“Oshi no Ko” surpasses “Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood” and “Demon Slayer” – find out why

Oshi no Ko, the latest anime sensation, has taken the anime community by storm, surpassing even the beloved Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood and the highly anticipated Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba on MyAnimeList with an impressive rating of 9.32. This remarkable achievement has left fans astounded and eager to discover why Oshi no Ko has become such a phenomenon.

Created by Aka Akasaka, the mastermind behind the widely acclaimed series Kaguya-sama: Love is War, Oshi no Ko delves into the captivating life of Ai Hoshino, a Japanese idol who finds herself at a crossroads when an unexpected pregnancy puts her career on hold. The narrative unfolds as Ai navigates the challenges of motherhood while raising her two children, who are revealed to be passionate fans of hers reincarnated into new lives.

One of the defining aspects that sets Oshi no Ko apart is its visually stunning animation, which rivals that of a feature-length film. The premiere episode, running for an impressive hour and a half, even received a limited theatrical release in Japan, cementing its status as a cinematic masterpiece. Fans have been enraptured by the breathtaking visuals and the show’s ability to weave a compelling story, even though the world of idols may be relatively niche outside of Japan.

The overwhelmingly positive response to the first episode serves as a testament to the immense potential of Oshi no Ko. Achieving such a milestone based solely on its debut is a remarkable feat, capturing the hearts of viewers with its self-contained narrative arc that leaves them yearning for more. The question now arises: can Oshi no Ko maintain its position at the top of MyAnimeList rankings?

However, there are challenges that lie ahead for Oshi no Ko. Sustaining the high caliber of animation showcased in the premiere episode throughout the entire series may prove to be demanding. Fans fear a potential dip in quality in future episodes, which could dampen the overall experience. Furthermore, there is a looming concern that die-hard fans of Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood may resort to “review bombing,” unfairly criticizing Oshi no Ko in an attempt to reclaim their favorite series’ top position.

Nevertheless, the future remains bright for Oshi no Ko. If the show can uphold its exceptional quality and deliver consistent storytelling, it has the potential to dominate MyAnimeList rankings for an extended period. With the eagerly anticipated second episode slated to air on April 19, fans are anxiously awaiting the next chapter in this captivating tale, brimming with anticipation for what lies ahead in the world of Oshi no Ko.
