New Season 3 poster
Oshi no Ko returns in January 2026

Can't wait for the peak

Can't wait for Aqua's/Touki's lover to return to carry this series again.

>>282250497 (OP)
THe worst thing about Oshi no Ko is that the reincarnation element is completely pointless. There's no reason for Aqua and Ruby to have been born with full memories of their past life. If the reincarnation plot was completely removed, Aqua could still be looking for Ai's killer and his father.
The baby being born with the full memories of an adult man is really fucking weird and completely pointless to the story.

>>282250616
>If the reincarnation plot was completely removed, Aqua could still be looking for Ai's killer and his father
no he wouldn't because he would be just a dumb 3 year old child, retard

>>282250497 (OP)
It's weird that Akane tries to kill herself and then is fine for the rest of the show. You'd think there'd be some trauma/affects on her character. But no, apparently she was just having a bad day, tried to ACK, got saved and then is completely mentally fine afterwards.

>>282250497 (OP)
>Can't wait for the peak
the first season is the only peak part of the story

Frieren S2 + Oshi no Ko S3 + JJK S3 + Medalist S2
this is going to be the greatest season in anime history

>>282250636
she gained someone to attach to

>>282250670
>Medalist S2
what is the appeal of that?
>this is going to be the greatest season in anime history
no lol, not even close. texhnolyze and kino no tabi duo from spring 2003 solo this team

>>282250636
>It's weird that Akane tries to kill herself and then is fine for the rest of the show.
almost as if...they solved the problem for why it happened, retard

Best girl and winner!

>>282250497 (OP)
Knowing how shitty the ending to the manga is turned me off from watching the anime

>>282250670
I'm getting erect just thinking about it

>>282250632
When he gets older, he'd try to find his Mums killer.

>>282250738
So you're basically saying that girls attempt suicide for attention, when they don't really have any real mental health struggles.

>>282250824
>bullying stops, she becomes famous and liked
>"WAAAAA, WHY ISN'T SHE KEEPS ON KILLING HERSELF!?!!"

>>282250695
>texhnolyze
Only retarded millenial pseuds watched this garbage

>>282250999
i agree its audience is idiotic, but the anime itself is good. great even. easily a competitor for the greatest anime ever made

>>282250760
>winner
is not Aqua's girlfriend unlike Akane
is not Aqua's oshi no ko unlike Ruby

What did she win?

>>282250497 (OP)
Anime original incest ending when?

>>282251220
unfortunately never

>>282251190
>is not Aqua's girlfriend unlike Akane
Akane just a substitute.
>is not Aqua's oshi no ko unlike Ruby
Ruby actually is not Sarina, she just thought she is Sarina.
And it is TRUE Goro.
>What did she win?
The super star of Hollywoods.

Is the kiss in S3 or nah

>>282250497 (OP)
>Ruby's focused chapter
>peak
Although to be fair everything after S2 are garbage

>>282251423
Why are they even doing this anyway? Is Kana's merch money really that good?

Kana won

>>282250497 (OP)
Can't wait for K*na behaving like a crybaby loser who had to spread her legs to ShimaiD in order to stop her career from falling.

>>282251190
She was the last to touch Aqua.

>>282251645
To bitchslap him.
It means she lost because her las thing she did was desecration of a corpse.
Luckily she got what she deserved... a well placed slap from Miyako and Jamal, Tyrone, Deshawn, Denzel and Dax's 50cm dicks.

>>282251684
Cope harder, Ak*nefag.

>>282251707
Already seething, K*naschizo?

kanatard killed the manga

>>282250497 (OP)
>Can't wait for the peak
I can't wait to see the anime-onlys' reaction to all the dogshit developments that will happen through the season.

They really ramped up Akane's presence in official art and merch after she won that popularity poll after the manga ended.
Shame, too little too late.

Rubykeks and Akaneschizos want to go through another humiliation ritual

>>282250497 (OP)
Ai Hoshino died like Bruiser Brody.

>>282251444
When they get to the movie arc in S4, they can practically double their merch money by selling the current B Komachi dressed as the old B Komachi. Plus Akane dressed as an idol for the 30 seconds she plays Takamine.

>>282251364
Nah. S3 will probably end with Kana's scandal getting overridden by Aqua revealing he and Ruby are Ai's children, or Aqua and Ruby discovering each others identities.

>>282252307
Yeah, I don't plan to watch, but I'm morbidly curious how the anime onlies will perceive this. Especially since they probably don't know about Kaguya going to shit after the Ice Kaguya arc either.

