*Fun Fact:* *This is made by the same creator of Kaguya-sama: Love is War and it's also in the same universe too. The fact that he can tell a really good romcom story to THIS is AMAZING!*
*SPOILER ALERT:* *IIRC, in one of the chapters, Ruby told her brother that she met a really good photographer when she's doing photoshoots and her name is Kaguya Shirogane and then they showed a picture of her in her photoshoot album.*
@@VillenthessisYT oh thank you! I still got a question tho, will ai hashino be still appearing in any kind s of form in the chapter? Since tbh i think its a waste of char design whrn she only appeared in 1 Episode!
idk about everyone else, but the way her death was drawn in such a creepy way was so satisfying for me. i loved how the studio didn't stray from the manga's depiction of her death, but actually amplified the actual brutality with the color, creating a chilling contrast in the lifeless yet colored eyes. it overall portrayed how significant of an impact her death left to both her kids, and overall how the death of an idol is not something to be taken lightly, since they're real and struggling human beings like us. expectations are UP
EXACTLY! This comment. This was the same way I felt when I first seen it, she died so make it look that way, alot of deaths in anime and even in live action shows are honestly too "beautiful" they dont really capture that morbid reality that is a dead body, but this scene was so captivating.
SPOILER And it will be really usefull after in the flashback, seeing that this was made on purpose to show us how mentally broken Aqua's mind was when he tried to remember good memories, but this image comes to mind, if it were me, I would probably puke the instant I remembered that image, It makes me really bad just by thinking about it.
The image in the thumbnail and in that frame with her lifeless eyes and distorted outline is fucking traumatizing. Went searching for a clip just to make sure I wasn't alone in that reaction.
I loved her death and I love the creepy way to it also how realistic it is like if someone were to be stab like those 2 minutes of blood every were and stuff would be real in life
Damn, so she remembers a fan that has such a creepy aura at his private life and even decides while being stabbed, to treat him still like a human being, that deserves love like anyone else. That’s just to heartbreaking, i‘m at the verge to cry again, she is easily the best mom for me this year 😢
No, this fan wasn't particularly creepy, and that's what's scary. Seemengly normal people will do horrible acts if they fail to keep their violent impulses in check or/and if they lack a good moral compass to begin with. This show DOES show examples of downright creepy individuals, namely Hikaru and the woman whose name I forgot that groomed and "raped" him (had consent, but he was a 11 yo pre-teenage). In Hikaru's case, not only is he creepy, but also evil. Oh, and he's part of the reason why Aqua and Ruby are so handsome and naturally charismatic, too, as their biological father. Thus, this is also an instance of the "looks can be deceiving" trope.
@@TRak598 i get that from the position of the stalker fan, he couldn’t commit such a brutal act without gathering more intel, but, Aqua just stated that all traces lead to his father and you just dropped a BIG A** Spoiler my guy
Seeing the imagery of Ai's corpse like that, that was haunting and sent chills down my spine. They elevated that iconic panel from the manga to a whole new level! And Ai's VA was just amazing. Really put her heart out voicing Ai in that painful tone.
You could finally say it Ai, that your love for your twins was sincere and completely real... you said it and that's what really matters, now you can rest in peace... Hoshino Ai.
A mother’s love to her child is priceless and people simply make those child suffer by just taking their most beloved person away from them. This anime actually applies to real situations of the world.
Children? Dude they are reincarnations Aqua is the doctor whom body was never found And Ruby is Serana ... They arent impacted that way Aqua promised to Serana whom died of a terminal ilness he would be a hardcore fan in her place for Ai And Serana wants to be like ... Ai ... They dont love her thay way as her children
Welp goodbye rie takahashi, really feels like a waste to kill such a well designed character, although the story in the manga would not exist if they didn’t made this plot twist. I just really can’t help but feel sorry for Ai and feels like she deserve justice afterwards
The better a character is written, the more impactful their death. That feeling of lost opportunity is one of the biggest parts of what made her death so impactful for me. I don't cry and just thinking about her death makes me tear up a bit and makes me feel hollow and empty.
