  Unironically this was an absolute peak!

  Just as I was thinking: surely you can’t cast God as a child actor… Surely…

  Ruby finally knows the truth! I’m sure a massive weight has been lifted from her shoulders.

  Owner is back! Finally Miyako can get a little rest and now with both of them managing everything is surely going to accelerate to new heights!

  I read the first few chapters of the manga and I have to say, this is what you call a perfect adaptation. While I enjoyed reading the story, in anime visuals, music and direction really elevated this story to something truly incredible. Massive respect to all the artists involved in this project.

  Aqua there casually recruiting so-called god as a child actor.

  Unfortunately, it’s all downhill for Oshi no Ko after this. But because of how the manga ended. This is where I’ll plan to stop watching the anime.

  It is indeed the Aqua x Ruby route 💀

  Sarina/Ruby: You said you’d marry me once I turn sixteen

  Sarina/Ruby: Doctor (Aqua), I am turning sixteen now

  Sarina/Ruby: Bro (Aqua), give me your juice

  Other works would do some cowardly backpedaling, revealing that they are step siblings at the last minute.

  This writer is too big-brained for that, and choose to

  kill one of them off instead.

  I guess there are certainly fewer options when they are technically genetic twins 🗿

  (But the other girls are right there!)

  Proper thoughts / discussion:

  Absolute Cinema - Ruby version

  I love the Oshi no Ko formula of season finale. I love how there’s closure, but there’s still a hook leaving you wanting more.

  I am so glad that Aqua and Ruby got to know their past lives’ identities, and that Miyako got to get together with Ichigo again (though Ichigo got off too lightly IMO).

  Now that this series is entering the final phases, I wonder if Memcho would get her turn in the spotlight. Akane, Kana and Ruby had their turn, but not Memcho. She’s pretty much relegate to being a side character these days. Feels bad if she’s the only core member who got left out, and get less character development. Maybe she can be involved in a scandal whereby her actual age got leaked?

  Regarding that white-haired little girl, I’m surprised that she’s an actual person and not just a spirit. I wonder why all those crows flock to her, and how she handles them. Think of all the bird shit. Also, what’s her deal? She has some knowledge of what’s going on - could she be a reincarnated individual too? But there’s too little clue to guess at her motivations.

  Anyway, peak season once again. Looking forward to the next (and final?) season. I am aware of the manga ending, but I hope that the journey there won’t be disappointing.

  I think my only issue with this episode is that the music during the reconciliation scene was a little too on the nose. But other than that, it was great. I actually didn’t expect it to be as funny as it was, but I’m not complaining. Kana’s reactions were spot on. And now I know where all those wincest memes come from 😅
  Overall, I really liked this season. There were some cringe moments, and I have mixed feelings about the supernatural angle, but generally I’m mostly in this for the insight into the showbiz industry and the character interactions, which were great.
