Ahead of its premiere, Oshi no Ko already had a lot of hype behind it. This is thanks to the popularity of the manga that’s created by Aka Akasaka (Kaguya-sama: Love Is War) and Mengo Yokoyari (Scum’s Wish).

Following its movie-length first episode, Oshi no Ko took over the anime discussions online thanks to its unique story and shocking twists. The show’s hype was maintained until the final episode.

During the show’s run in Spring 23, a documentary series was shared on the anime’s official channel. Each episode of this docuseries focused on one aspect of the series’ creation.

For starters, the first episode focused on the pre-production stage for the staff members. The next episodes then went into detail about the show’s production, recording, and soundtrack creation.

It has been some months since the release of the fifth episode, so most fans thought the documentary was over. That didn't turn out to be the case as another episode was released just recently.
