The Oshi no Ko anime series is set to premiere on Wednesday, April 12, 2023, at 11 pm JST. The series is one of the most highly-anticipated ones of the Spring 2023 season and was an excellent pickup by HIDIVE. After just the first episode’s premiere earlier on Wednesday, fans have been obsessively praising and discussing the series.Unfortunately, Oshi no Ko’s acquisition by HIDIVE means the incredibly large Crunchyroll subscriber base is left without legal access to the series. Nevertheless, those who desperately want to watch the series can at least subscribe to HIDIVE and watch it there, legally supporting the adaptation in the process.Likewise, these streaming details and more are fully ironed out and are unlikely to change during the course of this season. However, this isn’t necessarily the case for future seasons of Oshi no Ko.Oshi no Ko anime series is accessible internationally, but not via CrunchyrollAnimeTV チェーン@animetv_jp【OSHI NO KO】is now streaming on HIDIVE!The episode 1 will be 90min long!More: ichigoproduction.com3516393【OSHI NO KO】is now streaming on HIDIVE!The episode 1 will be 90min long!✨More: ichigoproduction.com https://t.co/nTDmsfB4RgAs mentioned above, the Oshi no Ko anime series premiered on Wednesday, April 12, 2023, at 11 pm JST. The series aired on several local Japanese broadcast stations, including Tokyo MX, Chiba TV, Gunma TV, Sun TV, KBS Kyoto, BS11, Shizuoka Broadcasting System, TV Aichi, TVK, Saitama TV, and others.Internationally, fans can stream Oshi No Ko exclusively via HIDIVE, which is undoubtedly a massive blow to the morale of Crunchyroll subscribers. While HIDIVE subscriptions, like Crunchyroll’s, are relatively affordable, fans may not want to pay for a new subscription for just one series. Unfortunately, this is the only way international viewers can legally watch the series and support the official release.Matterzero@Matterzero_i wonder why crunchyroll couldnt get it? the streaming rights i thought they would since this and hells paradise are probably the most anticapted animes of the spring season but i realized oshi no ko is not as known in the west as hells paradise for sure the anime will make waves twitter.com/animetv_jp/sta…AnimeTV チェーン@animetv_jpGET READY for OSHI NO KO Anime!
