You guys should also react to the full MV of the opening song in the next episode's reaction! Its title is Idol by Yoasobi. Also check out the English lyrics, it will make episode 1 hit harder.

Rie Takahashi nailed her character completely. Thanks to her performance, those last lines she gave lives rent free in my heart just like kaori's letter to kousei. 😢😢😢❤❤❤
Since you guys didn’t mention it in the intro I’m gonna assume no one told you guys, but the manga is written by the same guy who made Kaguya-sama! Although he writes the story just like for Kaguya, someone else illustrates the art for the Oshi No Mo manga. So it’s actually a conjoined effort for the manga which is kinda unique! I’m sure you guys will notice the writing style for sure the more you watch and problem notice some similarities now that you’ve been made aware of it.
Tbf, having a different writer and artist is not uncommon in manga. A great note is that the artist is Mengo Yokoyari of Kuzu no Honkai (Scum's Wish) fame.
its not that uncommon. A good chunk of manga is like that, including every single novel adaptation(which is a good chunk of all recently serialized manga) and almost every webtoon. And a lot of 'mangaka' are actually multiple people working as a group under one single name
Yay I'm so excited for this!! Also color me shocked that Autosave has only 20 minutes of discussion to this absolute masterpiece of an opener lol. Oh well!
Check description ;( after a faulty SD card we only had one to record on and ran out of space. We will make up for it as there is tons we want to say! ^•^
@@AutoSaveFamilyPatiently awating a normal video length sized intro for the next episode :p Like the good ol' days of AoT where you guys used to have like 45 minute intros in some videos :D
36:37 I paused there and the difference in your faces was so hilarious I had a laughing fit for a solid 2 minutes. I see you guys have very different ways of processing traumatic scenes 😂
So glad you guys reacted to this. SD card running out is unfortunate, but I really am looking forward to the discussions you guys will have about the show, especially since this first episode talks about several themes that RU-vidrs may relate with. I even saw this one reactor having an hour long discussion and having a mental breakdown about the fact that the "lies" that Ai mentions applies to reactors as well, as he wants to somewhat play the emotions up for the camera.
To be honest, the op fits the show pretty well. Here are the lyrics (Source: Genius) [Intro: ikura & REAL AKIBA BOYZ] Show us the incredible smile that ravages the media Her secrets are mysterious and unknown Even her flaws are within her area You are a perfect liar, oh, [Ms.] genius idol (You're my savior, you're my saving grace) [Verse 1: ikura] What did you eat today? What's your favorite book? Where would you go if you went out? "I haven't eaten anything" "That is a secret" No matter what question you ask, I have to answer ambiguously [Verse 2: ikura] It's all so uneventful, yet dazzlingly The secrets that seem visible have the taste of honey "I don't have this" and "I don't have that" "What's your type?" "Who's your partner?" Come on, answer me [Pre-Chorus: ikura & REAL AKIBA BOYZ] "Falling in love with someone? (Hey! Hey!) I don't even know what that means" (Hey! Hey!) I can't tell if it's true or a lie (Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!) Those words make me fall for someone again (Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!) They make me fall in love again [Chorus: ikura] Everyone is captivated by you You are the ultimate perfect idol You'll never appear again A reincarnation of Venus Ah, with that smile, you make everyone love you Those eyes and those words, even if they're lies That is the perfect Ai [Verse 3: ikura] Yes, yes, that child is special We are the foil from beginning to end We are passers-by who make the idols more dazzling There is no way everything is thanks to that child It's cheeky There's no way envy and jealousy don't exist This is not a joke That's why I can't forgive The you who are not perfect I can't forgive you I can't forgive myself I only accept the you who are stronger than anyone else [Chorus: ikura & REAL AKIBA BOYZ] Everyone believes and admires That the strongest idol is invincible Not even a single weakness can be seen A reincarnation of Venus Don't show weakness like this (Hey! Hey!) Don't let people see the unknown side of you (Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!) It doesn't have to be one of a kind (Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!) That's the truest love (Hey!) [Bridge: ikura] The media is boiling with her favorite smile Only this secret is completely hidden A career built on fake love This is my own version of love Aqua shines brightly even when in sweat The eyelids that hid Ruby Sing, dance, flutter, I am Maria Yes, lies are the best form of love [Pre-Chorus: ikura] Even though I've never been loved by anyone And never loved anyone The lies I tell will someday come true That's what I believe [Chorus: ikura & REAL AKIBA BOYZ] Someday, I will get everything I want I'm such a greedy idol Because I want to love everyone as they are Today, I'll tell a lie again (Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!) Hoping it will come true someday (Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!) But even then (Hey! Hey!) I didn't say anything to you and you (Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!) [Outro: ikura & REAL AKIBA BOYZ] Ah, I finally said it This is definitely not a lie I love you (Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! You're my savior, my true savior, my saving grace)
Ai's death is already heartbreaking on its own but what really hits me the most and serves as the final nail in the coffin after that is Miyako's complete 180 turn to "I already see you as my own children". Always gets a good cry out of me when watching
I'm so glad ya'll could get in on this while it's fresh. What an insane first episode, right?!? Home dude's face during that whole goodbye scene....it was perfect. The effort it would take to hold it all in as Ai gives her full love at the end....Herculean. Just watched episode 2 today, and damn....it is gonna be a ride. I already caught myself furiously recommending this show at work tonight.
