NecDW4

Oh man, Clannad/AS trio reaction when? Lupa'd be on life support.

NecDW4

Yeah, i remember reading the premise of the show when i first heard about it. "Doctor dies and becoms teh kid of the idol he worships? Prolly gonna be a weird creepfest show, SKIP" Then i saw that they were reacting to it AND saw the episode length and went "OK, generic shit doesnt get a movie length first episode outa nowhere, lessee whats actually going on" and am glad as hell i did. It would have sucked to miss out just because of a slightly bad description.

NecDW4

yeah and both shows are in the same universe as well

Nabi

Sousou no Frieren's going to have a nice 1st episode as well

Nabi

They also didnt notice that the killer found the Drs body when they showed him at the bottom of the cliff. I assume he did something with it and thats why it was never found.

NecDW4

only show with an episode 1 at the same level of this imo was to your eternity and jobless. really excited for this

Vayne

Yeah idol culture does get this bad for the talents. Idols/v tubers have been doxxed and bullied and forced to quit all because people thought they were in a relationship.

Noah Marshall

Kaguya also appears in a chapter of OnK

Polygon

i wanna drop this shit too because of how much it made me cry

danial javady

Bruh, you'd be surprised how many people still have DVD players. Theres a reason WalMart still has as many DVDs as they do BDs.

NecDW4

I’m guessing they didn’t find Doc’s body because the father covered it up and disposed of it.

Ayomide Salami

LMAO NO WAY

Zero _

Not only that, the adoptive mother is the voice for Atsushi. WTF?

danial javady

Fuck this shit. Why did they have to animate this? Fucking hell. I knew I would watch it. I knew it would be good. And I knew I would fucking cry. God damn.

danial javady

yeah he’s an interesting guy lmao

samuel

yup. hes the writer for the series

Jazmyne Mattucci

Lupa's genuine raw reactions to this kinda stuff is like getting to watch a show for the first time twice so as fucked as it is to say, his suffering is my entertainment lmfao

Gilthwixt

W that Oshi no Ko gets the focus it needs, but kind of an L given how Kaguya ended...

Gilthwixt

Oh idk if all noticed cuz i didnt at first, but the Killer was in the crowd of fans at the start of the concert the twins attended. Peepe 38:24 , he behind the guy in the durag

Jazmyne Mattucci

Wait a second. I am sorry if someone already specified this, but the creator of this story is also the one that created Kaguya-sama? What?...

George-Calin Petruța

Ngl, I'd legit start believing in God if a baby started talking to me.

JsnSkg

Man you woke up today and chose to be wrong huh?

Zachary Jackson

I don't see the problem. That would sell the reaction even better cos we all love to see Lupa crying lol

MaybeNextTime

havent cried this much in ages damn

Texenl555

BROOOOOOO I remember this manga from like a year or two ago I got like 7 or 8 chapters deep and then dropped it and I can't remember why😭😭😭

Oscar

idk if he has confirmed it in an interview, but in a later chapter of kaguya-sama there is a billboard in the background with idols from oshi no ko. so they do be connected

sempiternal

Confirmed it in an interview or something? BRUH. A-1 Pictures and Doga Kobo about to meet up for a crossover special down the line.

JsnSkg

Cristoph Waltz was recently in Guillermo del Toro’s Pinocchio Lupa. Great movie. Actually would have been a good reaction

Lamaree Jackson

random guy all gems are the same coming out the ground. they are just rocks (gems) you can shape them into what you want them to look like but roshi was thinking they are named after the color which is why he said mac and cheese orange lol

KeYo

After watching this a second time I'm sure now. The scene of her dead and the light gone from her eyes is probably the most unsettling thing I've seen in an anime to date.

Dune

Yanno what's crazy? THIS TAKES PLACE IN THE SAME WORLD AS KAGUYA SAMA. It broke my brain when I found out. But the author of both series confirmed it.

Ougi

Sheera was asking the real question where did they get them glow sticks they were the perfect size for them 2

Kisuke01

Anime watchers: Oh this is so cute and fun! Its probably a comedy Manga readers:

Agendo

yeah lol, this manga kinda spoiled Kaguya-Sama for me

Nabi

VA for Ai is the same for Konosuba's Megumin, Rie Takahashi - She's doing voices for 5 shows in this current season alone!

