I agree with Gigguk , watching Oshi No Ko without any prior knowledge about it just hits different, it's just so enjoyable.

I went into the first episode without knowing anything. I didn't even know it was movie-length until I wondered why it was still going on. Fantastic experience!

[@mistral9900]

They recommended the manga to me a month ago, and the person who told me about it specified not to search any information in regard. I confirm that walking in knowing nothing is the best depressive experience of the last years

"The Hero Is Dead" is definitely a contender for best anime opening, and the show itself is pretty funny and enjoyable.

[@rc-fannl7364]

Even if it's underrated, at least it gets noticed by most the big reviewers. Unlike hidden gem "My Clueless First Friend", a series that might appear to revolve about repeating the same cute misunderstanding, but actually has more depth than you'd expect at a casual glance. Episode 4 in the series is actually one of the best episodes I've so far seen this season.

[@Peppermint_fish]

I'm glad Gigguk will give Dead Mount a chance. The pacing is on the slower side but when the mystery starts to unfurl, it just doesn't slow down. My Home Hero is also underrated, a very smart series where the husband and wife are equally smart and caring for only their family

[@Zrs3820]

I'm shocked just how invested "My Home Hero" actually got me. It's a really good show.

most anime is extremely fatherless and degenerative

[@SB-hw7hp]

I like how you talking the good side of the father when he's murdering someone. Lol. No don't worry I understand it's for protecting his daughter, and her boyfriend is just purely a bad guy. So I don't mean to debating the father's work here.

[@Peppermint_fish]

@@Zrs3820 I've caught up with the manga. It's like watching a car crash that keeps going, and when you thought it's finally over then something happens again. I meant this in a good way. Although the husband and wife are smart and resourceful couple, the opponents are not purely idiots but everyone has their own goals and motivations. Everyone is making their moves on the chess board, but the husband understands that one wrong move then it's all over for his family so he's willing to go far. The question is, how far?

[@Zrs3820]

I'm surprised by the amount of unique shows we got this season compared to the last one. Like Oshi no Ko, Heavenly Delusion, Hell's Paradise, My Home Hero, Mashle and several others. And even got some fire sequels like Edens Zero S2, Konosuba spin-off, Vinland Saga S2 Cour 2 and many more.

so far so good

[@sweetdumpling8798]

Can someone explain why it’s so good? I’ve been seeing hype but the first episode was just boring imo the mc seems edgy no emotions then he just starts scream about how no one understands him and has a whole monologue about his wife. Does it get better like is anything gonna happen later or is it just gonna be a bunch of no stakes cool fights on some island.

[@AryanSingh-yy9mw]

​@@sweetdumpling8798 just get this, the whole premise of the story is Gabimaru learning to respect the value of life, and I don't know what made you feel he's a "edgy no emo" when in the very episode we are shown that his image of himself is false, ge may call himself a hollow but he loves his wife with all his heart to the point that he subconsciously tries to stay alive. It's really refreshing to see a character who's more of an adult than a teenager in shonen driven by pure love for his wife, a very primal and pure human feeling. That's all I can say right now since I haven't read the manga so I can't say if the story gets better or worse later on but right now, the direction im which its heading is all I ask for it to continue in

[@sweetdumpling8798]

@@AryanSingh-yy9mw I guess I just don't find his character motivation compelling with the "I love my wife so I gotta get back and be the person she belives me to be" thing since I dont really feel invested enough in the couple or the mc at this point with his stoic apathetic deadpan demenour which was why I thought it was edgy along with the op mc thou I understand he'll probably develop out of it later. Rn ig I'll continue to watch to see whatever the island has to offer bc that's the most interesting thing in the anime for me rn. Also ik its a shonen but I hope power scaling isn't ridicious later on bc everything seems to be real easy for mc to take down with minimal effort so I hope power scaling doesn't get to crazy like DBZ.

[@AryanSingh-yy9mw]

@@sweetdumpling8798 yeah, to each their own, although he does acts very edgy at moments so I can see where you're coming from and him being emotionless is probably going to stay for a while since right now he's even know as "Gabimaru the Hollow" but I hope the same about power scaling tho I do see it going at bit up since we haven't really seen much from any of the prisoner right now, but the mc gives the feel of kinda op character who's already done past his training arc

[@Key-qv9ej]

As someone who has read The Dangers in My Heart manga years ago and keeps up with it to this day. I will say it's a series that has surprised me with how well written the main leads are. It was once a series I thought at first was just weird, but now is one of my favorite rom coms of all time. Volumes 2-4 (assumingly episode 4-12 in the anime) is what really sold me on this series. It's a series I can constantly reread and find out things I missed because of how much love the mangaka has put into it.