Because you both loved Love is War so much I was not at all surprised that you'd love the writing in this one. Aka Akasaka's fingerprints are all over this work that I can feel his writing throughout it but it's still a completely unique piece that stands on its own.
Think it's a great touch how when her life flashed before her eyes Ai only saw her life after she had her children. The director also did a lot of nice other things. I'm looking forward to people doing huge analysis of this "episode"(Movie) and all the choices made.
And a couple memories with the Saitous too. It's all just what became her family. Nothing about the idol industry, her childhood, etc... Akasaka (and the director for this) really went "How can we make this the most painful personal tragedy our audience has witnessed?" and went for it.
Great reaction, as always! I love how your minds work. By the way, I recommend you guys checking the lyrics for the song. It's a perfect depiction of Ai's state of mind.
i've returned from watching your reactions & discussions all the way from 1x1 to 1x5, and i can say that i very much like the way you guys do your thing. i'm glad i found you guys via oshi no ko reactions search query! i'll be rooting for you guys (non-parasocially) from now on!
Seeing this episode I understood how wrathful paladins feel when they aim to burn something in righteous fire. The beautiful truly set your heart aflame, and when it is snuffed out, the world is left with a wound upon it.
OMG I've been waiting for you guys to react to this series! Also, out of most of the reaction channels that I saw react on this one, you guys were the one of the only ones that actually pay attention down to the intricacies and little details of the anime which is what I expected of you guys. BUT WHAT I DID NOT EXPECT TO SEE IS THE WAY YOU GUYS REACTED TO AI'S DEATH SCENE especially Ben. I've scene Ai's death scene for so many times at this point already and have cried to it multiple times but there was a point where I just stopped crying especially when I noticed that some reactors' crying on that scene felt so fake. But when I saw Ben trying so desperately to not cry, it was clear to me that he's emotion was completely genuine and it reminded me of how I felt the first time I watched that scene so much that I just began to Ugly Cry like a baby with him and the way Ana tried to laugh it off whilst crying got me laughing while crying too XD Anyway, thanks for the amazing content guys. I hope to see you guys react to series more into the future and I cannot wait for the next Mushoku Tensei reaction alreadyyy!!!
man...i've been watching you guys fore like 3 or 4 months now (first playlist i react to is RE:ZERO) and i alwyas never disapointed by you guys. the effort to write down notes, crafting teories and some of them even wilder and better than the canon event, and care to discusion until all the milk of that each and every episode dry make me happy. (i dont know why) every time i get burnout whene i working on my project, i always go to this channel and take some rest in the reaction part, and start working again on my project as listening your discussion as like i listening to podcast, and its make my job a lot of enjoyeble! sorry for bad english becous im from another side of planet hehehe. lov you guys.
OSHI means “favorite idol “ ＝AI KO means “a girl “ or “kids “ same time.＝aqua and ruby OSHI no KO means “favorite idol girl “ and “ Aqua and ruby" its double meaning!
So nice to see you guys enjoy this new Anime! It's a real bummer for the recording issue, but it happens! The manga won a bunch of JP awards over the years and I'm really looking forward the adaptation. The author put a lot of thought in the story, but unfortunately some of it gets lost in the translation since there's so much stuff that can't be translated, like with how the character names are written. Hoshino(星野) = Star Field (I made a video on the first episode, if anyone is interested for more~~) You guys are covering so many good shows presently, can't wait for more MT, Re:Zero and S;G! Keep up the good reactions~
You two were the only reaction I've seen in which you were already aware that the director "raising" Aqua was possibly not in the literal sense, but more of a mentorship sense. I appreciated how closely you followed the details of the storyline!!