@@tigershark2328 I cry still and in shock and felt desensitized with deep and meaningful anime deaths yet…I appreciate ipa bothe the anime and manga show in its short screen time (Like Rengoku) is just…Beauitfully tragic to ask the other character to move forward…the voice acting is top notch and how the dialogue is just mwah
The way she said "I love you" and cried afterwards knowing that she was finally being sincere broke me. I was trying so hard not to cry and was clutching my fists so hard.
In the manga instead of blinking out instantly, you could actually observe how the star gradually faded out over the course of her final conversation with Aqua and Ruby.
@@k.cthedogofficialtheog SPOILER For example when Ruby finds Gorou's (the doctor who is now Aqua) body, rotten and being literally an skeleton. Ruby's eyes in that chapter were even scarier than Aqua's
I cried like a bitch baby for her death. I went into the anime thinking it’s gonna be a slice of life about a idol with her children. I didn’t expect to be hit in the feels this hard, I’m so heartbroken
Exactly!! I just randomly clicked on the anime to watch while i ate my dinner but boy i was not ready for the twists 😢😢😢😢 even after the life in her eyes faded, i was still hoping she would somehow survive...
Same here. I tend to avoid deaths in anime fearing this stomach churning feeling but how I could I have known that this anime was going to do it. I knew that the doctor was going to be reincarnated though
Bro what about the animals, the the insects and bacteria will finally get something to eat and then her body will give nutrients to plants and then the animals eat te plants and then we eat the animals not all that bad
This scene really well written Ruby who got as much physical affection from her mother Ai is now behind a closed door and couldn’t physically embrace her. While Aquamarine who tried to get as little as much physical affection from his mother Ai is now the one holding his Mom in her last moments. Aka Akasaka is basically our modern version of Shakespeare of manga and anime.
When i first saw this scene in the Manga, good god the impact it leaves me and the seething rage of knowing that it was her fans who became a fanatics did this to her Now seeing it getting animated, the void in my heart and memories of this scene grews larger than it should've been
I never cried in this scene. It made me felt so empty, depressed and traumatized seeing her character development as a loving mother and idol just being taken away at the age of 20, it really hits me. Similar thing happened to me when i saw my uncle died right in front of me, i couldn't cry but instead felt empty, depressed and traumatized for life.
This part literally shattered my expectations that this was gonna be a "life of an idol with two kids" anime. Man I was so wrong, this turned out to be deeper than I expected and I'm all for it.
Watching the anime blindly was an experience. Something that really stood out was how the camera always focused on her stary eyes. But when we watch her life slowly drain from her you can really see all the emotion that drains from her eyes, and I shed a tear when we watched the star disappear in a blink (sadly wasn’t shown in the video). Her lifeless body with blank dull void-ful eyes really have a big impact on the scene and for the anime itself. All in all, I think the first episode of the anime is more a movie than just a show.
This scene destroyed me 😭, I there were several moments where I almost cried. This first episode was loaded with various emotions, I started to see it out of curiosity and the truth was that I was hooked
Bro this anime is really amazing ! I watched first episode and that emotions were.. breath taking.. i am really sad about her death but i hope whe will be reborn again
This anime I can without a doubt say that I’ve had to step away from watching after the first episode cause it was so good but so sad. I just wish they’d of had her live just a little longer. Ai was for sure not just waifu material but also a turning plot in this. I still feel the emotion when I watch this even the latest episode tugged at my heart so much.
I'll forever treasure the first episode in my heart forever and keep Ai (the best mom and idol) etched in my heart. Her death is utterly heartbroken and dark. We can all agree that Ai looks creepy and beautiful...when shes... I didn't read the manga so its really depressing that she's taken away soo soon in the anime. I'm sure she'll appear as a flashback.
