This arc is, to say the least pretty disappointing. Still, its premise is still rather unique, and we might not get something like this for a while.

My fav anime of this season has finally came to and end. But I shall continue to my weekly Chitty Chitty Bang Bangs on yt now.

This Battle Shibuya 109 arc, Kongming did so much flexing on us tho. First appearing on top of the 109 building with similar vibe of:

Then proceeds to orchestrate from peak gaming chair setup. Kongming is ma boy.
One criticism tho Kabe didn't seem that usefull in 100k likes project. Maybe he would have if Kongming used his original stratagem which would absolutely destroy Azalea. Still, Kabe moments were fire as well so its not like a drawback.

actually i dont really watching music anime beside Zombieland saga,,
but this anime is really good,
the anime that always make me curious every week to what happen later and make me waiting for it, other mean i enjoying this,,
the end we see Eiko winning the compettion again her rival azalea as Koumei Planned,
she can showing her quality of her own music and let the people aknownledge it,,
for azalea side, even they was beaten by eiko but they dont lose a thing and make their own true music that make them happy,, and its a good thing for them,, lose and gain something better,,

the azalea producer who always forced his owm way to azalea has a deep side, once failed on his band in his young age, and doing a better to azalea for not making them failed like he was,,
a kind producer but in hard way i think..

good end for everyone,,
im really like this serries,,
so give 8/10

Koumei was the best thing about this show and he was sidelined by Kabe and Azalea halfway through, which pushed the show down from a solid 8 to a 6.5 to me. The bad guy who went way over the top with his way of doing 'business' also doesn't help.

The saying has already been said earlier in this thread, but I still want to say it regardless. All good things must come to an end and the biggest surprise to come out of this Spring season must end as well. Breakout shows can be a great thing in getting that deserved exposure, but the increase of the sudden popularity rise can bring in those cynical critics who don't judge a show fairly enough to appreciate how good it really is, partly due to that popularity.

Ya Boy Kongming will have its fair share of those critics, some with legit reasons, but I think the majority will agree that this show was great fun. This last episode with Eiko finally performing her new song, Dreamer, continues that fun feeling with a drop of power from her vocals in making the song sound so moving and special. It was enough for Nanami and her bandmates to drop their masks and vow to go back to their origins and with the help of Kongming, they got their wish and Karasawa was convinced to continue managing them, too. =)

So that end's Kongming's word plan volume 1. If we ever get a sequel, I want to see what his 2nd volume plan will be like. Only time will tell...

Overall, I have to give this series a 9/10. It makes me happy to see P.A Works getting a lot of positive praise for once and they did great with their first manga adaptation. Visuals and animation were consistently strong all season, with the performances from this last episode as well as episode 2 showing some lovely performing movements and choreography. If a second season happens, I hope P.A Works works on it again. After all, The Eccentric Family is proof that P.A Works CAN do a second season, so it's a reason enough for me to be optimistic. =P

Man, Kongming (P.A. Works) better be working on that "Plan for Peace Throughout the World - Volume 2."

What a surprise of a show this was, the first episode immediately made us all fall in love and it stayed that way throughout its run.

Gonna miss this show a lot, especially Eiko, but I am definitely adding the manga to the plan to read list, though it's hard to beat the anime in shows like this, with the singing and all. 9/10

what a beautiful song!! Eiko song hits hard...

Azalea real performance was Amazing as well..
Both of them are the Winner in their own way.

my god Kongming always 5 step ahead, RESPECT!!

ngl before Spring 2022 Anime started, Ya Boy Kongming isn't in my list to watch at all, until after i heard the Ciki Ciki Bam Bam OP song everywhere on Twitter.

Very Good First Season, definitely blowing all my expectation.
8/10

Hopefully we get Season 2 in the future.
P.A Works did a good job here, Thank You!

pretty good. It was enjoyable to the end even if it slogged a bit during the rap arc (idk it probably could have been shortened. all the performances were enjoyable but the boy is just kinda generic. so not that interesting.) I enjoyed the Eiko x Nanami arc. low key I was kinda hoping for them to be last minute lesbians, but it's fine that didn't happen. they can still be gay in my mind. a stronger ending than I expected

So, they went for the happy ending for everyone route.
This started really good and went downhill when the Rapper was introduced.
Still do not know why they needed Kabe, he served no purpose to the main story at all.
No new song would ever solve everybody's problems, not in my world anyhow.

For me is 10/10!
An amazing animation with also incridible singers and music! We can see the hard work of all members from the staff, and how they took care of this with special attention, all details with instruments (Tuning, Fingers, Notes, Instruments being used to play and also acapella).
Also, as a musician I could feel how the characters could feel the heavy of being a musician and their needs to get results, with technic, engajament, and obviously, get money with their work, it's incridible, loved this anime! I really wish this show could get a second season!

I actually have gone tired of watching music themed anime, then I see it's produced by PA Works..

I tried watching it and found a good anime. The musics are good too, many cover musics, and I also like the Opening music, it reminds me of Tattoo Kiss(Kaleido Star).

Overall a good anime, I hope there will be next season.

I guess Azalea's manager had no choice but to give in. Kongming really covered everything with this strategy.

