Well, let me tell ya ’bout this Oshi no Ko thing, alright? Folks keep jabberin’ about it, so I figured I’d give it a whirl. Now, I ain’t no fancy critic or nothin’, just a regular person watchin’ what’s on the TV.
First off, they tell ya this show is a big deal, number one on some fancy list, MyAnimeList they call it. Guess that means it’s gotta be good, huh? People be sayin’ it’s the best thing since sliced bread, or since that One Punch Man fella, whatever that is.
So, what’s it about? Well, it starts off kinda sad, ya know? A young gal, she’s an idol, real pretty and singin’ and dancin’. But then, bam! Things go south real quick. It’s a bit much, gotta say, even for an old gal like me. Someone gets hurt, and there’s blood and all that. Not for the faint of heart, I tell ya. But then, somethin’ weird happens, somethin’ magical, like in them fairy tales my grandkids used to read.
- It’s got singin’ and dancin’.
- It’s got some sad stuff, real sad.
- And it’s got some magic, or somethin’ like it.
Now, this little gal, she gets a second chance, but not how you think. She’s a baby again! Can you believe it? And she remembers everything! That’s gotta be tough, right? Rememberin’ all that bad stuff and bein’ a baby all over again. And she ain’t alone, her brother, or the fella who was with her before, he’s back too. They’re twins now, a boy and a girl. It’s like a whole new life, but with all the baggage of the old one.
They grow up fast, these kids. And they wanna be in show business, just like their mama was. But it ain’t all sunshine and rainbows, lemme tell ya. There’s drama, lots of it. People fightin’, people lyin’, all that messy stuff. It’s like one of them soap operas my neighbor watches, but with cartoons. And people be warnin’ ya, don’t go lookin’ for spoilers online. Apparently, there’s folks out there who like to ruin everything. So I stayed away from that internet stuff, just watched the show straight through.
The animation, it’s pretty good. The colors are bright, and the characters, they look real nice. Even this old lady can appreciate a good-lookin’ picture. And the music, it’s catchy. Them idol songs, they get stuck in your head, even if you don’t understand a word of it. But sometimes, it gets a bit much, ya know? Too much talkin’, too much explainin’. It’s like they think we’re all dummies or somethin’. And the jokes, some of ‘em are funny, but some are just… loud. Like they’re tryin’ too hard to be funny.
Oshi no Ko tries to be smart, they say. Self-aware, whatever that means. It’s like the show knows it’s a show, and it’s winkin’ at ya, sayin’, “See what I did there?” Sometimes it works, sometimes it don’t. But it keeps you guessin’, that’s for sure. You never know what’s gonna happen next. And that’s kinda fun, right?
Now, some folks say it’s a coming-of-age story. Kids growin’ up, findin’ their way in the world. But it’s a weird kinda comin’-of-age, with all that reincarnation and show business stuff. And there’s this fella, the boy twin, he’s got this plan, this revenge thing. He wants to find out who hurt his mama and make ‘em pay. It’s kinda dark, ya know? But it gives the story a kick, keeps ya interested.
So, is it worth watchin’? Well, I dunno. It ain’t perfect, that’s for sure. It’s got its ups and downs. But it’s different, I’ll give it that. It’s not like them other cartoons my grandkids watch. It’s got more to it, more layers, like an onion. And despite all the drama and the weirdness, it makes ya feel somethin’. It makes ya think. And that’s gotta be worth somethin’, right?
Oshi no Ko anime rating is high, people like it. Oshi no Ko sub is good, or so they say. I watched the dubbed version, so I can’t tell ya nothin’ about that. But if you’re lookin’ for somethin’ different, somethin’ that’ll make ya laugh, cry, and scratch your head all at the same time, then give Oshi no Ko a try. Just don’t blame me if you get hooked, and don’t go lookin’ for spoilers, hear?
One more thing, there’s this Tokyo Blade thing in the show, some kinda comic book or somethin’. It’s real violent, they say. But I ain’t seen it, so I can’t tell ya. Just be warned, I guess. And they say it’s good for folks 13 and up. But honestly, I don’t know about that. Some of it’s pretty heavy stuff for a young’un, if you ask me.
