That suicide prevention message after the ending credits hit different. What's even more sad, it was based on a true story of a celebrity Hana Kimura being harrassed to the point of suicide... BTW. Adorkable, oh you sweet innocent child. It's worse now than it ever was when it comes to internet bullying...

Hidive's episode description goes hard. "Remember what you said in righteous outrage online? There were consequences. You never saw them, but that didn't make them any less real, nor hold you any less accountable."

This episode was so real it was terrifying. A fact about this episode is that this is based on a true story. Before this part of the manga was written there was a young female entertainer committed suicide after getting canceled online after an altercation on reality tv. Her name was Hana Kimura, a female professional wrestle. Sadly, unlike Akane, she did not have someone like aqua to save her.

I'm so happy aqua saved her. This anime really shows how a small mistake from an entertainer can ruin their entire life and it's so crazy

This was actually based on Hana Kimura's suicide, a very similar and tragic case that happened months before the chapter was aired. Unfortunately there was no Aqua to save her. Some people were saying that some of the comments we see in this episode are actually taken word for word from the cyber bullying Hana received, which makes it even sadder

the fact that in your reaction you had that moment where you guys started laughing as she said "i can't believe people would actually say that, 'apologize by dying'" just goes to show how insanely fucked the internet is because that's just the truth, not only do you see that, you see it EVERYWHERE and it's depressing as hell

I feel the whole story is a public service announcement but honestly I feel like it will land on deaf ears and it's sad things like this keep happening 😔

Lee with the Pieyon drip I respect it.

Akane will always remain my favorite after Ai and i just never understood how people can talk bad about them and telling them to off themself it makes me sick to know people like that exist the sad thing about its based off i real story we stan and love Akane

It’s pretty scary how real this anime is and can get with its content. This episode was a masterpiece of showing you how disgusting internet can get.

W reaction and discussion as this episode brings light to how toxic the entertainment industry is. Aqua, Kana, and Miyako definitely protects Ruby from going down the same path as Ai or other idols.

The only reason why people hate her is that most people give up on their dreams. That's why they get pissed off when they see someone trying their best. It's pure jealousy and they were just projecting their insecurities on Akane

girl in the middle got it, Akane has shown that she keeps trying to adapt and failing, but someone like that isn't by nature a spontaneous person

Bless adorkable for her innocence, but the reality is the worlds a lot darker and people are aren't always as strong.

As a kpop fan I understand this very well. people write ridiculous and hurtful messages without thinking about the idols feelings. Some are so toxic and like its so crazy. I like this anime because it really realistic and it shows the live of a Idol.

Finally a real reaction channel finally uploaded this episode! Quality reaction as expected 👌

I'm loving the duck shirt dude. Really brightens up the set :)

As for "what Akane could've done better", I'd change the question and say "why is Akane's agency failing her so bad". What the hell was that president's problem, yelling at Akane's manager? Why are they putting her in a reality TV show, where she's clearly completely out of her element? I think the AGENCY has a RESPONSIBILITY to make the idol/actress succeed. She's obviously doing her best. Agency, do better.

In my opinion episode 1 and episode 6 are contenders for episode of the year, oshi no ko has peak storytelling, the only anime I see better is vinland saga, that's it😊

“This is so wholesome, I’m waiting for the switch tho” Not even 15 minutes later: “This is dark as FUCK WHATT”

Mr Lee wore than Piyeon drip lmao you were expecting a different kind of episode

When they're talking about the next member of the Idol group, In my mind Its a dead give away if you watch the Opening. I'm not a manga reader tho, but i think it is what it is.

What have we learned folks? No matter if it's fiction or real life twitter is the worst social media 😂

Aka put this in a month after Hana's death. A lot of the tweets you saw were the real thing Hana saw on her phone and computer. Aqua was there to save Akane because this is fiction and the hero comes just in the nick of time. Realty many suicides the cry for helps comes way too late and even worse the ones that show no signs that look happy one day and the next they are gone because they wore that mask so well. This gets you really thinking about life and how real life can really swallow you hole.

Went from last episode with a dancing bird man in speedo to this depression episode. Goes to show you again how this series can catch you off guard sometimes.