Beautiful music by Eiko, I don't know about Azalea song though. But I am glad they broke out of their shell. Can't wait for more if there will next season, there has to be though with that cliffhanger.

7/10.

I like it; it has potential, but it feels a little unpolished.
it's a 6.5 for me right now but i'll round it up for the rating. looking forward to season 2 and hopefully some more kabe and how he is going to be part of the songwriting/performing process

The whole thing was really good.
The show slowed down noticeably by the middle, but I think the pay off was definitely worth it.

I really hope we get a season 2. As good as this was, it feels like the set up for something bigger and it most likely is.

Glad I skipped last week's episode to watch it along with the last episode as one big grand finale.

glad to see anime from PA Works shines, didn't expect this to be popular when EP1 aired as I saw the show had so few viewers.

The visual as well as the music is great as always, history elements are interesting as well! Let's pray for a S2 though PA Works seldom does that.

I wonder why Eiko's manager wanted to get out of the truck. I guess he wants to watch as well, lol.

I'm not that knowledgeable about the music industry, but why won't Azalea's manager let them play their own music alongside his music? Seems like a good compromise. Do musical groups just stick to one type of music? I mean, if I'm not mistaken The Beatles was successful since they've experimented with different styles. Oh well, I'm guessing I'm overthinking this anime, lol.

Kongming's pretty brave for introducing himself to Azalea's manager, lol.

Oh wait, never mind. What I've overthought basically became true. As in, Azalea's manager would let them play their own songs.

Aw yeah, great ending! Hopefully a second season!

i really love nanami's voice♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡

the premise was really interesting & it started out strong but sad to say i was a little disinterested along the way, the overarching plot was kinda boring, i liked the raps tho i mean ichirouSEKITOBAAAAAAAA♡♡♡♡♡ the characters & their stories were charming♡ and i really liked seeing glimpses of the zhu ge liang's past

I enjoyed the music a lot and love all the characters esp eiko, kabe, koumei and nanamin but plot wise esp the last ep of the series is predictable (for me) so overall 7/10

Main highlight of the series for me would be rap battle and eiko nanamin bond

A unique show of the season. The biggest attraction is Koming all the way through for me. This further compelled given how the narrative and characters progress through his actions.

Overall, a solid 6/10.


It could get 0.5 more.

If I had binged it, I'd likely had rated it much lower or dropped it at some point. I think I only finished it because I watched it weekly.

This is one of those times where I rate based on my enjoyment rather than rating it on everything else such as story, etc. While it does have parts where it could have expanded on to make it a really good show, I never found myself bored watching the show.

Also, Dreamer is really good.

A great finale to this surprise awesome series that came out of nowhere. Loved the songs, especially Be Crazy For Me and Shooting Star.

VOLUME 1 COMPLETED! Now we need a S2 please ;-; I don't know whether we'll be getting one or not but boy will I definitely watch that if it does.

A 8.5/10. Maybe even higher!

A great finale. This serious was so much fun and I deeply hope there will be a S2. We get a pretty happy ending for both parties and the cruel reality of "no one will listen to your OG shit" is not really a huge worry at this point considering the fan base they've built up. Even if it is a slight change in style. It's funny tho cause I feel Azalea is quite a bit more hardcore than EIKO's very edm/poppy music. Would all those people that showed up For Azalea really be into her song?

Eiko's song "Dreamer" was indeed awesome. It's my first time hearing it but I already like it. I'm glad that Nanamin and her friends goes back to their ORIGINAL AZALEA. Now that Ik what happened to their manager back then, I now understand why he's like that with azalea as he don't want azalea to fail like his band.

I never thought that this anime will be this GOOOOOOOOOOD that I'll finish it in just 1 day. The intro is also sick as dang that It's so hard to skip each time It came every episode.

Seriously Hoping for a 2nd season of this anime as It's good as dang. Story, Characters, Music, Scenery, Everything is just so good.

No more "Paripi Komei" How sad.

HOPING FOR A 2ND SEASON!!

Season 1 just ended, now we need Season 2!!!

You know, how much I love this show, when the first time I discover this Anime because of the banger opening song, I'm fall in love with the concept of this show, this is like new type of Anime i guess, the overpower MC from old China, reincarnated to Modern day Tokyo, meet someone who is into music, and become her manager, that ahhhg so nicee concept!!

This Anime is very fit into my taste, I like EDM music so much that I started become an EDM music producer, and I like Anime too, combining Anime with EDM, it's totally my taste! Also the character is so good, especially Eiko, I like her, so kawaii!!

Also the combination of War Strategy and Music, the strategy is so mind blowing one of the reason I like this Anime, and seeing growing of Eiko popularity brcausr of her sang with Koumei's strategyz.

Still vibing to the OP Song, that song is introducing me into Eurobeat genre, I like the Eiko's sing, wonder how talented Seiyuu who voice acting for Eiko's sing.

Mind Blowing Strategy + Banger EDM-Jpop Music + Music Concert = S-tier type of Anime.

Okay that all my opinion about the Anime, everything is very good, I never unfavorite this Anime forever, I will rewatch this Anime sometimes so I never get chance to change my mind hahah...

I rate this Anime, ∞/10 :)

Mean, my love for this Anime is uncountable, that's why it's ∞/10 UwU

Sheeeeeeeeesh