>>282250670
>>282250497 (OP)
>Giving a shit about Frieren after the awful mage exam arc
>Giving a shit about Oshi no Ko at all after Tokyo Blade
>JJK falling apart during the culling games
Medalist is okay.

>>282252447
It must be nice being an anime only when Kanna is the worst girl in the end.

>>282252701
That image he posted is from like 5 years ago now, Akane is the most popular character last time they bothered to check with the entire fanbase post manga end

>>282252669
If it ends there, the rest should be adapted into a movie, heavily rewritten and then maybe it has a potential to save the godawful ending.

>>282252782
I don't think they would even need to do much to fix the ending, they just need someone not as lazy as Aka to tidy up the details and fix the pacing.

>>282250824
You have two main girls in the cast who never actually get over their mental issues and one of them quite literally pretends to because that's what they want to see out of an idol

>>282250497 (OP)
These arcs were really bad in the manga, can the anime save it?

>>282250768
>>282251220
>>282251423
The only things I'm looking forward to in this are the Aqua x Ruby scenes getting finally animated

>>282250636
She wasn't traumatized by the suicide but it's clearly shown later that she wasn't mentally sound to begin with.

>>282252307
Anime-onlies won't care. They have short-attention span and don't get invested. They didn't care about SnK shitting the bed, they won't about OnK.

>>282250497 (OP)
is there any chance that Aqua ends up with Ruby?
i don't feel like reading this unless i know it happens

>>282253766
Fat fucking zero percent chance. You're not missing much anyway, manga goes to shit after Tokyo Blade.

>>282253766
Don't bother, Hackasaka is a seething fag who enjoys disappointing people.

>>282251190
she is aka's oshi no ko

>>282253766
his sister?? fucking none, he never looked at her that way

>>282253766
Aqua ended up with the fishes

>>282250616
The reincarnation element is important for Ruby because it's near impossible to set up her mental hangups around being immobilised and her thing with the doctor without the memories of her previous life as Sarina. Ruby herself being unimportant for most of the story is a seperate issue.
Aqua on the other hand could've just been written as a super intelligent kid traumatized by Ai's death. His previous life and experience as a doctor was barely utilised, largely because he was so revenge focused.

>>282252757
>That image he posted is from like 5 years ago now

>>282254171
Anyone remember when people predicted Aqua would use his super surgery skills as a doctor to save wounded Ruby/Kana/Akane?
Bad times.

>>282254171
>>282254209
Aqua should have just been a Yakuza thug like Aka originally planned. That would have at least explained his general incompetence.

>>282254171
>Ruby herself being unimportant for most of the story is a seperate issue.
The show didn't need Ruby at all, she could be just a normal girl and nothing would have changed.
Never going to read or watch anything written by Aka again.

>>282254209
The way the writing was going, I was unironically expecting Akane to demonstrate better medical skills than Aqua, because she taught herself medical knowledge offscreen to prepare for one of her TV roles or something.

>>282254240
Yakuzaqua would've just pushed Kamiki over the cliff without thinking about it. It would've worked out better for everyone.

>>282254248
>Kana stole Ruby's screentime as idol.
>Akane single-handedly figured out who orchestrated Ai's death, something Aqua should have done.
Why doesn't Aka care about his own protagonists?

>>282254173
Memcho deserved to be in a better story. Well, most of the characters did, but Memcho especially.

>>282254353
this

>>282251315
>subsitute
Kana was just a deepless crush
>Ruby actually is not Sarina, she just thought she is Sarina.
Retard.

Is it true that the threads was mostly dead before season 1 of the anime aired?

Ruby's so tight...

>>282254417
Aguwa...

Akasaka sucks.

>>282254417
Memcho...

>>282254400
Yes. Most we could get was 200 before it got archived

>>282254400
Yes. Sometimes we didn't have a thread for the new chapter.

>>282254400
*were
>>282254417
>>282254451
That's grimm. It probably didn't help how boring Mainstay and Scandal arcs were.

Did Ruby have any fans before chapter 122/123 were released?

>>282254530
No.

>>282254579
No there was a single guy who saw Ruby as waifu and not an object for incest fetish

>>282254417
nameless producer....

>>282254321
I get the impression that Akane wasn't originally planned as a major character, but then Aikane and the love triangle with Kana happened, followed by JIF and Tokyo Blade, and the two of them became more interesting to write about than Ruby. Mainstay was an attempt to put Ruby back into the spotlight that Aka bailed on before the arc even finished.

Ahahahaha

As long as you love your wife with all your heart, she can't lose no matter what!

