You ever feel like you just walked backstage at a massive idol concert right as something wild happens? Watching the reveal about Aqua’s latest move honestly gave me chills, kind of like the time Ai’s secret got out but with way more at stake. The way the show is tackling fame and identity feels way different from older idol anime—like, it’s brutally honest about how much everyone pretends to be someone else. Then you have Memcho somehow managing to trip into viral fame with her accidental stream fail, which was hilarious given all the heavy stuff. I wonder if Oshi no Ko is warning us that fandoms shape idols as much as the idols shape themselves—maybe there’s even a hidden message about losing yourself to stay relevant. Previewing new episodes now feels like opening a present wrapped in neon lies. Anyone else got wild theories or fav moments lately?

Literally shook when Aqua dropped that whole announcement. It’s like he’s living multiple lives and you can’t tell where the real him stops. The whole vibe around idols faking it for the crowd feels way darker than any Love Live or Wake Up, Girls! moment. Kind of makes me rethink idol culture entirely.
