| this was like kinda really good lol i remember seeing ad for this and being like that looks so dumb i need to check it out turns out it was a reverse Isekai like demon part timer where we dont get enough of em now adays turned out to be pretty darn funny to but unexpectedly real at times Eiko seemed to have quite a troubled pass but she has my support! Hondo's singing is really great and she can even do it in english but hey shes Sakura from zombie land will continue with this one since music is good and comedy seems solid plus you can put Zhuge Liang as your favorite MC of the season lol also funny the ED is the same one from D4DJ mix |
 |
| LOL that was pretty nice. i love the dynamic between them |
| Kaede. Kongming. Three Kingdom nerd, kek. Pa Works. Then Kibun Jojo (d4dj memories intensified) as the ending song. First seeing the pv from mal expo and i expect this to be a hit. But ya boy, Kongming, the first episode indeed giving a great impact to me. Eiko and Kongming va doin a well done voice acting there. Not to mention pa works doing nice works here too. So i really just enjoy this premiere. Second spring watch being listed from the first of April. Welcome Ya boy Kongming! |

| Ok I picked this one in the last minute and not so bad huh, really surprised me, seems promising so far. Hidive is finally competing with Crunchyroll on seaosnal anime, and they seem to have done a good job with the subs on this one, all the music was subbed as well as the on screen text, lets see where they gonna go from here. |
 |
| Really enjoyed this episode! I like how well Eiko was introduced as a character, her personality and her motivation already makes me invested. I don't know how trendy is English songs in Japan (whereas in Taiwan, most of the kids I taught listened to English music and knew who Alan Walker is), but we got an explanation for why Eiko likes singing English lyrics, since the artist who moved her heart was an American singer. And Kongming of course is just fun so far, and it's great that he's already dedicated to helping her succeed. I'm really liking them as a duo, and am also looking forward to the rest of the cast ^^ Also, the music is on point. 96neko's vocals are great, and while it's noticeably different from the voice actress, I think it's still quite believable. |

Already liking the chemistry between Kongming and Eiko and the music was also pretty cool. Looking forward to more! nyugvo6 said: one question. are the horns real? I have to know before watching. ??? Eiko was just wearing a sexy Oni costume for Halloween. sexy onis are a huge selling point for me, please understand. |
| 馬鹿げた倫理 全部ガラクタで |
| Damn, that was great, I am fucking sold already. 96Neko is doing Eiko's singing voice, first I've heard her was from the Heaven's Design Team OP, she's great. Would be nice to hear Hondo Kaede sing too though, as she is the center of Franchouchou lmao. Already really like our 2 main characters, also love how Kongming is able to easily adapt in the modern world, I mean mans was already asking about blockchains lmao, truly the man with a hundred million IQ. Honestly did not expect the show to be this good, but I am really looking forward to the next episode. |
 |
| What an amazing first episode this show had! I really loved the dynamic between the two leads Kongming and Eika. This felt like a reverse Isekai mixed with Idol music. Hope, it stays strong throughout and what a way to kick off Spring 2022. |
 |
| After watching at first i thought that animation is too good only to come to know that it is done by P.A. Works. This was pretty good for first episode however it is too early to judge but story looks good for now, will stick to it for more episodes to see if it's worth. |

| That was amazing. As a Dynasty Warriors fan who loves music, I'm going to love this series and the owner is a huge three kingdoms nerd just like me. lol. So many references to the three kingdoms makes me grin with excitement. The person who did the singing voice for Eiko was really good and her English was decent to a point where I can understand what she is saying. Although, this isn't an idol series as this show will focus on different genres of music like Pop, Hip-Hop, EDM, etc. This rendition of Hey DJ is better than the D4DJ version. |

| How many episodes are planned? I hope for 24 at least! |

| The reborn Zhuge Liang wakes up during Halloween of all times, and is mistaken for an ultra-accurate totally-in-character Zhuge Liang cosplayer. He was the genius of his time but now Eiko must teach him things. On the spot, Eiko plays a song on her guitar as he thinks of all his compatriots and how he's the only one alive. Eiko's boss was willing to play along, revealing himself to be a Romance of the Three Kingdoms nerd as Zhuge Liang gets every detail right. Telling the bartender to keep the eyepatch since it reminds him of Xiahou Dun, despite it not being Halloween. Zhuge Liang quickly masters the art of pouring drinks. 2000s J-Rap ending, wow that takes me back... |

| I have to admit, after first hearing what this series is called which had me smiling, watching this was pretty much guaranteed. XD I didn't expect the first episode to drop so soon, but what a way to start off the Spring season from P.A Works and their very first manga adaptation. On first episode impressions, this was a really good one. Despite his circumstances, it didn't take long for Kongming to make good chemistry with Eiko, who was kind to let him stay had her place instead of leaving him on the streets of Tokyo. Eiko herself looks nice (especially her Oni outfit and her sexy casual clothing in her apartment) and she helped him get employed at the nightclub that she works in. We also got insight in how she was inspired to become a musician after going through so hard times during her high school years, but she feels like she was getting nowhere with her music career. Thankfully, Kongming was won over with her singing and he'll do what he can to make her dreams come true. So yeah, this first episode was great fun. The comedy was good, the visuals are great, as expected from P.A Works and the ED song was a good jam, helped by the glowing text that did follow the beat of the song at one point. It's early days, but here's hoping this series keeps up with this good start all the way to the end. =D |
| Great animation and production values, shame they decreased fanservice like Dat Ass. Yakuza-Kazuma best character. |

