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. If Bushiroad releases a new season of this, I'll be sure to enjoy it.Songs mentioned in the episode:D4DJ All Mix Opening - Maihime: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HmhZdlrJZNc&list=PLk80SyRxgyyslDX_4JJrOSgfhCpV-eSdlD4DJ All Mix Ending - Around and Around: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lKWnCcxoVog&list=PLk80SyRxgyyslDX_4JJrOSgfhCpV-eSdl&index=6D4DJ Double Mix Insert Song - FAKE OFF: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J7PU4ciGIq0More 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 we will be discussing D4DJ, a somewhat niche "idol" anime focused on Eletronic music and slice of life antics, in contrast to your average idol story.More 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

To finish reviewing all of Wake Up, Girls!, I will be talking about Wake Up, Girls! Shin Shou. Another example of why changing studios spells doom for most series, compounded with a general degradation of the animation and subpar 3DCG scenes.More 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 time I will be talking about the next entry of Wake Up, Girls!, Wake Up, Girls! Seishun no Kage. A really well done movie and generally, a concise follow up to the happenings of the first season but it ultimately fails in its narrative due to the short durationMore 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 starting a little detour into one of the forgotten Idol series from 2014, Wake Up, Girls! A series with promise but a whole host of problems.

This week I break the mold a bit and instead of Idols we focus on Rock. This week I'll discuss Girls Band Cry, the best 3DCG anime I've ever watched. A series so full of passion and production value put into it that it defies description. I hope there's more in production, I'll be there to watch it.More 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

Following last episode, this time I will be talking about the sequel of White Album, White Album 2, a story that pays homage to the original even including song and the context but ultimately fails in delivering the same quality of character development and thrilling narrative,More 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 discussing one lost gem from 2009, White Album. One of the best romance dramas I ever watched. With impeccable setting, really nice music and one of the most stacked voice cast in history for a single anime.

Following the last episode I will be discussing Love Live! Superstar Season 2. An ok development for the series that tries some different ideas and borrows good concepts from Nijigasaki. Though most fall flat as the plot points are unfinished in favor of the sequel setupSongs mentioned:Margarete's introduction - Butterfly Wing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zmTIs9o7WIIMargarete's Tokyo presentation - Edelstein: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XWT0OrJj80gLiella's Prelim song - Chance Day, Chance Way!: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DVk8tmQEHy4P.S.: Noticed while editing that I misspoke as the song for the 6th episode actually rocksVitamin SUMMER!: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B73C2hZ5RQMMore 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

For this episode I will be discussing Love Live! Superstar Season 1. The latest mainline entry in the franchise caring some of the series' most overused tropes but also bringing a nice revamp to art and writing.P.S.: After finishing the second season, I did my research and got the names and links for the songs I highlighted.Chisato joining the club insert song - Tokonatsu☆Sunshine: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dd9i50ppx7gSumire as a center song - Nonfiction!!: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4_06v7iS7bQSnow Hallation V2 - Starlight Prologue: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H8PhMQrfEVAFull anime/manga list: https://myanimelist.net/profile/The_Weeb_InitiatMore of The Weeb Initiative:Youtube: 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
