"Oshi no Ko" 2nd Season

I think this season is honestly gonna be superior to the season 1
Oshi no ko is still true to it's nature and that's the unravelling of the challenges of the entertainment industry
Honestly it's a breath of fresh air cuz stories like this are not really common and it's interesting seeing how things work out in the "behind the scenes" and it's being presented to the viewers in a creative, entertaining format, it's truly splendid

The second season seems to be exploring more on the theatre/acting part rather than the whole idol stuff and it's still a banger, we're introduced to great chars, well written conflicts and ... what challenges they have in the medium. Its educational yet fun to watch; the rivalry between akane and kana is always interesting

The Animation is even better in the second season the character designs and their facial expressions are even more fluid
The movement, Visuals all took a step up it's truly been amazing

The sound track and music are amazing too
Truly recommend watching this if you enjoyed the first season

It astounds me how this series used to have a ton of hype and was heavily crazed and talked about with Season 1, even regarded as one of the best anime last year, but that doesn't seem to be the case anymore. It's pretty clear less people are enjoying Oshi no Ko, considering it has gradually lost all of that idol vibe and drama suspense which made it worth enjoying and instead has sunk to some incest crap slice of life entertainment show from the manga, that's why Season 2 hasn't been getting much traction. Not to mention the terrible English dub of Season 1 ... also disappointed a lot of fans.

I feel as though those who watched Season 1 but are not watching or have dropped Season 2 this early were on the bandwagon and were just looking for a good non-action shonen or non-romcom to hook their eyes on. As for Season 2 itself, it's still pretty faithful to the source material. Considering it's once again Doga Kobo, I have full faith in them that they will do this Stage Play arc justice. However, the loss of Yoasobi, not returning to sing the OP for Season 2 made me less excited and enthusiastic. The song "Idol" was perhaps what made people hooked to watching the show in the first place and it's one of the most notable contributions of the series. I thought ONK would grow its fanbase and mainstream popularity with a second season, but it's hard to believe such a trend.

Thumbs up if you are frustrated because Hoshino Ai's plot hasn't developed at all since the first episode of the first season. This anime is just a huge bait! We have to suffer through random plots related to Hoshino's children in order to find out about the circumstances of her life, which is never shown in the anime. My only goal now in watching this anime is so I can come here and tell you exactly which episodes to watch in order to skip all the uninteresting episodes and get to the actual main plot: Hoshino Ai's true story.

Season 2 so far brought us the ... same characters but with nothing to add to the main plots that were unsolved in season 1. And I'm not even disappointed, since Season 1 showed us that this anime is all about baiting us and beating around the bush.

I'm expecting to be back to you around episode 10 or so, when maybe they remember to bring back Hoshino Ai's unsolved mysteries.