I just hope that they get revenge on the killer. The anime got me hooked in the first half with how beautiful it is and this made me cry for an hour. Such beautiful eyes gone.
More Spoilers: The Killer only knew about Ai's whereabouts because of the father of Aqua and Ruby..... Let's just say, he's not exactly the best sort of person.
she, for the first and last time, said "i love you" and truly meant it. for her, that was like finding the meaning of life and she was able to die in peace. if that isnt enough to destroy your heart and emotions, i dont know what is
@@DHydra_ it was more than enough, and really caught me by surprise like no other anime death in the recent years, but what got me the most was AI‘s voice acting right after she said „I love you“ while seeing both her kids, as she sunk her head that emotional high pitch in great relief of her destroyed me entirely, still sad after 2 days 😢
if someone ever asks who is my favorite idol, it's gonna be Ai Hoshino. Even if Ai is fictional, to me she is a real bonafide idol. I got so invested in this story that I never thought I would care this much.
Man, i thought this anime was about i shiny smiley idol who enjoys her peaceful life with her two kids, and now look at this... god that broke my heart😥😭
The like death eyes in Ai got me crying in a way its just sad i don't like it when a loved charchter dies in like the first ep its just sad asf and they used her as the anime cover like blud wtf
I remember someone recommending this manga to me long ago and stopped reading at this exact scene cause i was so distraught, now i get to see it animated 💀
I saw the full Episode and at end I cried and rewatched many times. This anime is soo good that it will traumatize you and depressed you from your childhood and adulthood 😭😭😭😭.
this made me feel ill with guilt and i could feel my soul being crushed, how the heck do you make somone feel this way about an animated character that you know for just over an hour, masterpice
The VA of Ai really is a talented one. She is Rie Takahashi. I heard she consulted the doctors to know how people talk while they are bleeding. Just watch this scene. 0:55
You know what's amazing about Ai? In many other scenarios, Aqua and Ruby would have pretty miserable childhoods (teen mom, lots of work, abusive childhood, etc.), yet she still wanted to give then the best. And when you think about it... isn't Ai's love actually pretty genuine? Even if she never believed it, her actions spoke louder than her words. She felt that she couldn't love anyone after all she experienced, yet she still wanted to make people happy.
I mean, I first saw this spoiler prior to watching it, so ik what'll happen to her when I watch the anime. But man, it hits differently after I watched it, considering that more details are adding up within the scenes plus a heartbreaking line that she said to her killer which all accumulates to a strong feeling of anxiety and sorrows as she's dying 😢 But yeah, her son will take vengeance for their mum's death, and I know the following episodes will be of reciprocation from this episode bc of the son's vengeance. Can't wait for the next release! Oh yeah just to add more, I hope she gets reincarnated too to see her children grow up into becoming an idol and actor. But who knows? I just hope so
@@zk-vd6uy one episode is around 18 minutes (opening and outro isn’t considered a part of the episode, it’s the same in every episode) the first episode was 88 minutes and that equals to around 5 episodes. Good one.
They were so brutal in drawing her looking like an actual corpse but it was such a good decision especially because it signifies so much. The loss of her stars in her eyes aka the light leaving her eyes, and the sight being traumatic to her children.
Even expecting her death still doesn't prevent you from being hurt by what we see now. It's only episode 1 and our hearts were still destroyed by this anime! And Ai's death was truly heartbreaking as we see how drawn out it was and how she even remembered the name of the one who killed her, the fan who killed her. And to cap it all off, she embraced Aqua and told both him and Ruby how she loved them, when she didn't love anyone else, and the stars in her eyes faded away as her life was taken from her, her children she loved, and us the viewers. This scene breaks even the most resolute of viewers, and her sincerity towards her children when she said she loved them was the hardest hit to everyone watching this anime. This is something we'll never recover from, even after Aqua gets revenge. But we'll just have to live with it, and carry Ai's memory for as long as we will ourselves. That's all we can do, that's all that we can do. You will be missed Ai, we always love you, as the best mom Aqua and Ruby could ever have. If only you weren't taken so soon, if only...
