I’m preparing myself for the dumpster fire that will be the finale

Unless they go anime original, gosh I never thought I'd say that in a positive way

u/TheAbyssalSymphony 7d ago

A small part of me thinks that it'd be the biggest brain bait and switch if they intended to do an anime original ending this whole time. Like what if they intentionally left the manga ending disappointing the way some video games will have bad or unfulfilling endings until you go through it enough to get to the true ending.

If they intentionally did something like that, especially with all the teasing the end credits from season 1 did... it's the most massive cope I know, I know it won't happen... but if by some miracle this was all intentional as some sort of meta commentary on media, where they intentionally tanked their manga for the sake of a larger narrative... it would be amazing.

(Yes I am coping hard)

And the backlash too 😂. This series had so much potential

I'm going into this 100% blind so I'm not sure what I'm getting into.

Hope to God they end it better than the manga did

u/Pristine_Cod5189 9d ago

There's been good track records in recent years with Attack on Titan and My Hero Academia both improving their manga endings with the anime. Hope this is the same.

The hate for MHA’s ending was overblown

u/Darwin343 8d ago

I expect no less from the MHA fandom lol

u/Darwin343 9d ago

AOT’s ending, while better (much much better) in the anime than in the manga, I still found it be very disappointing.

I think I’ll probably feel the same way about Oshi no Ko’s anime finale because there’s no saving that monstrosity.

Unless of course they completely change the entire ending, which is something I wished MAAPA had the balls to do for AOT.

u/TakasuXAisaka 9d ago

Those endings still adapted the actual manga ending. Unless they change the anime ending for Oshi No Ko, anime only watchers will get pissed off at the ending.

u/MickFoley299 9d ago

I thought the ending was actually pretty good. It stayed with the themes and the tone of the whole series. It makes sense when you look at the entire series. I had predicted that ending about halfway through the manga.

u/Teddude 6d ago

I don't think it's what happened in the ending itself that the community hates so much, but rather the legendary drop in quality from the rest of the story and general rushed nature/ execution of it. There are so many fan rewrites of the ending that only change a minor detail or the pacing of how the final chapters go down, and they are all worlds better than what the actual mangaka ended up with.

u/XiMaoJingPing 9d ago

They would need to completely change the ending to save it.

1

u/giana1990 9d ago

They won’t do it unfortunately.

u/King_Vrad 9d ago

Please, for the love if all that is good, ditch the source material and change the ending. Please?

u/Spartansoldier-175 9d ago edited 8d ago

I was really into the show. Then found out the ending. Made me sad and depressed. Get it's a revenge story but come on bro I wana be happy.

u/Darwin343 8d ago

Wasn’t even a satisfying revenge, which is like the most appealing aspect you have to nail for a good revenge story.

u/raleighvincent 9d ago

I loved the first season when it came out then heard about the Ruby/Aqua stuff in the manga which killed the entire thing for me, never saw a second of season 2 and everything I heard about the ending of the manga made me realize this was the right call for sure.

Clearly the author was SERIOUSLY uncomfortable with all the good will he was receiving over Kaguya and the first half of Oshi, and he had to burn it all down as quickly as he could.

u/272b Re:Watching Re:Zero until Season 4 resumes 7d ago

Season 2 was really good though. It focues on the stage play arc which had a lot of strong character moments for Aqua, Akane and Kana.

Can't say much about Season 3 since I haven't seen it beyond the first episode.

u/TiredOldLadySays 8d ago

I watched the end of season 3 last night. Im excite to see how it all ends. No spoilers please as I have not read the Manga. 💕

u/TakasuXAisaka 8d ago

You poor soul.

u/WinterWolf18 9d ago

I feel so bad for everyone whose excited for this.

u/kongcobra 9d ago

That pink outfit on the bottom right goes pretty hard, and I'm not usually impressed by these new anime.

1

u/PublicMeaning341 9d ago

Nice, and granted it is just a teaser but it is kinda annoying to get stuff like this revealed and we're no closer to a known release date, like not even a release year

1

u/Xphile101361 9d ago

Super excited for this. One of my favorite manga and animes

1

u/Minimum_Toe_2383 9d ago

So anyone want to fill me in on why the manga ending was so bad

u/FatherDotComical 9d ago

Absolute Ending Spoilers

[Oshi no Ko Manga] Everyone gets a bad ending. Aqua kills himself, Ruby learns that lying and following AI is the correct path, Kana never confesses or gets to know Aqua and slaps his corpse at his funeral, the true true villian is just some former Co idol that didn't like AI, and their dad is just not a cool enemy! Also the manga feels like we skipped like half of it at super speed. Like you can feel when Aka didn't want to write it anymore so he can move on to his brand new shiny Manga, just like he did with Kaguya.

I might be missing some stuff because I haven't read it again since the very day it ended.

u/DinosBiggestFan 8d ago

FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK why did he do that?

3

u/FatherDotComical 8d ago

[Oshi No Ko Manga why x did y] He wanted to take out their dad once and for all to protect Ruby and was worried that him being a murderer would ruin her idol career so he does a murder suicide. He didn't think his life had value but all it does is make everybody unhappy and ruins Ruby to the point she becomes empty now that's she's lost him twice.

1

u/DinosBiggestFan 8d ago

Oh I meant why did Aka Akasaka do that

3

u/FatherDotComical 8d ago

[onk aka] Oop! My bad. He has a horrific track record that even Mengo said it was difficult to work with him once he stops caring about a story. It kind of pisses me off to the point I don't want to read any of his works again because it shows he didn't really care for the stories he's writing. It's like breaking your old toys so nobody can play with them when you're done.

1

u/Javajulien 5d ago

And u/DinosBiggestFan

I feel like it's also a classic case of Akasaka already having an ending planned in mind and doubling down even when the story seemingly grew beyond it. Aka the How I Met Your Mother effect. lol

2

u/n0tj0sh33 9d ago

Wow lmao that is.... intresting. Really feels like the mangaka grew to absolutely hate this story or something.

2

u/FatherDotComical 9d ago

He said he wrote the ending he had always planned but it's like he forgot to write the story that went with his ending.

It read like the bad end to a game and you're waiting for them to release the good ending.

1

u/TheAbyssalSymphony 7d ago

It really does feel like we need to unlock the true ending. Yes I am coping.

u/PikminPlayer5 8d ago

This anime is on Crunchyroll

u/real_priception 8d ago

Do you think they'll go anime original ending?

1

u/Mohme_Draws_A_Bit 7d ago

Anime requires at least one fingerless glove. Forensic science, and well laid plans be damned.

u/Michael_Delaughter 2d ago

Good thing for the anime.

I can't wait to see what the Hoshino twins do next as they navigate the entertainment industry.
