Oshi no Ko is being ignored, they say

The second season of "Oshi no Ko" has generated a lot of debate among Japanese netizens due to its apparent lack of impact compared to the first season, which was a resounding success. Despite the great expectation, many consider that the series is going unnoticed, which has led to various comments on social networks.

One user commented, "Isn't she being overlooked? The current issue is quite relevant, about a manga author who intervenes in the writing of the script of a play, causing the original screenwriter to retire." However, others are of the opinion that "the current arc is the weakest in the manga" and that the series "is airing too late, a year is a long time to wait."
Despite the criticism, there are those who defend the quality of the current season, pointing out that "it is very entertaining". However, there is consensus that the success of the first season was largely due to the popularity of its opening theme song, performed by YOASOBI. "During the first season, the only thing that was talked about was the opening, not so much the content of the episode."
The series "Oshi no Ko" is about the dark secrets and challenges of the entertainment industry in Japan, featuring an intriguing and emotional story that attracted a large audience in its first installment. "The plot of the second season is still interesting, but the speed with which we consume and forget content in the age of TikTok is alarming," muses one user, suggesting that the rapid obsolescence of trends could be one of the reasons for the lower popularity.
Other netizens have pointed to the lack of impact of the new opening and the absence of favorite characters as possible factors. "The absence of Ruby, who is extremely popular, has affected the reception of the season." Some believe that the change of theme song has also had a negative influence, "YOASOBI's first opening was legendary. Not using a song of that caliber for the second season was a mistake."
Despite these diverse views, the discussion about "Oshi no Ko" continues, showing fans' strong bond with the franchise and their concern for the evolution of the series. "The story is still good," concludes one user, reflecting the hope that the series will regain its place in the spotlight.
