A promising start, a successful anime adaptation and a really controversial ending. This week we will talk about Oshi no Ko. The darling series of the last two years that recently finished serialization with one of the endings of all time. I have a strong feeling my opinion does not conform to the general discourse around the ending and as such I would like to talk about it.Songs mentioned in the episode:Oshi no Ko Season 1 Opening - Idol: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZRtdQ81jPUQOshi no Ko Season 1 Ending - Mephisto: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yo83M-KOc7kMore of The Weeb Initiative:Full anime/manga list: https://myanimelist.net/profile/The_Weeb_InitiatYoutube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCPR1yBkKjeWfCnvX1s_ZycADiscord: https://discord.gg/rSSc87AeJcSpotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/7KUuUmEkReF4IYyuFrpbO2?si=a36005c6cb524f34Comments, collabs and Concerns: [email protected]: https://twitter.com/InitiativeWeebTwitch: https://www.twitch.tv/theweebinitiative

This week I will be talking about the second season of D4DJ, D4DJ All Mix. A strict improvement from the first season with better animation, more units, more songs and overall a really cute and wholesome style.
