    Disclaimer: I haven’t actually seen it and I have no intention to see it because it certainly sounds like an otaku focused (criticism supposedly, but also pandering for profit, sounds like) version of the kind of entertainment I already dislike and have been saturated with in previous years against my will because it was sort of impossible to exist in public and participate in conversations without hearing about the latest on Gambo or the like.

    It's mostly a show about the two kids working in entertainment and being actors on reality shows, singers, etc. Then later on a mystery progresses.

    There aren't any violent shocks like what is in the first episode. It critiques otaku culture and the entertainment industry by showing the characters navigate those things (online harassment, paparazzi, having to maintain a certain public image, etc). Not a violent shock factor program like Gambo

    Like for example the manga does not have a part with Ruby being taken advantage of by a man in the industry. She goes to someones house to talk and is photographed on the way out so the narrative arc is trying to prevent that story from being published. But here it comments on the state of the entertainment industry and what happens to young women without making us watch Ruby go through that
