So far this season has been nothing but filler with minimal characters development and no development on the overarching plot of Oshi No Ko, the only time Ai is talked about is when Aqua is having another panic attack which he gets over by the end of the episode , so far (ep 6 at the time of writing) we have seen Ruby in I think 2 episodes both of the times she adds nothing to the story and disappears minutes later. However I do enjoy seeing Akane she is developing perfectly along side the story which annoys me so as far the only character development has been on “side characters” like Akane, Melt (who I personally don’t give a shit about ) and Abiko (how I again don’t care about)
I’ll give it the benift of the doubt though as I think it might be important for later though even if this is the case I don’t see why the main characters can’t develop alongside the supporting characters.
Characters 3/10
So far the story has been so dry, I can understand why people would like it though, as all that has been shown is the production of a boring as play that so far has taken up 6 out of I think the 12 episodes that this season will have, remember that Aqua is doing this play so he can move up in the FILM industry so unless this play somehow opens up every single door in the world for him to find out who killed Ai it’s a waste of time, if this play arc took up 3 episodes it would have been understandable but after 6 it becomes kind of unbearable. As for Ruby’s story nothing has happened, maybe I miss understood season 1 when I thought that this was about both characters, which is a shame as Ruby ended season 1 with a bang, further bring down my enjoyment of the season. On top of the filler that the play offers every second episodes Aqua (and/or the rest of the cast) goes of on some shity side mission that bores me to death.
Story 0/10
The one thing I can however not complain about is the art and animation this obviously being one of the highlights of the show, to put it simply it’s amazing, however it’s no perfect as sometimes i find that the animation out paces the show sometimes and at other times is being help back by the story, even though it is a small thing it is holding me back from giving the art a 10
Art 9/10
Overall this season is far from good but I will finish it and watch it to the end as I think it can and will get better from here, furthermore because I don’t think this will be the finnal Oshi No Ko Season and I am pretty invested in the story after season 1, even if I think it’s pretty bland and boring I can definitely see why someone would enjoy it but I just don’t see that being the majority of people.