Stanley Yuristian

first time i've genunely been interested in a "Who done it" mystery

Zachary Jackson

Immaculately

Zodiac

awesome. creating manga can honestly suck and it's nice to see creative talent in Japan that are willing to call out some of the toxic shit that exists in their homeland like the idol industry, or really just entertainment in general

Zachary Jackson

Saph would have been an awesome name for a boy. still ridiculous but actually kinda cool lol

Zachary Jackson

the last 20 minutes literally had me speechless. just mouth open and not even tears, just gut pain. I recall someone saying they didn't like the series because ti was too unpredictable. im starting to see how they might believe that

Zachary Jackson

The manga creator for this is the same one for Kaguya sama love is war

MARK BRADSHAW

Objectively bad opinion.

Chimpman

Sooooo we all not feeling that Erased vibes

GoldenBoy

swarm, the anime

rickie woodson

Btw its pretty much canon that this happens in the same universe as “love is war” And it kinda feels weird that both are happening around the same time

Just Shinji

I'm ngl I didn't really like Ai's death scene. Shit felt waaay too dialogue heavy, made it feel kinda corny

Phroug

I mean the ending was obvious from the jump, but what I think makes erased a great show was the relationships between the characters. This show is also make the plot to the mystery obvious, but they have set up the character relationships so well it's gonna be hard for them to fuck it up.

Oax Al

Hopefully they can nail the ending unlike erased.

Maroki R6

Daaaaammmnn! This was so good. Can't wait for what this show has in store. It's definitely giving me Erased levels of quality. S tier first episode.

Oax Al

If your cool with it then if it ain’t broke don’t fix I can dig it, it’s just my screen on my phone isn’t that big so not catching all the words would bother me

Patrone07

Yea the show does good with bright colors and the eyes especially with AI and then flipping them to heart wrenching scenes

Jusntyme

I work through the night and have a good amount of down time doing so, so I mainly watch on mobile.

Silver

Wait you guys actually watch this on your phone lol I couldn’t do it I steam it on my tv through my phone with a app called Web video caster check your tv if it’s a smart tv you should be able to download the app fyi

Patrone07

After that im putting one on my father on sight, no questions.

Ale D. Schuberg

Maybe because sapphire and ruby is just the same stone with different color. A ruby is just a red sapphire and a sapphire is a blue ruby.

Random Guy

nope.

Yolo Samurai

I can’t wait to see this father die

Harmonial

I truly didn't expect this for this show. Truly a masterpiece in animation and plot. I'm at a loss for words.

Emiliano Ruiz Chong

It seems that I did misunderstand and that’s my bad. Your wording came off as if you were hating on the reaction. I don’t usually read comments aside from the ones that automatically stick out and I’ve been seeing a lot of negative comments so I ended up just assuming the worst. But seeing how Lupa did pretty well on Re zero, i’m hoping he’d have just as much of a good time on this show

Antares

This is the only anime adaptation that got me waking up in the middle of the night, turn my computer on, and checked ALL the staffs behind the adaptation. And that only made me more worried. A studio that only produces mid stuff, a director and art staff that doesn't have an amazing CV, Voice actress (except ai cuz her VA is stacked) that is new in the VA business... like it just feels like it'll be a bad adaptation, and oh boy was my worries for nothing. The first ep is amazing

Oisif

Listen...I'd fold a kid bro! -Roshi 2023

Yolo Samurai

Surprised but happy lupa is watching this

harold cheese

thats what she said

Dan

I think you're misunderstanding, I never said he was going to dislike the show. Only that he wasn't going to have a good time. It's been known for years that he doesn't do well with these kinds of shows because of how emotional he can get. Even he and Roshi acknowledged themselves about that. Look through the duo reaction comments where people ask "Why isn't Lupa watching too?" Roshi's reply back to the commenter was that "He doesn't do well with these kinds of shows"

Sun

the fact that most of this is so normalized in the kpop industry oof

yoongi

literally

yoongi

Oh okay thanks man

Oddwinter

It’s a meme of a dog talking, the dog says they’ll never believe you when you tell them I was talking

Aidan Navarro

@Cameron, no it's the same universe. Kaguya makes a cameo in a chapter.

Polygon

Anyone else lowkey get school days flashbacks from this?

Garlic

Yes it’s the same author but it’s also the same universe, as in kaguya appears 10 years later from her story to here in the manga in a short cameo.

GoddessHex

Nah he can talk to Thorfinn after he gets his getback

Devin B

Someone please tell Roshi and the gang the age of consent is 16 an older in Japan they definitely not going to jail or anything with that said still don’t consent to the ideal

Patrone07

Bro I’m mad asf yes bro go get yo lick back you kill me then when I was reborn you killed my mom nahhhhh nigga I’m getting my lick back bro by any means necessary lmao😭🤣💯

Kingmakaii

Look at the star in their eyes closely, there might be some difference in color. This episode that the color of the star in the eyes changing from bright to dark at certain points!

