No anime fan is a stranger to the laurels of Oshi No Ko anime, its quick rise to popularity and success was rightfully rewarded with an immediate season 2 announcement. Except for trailers and a few key visuals, we don’t have any information regarding Oshi no Ko Season 2.
However, we know something extremely crucial, season 2 will adapt the best arc from the manga. If this statement makes you question which arc is it and why is it the best, here’s everything you need to know!
Oshi no Ko Season 2 will adapt the best arc from the manga: which one is it?
Oshi No Ko season 2 will pick up from the 2.5D Stage Play arc in the manga. At the end of the first season, we got a brief introduction to this arc with Aqua, Kana, and Akane getting cast in the Tokyo Blade play. Several reasons can be listed as to why the Stage Play arc is the best:
- During this arc, the story progresses with the three characters in focus. Their internal and individual dynamics are delved into. This amounts to great character development and seemingly effortless progression of the story, with an equally spectacular payoff at the end.
- Besides the main characters, all the side characters we get introduced to during the arc are explored fairly, independent of their association with the main characters.
- One of the primary themes of Oshi No Ko is the dark side of the entertainment world. The exploration of the behind-the-scenes and how it affects those involved makes the manga interesting to fans. This arc focuses on the steps and difficulties of a manga getting adapted into different mediums.
- It highlights the position, a mangaka finds themselves in when their work starts getting the deserved recognition. All this information is paired up with entertainment and follows a balanced approach towards both.
What to expect from 2.5D Stage Play in the anime?
The experience with Oshi no Ko anime has been quite enriching both visually and story-wise. The anime adaptation brilliantly builds up the excitement with the use of cliffhangers and music. The rivalry between Kana and Akane that we were teased with at the end of season 1 will be properly explored in the upcoming season.
The showdown between them in the manga is spectacular and something to look forward to in season 2. Our favorite characters will be playing different characters, this transformation will give us new versions of them to admire. All in all, there’s a lot to look forward to. Considering the history of the anime so far, it’s fair to expect a top-tier and near-perfect adaptation of the best arc.
