Crunchyroll is a leading anime streaming service, but it faces strong competition. While major platforms like Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, HBO Max, and Hulu are also offering anime, HIDIVE has stood out by focusing solely on the genre and securing exclusive titles. Now, it seems Crunchyroll is aiming to gain an edge by acquiring HIDIVE’s most popular exclusive series.
When Oshi no Ko debuted in 2023, it quickly became a major hit on HIDIVE, and the second season also streamed there. Now, in a surprising change, Crunchyroll will be the exclusive streaming home for the third season of this dramatic story about the world of idols. Crunchyroll recently released a new trailer and visual for the upcoming season, which is set to premiere in January, signaling their strong commitment to competing in the anime streaming market. With the original manga having concluded late last year, fans are eager to see if the third season will wrap up the story or if Studio Doga Kobo will produce a fourth season.
What Will Oshi No Ko Season 3 Be About?
I’m so hyped! Crunchyroll just dropped some details about the third season of *Oshi No Ko*, which is coming in January! From what they’ve shared, the story is really moving forward. It’s been six months since B-Komachi’s comeback with “POP IN 2,” and they’re finally on the verge of hitting it big thanks to MEM-Cho! Aqua is doing amazingly well as an all-around performer, and Akane’s acting career is taking off. But things aren’t so bright for Kana, who’s lost her spark. And Ruby? She’s determined to uncover the truth about Ai and Goro, and she’s climbing the entertainment ladder – even if it means using deception to get there. Seriously, I can’t wait!
Oshi no Ko is a series known for tackling difficult and often dark themes, particularly the realities of being a popular musician. It’s been a hit in multiple formats – as a manga, an anime, a Japanese TV series, and even a movie. While the manga concluded in a way that doesn’t suggest a continuation, it still left a strong emotional impact on readers around the world.
HIDIVE has worked hard to attract viewers with exclusive anime series, including popular titles like *Call of the Night*, *Is It Wrong To Pick Up Girls In A Dungeon?*, *Dark Gathering*, *The Eminence in Shadow*, and *Ragna Crimson*. That’s why the removal of *Oshi no Ko* came as a surprise to many anime fans, and it remains to be seen how this change will affect the streaming service.
