She DOES NOT Deserve This!!✨ OSHI NO KO Ep 6 REACTION!!! 

This was actually based on Hana Kimura's suicide, a very similar and tragic case that happened months before the chapter was aired. Unfortunately there was no Aqua to save her. Edit: some people were saying that some of the comments we see in this episode are actually taken word for word from the cyber bullying Hana received, which makes it even sadder imo

'' I'm tired '' sent chills down my spine. That's how one starts considering suicide.. very well written episode.

"It's so crazy how in touch with every aspect of everything the author is." And it's not just with the entertainment industry in ONK too. Akasaka-san is particularly in touch with what's happening in the real world in all his stories. From the relationship minefield and teenage anxiety that high schoolers have to navigate, to things that people experience on a daily basis like Twitter, and smartphones, to the reality of classroom and cyberbullying. It's all so grounded and relatable.

akane was introduced last episode as an actress already, even kana gagged when she heard akane's name

I really love how you could pretty much say that the entirety of Oshi no Ko exists in Ai's shadow. She does in the very beginning, but literally everything in the story makes reference to her in some way or another. It really is amazing how overbearing her presence is even though she's long gone. And it's also incredible how well they were able to present her as such a legendary figure in the plot, it's just amazing that the image of Ai that I have in my head is just as idolized as it is for the characters.

I found it funny that while one was worried about Akane the other just yelled ¡NOT THE ENDING!

This has to be my favorite episode so far, love how real and accurate it shows how toxic people can be on the internet Akane best girl btw

I love that Mem-cho is a PRO when it comes to internet drama.

Learning that this was based on a real-life situation really put into perspective how fucked up it is. When I first read the chapter I originally thought that the internet’s reaction was just a tad exaggerated, but then I read about Hana’s story and it really wasn’t. It’s basically 1:1, and it’s just so disheartening that not everyone has an Aqua to come save them. This is part of why some people think Akane’s best girl. She deserves so much better than what she got here.

17:43 "is that the doctor?" if you're looking at who i think you looked at, you probably spotted a future character from akane's theater, not amamiya. people have gotten confused. so it's a non-issue, no worries.

the temptation of picking up the manga grows stronger every week, but i must resist until this season ends. this show is so good and going in blind is even better

Since i read Oshi no Ko. My respect to entertainers (singer, youtuber/streamer, idol, etc.) increased significantly. They always tried do their job profesionaly. Yeah, sometime they did something "questionable". But we must know they also human. Its okay to sometimes didnt agree with them, but bullying always never been one of option. If you hate what they did, at least give a good critics and maybe some positive advice. We hope they listen it then change the way their lives, into better.

Hey, thank you for the reaction to this. It was a really good episode and I also want to say just Because I don’t share some of your guys opinions doesn’t mean that I don’t like the channel this is one of my favorite reaction channels and keep it up 👍 you guys provide amazing commentary and I know they say 1 mean comment can take away the feeling from 100 good ones but I hope you guys know you have fans and I’m one of them

I love Akane mannnn, as a manga reader she's just waifu material.

20:50 When the subject matter is dark as hell, but the ED is too much of a bop.

The episode description on Hidive is so fitting for today. “Remember what you said in righteous outrage online? There were consequences. You never saw them, but that didn’t make them any less real, nor hold you any less accountable.” Your talking to actual people online. You don’t know them or what they’ve been through. If people would just pause and think about their own faults before pointing out other’s so many tragic incidents would be avoided.

"i'm not your enemy" this line is really deep..

I think the comments for Akane started so quickly because the show posted the scratch as a preview for the episode, so it was almost instant after filming. The actual episode aired days later but Akane didn't have the strength to watch it. So it's not that the reality airs the next day after filming.

Ok, so it goes without saying: Absolutly stellar episode. Oshi no Ko and Vindland Saga S2 are just hitting it out the park. Secondly, are her eyes different color!? Can't believe I just now noticed!

The internet is a dangerous place. People can be so mean and they say whatever they want. Thank God Aqua actually did something and went looking for her.

With how silly the last couple of episodes have been, I've been waiting for the shoe to drop and this episode delivers.

Poor Akane man i forgot how much she went through Doga Kobo directed this episode masterfully they're not afraid to really portray the core messages of the manga they went all out and showed how ruthless and disgusting the internet can truly be glad they added yhe suicide prevention line at the end because this is some very real tragedy that happens to real people all the time

15:07 one word: money. Them airing loads of drama without an immediate conclusion makes it so that they get more money

It's very interesting seeing youtubers react to this show. It feels quite personal.

Showing the real you especially as a public figure/entertainer is scary. When stuff like this happens, there are no separation between you and your persona or the character that you are acting.

The Infamous Bridge-kun

I knew that ost was similar to something I had heard before! Nice reference to Twilight Princess you remarked there Carson.

