it rules that kabetaijin is pivotal to the plan because of not only his musical ability but his ability to piss people off since taunting people and roasting them to death is extremely a zhuge liang classic

Well, that was a satisfying ending. Let's hope for a Volume 2 announcement soon! As far as reincarnations go (minor manga spoilers): Guan Yu is confirmed to be in this time period as well per the bonus short stories at the end of the manga volumes. He's been tasked by "a certain person" to travel the world and photoblog his adventures. It's not really clear who sent him on this task, but the obvious choices are Liu Bei or Zhuge Liang.

Haven't watched a current-running anime in a few years; glad that the opening song drew me in to watch it week-by-week. As satisfying as these 12 episodes were, I'm really hoping for another season to come out; really wanna see Kongming's outfits from the OP in context

I think they should respect the azalea (idol group) fans and not totally abandon the songs and performance styles that so many people enjoyed. they can switch from revealing to extravagant costuming and play live sets if it makes them feel less like sellouts but the die hards who supported them in the whole period after the first rebrand shouldn't be made to feel like the band think of them as pigs eating slop imo

TenementFunster posted:they ARE pigs and it WAS slop tho We're back to the previously discussed problem with music anime that the actually produced songs don't always seem to have quite the qualities to necessarily convey what their effects in the plot are supposed to be i guess. didn't have any irl opinions on any of the music besides that all the rap besides the first battle was noticeably worse

Cute season of anime. I preferred the OG Azalea song over Beautiful Dreamer. Sorry, Eiko!  But really, I just want to see that stuck-up pop lady from early in the season to get her comeuppance at Summer Sonia.

I was surprised to see they went all out and had a music anime with actual music in it. A lot of times studios don't commission entirely new tracks to play outside of the OP and the ED and those are usually selected from an already existing catalog. Eiko's song made me cry.

i kinda felt the opposite, my main issue with the show was it spending several episodes running that one song with bad english lyrics back out, rather than having a new song in every performance scene which is pretty standard for the music/idol anime i have watched. i get that its an important song to eiko but still, come on

Those shows also completely ignore any actual song writing process and pull complete performances out of nowhere for the sake of it, which is fine for a typical idol anime but would be weird where when Eiko having trouble writing one new song is a plot point.

Actuality laughed out loud for this one. Time to listen to the full OP on repeat for 1h to try and fill the kongming shaped hole in my heart.

Given the positive response to the series so far, I'm sure they'll do more of the manga. After all, we've only seen Part 1 of his plan! Summer Sonia's coming, and who knows what will happen there.

Apparently the live action adaptation of the anime is currently airing, they're up to episode 3 already https://www.fujitv.com/drama/yaboykongming/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aG7Xk9_A7Lk The total height of the costume (including ridiculously tall hat) is apparently 6'11" lol
