The
suffering of looking for links of dubious origin is over. After years of having
the series practically "kidnapped" in our region, Crunchyroll finally
put on the cape and announced a saving alliance with HIDIVE to bring all the
drama of Oshi no Ko to Latin America and Spain. It was almost
a crime that the most mediatic anime of recent times was not easily accessible
legally in these parts.
Details
of how the catalog will look on the orange platform
The
unfolding of the episodes is going to be a bit staggered, but it's worth it.
For starters, the first season is now fully available in the
catalog, ideal for you to throw that legendary and painful 90-minute pilot
episode if you haven't seen it yet. The most curious thing about the matter is
the order of what follows: the third season (which premiered
just this January 14, 2026) is already airing in simulcast format
every week with subtitles in Latin Spanish, while the second season, that
little gem focused on the work of "Tokyo Blade", will arrive on the
service until the spring of this year.
For this
third part of the story, the studio kept almost all of its star staff with some
minor changes in the animation direction, adding new talents to the cast such
as Yuto Takenaka and Yōji Ueda. In the musical section they do not disappoint
either, since the new opening "Test Me" is in charge of CHANMINA, while
the ending "Serenade" is courtesy of natori, giving it that dark pop
touch that the franchise handles perfectly.
About
the Oshi no Ko phenomenon
In case
you've lived under a rock, this masterpiece created by Aka Akasaka (the
same genius behind Kaguya-sama) and illustrator Mengo
Yokoyari put us squarely into the murkiest, most toxic and realistic
side of the Japanese entertainment industry. The original manga just concluded
in November 2024 with its 16th volume, leaving fans with a tremendous
existential void. Between the live-action fresh out of the oven, the play and
now this expansion into legal streaming, Ai Hoshino's franchise proves that it
is still more alive than ever.