Verse Virus

What show is roshi and lupa referencing when they say “They’ll never believe you.”? I’ve heard them say it multiple times, but never knew.

Oddwinter

A detail that also broke me was President Saitou saved her a glass of alcohol, cause that would've been her first drink when she turns 20. But unfortunately, she passed before they could even celebrate.

_ jiseee

Happiness is a big crimson flag that's on fire. Welp, time to go read the manga.

Garlic

I though he was, I was literally going to Google it after I finished the reaction, but decided to read the comments first, and you answered my question lol.

Cory

I think this is the best prologue/"first episode" I've seen in a while, granted it was 3 episodes long. I think a lot of unknowing people would have dropped it before ep 3 so I see why it was 90 min.

Astrea Stars

The tone of the show is drastically different to the other shows this studio usually makes

FuChris

what’s crazy is i remember when a fanboy with a knife stabbed 2 idol girls from akb48 people are really like that out there 😭

kagamiluvr

bro lupa was literally quite invested in the show from what I saw- even tearing up in a scene. you must've been watching with your eyes closed or something

Antares

u mean same author

Cameron 鳥

This reminded me of when I was watching Bocchi the Rock thinking to myself like this doesn't look like something I'd ever watch but this was fire. Had me in them feels

Kisuke01

I don't know if you know this, but the Author of this is actually the same person who created Love is War. He retired from being a Mangaka and is now just the sole writer of the story. He is not the illustrator for the Manga.

Marshatx

Nope, it's technically 13. However, a "child" according to the law is anyone under 18 in Japan. So the very act of having sex with anyone under 18 still counts as a crime. However, 16 is when you can legally get married if you have a parents permission.

Ghost_Troupe

No it's not. 16 is the age where you can get married, but you have to get your parents permission, and there are other laws on the books that make banging a 16 year old highly illegal. Of course, there are cases where it happens, and the courts pretty much don't care...so like most things in Japan involving sex, it's free real estate I guess.

Ghost_Troupe

But Lupa? Why you ain't here for Beef? 🍖

J Man

It's not just the same author, but apparently in the same universe lol

Ghost_Troupe

in the 9 years of me watching anime this is the 3rd anime to make me cry, and i read some of this manga.... fuck me

Re_Slayer

Fun fact for you guys, it’s the same universe as kaguya sama

GoddessHex

yeah roshi? an aquamarine is a gem thats why they called ruby and aquamarine. it would have been cool if they were called ruby and sapphire tho lol. yall fucked up because yall get them to watch these shows and then lupas heart drops lol. great show tho

KeYo

I watched this reaction just off a whim… and omfg it was absolutely amazing. I’m so happy I did. I love these types of anime, gives me “Erased” vibes. I can tell this is going to be spectacular

B

I believe the implication is that they got rid of the body after they killed doctor Aqua, not that nobody ever went back to that spot again

Anorak

Get with the times Lupa, the director isn't ageist because he notices the sign of the times. That's why he respectfully listens to the baby.

earthphoenix7068

Y'all in the comments hoe'd lupa in this, I'm telling you. Should've been a duo. He isn't going to have a good time.

Sun

and now he is focusing only on Oshi no ko! which is a nice W

t_t

And here I am wiping the tears from my phone. Can’t wait to see the rest

Kevin

No way it’s the same author😭 bro is goated fr

It's none Of your business

So I did sob a little. Didn’t expect that but it was good

It's none Of your business

They did such an incredible job adapting this holy shit I'm excited

Evan Jardin

Damn at first I thought an hour and 20 minutes might be long for an episode but now it feels like it was too short. This show definitely caught my attention on all levels comedy wise and drama wise but now they added a whole mystery aspect to it and I can't wait to see how it plays out. This was definitely a gem of an episode.

Devin B

IM HOOKED 😭

A.D.Z

I guess the creator of love is war (Kaguya-sama) used all his comedy on that show and went full dark route on his next work LMAO

Pan Cakes

Bruh. I went in blind and I didn't expect this anime to be this good. Looking forward for more!!

MaybeNextTime

doga kobo nailed it fr

zILovePelmeni _

The way dying anime characters in sub say ‘I love you’ will never not make me cry.

SunXBreathing

the shot of ai after having passed is so haunting… as a manga reader, the staff who worked on this anime did it justice and really brought the amazing artwork to life!

Chloe Chu

The best part of this series is how much focus they put on the Entertainment/Idol industry itself.

No matter how many times I watch this episode it always makes me cry...

Bro my heart strings!! Loved this episode !

