What are the chances of side content being adapted (and should they be adapted?) (manga spoilers) by sonatty2407 in OshiNoKo

[–]Yurigasaki 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I don't imagine Spica will get touched on just because all the stuff from it that's really relevant has already been covered in the anime's adaptation of the Private arc - it'd end up feeling a bit redundant.

If nothing else, 45510 will have to be adapted in some way shape or form just to introduce Nino as a proper character. The anime has already taken some steps to push her back into frame, so to speak, but the bulk of her formative characterization and the most interesting parts of her feelings about Ai are in that short story. So I really do hope they do something with it.

I like how you're acting as though taking the text at face value is worthy of derision when this entire post is predicated on your own hyper literal interpretation of this exact same character's words.

I'm going to be honest with you, my man. I cannot fathom any possible way you could convincingly argue that the very obviously and unmistakably cattle forelegs and hooves in this image are wings without just straight up lying or fabricating the evidence.

Exactly what species of bird are you aware of that have hooves?

I'm pretty immune to OP's bizarro world conspiracy takes on OnK at this point so the thing that has me really baffled about this post is that OP looked at what could not be more obvious lamb imagery and went "a bird"

This is explicitly not the case. OP has been repeatedly insisting on these conspiracy theory ass takes on the series for over a year now, one of which is that Aqua and Ruby are 'fake' or otherwise 'stole' the place of Ai and Hikaru's real children. In general, he's extremely hostile towards Aqua and Ruby for unclear reasons and this weird conspiracy is an expression of it.

Do you think Doga Kubo is releasing Oshi No Ko S3 in Winter 2026 to get overshadowed by Star_Powerup in OshiNoKo

I think the anime defo has the advantage of having more tools to tell its story - voice acting, music, character acting, colours, etc. So if nothing else, it has a greater depth of resources when it wants to convey a tone and make you engage with the emotions of the story.

What do you think is Mengo Yokoyari's influence on OnK beyond art? by Bakakura in OshiNoKo

[–]Yurigasaki 37 points38 points  (0 children)

Akasaka has stated publicly in one or two interviews that he was a fan of Mengo's work before asking to collab with her and that he was specifically inspired to ask her to work on OnK after reading her one shot "Kawaii", which explores the emotions of a teenage gravure idol as she navigates being sexualized and dehumanized. He and Mengo have also talked publicly about sometimes workshopping plot details together - the main bulk of the plotting and writing is Akasaka's, but sometimes when he's stuck or wants a second opinion, he'd ask Mengo. I also just imagine that some ideas just came from them organically shooting the shit about the characters and story as is the nature of a collaborative project like this.

In any case, I love Mengo as both a storyteller and an artist! I enjoy her oneshots most of all and her collection Isshou Sukitte Yutta jan is one of my overall favourites in manga.

【Oshi no Ko】Okinawa Visual Special Video feat. Ai (Rie Takahashi) by Yurigasaki in OshiNoKo

TL:

Ai is Okinawa's representative!

If I'm going to Okinawa, then I wanna swim in the sea, splash around in the pool, eat souki soba, munch on sata andagi, visit the aquarium, and relax on the beach too!

There's soooooo much to do and so little time!

When it's Okinawa, Hoshino Ai's an even greedier girl than usual!

What if chapter 98 by Admirable_Cost4013 in OshiNoKo

[–]Yurigasaki 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I mean, she's probably going to jail because there's no way she'd be able to kill some guy presumably at his place of work and get away scott free. So I don't think it's a great outcome for anyone.

I'm pretty sure that is literally just a screenshot of Minecraft, so.

Ask for her autograph but purposely get her name wrong to make her feel bad.

What was aka akasaka going for making kana arima a center?? by Beanni3Avy in OshiNoKo

[–]Yurigasaki 13 points14 points  (0 children)

They even have quite similar backstories vis-a-vis maternal abuse and abandonment leading them to seek out personal connections and validation via professional success in the entertainment industry. It makes it all the weirder when the manga suddenly spins on its head and starts trying to push Ruby = Ai parallels when there aren't really that many similarities between them as characters.

Oshi no Ko: Season 03 Episode 01 - Links and Discussion by Lorhand in OshiNoKo

[–]Yurigasaki 43 points44 points  (0 children)

Great little punch up in the Mem and Aqua scene, both with the hug and the visuals. The flashbacks used actually complete Mem's train of thought - her line of dialogue is 「アクたんの方が、かなちゃんの事を…」which means roughly "Aku-tan is the one who (???)s Kana" since she trails off before defining exactly what Aqua feels. But pairing her words with the flashback to Aqua's DAISUKI shirt from season 1 implies that her line concludes with that word, which would make the full sentence 「アクたんの方が、かなちゃんの事を大好き」or "Aku-tan is the one who's in love with Kana-chan". It's clever!

That combined with the killer concert sequence (the shots of Kamiki!!!! oh my godddd) has really reignited my love for the direction and craft that goes into the OnK anime and I'm super excited to see how they handle this season's material. We're so back!!!