Vietnam Flashback to manga panel of Honoka from Love Live, saving Kotori and Umi from getting stabbed by a fan, resulting in Honoka getting stabbed and dying in the process. We idol fans need to learn that our beloved idols are humans and will find lovers that are not us and have family with them, and that is perfectly fine. If we truly love them, we should be happy that they are happy in a relationship with another person that makes them smile.
@Jo Jo It was a fan made manga. I don't know it's name since I saw it on 4Chan many years ago. It still made me feel very sad which made me realize how much I liked Love Live. It didn't help that the artwork was basically identical to the anime but in black and white.
I don't understand. How do these idol fans expect their favourite idol to love a stranger without first being able to give out love to someone close in their family and friend circle? And I know that creepy stalkers exist in this industry because they obsessively love the idol. How come your life starts revolving around a single person when that kind of behaviour isn't healthy even when you are married to your spouse?
The thing is, idol culture in Japan is built to cultivate creeps like those, people who are prepared to sacrifice anything to get that one person to say that they love them...
Go ahead and live with your head held high! No matter how devastated you may be by your own weakness or uselessness…set your heart ablaze. Grit your teeth and look straight ahead.
@RoseInnn Not an anime, but a visual novel called Doki Doki Literature Club, in which if you open the door a very bad thing will happen, in DDLC's case it's the protagonist's childhood friend h*nging herself
I was sad after seeing her, and I knew that love is a war, and that treachery is an inevitable killer, and I was deeply saddened by the whisper she whispered after she opened the door.💔 I love you hoshino ai❤

I just hope that they get revenge on the killer. The anime got me hooked in the first half with how beautiful it is and this made me cry for an hour. Such beautiful eyes gone.
Spoiler:
The killer is dead before second episode
More Spoilers:
The Killer only knew about Ai's whereabouts because of the father of Aqua and Ruby.....
Let's just say, he's not exactly the best sort of person.
*WHY DID YOU MAKE ME WATCH IT TWICE?, MY HANDS MOVE ALONE TO WATCH THIS*
1:14 Man... This face is scary!
It was even scarier that she was smiling because of it's like she found peace...
Guess the animators were like: “let’s make death scary” so they included it. But those are my thoughts
Bro that shit is horrifying, been years I've watched gore and shit and this cartoon is the one that traumatized me the most
she, for the first and last time, said "i love you" and truly meant it. for her, that was like finding the meaning of life and she was able to die in peace. if that isnt enough to destroy your heart and emotions, i dont know what is
@@DHydra_ it was more than enough, and really caught me by surprise like no other anime death in the recent years, but what got me the most was AI‘s voice acting right after she said „I love you“ while seeing both her kids, as she sunk her head that emotional high pitch in great relief of her destroyed me entirely, still sad after 2 days 😢
Corpes in anime be like
I love HOSHINO ai lots of cry she never dies 💐
勧められて見たけど、こんなに泣けるアニメない！今もコメントしながら泣いてる
てか病むw
She passed away while looking at her dear child
The fact that her name "Ai" in Japanese means "Love" hits different 🥺🥺
And her last name is Hoshino - meaning I want... Love.
@@z55177 and hoshi also means "star" and she's the most famous idol 😭
Depending on the kanji used, it can also mean "sorrow".
"Artificial intelligence"
@@SaSo-mk6yh There are more than 1 languages dumbass.
