Every LIKE gives me a tissue to help with my nonstop crying.

Alicia registering Precocious Baby as Precious Baby is so on brand it's hilarious 😂

There's something someone posted that made me cry even more. So uh...don't read ahead unless you want to be sad. 1. Something you picked up on, when Ai's life is flashing before her eyes, we don't see anything from before the birth of Aqua and Ruby. Ai's life started with them. 2. Ruby and Aqua were watching their mom's funeral from inside a car to avoid controversy. 3. The president had two glasses at the bar, because he was going to share a drink with Ai when she turned 20. Still had a glass ready for her while grieving. 4. Even though she was bleeding out, and likely in immense pain, she threw herself against the door so Ruby wouldn't see what happened, and spoke calmly the entire time.

Oh dear. Poor Alicia. Aka Akasaka, the writer of this story, also wrote Kaguya-sama. Because one baller series wasn't enough for him apparently.

this reaction was so heart wrenching, especially hearing how Alicia related to this episode so much. I felt like I was gonna cry, till the tears actually spilled out. Stay strong Alicia we're here for you

“Are they gonna romanticize it?” Well, we know for a fact you weren’t spoiled. 😂

Aqua: Tries his best to be respectful. Gets called creepy. Ruby: Does all the creepy stuff, we just laugh. We live in a society.... lol

This was rough. Also, hearing about the nonstop ordeal you had to endure when you were a commenter makes me even more sad. Without getting too deep into the parasocial aspects of everything, I do hope that at this moment, despite the cancer and everything, you are in a better place. You deserve it. Thank you for what you do, Alicia.

I’m so sorry to hear about your IRL backstory before you became a vtuber. I am heartbroken that you had to endure that kind of abuse, only to later have to battle cancer in order to reach your goal of having kids. Honestly, you’re one of the most real and genuine reactors I’ve watched on this platform. I’m glad I discovered your channel a while back when you started JoJo’s. The least I can do is officially subscribe after hearing all of that personal baggage you shared with us. Keep up the great work and keep kicking cancer’s ass!

It's honestly crazy how I've seen so many reaction videos and I STILL cry at the end of this episode 😭

1:23:53 I'd like to point out, he says right before this "It's her abdominal aorta? Shit!", a place where if you are punctured you have a 30-40% chance of surviving, with IMMEDIATE, PROFESSIONAL care, the odds of her surviving are basically zero In addition, Aqua only has the memories of Gotou, he isn't **truly** Gotou

1:30:00 I'm so sorry you had to go through all that, with the comments and especially the traumatising experience that came afterwards. I'm glad you feel you're in a safer, happier place now. Thank you for reacting to this series. I imagine there will be more than a few episodes that may hit close to home for you. Sending hugs!

This anime was tailor made for Alicia I'm sure her reaction will break me the same way the anime did Update: it did 🥲

"Old guys for some reason tend to enjoy it when young people have a casual attitude with them" So its basically like having a heart to heart with a Russian They tend to like philosophical casual talks

2 minutes and a half and I already know Alicia is the perfect audience for this show. When you know about how a lot of the stuff is beforehand, I feel it hits even harder 😭😭😭

I finally got my best friend reacts to the first episode of Oshi no Ko, he is a professional nurse for a decade now but he isn't the type to watch Anime with a slice of life content rather something more of a mainstream audience type of Anime fan. But he gave the episode 1 a try. He said during the part where Aqua looks at his mother (Ai) in shock while the camera pans over the face of her with the eyes went totally black is the most realistic death scene he has seen in an Anime ever illustrated by an Artist. He and his wife (both nurses) seen a lot of deaths in their entire career (especially as their lives fade away) so him giving his feedback on that scene was really educational. NGL though his shocked reaction locked his face on the screen, on that infamous scene in Episode 1 was when I saw him with tears on his eyes. Him and his little brother lost their mother on a young age, he went to depression and it didn't help that their relationship with their father was not pretty well either. But I'm glad he found his better half and has been living a stable life now. Still we miss his mother a lot - their house remained so quiet for decades since she's been gone.

This anime is gonna hit Alicia in so many feels. It already did in this episode alone.

1:31:16 god I want to give you a hug right now. You definitely didn’t deserve that crap.

The unfiltered look at the entertainment industry and the parasocial relationships is so well done. The art and music so perfectly matches the story and you can tell that the people who made it really cared about doing it right. Props to Yaosobi for the amazing op and Queen Bee for the fantastic ending!

to be fair he didn't choose to be her child so he just has to do the best he can by keeping boundries in place. I can't really call him creepy since he does everything he can to not be a creep it just comes off worse because he's aware of how he seems. he's doing his best jst like Ai.

