So I finally started watching Oshi no Ko and it is indeed as amazingly good as everyone says, but I just can't decide how I feel about the famous Oshi no Ko eyes.

On the one hand, I totally understand what the mangaka was trying to do. Everyone's beautiful in manga, so the eyes serve as a visual signifier for which of these gorgeous 2d people has the spark or je n'sais quoi needed to make it in the industry. In Oshi no Ko, crazy eyes = actual talent/potential
I just can't decide. Does the device work, or is it too distracting for what is otherwise (aside from the whole reborn thing) a determinedly cynical and realistic story?
GREAT show, though! The story is twisty and the characters are all super well done. Can't believe I waited so long to watch it. I blame Disney for buying the rights and then and hiding it in the depths of Hulu. Also, the opening song is *chef's kiss*