Now you know why we hype this show so much: it hits so hard, especially for content creators online. It's literally play the Internet with 2D characters. And it's the Internet.

A lot of reality show drama are exaggerated or scripted events by the directors to draw in views. Remember Pimp My Ride? It was exposed later on how all of it was scripted. They aired it for views... unfortunately, Akane isn't the type to take a bad situation and turn it to her favor... it affected her badly and she almost took her life, sadly I wish Hana Kimura had an Aqua. Some people are able to take hate comments from "viewers" and turn it into their cash cow... other's can't. Akane is an hardworking actor who cannot freestyle. She can follow the script perfectly, but she can't act on a fly. A skill a lot doesn't have. Akane wouldn't be able to improv.... so a reality show is very bad for her to be in and that is the fault of her agency.

from now best girl akane will grow stronger & stronger ❤

I’ve been waiting for this episode to air since the show started…Doga Kobo really went all out with the direction here🔥

It's unfortunate what happened IRL but talking about the show, I loved the ending as in: Aqua saved her, could take care of her and/or make her join the group/company, it seems like Strawberry will try their best to treat their idols well. Not a manga reader so I'm really curious about what will happen with Akane and the group all while trying to find their father

Every Twitter users needs to see this

Btw, the reason they let it air is simply because: Its reality TV lol Legally, they have to cut when someone really does get hurt, but because its reality, they also have the right to keep in the part where they do get hurt in order to keep the realism going. Its like if a show has pretty dangerous live stunts like the Gibby falling from the ceiling stunt on iCarly. They have to Cut right after it happens, cuz someone really DID get hurt fr, but to keep the show going with something of substance or to simply not have to do it again, theyll leave in the part where the victim did get hurt; for better or worse lol

Your reactions always remind to watch the episodes, thanks!

The author got a lot of friends who work in the entertainment industry, and he consulted a lot of them abt such topics before making this manga. Thats why he had a fairly extensive knowledge abt this stuff, including some of his own experience, like the Kaguya sama live action thing

20:51 * insert depressed, but trying to enjoy music here *

Little thing that shows a better eye for detail than most react channels; Carson instantly recognizing the strings from the start of the ending theme, even though that part of the ED is usually not heard.

When I heard the ending play at the end my heart sank

Your reactions to this show has become the highlight of my week especially in this eps great reaction nd episode as usual!.

Thank u ❤ Finally start one of the best moment best girl akane aqua best couple time ❤

man im only 20 years old but im already afraid of m child going thru stuff like this, i dont have one yet but im not sure if i want to considering how fucked up some people in this world are, it can only tke one bad day to ruin someone forever

That was a pretty good reaction Keep it up 👍

Akane new best girl incoming 😭

Yo thanks for the reaction this episode was wild

She become best Heroine

0:42 its really common for pirated sites to swap subs for ending and opening song each episode, one time japanese, after that english translation and etc. This site decided to it as well.

Just an FYI with the OP subs, with a lot of HiDive shows they alternate weekly between English subs and Romaji subs

I feel so much for Akane. She was just trying her best and the internet drives her to that point. And the most unfortunate part is that is not uncommon at all. No one remembers any good you do once you make a single mistake. And its so bad that they had to include an actual helpline service contact info at the end of the ep. Fu*king twitter check man. Elon should just scrap that app entirely ATP. The internet likes to act like they are the authority on everyone's lives and that's the most disgusting part of it. And its also undoubtedly the worst part of being a celeb on social media. Oshi no ko is not afraid to tackle topics like this at all and that's what makes this so amazing.

man, Aqua is rocking that stalker look

Please look forward to the next episode. How will Akane reach the climax of this drama? This is where the legend begins.

What's really crazy is that this incident actually happened in Japan. In 2020, the reality TV show "Terrace House" came to a tragic end when one of the participants, Hana Kimura, took her own life after being subjected to a wave of online abuse.

"they airing it? So stupid" Kaburagi p :"laughing in views and popularity😂"

I love this show and your videos about it.

Ah yes Best Girl Akane we must protect her

17:44 “is that the doctor?” Just so you don’t go down a pointless hole, no it is not

the subs switch each week from eng to romaji, it was a common practice in fansubs back in the day i believe, so yea kinda cool to see this on a streaming platform (even though hidive sucks)

Next episode gonna be a banger fr fr

And thats how the best girl introduced

I'm using a translator, sorry. Sadly, a similar incident actually happened. Reality shows are really popular in Japan. In fact, I hear that the program side often gives instructions to the performers in order to liven up the show, and edits them so that the performers look bad. Since "no script" is a popular program, viewers mistakenly think that the performers are really doing what they say. There are a lot of slander that was actually in anime. Both the person who slandered and the TV side are crimes. Not only reality shows, but also the entertainment world has a lot of darkness, and sadly, there are many entertainers who die. Celebrities are glamorous, but behind the scenes they give up on many things and work hard... it's a sad world. They are human beings before being celebrities. I wish the world would be kinder.Awful but great episode.The cut of Akane's feet was impressive.

guys if you wanna pause, pause, your insights are fun !!

