I decided I would read this as I'd caught up kaguya and saw it was getting an anime. And holy poo poo Aka is a loving madman in the best way. Also I really dig the art.

Having that scene with the black star eyes of murder gives it a very different tone.

That's intended, yeah. She's scanning every male anywhere close to the correct age and thinking "is the motherfucker I have to ice this one?"

I meant that as a compliment, to be clear. Having a goofy scene with the visuals simultaneously conveying "This is all to get in position for murderous revenge" makes for a very fun, if bleak, contrast.

I did not know there was a subplot in that about Marin plotting revenge on her mother's killer.

Must have not paid enough attention back when it was airing.

I'm kinda curious why Ruby is orbiting around this sadsack AD given his sub-dogshit position in the industry. Does she intend on literally making him into her long-term project to get an inside man in the mid-tiers of production?

Forming bonds, friendships and networking with people to around your same level is incredibly important in show business

It's the concept of networking across.

Rather than just hoping for a come up off of networking with some famous person who wasn't in the trenches with you and only a loose tie.

You form bonds and build real relationships where they call on you and you can call on them for favors. As everyone is on a equal level, and then they can pull you up or you can pull them up as you get higher in the industry. Raising all of you together.

Like being genuine friends and helping out a director will get you gigs for the rest of your life.

I'm curious to see how this will shake out. Because while we've seen Aqua come up with clever schemes to help someone in trouble that he sympathizes with, we've never really seen Ruby put in a similar position.

I meant more that it seems like a very long-term play and Ruby has kind of been laser focused ever since learning the truth, so I'm surprised that she's got the patience for slow-burn tactics

If anything, though, that makes her a scarier prospect

Just caught up with the entire series, but I feel like Aqua doesn't have it in him do that anymore, now that he's lost his drive (and the star in his eye). He's content coasting along at his current skill level, but I can't see him doing a big-brained play out of nowhere.

Just read the first post and jumped to the current page of the thread to get an idea of how the series is going. Did it do a bad? Or am I missing ironic post context since I haven't read the spoiler posts?

There's a Vtuber in Oshi No Ko, so that lead to jokes about forum drama. That's pretty much it for now. Series is going well. We're finally getting more Ruby after she was backgrounded for a long time.

I'm not sure what I'm more afraid of in this arc: Either Ruby's going to be blindsided by the lovely director's decisions and they'll have to deal with people assuming they're doing OnlyFans stuff on the side, or this is going all according to Ruby's plan and she's fine with her friend risking her career here, even if Ruby does have a plan to turn things around.