| what the hell is going on and why is it actually good |
Call me Ren  |
| Not gonna lie, it is exceeding my expectation. But a little bit sad that that it's Hondo Kaede is the one who singing it. |
 |
| Fun episode. Love the VAs and the music is great. Animation is obviously top notch with PA Works. Story sounds interesting. Probably going to ended up being one of my favorites from this season. |
| Pleasantly surprised with how good this was. Was expecting some fish out of water embarassment, but I got a show that was genuinely funny and had a lot of heart. Just cut right through the nonsense and got straight to the good stuff. I had know clue who Kongming was going into this, and fortunately it looks like knowledge of his life honestly isn't all that important; show does a good enough job covering the basics, and his character in this show is endearing enough to get us to like him anyway. Good stuff all around, looking forward to seeing more. |
| Trying out (almost) every anime that airs each season since 2018. |

The credits clearly list a singing voice VA. Someone named Neko 96 Ah sorry, I forgot the "not". I really want Hondo Kaede's the one who singing it. Now the voice is going to be a little different. |
|
| This is quite a thrill to watch! I'm loving the music, the aesthetic of the entire city and inside the Disco, the characters are very funny and the animation looks good. I also love how Kongming is willing to listen and decided to do whatever it takes to help the girl succeed as a singer. Really heartwarming. This is only just the first episode. So i'm pretty sure that the next ones will get to learn more about the show's story and the direction is going with. |

| This might me an impressive reverse isekai... 5/5. |
 |
| F/GO technically having Kongming as a playable character made me want to watch this and it's even better that Ryōtarō Okiayu voices Kongming lol. Pretty impressed by the concept, music was also pretty good. |
 |
| omg this is outstanding !! very very promising and highly recommended to watch !! |
| Anyone Noticed that the ending song was "Happy Around" from D4DJ. |
 |
| That was actually quite nice and refreshing! I love Eiko's voice and the animation was really good! Cannot wait for more! |
 |
| Just as a warning to anyone who has epilepsy / is prone to seizures, you might want to keep your eyes closed during the ed. At one point the text starts flashing bright white over and over again. You aren't missing any important visuals if you keep your eyes closed: just a bunch of text that starts flashing mid way through. Still, the ed song is an absolute bop. Anyways, best first episode so far this season. Great characters: love the weird history nerd club owner, and really like the main duo's dynamics so far. Some pretty funny moments and good bits in this first episode too. Audio visuals seem pretty good so far, and looking forward to some more song diversity later on. Just seems really solid so far, looking forward to more. |

Pretty impressed by the concept, music was also pretty good. also--just curious--what's the significance of Okiayu voicing him? is he a favorite of urs or something |
| Only one episode in, and this anime has already made me chuckle more times than the entire first season of Konosuba did. This anime is off to a great start. |
 |
| Amazing first episode. |
My doctor has always told me to smoke. He even explains himself: “Smoke, my friend. Otherwise someone else will smoke in your place.” |
Ryuseishun said: The first time PA Works is doing a manga adaptation and so far it looks good. I like the humor and the early character dynamics, though it’s too early to judge how well it’ll turn out. I really like how Eiko is depicted as a believable female character and how nicely animated her singing and dancing were. Kongming seems like a really nice guy and a befitting companion despite his initial odd impressions with this new setting he’s been placed in. Overall a pretty nice premiere. Hopefully this can be as fun as Shirobako and Hanasaku Iroha or at least give me the same sort of feelings and experience as when I watched the aforementioned two. Actually, they animated Shiroi Suna no Aquatope last summer. This isn't their first. |

Oh, you're right. I thought I previously read somewhere that it was based on a manga adaptation. That's my bad. |

|
| I'm dropping it, I don't find this show in any way worth my time |
| Zhuge Liang, a Chinese strategist reborn into the modern Japan... And automatically fluent in Japanese. Hahaha, well it's just a normal first episode. Watching this because I'm a fan of Dynasty warriors. |
 |
| I laughed and cried. I loved this show already!! Definitely not one to sleep on this spring!!! |

| I'm in! The owner being a total three kingdoms otaku sold me, looking forward to some more great comedy |

Of course no one was going to be on your side I apologize for being me, and saying something that I do just for the sake convenience. I understand why each and every one of you trying to convince me to give up the way I think, for some reason. But I just fail to understand is: why do you care so much about it? I bet you're the kind of person who doesn't bother to distinguish between red apples and green apples—even though sweet or sour is clearly a significant difference—and just calls them both apples. I'm so angry with how you live your life smh |
| Solid first episode, this! Certainly didn't expect the owner to be a "The Three Kingdoms" otaku, those moments were pretty fun. He's going to be one of the best characters from the season, for sure. Interactions between the two main MC have been pretty lively and fun to keep up with as well. I wonder how long it'll take her to be convinced of his identity, lol. Animation so far seems good and the music, which of course is perhaps the most important feature of the show, has been excellent so far. Definitely going to be an interesting show to keep up with, I reckon. It's pretty nice to see that 96neko-san being the singing voice of Eiko-san. I remember hearing a few of her covers from HoneyWorks, and liking it quite a bit. Even now, some of the songs really do carry a punch. ED theme being "Kibun Joujou" reminds me of D4DJ. |

| Fist episode is actually good. PA Works really did a good job on both visually and the adaptation on this first episode, hopefully they will be consistent with the adaptation until the end. And it's kinda nice hearing Eiko sing. |