Ive been watching for 3 years now and just last week I noticed she has heterocrhomia. Anyways, great reaction to a great episode. Love your guy's discussion!

The worst part is that the show didn’t over exaggerate anything, this is the current state and environment of social media and networks in Japan. Everything shown in this episode is nothing but Japan’s reality.

Akane's got some really interesting growth after this. Obviously we get to see her build herself back up, but her relationship with Aqua and the places it goes are really unusual, and some of my favorite parts of the manga.

Need to remember Pieyon boot camp.👧🐥👩

6:13 can someone explain how?

Seriousness aside, are we just going to ignore that Carson said that he searches "Carson BOLDcast cute"?

Akasaka "editor called me last night for playing Apex too much" Aka, a man whose storytelling prowess makes even the manliest man tesr up. He built a huge following with his previous works, then decided to make a piece on the Japanese entertainment industry and its worst sides. The actors/entertainers, the staff, the big-shots, the fans, and of course the haters, no one is safe from his criticisms. It's fascinating to know that this show is written by the same guy who, on stream, willingly barks for another female streamer. Btw, if any of gou guys are interested, nost of the stories we have from Aka-sensei comes from other streamers. He likes hanging out with other people and playing games with them. Very wholesome and funny guy.

THANK U AQUA

They probably have different contact information for each country/language.

has lindsly eyes always been different colours

that nails she got from yuki is sharp eh

Watching anime and reading manga is so exhilarating.

実際に日本の【テラスハウス】でも自殺者が出てるのでかなりリアリティ… 事務所が怒ってるのは過剰😅

This episode reminds me of how internet made light of Etika's situation. Especially keemstar and his fans.

It's interesting cuz I understand that reality shows and just showbiz overall center around perfection in a way that just eliminates any sense of humanity, but there was a part of me that, once I saw it was just a scratch on the cheek that wasn't even shedding blood after the dramatic execution that the anime took, I wished the director hadn't yelled cut. I know that in the spur of the moment, the scratch happens in an instant and you see the actress rubbing her cheek and you know somethings wrong so I can't blame the director for saying cut, but I also feel that things would've went better if the camera was left running and captured Akane's panic and then Yuki comforting her and hugging her (assuming she was to do that, knowing the cameras are still running). If that had happened, the showrunners could've got their damn headline moment and one that had conflicted reception as opposed to downright savagery toward Akane, if not uplifting and wholesome reception at the make-up. It made me think to more narrative acting, the type I'm much more familiar with as I've never watched a reality show or idol show, the type where an actor could literally trip and fall on screen and if they were to organically stay in character, the camera would still run. Harrison Ford broke his hand and the camera still ran because he did. Tom Cruise broke his ankle but finished the take. Heath Ledger's improv with the bomb scene has become a legendary part of cinematic history. Ofc this is in the realm of big budget action stuff, but even Aqua in the episode where he played the stalker, purposefully let himself get punched and played off of the pain and adrenaline to enhance his performance. It just goes to show that when the relationship between actor and fan is under the guise of being closer to reality, it necessitates a higher sense of perfection because young fans want something to connect with yet also idolize at the same time. But in narrative acting, the actor plays a character, not a person. The actor dresses up, does different make-up, gets ripped, scrawny, fat, etc, and takes on a different personality. So there's more of a disconnect. Ofc, negative fan response def still happens where actors play some scandalous or politically charged character and then get attacked for doing their job following a damn script (Daisy Ridley, Wyatt Russel, etc), but it it illustrates a different point from this reality show. I'm not saying the narrative acting industry is problem-free, as was explored with the more Kana-centric episodes (really baffled the show went the direction of her doing idol stuff). It's definitely just interesting overall having an anime which explores multiple areas of entertainment business. Aqua plays a villain in a narrative show and doesn't catch flack while also raising the shows quality by setting the stage for Kana's larger than life cry moment, but the moment something raw or imperfect happens on reality show, the director yells cut before any positive change can happen (where Yuki maturely and sincerely comforts Akane) and then the internet villainizes Akane to hell and back because they're arrogant enough to think they're seeing the full picture of these peoples lives.

