Oshi no ko
Plot with spoiler 1 episode:
Gorō Amemiya is a gynecologist who works at the hospital in Takachiho. Following the meeting with Sarina, a terminally ill young man admitted to his hospital, he becomes passionate about the world of idols, developing in particular an almost maniacal veneration for Ai Hoshino, the rising star of Japanese pop. Unexpectedly, she the latter shows up at the Gorō hospital, where she discovers she is pregnant with twins. Despite the strict rules of the entertainment world, which require idols not to get engaged and not to have children, Ai still decides to keep her children by hiding her pregnancy from the public. on the day of delivery, Gorō is killed by a stalker of the girl who had discovered the location of the hospital and was looking for information. Goro is reincarnated as Ai's son along with Sarina of his. Ai gives them the names Aqua and Ruby, respectively. One of Japan's most famous idols (Ai) and upcoming performances at the prestigious Tokyo Dome; however, the girl was stabbed to death by the stalker who killed Gorō. Aqua, who witnesses the murder, suspects that only her mind knows the secret of Ai, her biological father, and vows revenge. On the other hand, Ruby wants to follow in her mother's footsteps and become an idol. Then the two children entered the world of entertainment, experiencing its dark and dark sides.
What I think with spoiler:
In itself the work has entertained me a lot both as a manga and as an anime up to this point. From an artistic point of view it takes up the style of the manga very well, adding an even more picturesque style.
I like the story and it takes up reality in an incredible way (a bit fictional of course) and being a fan of kpop stories like Ai's don't surprise me much, the obsessed fan is perhaps the most real thing in the whole work. The mhe characters... the ones I like the most are the female ones, especially Kana and Ai.
Kana may seem like the typical tsundere but the further you go the more you understand that hers is just a facade, she wants to be mature for fear of failing, of disappointing everyone... she has always been forced to be like this since she was a child, she spent her life to work and then find herself totally alone (I don't want to give too many spoilers so I'll stop here) and also for this it works very well with Ruby who has a totally different story and is the opposite.
The least successful character or rather the one I liked the least is Aqua. Idk it doesn't tell me much, he's too anonymous a character, I can't empathize with him because only his greatest desire is known about him, but to evaluate him as a person you get given little or nothing, I hope it improves next season.
Akane is the character I would like most of all I would like to know more about, I would like to see more of her talent, I would like to see her relationship with Aqua how it evolves...her character seems so interesting, she has a lot of potential.
Ai is a perfect representation of any idol forced to tell lies and hope to delude themselves with those lies due to the tight contracts. I would really like to see more of Ai's story, it's natural for you to want to know it because the author has made sure not to make it interesting and "magnetic" not only for the characters but also for the viewer and honestly, however, when there is Aqua a I may lose interest, I don't know why... we'll see next season.
The thing that impressed me the most is the care for the eyes, especially those of Aqua which are essential for understanding the character. Shining when he stands out thanks to his acting skills and get darker when they convey all the grievance of him. Ai's death is also done very well and you get emotional even though it is only shown for one episode. I recommend the vision to those who want to have fun but at the same time don't want to watch something devoid of action