I feel bad for Akane, the public pressure, cyber bullying and being a vegan are way too rough

This episode remind me so much of a kpop singer named sulli( may she rest in peace) she was so much harassed online she end up take herself out and the horrible thing is some excuse of human celebrate her Death, Idol world may be all shine and sparkle but its a dark cruel World

R.I.P Hana Kimura As everyone already pointed it out, her story was the baseline of today's episode

The innocence of the girl in the middle thinking cyber bullying ain’t as bad now a days..many tweets shown in this episode are actually copied almost word for word from tweets sent to Hana Kimura whom the ep is based off of that committed suicide in 2020.

On a lighter note, Akane's stretching scene made me look forward to Lee's reaction

Akane's so concerned with learning what she's supposed to do that she ends up doing nothing at all. She's preparing for the moment instead of living in it.

Considering Aqua was a doctor, I’m not surprised that he’s able to recognize the signs of suicidal ideation

The Backpedaling on past Aqua comments at 25:50 killed me! XD

It's been said thousands of times by now on every reaction video, but knowing the real life events that inslired this part of the story will always hit different. Cuz this is one of those things right, where it's NOT a fanfiction, but it almost feels like one cuz the Mangaka was like "I'm gonna cover this real life story, and give this story a happier ending".

RIP Hana Kimura (1997-2020), whom Akane was based on. She was cyberbullied for slapping the hat off someone on Terrace House, a reality TV show, for accidentally ruining one of her expensive wrestling costumes in the laundry . The drama was staged by the producers.

Boy if words can kill … & after seeing this they can cut deep - Akane is voiced by Manaka Iwami who also voices Tohru (Fruits Basket - 2019), Efil (Black Summoner), Mahiru (The Angel Next Door Spoils Me), Efil (The Black Summoner), Lelia (Log Horizon), Himiko (The Ones Within), Chiaki (Gamers), Lykos (Children of the Whales), Chuntaro (Demon Slayer), Nerura (Akita Maid Wars), Amber (Genshin Impact), Rean (To Your Eternity), Carmilla (Re:Zero), Euphy (The Magical Revolution …), Erina (Re:Creators), Millie (SpyxFamily), Mirai (Dr.Stone), Platelet (Cells At Work), Lakhesh (WorldEnd), Saki (Sirius), Telestia (The Aristocrat's Otherworldly Adventure), Hirai (Mitsubishi Colors), Fear (Danmachi), Hijiri (Asobi Asobase), 11th Seat of the Black Scripture (Overlord), Monica (Seija Musou), Rice Shower (Uma Musume), Harumu (Yuna & the Haunted Hot Spings), & many more - Nobuyuki is voiced by Tomohiro Ono who also voices Makoto (Tomodachi Game), Ryuji (Talentless Nana), Ezaki (Sasaki & Miyano), & a few more - Kengo is voiced by Tiago Ban who also voices Amane (The Angel Next Door Spoils Me), Daniel (Trapped in a Dating Sim …), Megane (One Punch Man), & a few more

Of course had to comment on the feet at 9:49 and 21:03. 🤣

Akane takes notes behind the scenes. It's her first time doing reality TV, and she's busy taking notes instead of doing stuff on camera. That's not her fault cuz she's a fish outta water. The viewers are middle and high schoolers, and maybe a small percentage of early 20s people. So large majority of the viewers are NOT going to think about stuff behind the scenes. They just see what's on camera. Akane's NOT suited for reality TV cuz there's no script, so Akane HAS to be proactive and stand out but she's not like that. I think she's at her best when there is a script 9:40. Everything that happened past the slap/scratch whatever it was, was just crazy and out of control. Aqua gotta have her join B-komachi, at least she wont be alone looking at twitter in her room, she'll have emotional support from her age group. Yeah what adorkable said.

I feel like people need to remember that the audience of the show dont see everything they dont see her taking notes or being in her notepad 27:21 27:27

Honestly, this was a great reaction and good discussion as well. I love this trio👏❤

Even after all this, some people actually hate Akane as a character 💀 like why!?

2:20 Lmao the Bill Clinton approached. Thanks for giving me a chuckle man in such a heavy episode. Internet is a scary place, I wish everyone can take Dave Chappelle advice when he said, Twitter can't cancel me because Twitter isn't real. Now I just can't wait for next episode to see how Aqua can help Akane overcome this.

This episode was something else, what's insane is how real it is.

All the reactors forgot just what kind of show this *really* is.