18:38 *"Who is saying this?"* Real people that don't see people on the internet as real people, unfortunately. I've been seeing something very similar to this happen right now to a Vtuber I like. People calling them transphobic and making up some theories and weird mental profiles to justify their narrative. And even if a lot of people call them out they say stuff like "I'm not gonna listen to scum like you who don't give a sh&% about trans rights." like disagreeing with them on their harassment mean you are immediately against a cause. Anyway, I just thought I'd mention it because this is the part of the story that tackles that and they adapted it marvelously. Loving the anime :D

It just came to my mind your reaction to tokyo revengers or tower of god I see the thumbnail u seem excited and then i watch the reaction when u sometimes look like u really trying to enjoy the show and i always think u could stop there people will love that But in the end u talk about how bad the show is in the discussion and i love that Keep up the good reactions

Bruh i can't remember what anime is from when Carlson says "A-kun". Can someone help me? Caus im dying curious

I feel like this episode not only encapsulates reality TV actors but also streamers. A lot of them claim that off stream personality is so different especially when they do something that could be looked down upon or that they aren't effected by hate but I think that is complete copium. I think the streamers who appear like divas or are assholes on stream are likely the same way off stream

R,I,P Hana Kimura😭😭😭

Mans so devastated he title the video wrong that’s how you know it’s real 😢

Wait, has one of your eyes always been darker than the other?

It really got me so upset. 😢😢

very hard episode, you felt imprisoned by hearing and reading all those comments or tweets, at the end i was also just tired.

Personally I like it when reacters pause to say something. I watch videos like these to hear what others have to say on the shows that I love and I'd rather them pause and say what they are thinking than talk over it and miss something or not say anything at all

How come i didn't know Lindsay has heterochromia if i watch u guys for over 2 years

Ya'll all sad for her but you will be suprised in the next ep

That story line of the series was based off a true story except the person wasn’t saved by Aqua.

Carlsen spring 2023 NOT THE ENDIIINGGG

Idol show btw

japanese netizens are actually ruthless when it comes to this stuff even more toxic than the english ones

Internet abusers are irresponsible people who forget about the incident after a few weeks, and turn their attitudes around 180 degrees with a little information.

Her background is stage play so she is not the good RightNow with no scrip Live camera following her all around

1

Yuki's character was faking when she apologized........to keep an image with the production team, the starting scene kinda established how good she is at faking. She never really approached Ankane after that or check on her, pretty sure she must have seen the comments and stuff. Sadly people like Yuki exist and they really drag other people down for their own gain.

First of all, I haven't read the manga nor have I been spoiled, so please refrain from any "you obviously didn't read the manga" response. I hadn't commented on any Oshi no Ko video before because I felt it would be out of tune with the enthusiasm that many other users have for "the most popular series of the season", but I feel that I have to comment on this chapter because I think that there are few things that could have been done much better since previous chapters. Without digressing too much, I want to confess that, with this chapter, I have confirmed that Oshi no Ko doesn´t transmit to me the emotions that it tries to give with its characters or scenes. I said it in the Boldcast´s live stream two weeks ago, things like Ai is the worst character in the anime from my perspective or the excellent result of the scene in the drama where Aqua acted thanks to he insulting the actor in a low voice was something very convenient, but this series doesn't give me the sense of realism that it seeks on its events. This time, it seemed very unreal to me how Akane managed to scratch Sumi's face at the distance they were. I mean, wouldn't it have been more "realistic" if, in her desperation, Akane squeezed Sumi´s arm too hard until she hurt her or, in the worst case scenario, pushed her? I'll sound picky, but that threw me off balance and got my attention more than the rest of the scene. The only thing that could "save" this moment, for me, would be that Sumi set her up where she would make a mark on her face in order to make Akane look bad on public. Another thing was the end of the chapter, how Aqua got there in time to save Akane. I understand that they will explain it well in the next episode, but I feel like it would have had a stronger emotional impact if it was linked to the way Aqua's mother died. What do I mean by this? Before Oshi no Ko came out, I didn't believe the comments about "this series is too wholesome" because the irony came through. Therefore, I deduced that the mother would die (and she did), but that it would be due to suicide. What's more, during the first episode I expected that suicide plot twist as Ai's career couldn't take off and it made me think that maybe there were people looking to ruin her life. Although she was murdered and we have a mastermind behind it, my expectations were that many other powerful people in the show business were behind it (such as the conspiracy theories of the decline that are being considered of artists like Britney Spears). But well, my theory seems to be just a product of my imagination, although I think that in that way it would have given more drama to the series with Aqua not wanting another idol to go through those same events. Finally, if I wanted to share my opinion, it is not to discredit Oshi no Ko nor trying to discourage others from seeing it. I think it's still an interesting series that I'll continue to watch week by week, but definitely not with the same enthusiasm that perhaps I had at the beginning because, I repeat, I don't feel that it conveys the emotions that each character and scene wants to give me. For a series that seeks to realistically portray the world of idols, entertainment, the internet, and fandoom (and they do it very well with the consequences. The scenes of Akane being depressed and the hateful comments were very well done), I feel that resolting to forced actions as causes for it ends up taking me out of the immersion. Thanks for reading this long text XD Have a nice day. 😊

What can i say Internet in a nutshell Toxicity at its finest 🙄🥲😔😆
