Aqua was probably able to transition to stage acting so well because he was already so analytical and production focused. Stage acting techniques were probably just a new set of inputs for him. As far as acting edgy and angsty goes, he's not just acting it, he's living it. His literal only reason for living is to track down his father so he can kill him with his own two hands. You aren't getting edgier than that. And I think that's a big part of why he brings that "What are they gonna do. fire me? I don't even want to be here anyway." type energy.
Fun thing about the OP, the title of the song is "GEMN". Gemini is the twins constellation. So take away "Ai" from the twins and what are you left with?
The production on this episode was top notch. Especially when Akane sat down by Aqua and Kana was moving the whole time in the background. The colors are so vibrant.
Just wanted to give a comment of appreciation. ^-^ Episode 6 of Oshi no Ko was my introduction to this channel. I was looking up other reactor’s responses and insights regarding the subject matter, and as a result I found one of the coolest reaction channels. Your competence in media analysis is refreshing, your community is awesome, your jokes are funny, and your aspirations to be a mom are inspiring. ❤ I have since then watched your Owl House, Avatar, My Hero Academia, Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood, and (some of, because I need to catch up 😅) Hunter x Hunter reactions. It’ll be fun to go back to Oshi no Ko again. ^-^ And I’m actually curious if that show was anyone else’s introduction to Alicia, or if not, what was? May you have the best, most beautiful babies Rat Queen. 👍🐀👑
If you were wondering about the kanji, "sakimori" is apparently a very old-fashioned term for soldier garrisons in ancient Southern Japan, and the way its kanji is read in this instance is completely irregular (or super antiquated) to my knowledge. When the kanji 防人 came up, I also thought it had to be pronounced as "boujin" or "bounin" and refer to a bodyguard or castle guard (it's written as protect + person). Akane could only know that reading if she were well-acquainted with the source material, has read about ancient Japanese history that wasn't taught in school, or both.
duuuuuuuude. your understanding of the akane paint scene in full detail is such a fresh breath of air. so many ppl watch this show and i swear they dont get whats happening its sad lol
26:35 felt called out because I’m still dealing with social anxiety as a 24 yr old adult. Not as much career wise but trying to get involved in social events with my Bible study group or friend of friends. I feel so childish since all my behavior points to “I don’t want to be here” when I actually do but I’m incredibly anxious.
You shouldn't feel bad about it, Alixia feels quite ignorant on this. People are allowed to be socially awkward/anxious, most of the time as in your case it's not even voluntary. I think the most important thing is just that you try to respond when/if people eventually try to reach out to you : )
@@AggerrI think less straight ignorance and more so coming from a limited perspective of being in an entertainment industry that relies on that active social engagement. And also cultural differences to as she acknowledged a minute later.
i hope you're prepared for best girl Akane to go beast mode this season, she's gonna pop off so much im HYPED as for Aqua being "edgy": his current goal for being alive is quite literally to kill his dad so idk why you keep bringing up how gloomy and moody he is LMAO. we've BEEN knew he's a dark and brooding guy, that's the way he chose to live as soon as he figured out who could've killed Ai back in Season 1. also i cant wait to see your new model/s!!!
Oshi no Ko season 1 is the only time I've finished watching an anime season and felt it was a 10 out of 10. Doga Kobo isn't just doing a great adaptation, with amazing art, great openings and endings, beautiful musical choices, and excellent voice acting. They're taking the source material and elevating it, using the animated medium to convey things better, to add flourishes, to add onto scenes. And it looks like season 2 is more of the same. ❣
43:46 about the ending, a good example of this for me would be stiens gate, when i first heard the ending at the start i thought "oh its pretty ominous, but its mostly just edgy" and i thought it didn't have much with the story itself, but at a certain episode it starts playing in a very powerful plot twist and the vibe of the song makes so much more sense It becomes a case of the main character realising what he has done and the consequences of his actions. It gave me a chill down my spine. By the way if you haven't seen it yet you should definitely watch stiens gate its so good
In Sweden, which from what I have heard is similar to Japan in this case, no one is going to talk to you if you go away by yourself like Aqua does here. Unless it's someone like a friend or (as in this case) a girlfriend. If you are just coworkers, then as long as they do not need you for anything work related you will be left alone.
This happens most of the time, because she is still streaming and her editor can upload to youtube, before she can upload to patreon. Its fine, it wasnt even a long delay and I take uncut everyday.
I think we were all like "Shibuya?!" *Jujutsu Kaisen flashbacks* You totally said what I was thinking LOL! That's a part of what's nice with how upfront you are about your own thoughts. Us watchers get to see our own thoughts reflected.
I agree that the first opening felt like it belonged in the anime where this opening feels like an opening. I think this was my favorite arc in the manga so I'm excited to see it animated and other's views on it.
Peak back. You will love this season so much! And i can't wait to see your reaction, especially to some scenes! It's unfortunate that in the comments there are some pathetic people that don't know anything about onk and still talk shit about it (shut the fuck up), and a couple of people that seem to clearly not understanding anything about the characters feelings. Oh well, it is what it is.