And when ai talk or act in a way that is defnitely off and you know that is not a normal human behaviour, they don't highlight it, music keeps playing, no dramatic zoomings, as if they want it to be subtle

[@Lucifyx]

YES

[@aidanurmalita8021]

Just wanna add that despite it looks like a generic school romance shoujo anime, it's actually a SEINEN. It's a mature story despite the setting. This show has: - Wholesomeness - NO FANSERVICE - Good character development for every character - Wise, great life lessons packed in lighthearted way - Many show-don't-tell moments - More to the characters than we first see, either because of the prejudice or they try to hide something; so we got that mysteries on each episode - Minimalistic hints of romance that develops naturally I'm not kidding when I say this show will heal you. Edit: Mature story don't always have to contain sex, drugs, and violence; this series will prove you that.

[@smartalittlebit8943]

[@pougetguillaume4632]

I'm personally dropping hell's paradise after ep 3 I found the setting to be ludicrously conveluted and an artificial way of having a pretty generic arena battle royal: everyone who is sent there died so let's send criminals who don't matter but also let's send our best warrior to watch over them so that they also inevitably get murdered making the point about sending criminals who don't matter moot. Predictably the criminals are also super badass so the warriors get killed by the people they were supposed to watch over....... I guess the 2 main characters have been promising but are they, and their constant monologuing, sufficient to look past the shaky premise? I don't think so... Oh there's creepy monsters poking their nose too but that's hardly new in the world of battle shonen. Unless something super amazing happens later i'm not picking it back up, the art and concept drew me in but the execution is all over the place if i'm being honest. As you are a manga reader, is there anything i need to hear to make me reconsider before throwing the towel?

[@masterbaits4108]

[@penguinofdoom9830]

​@@pougetguillaume4632 You glossed over the fact that the criminals need to keep the warriors alive if they ever want to go back and receive the pardon which makes for an interesting dynamic. They start exploring this on ep 4

[@fr4nky2]

​@@pougetguillaume4632 youre not gonna watch jigokuraku for those things. dont expect something from a show it doesnt promise or you'll just make the experience bad for yourself, the whole point is to see gabimaru and others murder shit and try to survive and its doing a pretty good job at that. it could be that you dont like a show like that but its certainly not bad so far.

Oshi no Ko probably the STRONGEST first episode of most shows I've watched. Coming from a manga reader, It deserves all the attention it has gained. The adaptation only brings to the life the energy of Ai through music and EXCELLENT cinematography choices. For example, through out the first episode, the saturation and overall color palette changes based on the scene, which is typically normal, but it only goes to show how well the adaptation is done.

[@takanara7]

I feel like you can't really call it a "first episode" thought it's an entire movie. You would have to compare it to something like Your Name/Kimi no Na Wa or something. I mean, honestly I think it holds up *as* a movie but of course it's going to be a better "first episode" then something 20 minutes long, lol. You're basically a quarter of the way through the entire season when you're done with the movie. Given the plot, they pretty much had to do it that way, and I was a big fan of the Manga and love the fact it's #1, but... It's more like a movie then an episode lol.

[@AresExplains]

Despite initially having reservations about the plot of Oshi no Ko after it was spoiled for me, I found the show to be surprisingly worthwhile. For those who are unsure, I would recommend giving it a chance.

[@ae831]

I think everyone should go into it blind like I did. It was so so much more impactful and amazing than I expected. I thought it was gonna be a semi boring idol show but when I saw the first episode was basically a movie I knew I had to give it a chance. With that said HUGE spoiler alert ahead- I went in like 99% blind the other day and I was completely shocked when she got stabbed. I mean it came out of no where. And I for sure thought the ambulance would show up any minute and save her at the last second. I thought it was gonna be dramatic but they can't kill off what looked to be the main character in the first episode that would be ridiculous- wait why is she talking like that oh no wait she's actually about to die oh no she said I love you oh fuck she's totally dead. They really fooled me into thinking she was going to watch her kids grow up and I was so ready for that. I forgot that the actual MC actually died tbh it was just so wholesome. I still can't believe they killed her after making us fall in love with her honestly.

