Oshi no Ko AnimeJapan 2023 Trailer Previews Ending Theme
AnimeJapan 2023 happened over the weekend, and it featured lots of big announcements, including Jujutsu Kaisen Season 2, the Spy x Family movie, and more.
Among the big reveals was the new Oshi no Ko trailer which showed fans brand-new footage from the anime.
It also treated fans to the reveal of the show’s ending theme by Queen Bee titled Mephisto.
Queen Bee performing the ending was revealed before, but this new trailer is the first time that a snippet of the song was played. Check it out here:
Along with the ending theme reveal, the highlight of the new trailer is no doubt the snippets that we got featuring the show’s cast.
While it’s Ruby Hoshino who takes center stage in the trailer, other major characters like Kana Arima, Akane Kurokawa, and Mem-Cho also got some time to shine in the preview.
Based on the trailer, it’s also pretty much confirmed that the anime will cover the Dating Reality Show arc, and possibly The First Concert arc, depending on how fast the show covers the manga’s chapters.
