We barely see any of Aqua and Ruby, but it still manages to pack a punch. It takes a moment to remember that Aqua is still looking for Ai’s killer, but we’re slowly seeing everything that is wrong with the entertainment industry and getting a lot of insights.

We feel like we’re repeating ourselves, but Oshi No Ko really keeps getting better with every episode. Episode 5 doesn’t disappoint and reaches peak comedy with Aqua’s new job. It looks like a lot of romance is underway, and the anime has now gone from melancholic mystery to slice-of-life to romantic comedy in the span of five episodes.

The show gets better with each episode and incorporates another dark secret of the entertainment industry in its narrative.

Soon it is revealed that Ai is, in fact, not the protagonist at all, but her son Aqua and his sister Ruby. Aqua believes he is destined to find Ai’s killer, as he remembers his previous life where he was killed by the same person. Aqua and Ruby are all grown up now and have to pick their respective career paths. How far will Aqua go to find out his mother’s killer?

The only thing that could knock “The Last of Us” off the top of the breakout shows ranking was time.

The relatively stable demand for “Rabbit Hole” is a good sign for the streamer, since content that follows a weekly episodic schedule is usually prone to seeing dips and spikes in demand during its run.

The best part is that fans of either genre will enjoy it, and if you like them both, you have an even better advantage. In Oshi No Ko episode 2, we saw the return of a grown-up, Kana Arima, ready to befriend Aqua and learn all his acting ways. Will she be able to break Aqua’s hard shell? We may find out slowly. Ruby finally has the chance to become an idol, thanks to Miyako’s presence of mind and Aqua’s concern for his sister.

Initially, it seems as if Ai is our lead character, a beautiful, adored, and celebrated singer with a need for a family to fulfill her empty life as an orphan who was left behind by her mother.

“Oshi No Ko” is a new anime series on Netflix that released a roughly 1 hour and 25-minute prelude to the actual series. As a non-manga reader, this episode is shocking to watch. For starters, unlike what the poster gives off—an idol life—the first episode is packed with emotional scenes: reincarnations, murder, childhood trauma, the harsh reality of the entertainment industry, and so much more! While watching 25-minute cute anime episodes is the norm, there is never a dull moment in “Oshi No Ko,” episode 1. Apart from us noobs, the anime community, too, has been entirely taken by storm by the perfect adaptation of the beloved manga and how detailed the last few scenes have been, making it a super hit with a prologue episode.
