Synopsis

In the entertainment world, celebrities often show exaggerated versions of themselves to the public, concealing their true thoughts and struggles beneath elaborate lies. Fans buy into these fabrications, showering their idols with undying love and support, until something breaks the illusion. Sixteen-year-old rising star Ai Hoshino of pop idol group B Komachi has the world captivated; however, when she announces a hiatus due to health concerns, the news causes many to become worried.

As a huge fan of Ai, gynecologist Gorou Amemiya cheers her on from his countryside medical practice, wishing he could meet her in person one day. His wish comes true when Ai shows up at his hospital—not sick, but pregnant with twins! While the doctor promises Ai to safely deliver her children, he wonders if this encounter with the idol will forever change the nature of his relationship with her.

I was stunned by the end of the 1st episode. Its almost as if all the promo videos of the anime I had seen were a lie and I found it difficult to understand how the story would progress given what happened in the end of 1st episode. At the same time 1st episode was the best episode in season One for that "Game of Thrones" level plot twist.

Entire anime is anime does an excellent job into giving us a glimpse into the entertainment industry in Japan. The show reminded me of the classic anime Perfect Blue by Satoshi Kon. Opening and ending credits are ...

Mixed Feelings
Personally I don't care about idol and showbiz they're just ordinary singers, I don't know why they call them that (Like hey they're idols but in a different sense).

As for the anime I only watched it because someone recommended me a manga that was just coming out in CZ otherwise I wouldn't have watched this. And I have to say that the manga surprised me and this isn't bad either, but personally it's not something I'm interested in, since anime about idols is mainly about singing, dancing and I'm not into that kind of stuff and I'm not interested in showbiz in general.

So I give ...

I want to discuss the isekai genre.

This review contains minor spoilers.

There are numerous isekai anime, such as Oshi no Ko and Mushoku Tensei: Jobless Reincarnation. However, for many anime, the isekai premise is merely a narrative device to grant characters supernatural abilities, like self-awareness or sharp wit. For example, in Oshi no Ko, no explanation is provided for why the characters are reborn as Ai’s children, despite dying at different times and places. The show glosses over this, which feels unsatisfying and unreasonable. Even though isekai might not be the main focus of the show it's like forgeting their identity and being and starting all ...