YESSSS ALICIA’S REACTION TO OSHI NO KO I WAS WAITING FOR IT 🥹❤️ I love your reactions they’re so genuine and so fun and so relatable I am so excited!!

Oshi No Ko is an interesting name since it has a double meaning; it can mean "the girl (as in idol) I support (as in simp)" but it can also mean "the child of" put the two together and you get "the child of the idol I support"

This show is literally for you!! 😭

The "Aishteru" scene is so incredibly powerful when you know a bit more about the japanese language and culture. It's such a ridiculously powerful scene.

Was already crying, and then your story about commentating when Ruby was breaking down. I'm glad you feel like you're safer as a vtuber. It's frustrating thinking about how comfortable those horrid men were with saying that shit to your face. God.

1:20:00 To be fair, Japanese people extremely rarely say "aishiteru" or "I love you" _even_ to their children. "Ai", "love", is a very heavy word. It's expressed moreso through action than words, but also, they mostly phrase it as "daisuki"-literally "big like". It still translates to "I love you", just in a more casual way.

Wow I didnt know anything about your previous line of work Alicia. I'm a new sub thanks to your Gundam Witch from Mercury reactions and I've been loving your personality. I'm glad that you're here now enjoying making content and watching anime with us.

Just incase it wasn't brought up in the comments yet I'd like to point out that in Japan and several other countries the legal age of consent is 16. Japan has been working on raising it to 18 but unless I've missed it they haven't yet. However several prefectures have raised it to 18. so as far a national law in Japan goes 16 is legal. But some of the prefectural governments have raised it to 18 or at least encourage waiting till then. So by legal standards the doctor wasn't actually a creeper and given that it's been normal over there for God knows how long it's unfair to judge him for it. Hell if I recall correctly it was legal for 13 year Olds to be in relationships with both parties parents permission though I'm pretty sure that's no longer the case. Point is even if he was actually interested in Ai in a sexual way by national law he's in the clear as long as it's consensual. But he honestly didn't seem to be interested in her in that way.

The case from your life, you mentioned in the end is really horrific. I can't even imagine, how you felt, but I believe you will be able to drop it in the past. Nobody deserve such experience.

Fun fact, aqua's VA also voiced a very very similar character from a recent anime. Both reincarnated, blond, handsome, are smart and have asymmetrical eyes

Listening to your story near the end really hurt my heart. i can't fathom how so many people can do such evil shit to someone for no reason. The stuff u have gone through and are going through is insane. Always remember that u are far stronger then those who hurt you. Love ur videos keep doing what you do

1:31:00 good LORD that is a *terrifying* story. What a complete failure of the community that we haven't yet rooted that kind of behavior out. Thank you for having the courage to share your experiences.

I knew the moment I saw this that Alicia would cry rivers, because it's such an emotional story.

Just came from the depression impact trailer reactions. Welcome to Depression no ko team Edit: also hearing your experience from combobreaker was sickening as a human being, i really hope you can feel safer in the future 🙏🙏🙏

Saying the name of your children wrong is very common, my mother just calls me, my brother and my father's name until one of us show up.

Fun fact : the author of oshi no ko also did kaguya. He's good at hitting you when you don't expect it. You can expect the same kind of things if you ever continue kaguya 👀

1:29:00 This line goes so fucking hard I swear, so many psychos out there that treat entertainers like they're not human it is insane. Also I just gotta say holy shit im so sorry to hear about your bad experiences as a commentator, i dont know what to say honestly i felt sick to my stomach hearing about some of the shit you went through. Some people are just fucking monsters man :(

Called it, knew if Alicia watched this she'd suffer the same emotional breakdown most of us prior watchers did XO

The irony of Ai calling Miyako Mama also is that she is adopted/guardian by Ichigo so she is technically Ai's adoptive mother and the twins' grandmother lol

one thing this show does well (other than shred your happiness to pieces) is the faces, especially the eyes. i ADORE how unique and flashy the eyes are, and how they're used to symbolize different things as the story progresses

A true rollercoaster of a prologue.

Alicia: "She's so cute" MC: "She's so cute" Alicia: "Bro, relax."

Oh god this is gonna be both great and tragic at the same time. I can't wait 😭

This show is awesome !!! I saw a clip of this show on TikTok & didn’t know where to watch then I found you 😊 so glad to be here I love your commentary!

