Frankly, I don't like you
and I never have.
From Aqua's perspective, Ai was actively giving birth when he died and Sarina died years ago so I can see him not making the connection.

Oshi No Ko answers the question of whether unborn children have souls with "no" since they slotted the doctor's in well after that body was gestating.

He did make the connection, but when he asked Ruby a question, she claimed to have been an adult when she died, so he pretty much went "Yeah, that'd be a stretch even for a situation this ridiculous", and didn't think of it again.

I feel like Ruby probably really didn't want to talk about her previous life much since it was kind of terrible and she seemed to hate it, and Aqua just sort of followed suit.

Strong agree.

I'm honestly kind of emotionally torn on Ruby's goals. On the one hand I don't think it's gonna end well based on what happened in the first episode and what I know about idol industry (which tbf is not a whole lot). But godammit, she's so passionate about it I can't help but root for her :(

It's admittedly a big-time cheat when you make the first episode of an ongoing series almost as long as a typical OVA or anime movie in general, and use that time to tell a mostly complete story, but yeah that's a drat fine first episode of an anime for sure. Ai's death had me tearing up nearly as much as the first time I read it, and I was a real mess then.

I'm sure I'd of enjoyed Rie in a role that's in the series longer, but man she hit it out of the park as Ai and really set the tone for the voice acting of the series right out the gate. I feel like there's a big time extra kick to things if you're a casual anime fan and just like "Oh cool Rie's in this she's great, looking forward to seeing more of her in this and OMG WTF!"

The star eyes are also a lot of fun to see animated.

Oh, and I'm convinced Akasaka's got enough cred for turning out fun and interesting stuff now that anything he's involved in now from now on will get an anime adaptation and most (hopefully all) of them will adapt the entire run of the manga. Seeing how well Oshi no Ko's anime adaptation turned out has also convinced me that we're gonna get to see all of Kaguya (plus or minus the occasional skipped chapter while covering the overall story, no big deal) animated eventually too, which will be very nice.

The interview I posted last page actually talked about this a bit, Rie was actually aiming to voice Akane-chan at first, but didn't pass the first round auditions for her.

She wanted to be Akane because she herself is an actor and related more to that than being an idol.

Yeah I saw that, I was just kind of not bringing it up to keep stuff that comes up later to a minimum. I guess just something like a character name really isn't a spoiler though.

"Yes. I can see that sword... Somewhere out there..."
You guys need to be nicer to Ruby's dad. He stepped right into Ai's role of underage emotionally stunted parent and he's doing his (very, very traumatized) best.

The ones after episode 1 seem to just randomly end at weird spots. It’s like it’s still running on a movie length format. But then it’s like oh it’s the end, got to cut it off now.

An uncountable number, to be sure.
I think they work fine as ending spots (episode 2 ends on a joke and 3 on a cliffhanger), the problem is that they also decided to show the episode title cards at the end. Which can theoretically work if the title of the episode is something dramatic and spoilery like "a tragic death" or whatever, but in this case the episode titles are banal and there's no benefit whatsoever to putting them between the cliffhanger and the ending credits. Frankly the one in episode 2 was even confusing because the issue it referred to was already resolved earlier in the episodes and the story was in the middle of moving on to something else.

A city that was to live by night after the wilderness had passed. A city that was to forge out of steel and blood-red neon its own peculiar wilderness.
They are ending like the manga chapters do

There is nothing Akasaka loves more than ending the chapter on some characters reaction or Aqua being mad and brimming with evil determination.