I hardly ever tear up in movies or tv shows let alone cry in bed for 15min. This is one of the only few movies/shows that made me cry
The way she falls near the door, guarding Ruby and embracing Aqua is...💔
NOO I LOVED HER, THE FACT TAHT SHE REMEBERED HIS NAME, SHES TRULY SO PRECIOUSSSSS WHYY
Never expected that this wholesome ep 1 will end trajic ending and made me cry
Her death was the smoothest yet devastating death ive ever seen in anime world rn
I watched this completely blind thinking it was just some comedy and wholesome anime,needless to say I was left speechless
if someone ever asks who is my favorite idol, it's gonna be Ai Hoshino. Even if Ai is fictional, to me she is a real bonafide idol. I got so invested in this story that I never thought I would care this much.
Same for me, i love my favorite person and my favorite idol, Ai -san so much 😘😍❤️🌹, that i will always consider her as a real person
Man, i thought this anime was about i shiny smiley idol who enjoys her peaceful life with her two kids, and now look at this... god that broke my heart😥😭
fr
same
The like death eyes in Ai got me crying in a way its just sad i don't like it when a loved charchter dies in like the first ep its just sad asf and they used her as the anime cover like blud wtf
Understand dude.😭😭
this fucking broke me internally. rest in peace, Ai Hoshino.
In my years of watching anime I have never cry at any of them but this one literally got me crying
I remember someone recommending this manga to me long ago and stopped reading at this exact scene cause i was so distraught, now i get to see it animated 💀
I stopped reading here as well. I couldn't keep up with the sudden development.
And thus a star dies, only for a Supernova to follow up!
I saw the full Episode and at end I cried and rewatched many times. This anime is soo good that it will traumatize you and depressed you from your childhood and adulthood 😭😭😭😭.
THIS WAS FORESHADOWED DAMMIT
I KNEW THIS WAS GOING TO HAPPEN
BUT IT DOESNT HURT ANY LESS
This scene is going to be living in my head rent free for awhile…
When I saw the death frame of Ai I for real shit in my pants after this frame. It was damn brutal and creepy af!
even though i dont watch anime or read any manga
this makes me cry so badly
Damn so true ;-;
this made me feel ill with guilt and i could feel my soul being crushed, how the heck do you make somone feel this way about an animated character that you know for just over an hour,
masterpice
The VA of Ai really is a talented one. She is Rie Takahashi. I heard she consulted the doctors to know how people talk while they are bleeding. Just watch this scene. 0:55
I just couldn’t handle how hard this part of the anime put on me. I’m really surprised that I didn’t cry when watching
You know what's amazing about Ai? In many other scenarios, Aqua and Ruby would have pretty miserable childhoods (teen mom, lots of work, abusive childhood, etc.), yet she still wanted to give then the best.
And when you think about it... isn't Ai's love actually pretty genuine? Even if she never believed it, her actions spoke louder than her words. She felt that she couldn't love anyone after all she experienced, yet she still wanted to make people happy.
嗚呼、こんなにゾクゾクしてドキドキして不安になるのに引き込まれるアニメはない…
I mean, I first saw this spoiler prior to watching it, so ik what'll happen to her when I watch the anime. But man, it hits differently after I watched it, considering that more details are adding up within the scenes plus a heartbreaking line that she said to her killer which all accumulates to a strong feeling of anxiety and sorrows as she's dying 😢
But yeah, her son will take vengeance for their mum's death, and I know the following episodes will be of reciprocation from this episode bc of the son's vengeance. Can't wait for the next release!
Oh yeah just to add more, I hope she gets reincarnated too to see her children grow up into becoming an idol and actor. But who knows? I just hope so
I like how the kids grew up to be teenagers in 1 episode, man they sure do grow fast 😂
Technically, 3 episodes in a hour an half format with time skip. Seriously man?
@@SiliconDrifter I thought 4-5 episodes in 1 go
@@Quietlamacakes 20 minutes per episode(excluding op and ed) so uhh yeah 3.5 episode
@@zk-vd6uy one episode is around 18 minutes (opening and outro isn’t considered a part of the episode, it’s the same in every episode) the first episode was 88 minutes and that equals to around 5 episodes. Good one.