Looks at feed see the thumbnail "Oh no"

I've known about about your cancer for a while and that you wanted kids. But you talking about it in this video made me start sobbing. I can't even imagine how you feel. I'm so happy you have such loving people around you and I hope they help so much 😭 And now I'm crying at the end. I'm so sorry those things happened to you 😔

I hope you beat cancer, I hope all those asshats and racists that made you anxious and fearful get what they deserve, and I hope you can get kids and live a long and happy life. 😭❤️

Man, hearing you talk about what you've been thru that's rough sending good vibes

I love that the literal children are involved with running stuff lmaaaaaao

man i been waitin and hopin for your reaction to oshi no ko to come to youtube and here it finally it is, this is gonna be such a great watch

You are absolutely right, the character next to 100.3 means ten thousand, so 100 ten thousands is the same as a million. Very different from how we think of it.

In the manga, the narration says that the police had to cover Ruby's eyes as they moved her outside their house, and also that Aqua did not move for the entire time it took for them to arrive. This means he felt her body going cold. I watched this show completely blind, and the end of this episode (more like movie, if I'm honest lmao) hit me as hard as episode 3 of madoka magica. I did NOT expect something like that.

Finally got to watching the reaction because I definitely didn’t want to miss it. Oshi No Ko is becoming one of my favorite anime/manga series now and you are one of my favorite reactors on this platform. I knew I was gonna cry again rewatching this through your reaction and your crying made it worse (in the best way). Not only that, your story that you related the anime to just kept the tears rolling. I’m so sorry you went through that. No one deserves that and it should not be seen as normal. Please know that you are loved and deserve every once of it. 💙

Bruh Alicia's reaction too adorable Cute parts: Babies! 😭😭 Sad parts: BABIIIES! 😭😭 wholesome parts: *BAAABIIIIIIIIEES!* 😭😭

I'm in the same boat... I too got cancer and this anime just hit SO HARD... it's a really good anime but man, the 1st chapter BROKE me and I had to stop a few days to recover.

Past Alicia: "I hope Sarina becomes an idol" Future Alicia: 😊

I feel bad from hearing what you had to go through. I hope that you're in a better life now, even if you're still fighting against cancer. My mother also had cancer before, so I can mildly understand the struggle and worries. Stay safe! Love your reactions!

1:21:29 man, we need josuke back

This anime makes me question why do some people even exist just to hate people that has something they dont

Thanks for a great reaction Alicia, im sorry to hear about all the pain you've gone through and how much you are able to relate to the content of Oshi no ko as a result... I do really hope you're able to find more security and happiness in life and am thankful for your content and perspective

In case you didn't know, the author of this show's manga is also the author of Kaguya-sama Love is War.

Hell yeah! Your take from the entertainment industry on this show is going to be SO DOPE!

I'm new to your channel so hearing your news about cancer is just so sad, I hope the best for you ❤🙏🏻

fun fact: Sarina had an Astrocytoma, a form of brain cancer that develops for STAR shaped cells

I'm sorry to hear what you went through. I'm glad you found a venue that you can still do what you want to do to feel safe. I don't know anything about your real life. I stumbled upon you because of this show. Thank you for sharing about some of the struggles you went through. I hope you find success in your new career

The full song at the end is a banger, you should definitely react to it in full. The lyrics are so good too

ahh yes, the feature film first episode of pain

I don't know who you are but I learned so much about you and cried so much with you I just had to follow. Please keep it up I love your content, you seem like such a sweet person

I'm so sorry to hear about what happened to you in your past. It's that kind of horrific stuff that makes me a bit afraid to be a black content creator online. At the same time, I see where you are today and it gives me hope. Wishing you the best in the future. I hope you keep making the content you love.❤

This is my first time on your channel, I’ve never watched Vtubers, but im so sorry to hear your story as someone with a similar problem (I want kids, but am missing one ovary). Im glad I found you and will be watching your content to support your journey, im sure medical treatment isn’t cheap. Keep it up, I belleive you’ll beat this shitty cancer ❤

Aqua VA is also Rudeus btw which really funny

Woooooh yeah babyy that’s what I’ve been waiting for that’s what it’s all about

I still get a pit on my stomach watching this episode, but I can’t imagine how much harder this would hit you…also I’m sorry you has to go through so much shit, Jesus

Yo, just taking a second to say I’m sorry you went through all that toxic racist “Star” culture shit. You don’t deserve that. No one deserves that. I genuinely hope you’re doing better now but I can imagine the scars will last a lifetime. Be safe, be well.

Time to relive the pain! Been waiting eagerly for this to drop on yt. This is gonna be one hell of a ride!!

Oh hell yeah, finally the Alicia reaction.

This is the first video I've stumbled on for your channel, and Alicia I hope you win your fight. Thank you for being open and vulnerable about your struggles.

