Incredible how mainstream anime culture has become. Like you see kids in the mall wearing anime shirts and theyre not so much the nerdy kids anymore.

Huh, sounds like pretty generic anime music to me? Strange how this song of all songs is leading the charts, but I don't watch much anime
Oshi no Ko is popular.

Doesn't matter how mediocre EVERYTHING about it is.

Yes, very much so. The first "episode" was basically a feature-length movie setting up the story and was one of the best anime-related things that I've ever watched. The rest of the series after that, while it hasn't quite lived up to the hype of that first episode, has been very good. I would personally give the show a 9/10 based on what I've seen so far, but the last episode airs next week and they might announce another season for the future, so that could still change.

Plus, the anime is very popular and getting tons of views and discussion despite not even being on the most popular anime streaming service. HiDive somehow managed to license this one out from under Crunchyroll's nose, and it might be the most watched anime they've ever had on their service.

It's an instant classic. Mostly based off the start and the middle/boss battle sounding parts, but that's more than enough.

I dunno I think it's pretty musically different from most anime songs. I don't particularly like it myself but it's definitely a bit unique in the space at least. it's also by a pretty big-name group that has only recently started doing anime openings so they have a decent backing fanbase already

I prefer Stone Ocean over the second OP.

Other than the very beginning part where it sounds more like current HipHop-ish sound with the flow, sounds like everything else to me. just imo, but it makes sense if the anime itself is extremely popular
I mean the ominous choirs beneath the idol singing is pretty unique, as well as that mocking part near the middle

That's what I thought. It lost me a bit in the middle. Overall I liked it, though.