Bro, those last 5 minutes had my heart jumping like crazy. I had the biggest pop off at the end when Aqua showed up

This episode was too real 💀

Yeah don't let adorkable near the comments lol. Seriously though love you guys.

oooo boy i hope that lady won't touch twitter. She is way too innocent for the cesspool that is internet

I was not ready for this episode in the slightest, good lord I was scared this entire episode cause i had a feeling what was gonna happen. Legit reminded me of your name which didn’t help calm my nerves

This anime really should be watched by all And this time it's actually for educating people

Ah that was an interesting observation at the end, that Akane in the Reality Show is a by-the-book actor with no script.

16:32-"Im waiting for it to turn tho"-Last words said before disaster

Don't forget that Aqua is a doctor in his past life

Damn lee you’re looking fresh today brother. Nice cut and nice shirt

she living under a giant Boulder if she thinks it's not as bad now

I hope now people who were thinking that Aqua was jeopardizing Ruby's career understand the actual gravity of y he tried to do so. Unfortunately unlike many other professions Entertainment industry is extremely built upon public response whether it be positive or negative. That's the whole point of entertainment industry. And y would Aqua let Ruby be involved with something like this? As someone whose family works in entertainment industry I can tell u the public don't know even a fraction of what goes behind the curtains. Anyone is free to dislike or like someone but unfortunately people rnt that simple. 😊

28:33 my same thought process

22:06 EY YO Publix fried chicken is SO GOOD THOUGH

Nice summer doo cut you got going there Rock.

This episode reminds me of how internet made light of Etika's situation. Especially keemstar and his fans.

It's for stuff like this, when it happens in real life, that i will never support cancel culture, no matter what anyone says to justify it. Maybe it's out of place to say this but i really wanted to get this of my chest.

27:16 Oh, she's known as the genius actor 😄, that's a huge reason why people talk these things (jealousy plays a big part in it). Her acting skills are not shown yet, but you'll be really surprised just in the next episode :) 29:45 Spot on that she's a great actor, but might not be adapted to the reality show at all.

Ngl, I felt like a tear is about to drop at the last scene. Really felt sad for her, and it even sadder how real it is. Just because she messed up there, everyone assumed that this is her real self, being violent, selfish and what not... They overlooked all other cases of her being hardworking, respectful, etc. They even attributed her hard word to her being full of her self! I bet you, if they didn't show anything about her life or background, you will find some comments here trashing her. Why some people enjoy looking at others from one dimension?😓

I hope KZfaq doesn’t let the demons come inside this video

Most of the tweets if not all of them in the anime was actually word for word, used against Hana Kimura. I remember somebody took pictures and compared them to the chapter when it first came out People can be viscous online.

As a casual KPop listener I hate the fact that this kind of tragedy happened a lot in this industry and still happening, even this year we already lost 2 kind soul. People need to learn to shut up their mouth, I'm not gonna lie I also not a saint and there some people that i don't really like but sending death threat is just too f*cking much

Akane should have taken notes from Dominic Mysterio on how to properly turn heel.

The comments shown in the episode were nearly direct copies of the comments that were aimed towards Hana Kimura who experienced the same level of cyber bullying before her suicide.

I've disagreed with show interpretations, but for the record I love this channel, I watch shows just to prepare for your reactions, and y'all rock! =)

Last words: This wholesome as hell...

Director keep your head up bro you got this!

After the first episode you just don't know what are they gonna do. I was so damn worried

Who would have thought that seinen will bring heavy subject 😅 On serious note if any of you readers know someone having trouble like akane please reach out to them and give them the support that they need. Spread love not hate

i feel very sad again for my girl Akane not only in manga also in anime in the show there's no specific role and it's new to her so she like searching for it.😔

1st rule of the internet: don't read the comments

The "just die" in red text and knowing the context of the episode. Made the thumbnail look hilarious to me.

