Could Oshi no Ko Change How We See Idol Culture in Anime Forever

It’s like watching the curtain drop at the biggest idol concert ever, but instead of applause, everyone’s just stunned. The way Oshi no Ko just flipped the script on how idols are shown, especially with that reveal about Aqua’s choices, feels like a total game changer. Then there’s Ruby’s attempt to lighten the mood with her over the top dance practice, which somehow made everything feel even more real. If this keeps up, maybe anime will start showing idols as actual people, not just perfect stars. What if this is all building up to a bigger message about fame and identity? I’m on the edge of my seat like a fan waiting for the encore—what do you all think comes next?

Oshi no Ko really doesn’t hold back showing the dark side of idol life. That scene with Aqua just hit different—like, you can’t look at idol anime the same way after this. If more shows get this real, maybe we’ll finally stop pretending idols are flawless and start seeing the pressure they’re under.

Oshi no Ko just refuses to sugarcoat the idol world, and honestly, it’s refreshing. Watching Aqua’s struggle with his choices makes the whole “idol” thing feel way more complicated than just singing and dancing. I’m hoping more anime start showing the darker, messier side of fame instead of just the sparkly surface.

Aqua’s whole vibe is honestly unsettling in the best way. It’s rare to see an idol anime dig this deep into the dark side of the industry. If Oshi no Ko keeps exposing the ugly truths, I wonder if future idol shows will even dare to go back to the “sparkles and smiles” formula.

Oshi no Ko honestly feels like it’s pulling back the glittery curtain on idol life and showing the mess behind it. Aqua’s choices are so raw, and Ruby’s energy just makes the contrast sharper. If more shows get this real, maybe we’ll finally see the darker side of fame in anime, not just the dream.