>>282254980
I always thought Akane was shoehorned in after the whole suicide attempt plot, especially because she didn't appear in the prologue interview.
But some fans believe she was planned from the start because Aqua read a book as a kid that had a girl named Akane who plays a detective role.

>>282255069
>especially because she didn't appear in the prologue interview
Assuming all of those interviews were being conducted by Kamiki, and not just the last one with Aqua, you could reasonably assume that Kamiki or Akane would be smart enough to not want to be in a room alone with the other.

>>282255069
>>282255265
But yeah, my theory is just a post hoc rationalisation.

Seriously, did noone expect the hack to give this sort of ending after that cliffhanger?

>>282255054
>jobbed to chadsuke

>>282253766
Same chance as Kanakane yuri ending

>>282255378
I do wonder if Aka chickened out on killing Akane for whatever reason, or if he never planned to kill her but couldn't be arsed to resolve the fake cliffhanger properly.

>>282255378
What was it like when this chapter was released?

I'm thinking Arima Kana won

>>282255631
Oh even Japanese fans suspected that the original plan was to kill her.

>>282255538
>>282255677
I'm thinking Arima Kana won
She sure did.

>>282255677
Japan...

Ruby is so tight

>>282255677
Everyone ever...

>>282255796
Worst case scenario, Akane could play the role of Aqua for a bit. She's already played two of the Hoshino family, may as well go for the trifecta.

>>282252447
>Ai and Kana basically tied
Based ngl, now just reboot the series with where they're the same age and we're back in business

Nobody won.
>Akane becomes a crazy occultist cat lady
>Kana fucks off to America to star in porn movies
>Ruby gets mindbroken and copes with being an idol until her career ends and kills herself

>>282255677
Many are saying this.

>>282256509
Pretty sure Frill won

>>282256509
If anything, Kamiki unintentionally won a Pyrrhic victory.

>>282256509
Tsukuyomi and her cult won.
Ruby will become their new anti-christ and Akane will join them for Aqua's reviving.

So what happened to Akane's dad knowing about Aqua's suicide kill? Was that made up?

>>282257038
I skimmed through a ChatGPT translation of the LN, and it's never brought up. Akane's dad only teaches her profiling when she's a kid, and isn't mentioned in the present day.

I won.

>>282257253
Ai-chan...

>>282257253
Ruby...

>>282257038
>>282257208
That being said, it is odd that forensics didn't pick up anything unusual about the crime scene. Aqua's 'plan' would've failed if the investigators found the knife that only had his fingerprints on it.

>>282250670
Also in 2026:
>Bocchi S2
>Mushoku Tensei S3
>MahoAko S2 (hopefully)
2026 will be perhaps the most stacked year in anime history. Is there any year that even comes close?

>>282250497 (OP)
The reason the ending is so bad is Aka wanted to screw over Arima Kana, the manga artist Yokoyari Mengo's self insert, for the latter refusing to suck his micropenis.

>>282258096
Kill yourself

>>282255677
Based.

Akane is so loose

>>282258360
Kana...

>>282250670
>>282250695
>>282250805
>>282252675
>>282258096
I for one am waiting for 2027, hoping Studio Orange will announce the second season of Houseki no Kuni, for the 10 year anniversary of the anime. It's not too late yet.

Will S3 introduce Akane's fated lover, Wilbur?

>>282259222
the manga has ended so

While /onk/ died, Akaneschizo won

>>282257253
Akane...

>mindbreaks schizos for literal years
Yep, she won

>>282258172
I choose to believe this is true because I hate Aka

the ending ruined it, i wont watch.

>>282260239
This. The end was really bad.

i'm thinking everyone lost.
Bigly

>>282260615
Aka won.

>>282260615
I didn't since I dropped the series less than 10 chapters in

>>282258096
>Bocchi S2
Which one?

>>282250670
And we will never get to see it because ww3 hits first kek

She deserved to feel true love

>>282252669
>>282252782
OnK had already shit the bed the moment crow loli showed up to spill out all the answers to Ruby out of nowhere. There's nothing to salvage there and the only momentum that it kept was the love square around Aqua. That's why the end is so shitty, because it fails to resolve the only plot point that could make people care about the manga after the mystery went to shit.
Also, Kaguya didn't go to shit after the Ice Kaguya arc, it went to shit during the Hayasaka arc which was still a good read but had a shitty resolution, and the problems only exacerbated from there.
>>282253734
SnK didn't go to shit besides maybe having an unfulfilling ending depending on your opinion.

>>282262618
She did not, she rejected the only man that loved her
