Hello, friends. Sorry for the lack of communication recently.
I want to keep this very short and to the point, since my intention is not to moralize at anyone or to get anyone to drop the series itself. Put very briefly, I will not be covering Oshi no Ko going forward in any capacity on this site, with the possible exception of it appearing on my year-end list, if indeed I make one this year.
I don’t really want to get into the details, but if you’ve been following the series, and particularly the fandom’s activity for the past few weeks, you can probably imagine why. Suffice to say, it’s not the fault of anyone reading this. I just don’t really want to be associated with certain kinds of anime fandom, and to me personally, the association has become unavoidable. If I continue watching the series I will do so in relative silence.
I don’t currently plan to replace OnK’s slot with anything else for this season. I’ll see you when I announce the polls for the 2023 Summer Let’s Watch.
Sorry it had to end like this! I’m not happy about it either.
Completely understandable. This really soured me on the show too even though it’s just tangentially releated.

What’s happening with the fandom? I don’t really pay attention to that stuff.

Yeah, sometimes a fandom can become a bit toxic, and you just have to take a step back until the anime series becomes less of a hot topic. I remember when the first season of Rising of the Shield Hero came out. I loved the anime, but the fandom was . . . Yikes!
