One complain about this EP, how did Kongming even recognize the Cheongsam/Qipao as part of the Chinese culture if they were invented almost 1.5 millenia later (17th century, Samkok happened in the 3rd century)?


Are you insinuating that lord Kongming couldn't predict future fashion trends based on calculations of all possible world events?

Another fantastic episode...

This show gets better. It's hilarious and has plenty of heart and life lessons. Kongming is, indeed, a CHAD and Eiko is so adorable. She's such a sweetheart.

We need the soundtrack for this show. The music is also great and a lit opener.

If there's one thing I'm happy more than anything about this series right now is how much more exposure and attention it's been getting recently. I'm hoping this trend continues for a while yet for this gem of a series! ^_^

The episode itself was another great one. Once again, Kongming's tactics was flawless as he had Eiko sing at a music festival in Yoyogi Park and, despite her stage being hard for newer performers to do well on, Kongming's strategy helps her make her arrival on stage in style. It's really nice to see Eiko doing really well as a result.

Not just that, but Kongming was kind enough to help the other indie band with some throat medicine to help the vocalist's voice chords and is a fan of their music as well. The insight into his past and what influenced him here makes Kongming a joy to watch. If only he wears those silly star glasses more often... XD

I can't wait for the next episode as always!

This is so good! My favorite part is the owner’s pure delight when he gets to geek out about 3 kingdoms. FINALLY someone who gets it! (I’m waiting to meet someone who’s excited about Water Margin. Or heard of it.)

I really liked that they put on the hungarian flag on Eiko's jacket and cap, it made my day because my country gets some recognition even in Japan! ^^

the great strategist strikes again!
sooner or later Eiko must not always depend on him because she should know there are others who started from scratch but with hard work they rose-up...
lolz Zhuge Liang even helped the other dudes! haha nice! technology fits his strategy and able to quickly adapt!
5/5.

In terms of animation, episode 1 and 2 did a better job, but overall this anime is AMAZING! Loved how they're doing this and I really want to see how it will go!
I just don't want those "Static frames" when she sings... I Loved the scene of Eiko playing guitar on her house.. Expect more scenes like this

I can't help but think the person who edited the video of Eiko for a picture is later going to turn into a stalker. He was there at Eiko's performance too, which makes me think he's not a throwaway character.

Hope that's not the case though!


Yeah, came here to say the same. Wasn't exactly getting a Perfect Blue vibe, but the fact that he was willing to take a photo of Eiko as payment for doing some work with Adobe Premiere gives me some pause.

Kongming managed to avoid getting in a tension, but avoid it by giving out medicine to help with the throats. He really knows how to do things, the past experience has a lot to do how he is able to help Eiko gather followers. Good episode.

Kongming not only defeats his enemies, but he can also even redeem them. Eiko continues to build confidence to perform in a bigger crowd. I wonder what's the next place Eiko will perform. In the end, they showed an important-looking businessman. It seems like Eiko will be having her debut on a bigger stage after this.

Still a banger OP and ED.

"The Thirty-Six Stratagems" another Greatness from Kongming.

the way he handle and counter Jet Jacket was so satisfying.

so when Eiko was singing it was 96neko, the one who singing the ED song.

Paripi Koumei is an unexpected surprise, and from my observation, it's more intriguing than Spy X Family.

I am really liking this anime so far, I wasn't really feeling it after the first episode but it is just getting better and better! I usually have problems with liking beginning episodes but I never drop something after only watching one episode...unless it is just horrendous.

It was really sweet too when Kongming helped Jet Jacket and asked for their autographs ๐Ÿ˜ญ...even though he talked about chopping their heads off later lol.

Solid episode. Some more smart strats and some more looks into Kongming’s past regrets.

Not very great animation this time around but it got the job done. I did think that Kongming seeing the ghosts of his former comrades while Eiko was warming up was cheesy and his miracle throat soother felt out of place.

That said, most of the rest was very enjoyable.

Now directly at the festival Kongming is still applying some of his strategies and it's working perfectly good, Eiko is really gonna succeed with him, also that was nice how he still helped the boys band with their throat at the end, but now we're up to the main opponent? :o

Kongming's brilliant tactical mind shined again, but damn, he's also savage.

Good thing Japan enjoys peaceful times or it would've gotten dark xD

Yet again, what a blast of an episode, I thoroughly enjoyed the entire course of it as I did the previous episodes!

My man Kongming is putting the W in Eiko's path to overwhelming success. Eiko did brilliantly of course, as she said herself in her song, the instant she performs, the audience sees her with her singing. Now that she got the confidence, the genuine ability to sing, her obviously cute demeanour, the owner's support and Kongming's strategic planning, she'll be a force to be reckoned with.

Kongming's exchange with the Jet Jacket dudes was rather wholesome, showing humanity and a positive attitude inspire healthy competition instead of them being a toxic rival to Eiko.

Man I just love the writing of this show. It's a gem that I put off knowing it would be soothing and enjoyable to binge watch it in spurts.

Btw the owner questions the wisdom of being kind to the other band, but I think Kongming is seeing the long game. One day Aiko might be the act to warm up the crowd before them.