yes, the first opening is representing ai, that’s why you think it’s for “oshi no ko”. this opening is for aqua, since why it’s sort of edgy. the ending is for ruby. also the reason the mangaka said to revise the whole thing even tho she “said she liked it”, is because she actually said she likes the actors, and that the actors can do very well. this meant that she can make the play more complicated and better. that’s why she wanted to revise the whole thing. at first she didn’t think the actors could do what she made.
@@yamatosennin9249 Oh believe me, lot of people did not find that "obvious". They just thought she's doing "haha, just kidding, gotcha!" moment despite how visibly pissed she is during the change of tone at "all of it".
I don’t like being this kind of person but i was curious if you did/will react to Horimiya : The Missing Pieces (the "season 2" of Horimiya) Sorry for asking I can’t wait to see other Oshi No Ko reactions ! Love it ^^ Thank you for uploading that much🤍
Yeah, but the people around him don't know it, so socially he's still a teen. It is pretty funny to remind yourself every now and then that Aqua is like middle-aged mentally in these scenes. Dunno how much of his old life has kinda faded away though (besides the most important stuff, like avenging Ai) and hormonally he's still the same age he looks.
@@Flamewarden_Honoushugoshin exactly, his *brain* is 16 year old. That affects you. Last season he felt like he might just be Aqua, haunted by the ghost of Gorou. Impossible to say how such a thing would really work.
Definitely going to be watching ever episode as soon as they come out and again with you if you keep posting them! (and probably a 3rd time before the next one comes out...)
Jokes aside, I really think people should listen to some of queen bee songs aside from anime stuff. A lot of them are bangers. I recommend "abura" (oil)
I'm sorry. But what does you being public with your relationships and not being parasocial have anything to do with whether or not you are into idol culture?
Most corpo idols are contractually obligated to be single. This appearance is to romanticize them especially within Asia. This is common even now with jpop and kpop idols who have to make apologies or even retire when their relationship is outted. It’s why also vtubers hide being in relationships often because it generates more revenue to be single.
Oh hey, this anime. I really hope we get back to the hunting down the mother’s killer part, cause that kinda got completely forgotten last season. And that they don’t just forgive whoever did it. That would be complete dog water
@@ApX0HTzzz767 well, yeah. But technically, the father can be considered the actual killer, and the one who did the deed was the weapon used by the father when he told him where Ai lived.
I wouldn't say it got forgotten last season. Season 1 needed to set up how Aqua gets into the position and tools / connections to start investigating in the first place.
@@kelvinmok10 Yeah, fair. But it definitely pushed him aside to focus on Ruby and the idol group instead, since there was no more mention of the hunt until the last few episodes.
Alica. I have to ask: what do you think of AquaxRuby? Also btw not only was the song written for the anime but they formed a group for this song and has direct influence from the mangakas.
@@morrigannibairseach1211 asking about something that has nothing to do with the anime right now heavily implies its from the future in the manga. its not relevant. youre saying your question is more important than her being spoiled.
@@pluginpanda Except its not a spoiler that Ruby is Sarina who loved Goro who is now Aqua. Its not a spoiler that people have shipped them from the start. You whinging about spoilers is only giving more away than I ever did. Be ashamed.
@@morrigannibairseach1211 saying im spoiling for calling you out is a laughable defense at best. you say all that but they havent shown any romantic interest in the anime and so hinting at it at all is on you.
Man, IMO later development of this series kinda killed the hype for me, everyone knows which. I mean even if at the end it doesn't go fully with that route, the fact that it was even a factor to begin with still hurt the series for me. I'm still going to watch it because the production is insane and there still a whole lot of fun to be had but it will never be the same as it was with S1 when I was blissfully ignorant.
Not only is Mengo drawing this but Aka is on the record as saying he is making OnK for solely Mengo to be obsessed with. If you think its been averted you are missing things. Look at Mengo's doujins. Neither of them are against it happening. Mengo even ships them. She has all the set up, symbolism, themes, and tropes. There's a reason why other ships plaster their favorite over her.
@@morrigannibairseach1211 tbh I think the best course of action is to avert it. Aqua shows 0 interest with her. Also, I feel like there's 50% chance aqua dies towards the end.

I was not expecting season 2 to drop so soon but I'm hella hyped rn

This happens most of the time, because she is still streaming and her editor can upload to youtube, before she can upload to patreon. Its fine, it wasnt even a long delay and I take uncut everyday.
This opening fits the anime and especially this season so well. So your statement will quickly be backtracked once we get to the spicy stuff
I'm so excited for the new model and song covers! Thanks for the awesome reaction as always Alicia!
THAT AINT NO SOCIALLY ANXIOUS INTROVERT!
This was so good! it's complex and I had to pause to read the subs but it feels so good to be back in the swing of things with this series

Such a good way to start the episode off😂
No way I recently got back into watching deadman wonderland, jamming out to One Reason and Alicia brings it up literally the next day 😂
I feel betrayed. This didn't show up in my notifs, and I just learned s2 was releasing today T-T
I have a recommendation, It's mysterious disappearances and it's like suspense and some horror and with "plot" but over all the story is good
I don’t like being this kind of person but i was curious if you did/will react to Horimiya : The Missing Pieces (the "season 2" of Horimiya)