As somebody that used to be in the minecraft youtuber side of twitter Oh trust me, it is still like that. Doxxing, death threats, all because you criticize somebody's fav It is genuinely that bad

It's based on a true story. Sadly, she didn't have anyone to help her. Set a limit on ourselves on how much we should care what people say. If we care too much, we won't be able to satisfy them all. If we don't care at all, we are irresponsible and heartless. We need to be able to think for ourselves at times.

this episode hit me hard ngl

Dark episode, Adorkable and Director both wearing dark colors, and then BOOM! 🐤🐥🐤🐥🐤🐥Love it! Btw, shirt is 🔥

I think out of any character I get why Ruby is such a brother lover lol, I’m all honesty they are traumabonded

こうなることは分かってたけど演出も相まって見るの結構辛かった、、、

Basically she isn't very good at improv and doesn't seem very outgoing which a reality TV show relies on quite heavily. Under normal circumstances, even if you are not outgoing but are an actor you can usually play it up and portray yourself as outgoing when you have a script to do so. But when there is no script and you have to improv, it's just not easy and can take a lot of practice. And it's a very different kind of practice as well. Maybe a good way to go about it would be to have a randomizer just pick a topic and a character type, and then you have to try and act out and come up with something entertaining on the spot in regards to both. A big part of it is being able to be quick with ideas and acting it out right away. Plus, I imagine practicing improv can also help you come up with things quickly without it being something that could get you canceled lol If you are not used to it, you could accidentally say something dumb and get in a lot of trouble.

This is not related to the episode, but I'm really excited to watch your guys' reaction to next week's episode. This is one of my favorites arcs in the manga because of how realistic it felt to me, which is to be expected knowing that it is based on a true story.

Yeah, this was a heavy episode. You hate to see someone’s name just dragged through the mud , especially if there might not be any truth to the rumors or even if what they did wasn’t as bad as some people make it out to be, but we have our own egos and some of us are always out searching for something to help feel superior to someone else. Even better if it’s someone you thought was doing better in life than you. Tragic.

i mean this whole arc was inspired by hana kimura suicide when she was getting cyberbullied after a scene on netflix tv series named the terrace house and i believe it was on 2020. so yeah cyberbullying in japan was still happened and as brutal as it is.

Online haters need to watch this

First off, that cut looking immaculate. It's like Mr. Lee added another zero at the end to his net worth instantly. Second, that suicide prevention directory at the end was the highlight. Edit: Just imagine how many Akane there are globally.

ofc the west has it's fair share of toxic hate comments, but east asian celebrities get insane hate, esp bc the parasocial relationships on these shows are also heightened viewers think they know a person, also cause the standards on acceptable behaviour is just 10x more strict. ntm a lot of these hate comments are left by antisocial chronically online ppl or children who have no boundaries. most well known celebrities are trained to handle it and not read but akane's also only a child and her management could care less, so it leads to situations like these, more so cause she's introverted and can't express herself well. to watchers she seems like a sweet girl but if she was a real person, most would call her cold cause you wouldn't see her talk much or see her diligence. this is also another huge reason why children shouldn't be put in the spotlight like this lol but japan is weird as hell

People actually do say things like that. Since the story was based on a true story many of the messages shown on screen were taken from that case where somebody went on TV and was driven to suicide by people attacking her over an on screen segment where she argued with a popular person on a reality TV show.

Yaboyrocklee🐐

My opinion on the question you asked Lee about what her issue may have been. I think she was simply doing the wrong type of show. She isn't spontaneous, so being in a reality show where it's all about that back and forth between people at a moments notice with no lines and such, I think, was the issue. I have no doubt that if she was in a normal movie like role where she had lines and was told to act a certain way, she would be fine. Edit: I paused and wrote this comment before I got to the part where adorkable basically said everything I was saying... so yeah what she said 😅

Akane needs Ruby and Arima as friends. Their personalities will help balance her own. And they will help build her up. She could learn alot from both of them. The only snag I see happening, is a bit of a love triangle with her and Arima both havin feelings for Aqua.

@ 17:57 Adorkable : "I can't believe people would actually write that" .. All THREE of us looked at her the same way 🤣🤣🤣. I've already written about how I stay away from social sites, forums, etc as much as I can and this episode shows exactly why. Hide humans behind a screen and they will show what absolute bottom feeding trash they can be.

I’m surprised that the comment about bullying isn’t bad in America. HOW MANY SCHOOL SHOOTINGS happen in America and a lot of that is down to the fact someone gets bullied that bad that they lash out. You don’t hear about that in Japan.

When I was reading the manga , seeing the comments they made about her seriously made my blood boil

Akane best girl 😭❤️‍🩹 she deserves happiness not such stupid internet hates

After This Eps Everything Will More Complicated

This goes back to rock lee and Sasuke, does being a genius beats hard work