@@Quietlamacakes hmm i see
They were so brutal in drawing her looking like an actual corpse but it was such a good decision especially because it signifies so much. The loss of her stars in her eyes aka the light leaving her eyes, and the sight being traumatic to her children.
Just remember.. Ai means love in Japanese...
Yea that's the whole point of her character too
Ai also means sorrow
And hoshi means star
1:15 is terrifying, its so sad, why just why
0:05 *best part*
WHAT?!?!?!
Watching the death made me cry because it hit so hard, thinking you can loose someone just like that.
First anime to make me cry my God
Even expecting her death still doesn't prevent you from being hurt by what we see now. It's only episode 1 and our hearts were still destroyed by this anime!
And Ai's death was truly heartbreaking as we see how drawn out it was and how she even remembered the name of the one who killed her, the fan who killed her. And to cap it all off, she embraced Aqua and told both him and Ruby how she loved them, when she didn't love anyone else, and the stars in her eyes faded away as her life was taken from her, her children she loved, and us the viewers.
This scene breaks even the most resolute of viewers, and her sincerity towards her children when she said she loved them was the hardest hit to everyone watching this anime. This is something we'll never recover from, even after Aqua gets revenge. But we'll just have to live with it, and carry Ai's memory for as long as we will ourselves. That's all we can do, that's all that we can do.
You will be missed Ai, we always love you, as the best mom Aqua and Ruby could ever have. If only you weren't taken so soon, if only...
Oh an idol anime. Must be wholesome and cute.
*Watches episode 1*
……..
Cries for an entire day
kinda same but dropped tears for 30 minutes
I still can’t get over it, I’ve never been this emotional over a show before 😢
@@maxie1199 same bro
Press F to pay respect
Vietnam Flashback to manga panel of Honoka from Love Live, saving Kotori and Umi from getting stabbed by a fan, resulting in Honoka getting stabbed and dying in the process.
We idol fans need to learn that our beloved idols are humans and will find lovers that are not us and have family with them, and that is perfectly fine. If we truly love them, we should be happy that they are happy in a relationship with another person that makes them smile.
Hold up I don't remember that part in Love Live
@Jo Jo It was a fan made manga. I don't know it's name since I saw it on 4Chan many years ago. It still made me feel very sad which made me realize how much I liked Love Live. It didn't help that the artwork was basically identical to the anime but in black and white.
@@PlatinumV3 you still know where to find it?
I don't understand. How do these idol fans expect their favourite idol to love a stranger without first being able to give out love to someone close in their family and friend circle? And I know that creepy stalkers exist in this industry because they obsessively love the idol. How come your life starts revolving around a single person when that kind of behaviour isn't healthy even when you are married to your spouse?
The thing is, idol culture in Japan is built to cultivate creeps like those, people who are prepared to sacrifice anything to get that one person to say that they love them...
Go ahead and live with your head held high! No matter how devastated you may be by your own weakness or uselessness…set your heart ablaze. Grit your teeth and look straight ahead.
Am I the only one who thinks this scene got the same vibes, as "I gently opened the door..."?😭
Bro no stop
I am getting PTSD
@@skarv3cI don’t get it? What anime and what scene.
@RoseInnn Not an anime, but a visual novel called Doki Doki Literature Club, in which if you open the door a very bad thing will happen, in DDLC's case it's the protagonist's childhood friend h*nging herself
Miguel O'Hara: Bro, it's a Canon event.
"Life doesnt come with a manual. It comes with a mother"

I was sad after seeing her, and I knew that love is a war, and that treachery is an inevitable killer, and I was deeply saddened by the whisper she whispered after she opened the door.💔
I love you hoshino ai❤
This scene hurts me more than any other scene in anime. More heartbreaking than Your Lie In April.
Hey hey hey don't compare the two, Your lie in April still breaks me aaaa..
