WHAT ARE THOOOOOSE?!?!
Aqua: I’m always two steps ahead
Oh snap, Akane can smell the bullshit behind Aqua’s sudden character change.
Crow: Caaaww!!
Me: yep, that’s Ai. She’s a crow now.
Oh no, motherfucker you have some nerve walking past your daughter to your dead gf’s grave like that. Why, if I were there at that cemetery, I’d throw both of my shoes at you before subjecting you to the almighty brown garsunckle maneuver!

Oshi No Ko Episode 20 Review - If Only It Were A Dream
The Stage Play arc finally closes its curtains, but there is still the mystery around Ai’s lover and Aqua’s father that still needs to be solved, even if it’s just an important clue. To be honest, I really liked the spotlight the finale of the arc gave to Aqua as he needed it. However, there are some gripes I have with the episode.
Aqua’s emotional acting was great in terms of how it was animated and the vocal performances by his voice actor Takeo Otsuka. I just didn’t like how the anime didn’t give an opportunity to have someone in the audience comment on his acting or even give someone a reaction. The only person who reacted was Kana who was surprised about his emotional acting, but also noticed how pained he look when doing it. Like, seriously, could you have at least given some budget to have Ruby, Miyako, or even Gotanda react to his acting? Even when the performance was done, no one really commented on Aqua’s whereabouts or even his acting. I know that Aqua’s acting is still below Kana and Akane’s but given all that effort to pull out that emotional acting, someone could have at least given him some compliments or thoughts.
The part where Aqua thinks about what could’ve been with Ai was super sad. If only Ai’s death was a nightmare and that when he woke up, she’s there all bubbly and chipper. If only that were the case, Aqua and Ruby wouldn’t have suffered so much. The shadow that plagues him isn’t Goro, but the manifestation of the Aqua that couldn’t do anything that day—a manifestation of his guilt and regrets. Though, I did feel like Aqua worded it in a way that it’s both Goro and little Aqua in a way… I did like how Aqua uses his thoughts about a “good ending” with Ai and projects them onto Akane during the play.
I was surprised by the twist of Himekawa being Aqua’s half-brother. Meaning they have the same father but different mothers… I have this odd feeling it’s going to be a lot more complicated it seems to be. Maybe they do have the same father, but not in the way Aqua expects it. This revelation is going to be super awkward later on, I bet. Imagine Aqua telling Ruby that they have a half-brother. Family reunions are going to be super awkward. Despite that, Himekawa and Aqua don’t look anything alike, but they have the same aura in a way. Maybe that’s genetic? Is their father stoic and keeps to himself?
I did like how the stage play concluded, however. Kana and Akane acknowledge each other’s talents, though begrudging on Kana’s part. Melt and Sakuya get along now. Melt, Yoriko and Abiko seem to be on good terms and most of all, Abiko and GOA are friendly to each other now. It’s nice seeing how a group effort can change so many things in a positive way. My only gripe is that the outro for the play doesn’t really need to be super long. It took forever with characters bowing and having cute moments like Aqua carrying Akane down the steps with Kana giving a disgusted look.
By the way, there won’t be an episode next week due to production issues. Instead, it’s going to be a recap that features an interview with Megumi Han (Kana) and Manaka Iwami (Akane) and the narration by Aqua (Takeo Otsuka). That means what happens after the reveal will be revealed in two weeks, on September 11. Until then, I’m going to keep chuckling over Kana getting drunk over ginger ale. What are your thoughts on this episode?

Oshi no Ko Season 2 Episode 11
Oh my GAWD, Miyano Mamoru's voice for this man is PERFECT! Which is unfair b/c he's an incredible voice actor with an insane range, so I can't really say he ever did poorly on a character, but the aura was just instant.
This ending hurts me so much because I knew it was too soon for things to be over, but at the same time, I kind of want it to be. Aqua likes to act - he deserves to be able to pursue whatever he wants without feeling like revenge is a necessity. I'm glad that Akane didn't say out loud the realization that Ai's murderer is still out there, but I know it's only a matter of time before Aqua gets forced back. But now that I've seen Aqua free, I wish he'd just remain that way T.T