Let me open your eyes to the true nature of Heavenly Delusion. I guarantee you'll have a sour taste by the middle of the show. We already know that the show presents a surgical gender swap. The manga of this story presents raрe, mind break, рedoрhiliа, сhild sеx, hеrmаphrоditеs, gеnetic еxperimеntatiоn on сhildrеn, and humаn chimеrаs. I saw the early signs while watching the show and decided to see if the show is worth watching by checking the manga. It's nauseatingly twisted. Only hopelessly sick minds will get a kick from it.

[@dannyl8247]

Oshi no Ko is just amazing. Its first episode gives the viewer a slight look in to how certain aspects of the idol, film and entertainment industry works as a whole works. Plus the op is just a absolute banger. Looking forward to see the more in-depth looks in to the entertainment industry as the show goes on.

words cannot express how much i loved the review of insomniacs after school (literal autism screech when you mentioned it). ever since you reviewed yofukashi no uta i started to read insomniacs due to the similar themes of insomnia and ironically its something to read while i cant sleep. i cannot recommend it enough, i love the manga so much and this anime managed to make me feel those exact feeling i felt when i was first reading it at 3 in the morning

[@unmemorablehero]

As much as I am in love with oshi no ko, heavenly delusion has me hooked so much more. It reminds me of when Attack on Titan first came out and you had no idea what is going on, and you just wanted to know more and more. Also as someone who has (and still does a bit) suffered from insomnia, the opening scene in insomniacs after school was perfection. This season is jam packed with great anime.

It was admittedly cringe in the first few chapters at first, but then you realize it's middle school.

This cringe is about as realistic as it gets and godDAMN does it get good when it's balanced out with something sweet and wholesome. I binged the manga the past few days after catching up with the anime. This is a series you won't regret watching.

Hell’s Paradise’s first 3 eps captured me so firmly with its deep characterization and intriguing mysteries that I spent the next two days reading the manga… At which point I found out almost all character writing takes place in the first 5% of the story and the mysteries are largely revealed in the first 25% >_>’ Like I still dug it, but it’s really *just* a battle shounen… which makes it weird it opens up pretending to be something else.

[@davepatois297]

Mmmmmh I don't really agree. It shows its battle shounen roots as soon as the cast lands on thr island, and I really liked the characterization of everyone in the main crew when pushed to their limits in the later parts of the story. The mystery is _largely_ done early, but there's still some very important unanswered questions that make for some great twists all along the ride.

[@bookknight]

The ending is so worth it through

[@ClockFink]

@@bookknight So I’ve seen someone else in a different comment say something similar, and no sass, honest question: what do you mean by that? I mean the ending gives closure, I rather like how they get the win in the last fight, it’s not a BAD ending by any stretch, don’t get me wrong… but it definitely didn’t strike me as some incredible, all-time-great, “memorable FOR the ending” ending either… like really I felt like the series peaks pretty distinctly after Zhu Jin goes down the first time during the Hōrai arc… not to say there’s nothing fun after that (I really enjoyed all things Shija in particular), but it definitely felt like despite efforts to impress otherwise, it was more falling than rising tension from there… most of the fights after that are one sided rather than pitched, relative to the rest of the series. And the final epilogue is satisfying enough, but more utilitarian than impressive to me… I’ve seen many that were far, far worse, but the ending didn’t really stand out as one of the highlights of this series, to me, so just curious what about it wowed multiple people

[@Gabimaru513]

I’d actually argue the better characters (ex. Fuchi, Gantetsusai, the Aza brothers, Shugen, Shion/Nurugai) are much more fleshed out past the halfway point of the story. The very beginning is more focused around Gabimaru and Sagiri and exploring the eeriness and nature of the island itself and the battles are what introduces one to the story before all else

[@Gabimaru513]

@@ClockFinkthe stakes still felt pretty high (for me at least) when the second dispatch was sent out especially due to how they displayed Shugen as a genuine psychopath and extremist and Shija as a stronger Gabimaru. At that point in the story it was basically all or nothing for all of our main characters because that’s when we found out the elixir was finally perfected which also lead to a couple characters being killed off even if some were fake-outs which made sense in their natures but also allowed for better peaks in character development such as Yuzuriha finally dropping her guard around her teammates

If oshi no ko aired 1 episode a week, it wouldn't be even close to the top of the most well received anime of the season. It's a thing where the rich get richer. The show has hype from manga fans and publishers, so it allowed the extra airing time, which guaranteed it hooking most watchers.
