Thats all.Several viewers claimed that while the plot and concept of the anime seemed fine, it did not deserve the hype it was receiving online.

It wasn't particularly bad but it wasn't as good as people claimed either. Doesn't cross a 7.5/10 on a good day#OSHINOKO #oshinoko_anime51Watched oshi no ko, and it is kinda overrated imo.

A studio would only want to advertise a series this much if they knew it was set to be a success, giving them returns on their investments.Fans even pointed out how the ones that are calling the anime overrated and "carried by animation" are mostly Demon Slayer fans who feel threatened to see their anime competing for the top spot against an anime that was immediately hailed as the best anime of the Spring 2023 anime season.FurrySnafu@iiKryxstal@kanahitagi Let me guess, most people that criticized oshi no ko because “overrate” is most likely demon slayer fan be like “bro demon slayer S3 should’ve of been #1, oshi no ko kinda mid and overrated because of the animation”. Like bruh, the manga itself was already great lol.@kanahitagi Let me guess, most people that criticized oshi no ko because “overrate” is most likely demon slayer fan be like “bro demon slayer S3 should’ve of been #1, oshi no ko kinda mid and overrated because of the animation”. Like bruh, the manga itself was already great lol.Moreover, the fact that the Demon Slayer fans called Oshi No Ko "carried by animation" was ironic to them, given that Demon Slayer itself is most popularly known for the same thing.