The still shot of Ai being dead is honestly amazing. Not the mention the “stars” leaving her eyes as she died. It even has something to do with how after someone has died their relatives see their dead body and think “that’s not them anymore”. That still reminds me of that she didn’t look like her self. This shit is fire omg.

Imari

i shouldve gotten spoiled on this this shit hurts tooo much man

blue snivy

Holy shit, I haven't heard someone mention Key in years! Those niggas are masters of stuff like this

Kodyak Combs

That's just you 🤣

I love Miyako, she went from a pushover caretaker to actually becoming the second mom to aqua and ruby, it made me tear up when she said she thought of them as her own children

Pan Cakes

Easily a top 3 manga for me, love this series and the first episode is done pretty dang well

Gox64

Is this a Key anime? Holy shit the bait and switch. Feels like i was watching clannad again

My boy Aqua needs a long talk with Thorfinn asap.

Levi Blair

mannnn i was falling for the mother too its sad they killed her off i hope she gets reincarnated.

Kenisha & Kim

Really glad they did all of volume 1 in one episode. By far the weakest part of the series IMO and I struggled to read through it until Ai's death happened. Peak starts now

S_Cero

One of my favourite manga ever

Ougi

and if you can hear it, kid Aqua was voiced by Rudeus Greyrat's VA.

Jazmyne Mattucci

Yeah, making that first episode feature length was genius, 3 separate episodes wouldn't nearly be as effective, that ending was a gut punch, hooked.

16 is of age in japan by the way, the same way 18 is of age in the US.

patreon UI is absolute garbage omfg

Yo Ku

Typecast: assign (an actor or actress) repeatedly to the same type of role, as a result of the appropriateness of their appearance or previous success in such roles.

Terry King Jr

ROSHI THIS WAS WRITTEN BY THE SAME AUTHOR AS KAGUYA SAMA, HE WAS PUBLISHING BOTH OF THE SERIES AT THE SAME TIME

Homura

I just can't get over how little boy Aqua has the same VA as Rudeus Greyrat. How do you end up getting to do that role twice?

Grant Beaudette

PEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAK

Moon Glow

Y'all got to remember the age of consent in Japan is not the same in the US

Devin B

Wholesome?

LiquidXGravity

Yep, RIE Takahashi

Ped

I'm pretty sure the VA for Ai is the same as Megumin from Konosuba and Emilia from Re:Zero

Rigsbith

I CANNOT WAIT TO WATCH THIS AFTER WORK, GONNA BE LIT!

LordTouchMe

they decided to adapt all of volume 1 in the first episode and did it really well actually

Andres Holguin

I do love me some peak 😮‍💨

lyssa

That ending was like a punch in the stomach. It hurt me

SavvyAlloy516

oh nah Roshi straight up activated the Roshigan at 9:36

namnas

I'm right there with Lupa, episode had me sobbing up

Hakurei Oni

This was one of my most anticipated anime of the year, top 3 to be exact. I've been reading the manga for over 2 years and I couldn't have been happier and sadder with this flawless adaptation. This is quite literally the best first episode I have ever seen. Yoasobi doing the opening is just too much for me. I know Roshi and gang aren't too into the specifics for shows they're just getting into, but to other big Yoasobi and Oshi no Ko fans, please watch the opening music video on YouTube. Had me in tears, especially with the ending, I truly used to pray for times like these. Doesn't mean much but this is already also number one on myanimelist, the ranking doesn't matter but this just shows how loved this series already is and how great of a reception the first episode got🥹

wavyesper

I genuinely thought this was a movie and seeing ep 1 in the title has left me dumbfounded

namnas

Adapting the first I wanna say 9 chapters (been a while) in one go was a very good decision imo. It really was the prologue and adapting it in 3 episodes would've been bad for the show and grabbing viewers. It was after that chapter that the story actually begins so can't wait for that. This story is on the same level as kaguya sama for me and pretty close to it (rating wise). Aka cooked here

Hello

Itsss showtimeeeee

Jason Green

I was not expecting that ending! 😳

Jeremy Estrella 🇩🇴

Agreed. Adapting all of it instead of several episodes was very good

Hello

Feel like front loading a show with a feature length start might cause people to balk like I got 30 minutes today not 80

Ranginald Vagel

Because they want to get the prologue out of the way to grab viewers fast. Its a great decision on their part

Kodyak Combs

I can’t believe was I just watched I had no idea what it was about going in and now I just feel empty haven’t had series hurt me that deep in a minute

TChang23

Oh god why is it so long

Ranginald Vagel

First question “is this an isekai?”😂

Javier V2221

we have arrived at PEAK once again, my friends. Get ready for a ride.