"I noticed that they never found his body" Put a pin in that. Welcome to the Wonderful World of Putting A Pin In That. You will be doing that conspiracy meme with the dude with the pin board and strings. XD
God I love your guys' reaction so much and I'm so glad u started watching this...Now I'm gonna add one more video I'm gonna be looking forward to right alongside Mushoku
BTW, did ya'll see the end credit scene? Doesn't seem like it. :( React to the full OP with lyrics. It basically tells the whole 1st episode story with epic beats and boss ass raps.
Honestly it's refreshing to watch people who is actually open minded about the premise from the get go 😍😍😍 And I remember they are watching Rudy story at the same time ahahaha
You are the best guys. I feel bad about that I didn't catch my tears during the watching this episode before you. But I'd say, I was a victim of hype. I expected the series be way darker, based on everyone else's reaction. But I was definitely kooked after second episode. Their growing up seems as very interesting perspective. I have a sibling, so it almost inevitable.
It's interesting that in two of Aka Akasaka's works, Oshi no Ko and Kaguya-sama, he goes really in depth of putting on masks or fronts for other people, lying, and faking till you make it. It seems he really enjoys exploring that concept.
Ben, my reaction was your reaction. I was just tramatized and I didn't want to let go to Ai. I was falling for her character and cheering for her so much... My mother passed away when I was three, I can relate to this so much... It's just damn.... I mean damn. Idk if I even want to give the "real story" a chance because the prologue's "theme" of "Ai's raise to the top as she learns what Love is" already had me sold. This got so wild, I can't wait to see what happens next, but Ai left a strong impression, even her ending made you want to hug and protect.
it was amazing 1st ep. I was surprised they called it Oshi no ko without renaming in English. It's awsome coz Oshi no Ko has double (or more) meanings so it mustve been hard to translate it. Oshi is a newer (10 - 15 years old) japanese slang word for someone/charactor one favs/loves/supports. Also ko means child(children)/little girl/boy or simply girl/boy. So when I didnt know anything about the story, and just know its about "Idol," I thought Oshi no ko meant "My favorite girl (Idol)" first. then later finds out wait! ko meant children!?
Hi new Sub here.. love ur content so far, also for note, the eye pattern are symbolic and only "we" as the viewer of the show can watch the eye pattern. it's not only a trait of the main character but also some kind of symbol of the character ambition/feeling. especially about hate, lie, and loving. that's why you notice in the epilogue the star can be turn into dark, or bright or even dissapear (when Ai dies). it's similar how in anime artstyle , the eyes can change shape/color/ size when the character expressing their emotion, but the writer took a specific unique art direction for the pupil lol.
I've been in a university where they specialize in medical field and seen a cadaver as well as taking interest on them so I watch and listen to the rooms where they examine this So I know that abdominal aorta is fatal af like dawg that's the biggest part of a blood vessel which directly connects to the heart after oxygenated blood gets pumped out of the heart which would mean a massive damage like stab wound would make it near impossible to survive heck, even with 2 liters of blood loss is fatal which is 40% of your blood amount That's why first aid is necessary but you know even tho aqua is a former doctor his body isn't suited for first aid treatment cuz you need strength and weight to put pressure to at least stop the blood loss and let the remaining blood circulate into important organs for longer survivability
They don’t have to died at the same time to reincarnate together, in Buddhism the soul can hang around for a bit before reincarnating, depends on whether the dead have unfinished businesses they can’t let go
You guys are a really good reactor combo tbh, Ben takes note of every important thing to talk about, while Ann has nothing to worry about and enjoys the fullest xDD Some channels really bothering with some jokes and it's annoying to watch, and even worst they just read the synopsis before watching it 🤣🤣 and mumbling about her death while watching too oh my god... (I'm sorry I want to vent a little xD)
Since a lot of people in the comment already said that this show is made by the same Author that made kaguya.. Then im just gonna say no spoiler of course but this show is in the same universe of kaguya sama world the author confirmed it
The beliefs around reincarnation I find pretty interesting. Most people I have watched all are surprised Sarina is reincarnated since it had been some time since her death. I guess it didn't surprise me at all because one of the first podcasts I ever heard discussing reincarnation talked about the idea that you go to a place in-between before reincarnation and come back based on karma etc, but end up the place you need to be, destiny if you will. I think this is more a new-age type take on it but it fits perfectly with this story. I understand most of the older and traditional beliefs do happen either instantaneously though or after a set time that can last up to 49 days. So I guess most people I've watched reaction are more normal and fit the actual traditions than my own of thinking nothing of it that Sarina ended up as Ruby. lol
Isekai basically means "another world", since this is just reincarnation in the same world it's not one. Isekai doesn't technically need to have reincarnation either, something like Digimon would be Isekai, though im not sure the term was coined as a genre back then. Sword Art Online would also be a type of Isekai, for season 1 at least.