Oshi no Ko FINALLY!! When I saw Oshi no Ko pop-up on the bottom of the screen in previous reactions for the first time I audibly went "OHHH NOOOO 'OSHI NO KO!?!?' " considering it's Alicia Now if only my School Website would work so I can submit my stuff first so I can watch this

Alicia, I've been a fan of yours for a bit now, but this is the first I've heard of all these scumbags treating you in that way. You say the word, and we of the internet will see to it that these people are... taken care of, there are some things one should not tolerate in life. I love seeing all your reactions since you are so heartfelt and genuine, and I sincerely hope one day that your children will see all the joy you have given to those of us on the internet. Love you in a totally platonic and not at all weird or parasocial way

I super suggest you react to the full opening with lyrics with the original video. The song is amazing and the video and lyrics both are like perfect for the show. It perfectly captures the first episode and the feelings and meanings it tries to portray.

Alicia: "I will protect her with every fibre of my being!" 😥

It’s sad what happened to her I hope she never get that experience ever again irl

Although he was a doctor in his past life, a severed abdominal aorta is almost always lights out even with immediate medical intervention. There are slim chances that the surrounding tissue contains the bleeding but considering that she was lying in a pool of her blood that is just not given here. Even with immediate stabilization by EMTs, her chances of survival were far too low.

Random baby fact: The walkers they're in at 39:12 are actually banned in Canada, not just to manufacture but even to import. Harnesses like that have been found to have a significant negative impact on muscle development and delays in locomotion due to the fact that the baby isn't actually engaging their full body to move. Furthermore, there's greater incidence of them hurting themselves due to the walker giving them greater mobility than they're ready for. Think of how much trouble a baby just learning to walk and crawl can get into, now imagine a significantly younger baby being gifted that kind of mobility.

This might be the only time I've watched something twice & cried both times.

You went from episode 18 of Witch From Mercury right to this? Hooo boy, you must hate your tear ducts!

Man ive become a sadist i literally checked my phone then see this on notifs and just smiled anyway we need a feel good anime cuz alicia keeps crying

"I will protect her with every fiber of my being" That's when we all knew how this would go.

The one thing this episode left out from the first volume was a series of Flash-Forward interviews at the beginning of each chapter. For instance, we see that one preschool teacher being asked what she remembered about the twins, and remarking that both were intelligent and stuff. However, there's one for _Aqua,_ where he says some rather interesting things that are very relevant for his characterization. He says, and I quote: "I won't love anyone, and even if someone loves me, I won't be able to reciprocate. You're free to love me if you're okay with that. I don't care what you think of me. For me, acting is my form of revenge." Now this, given what you've seen from the first season, is, in actuality, a lie. One told both to others and to himself. Because remember, his path is one of self-destructive revenge, yet he acts in ways that are potentially detrimental to his revenge. For instance, that whole thing he did with the video on LoveNow very well could have led to Kaburagi Masaya going back on the deal. Aqua, like Ai, overflows with love for those around him, while believing that to not _actually_ be the case. He believes his lie, because it means that when he _inevitably_ self-destructs, people won't be hurt when it happens, and if they are hurt, then it's just their fault for caring about someone who doesn't care for them.

YAYY didnt expect u to post onk reactions on yt but omgg i love itt its literaly in my top 5 animangas hope u enjoy watching the rest of it! i honestly cried twice watching ur reaction despite having read the manga and watched the anime😭

Damn, I never knew about the previous part of your carrier and the messed up things happening to you. Oshi No Ko really must hit close to home. I just hope you really are feeling in a better place right now. I always love your reactions, so you are doing great in my book.

why do i feel like the series finally is gonna be aqua finds out who his dad is tracks him down and then hes just gonna step out of the darkness with a knife "hello father...."

Hearing how hard you're fighting against cancer made me tear up. I hope for nothing but the best for you going forward.

I didn't even think of asking you to watch this but I am so glad that you did!

4:46 same happened to me wen I read the manga of jojo part 7 Johnny have my problem

Jesus, I had no idea how horrible it was for you. Your experience made me rethink how I should interact with celebrities I adore if I ever had the chance to. If anything, I really respect you for being real tough and keeping up the fight despite the awful stuff you've gone and are going through. I'll keep supporting (well I can't Patreon because I am broke beyond compare but who cares) and will surely be there to hear your triumph.

1:33 aww you poor thing, I felt that have a hug 🤗 hope you are feeling better and never have to deal with that again sounds awful, stay safe.

So sorry for what you've been through, nobody should have to face any of that. Also this show does give so many reality checks that have made me too remember and rethink about some messed up things that have happened to me in the past. I hope all the best to you!

I am so sorry you went through all of that when you did Esports commentary I've told all my friends about you cause I enjoy your content and I hope they watch you as well Also hope you pull through we are all praying for your recovery. God Bless and stay strong🙏

I actually beat cancer this January! I hope you get better and overcome it! ❤
