Oshi No Ko Episode 1 Reactions remain mixed as what seemed like a feel-good slice-of-life show turned out to be darker than expected. Nevertheless, the viewers praise the creators for living up to the expectations and bringing forward a piece of media that is extremely impactful.
Oshi No Ko, or My Star, is a drama and supernatural anime based on a manga written by Aka Akasaka, who also wrote Kaguya-sama Love Is War and illustrated by Mengo Yokoyari. The anime adaptation is being directed by Daisuke Hiramaki, who has directed shows like Selection Project and Koisuru Asteroid in the past, alongside being a part of huge productions such as Bunny Girl Senpai and Naruto.
The series is being brought into the medium of anime by studio Doga Kobo, a relatively new studio which has been behind shows like Himotou Umaru-chan and Shikimori’s Not Just A Cutie.
The first episode is 90 minutes long and sets a fairly adequate premise for the audience to understand how the story will unfold. Initially, the story seems to be yet another wholesome story about an idol named Ai, who is a ball of sunshine. Besides being talented, she is empathetic and wishes for a family of her own. The 16-year-old happens to get pregnant and give birth to a pair of twins. Her life takes a drastic turn from there onwards.
However, what seemed like a straightforward story rather took a disturbing turn that shocked the audience. Most of them cannot believe how the plotline changed so suddenly and are still recovering from the pain. Nevertheless, they cannot help but praise the production and creators for doing an excellent job with the storytelling process. They are also satisfied with the animation and the character designs.
Apart from the story, they also express their love for the OST song called Idol by Yoasobi. Everyone has come together on the platform to display their love for the latest anime series. They cannot wait for the upcoming episodes and witness how the story develops further.
