| This series is the surprise of the season, great anime. P.S. Eiko is love, totally cute and adorable waifu. |
| I didn't think I would like this series so much, but I have to admit the last part with Azalea was fantastic, it was really good seeing both Eiko and Nanami grow through this arc. I really liked Koumei's character, and I regret a bit that the rap part took so much place in this anime, otherwise it would have been fantastic, but that is just personal taste. I would very much watch a second season if there ever is one. |
 |
| Nottt gonna lie😭 eiko's dreamer was kinda underwhelming for me, and i kinda wish they utalized kabe more like, maybe a rap+singing song like most kpop group stuff?? most of her other performances are better to me but i absolutely loved the "real azalea". even the pd/ceo got a redemption good on him this was such a fun show to watch im so so gonna miss it : ( good work to all the ones who worked on this!! |
| Im glad Eiko got through to Nanami and rest of Azalea to not give up on actually making music they like. I did have a feeling the producer used to be a musician but still was an interesting little surprise but a better one if Nanami asked him to do be featured on a few songs so he gets to finally have fun again too hahah. I feel the show while it has it’s flaws it’s hard for me to give it just an 8 since it’s at least an 8.5 and even in my state where I find myself giving lower scores than I did in the past I found the show to be quite compelling constantly making me want more after every episode. Already I want a season two of this and feel I couldnt wait for it. If it doesnt get one I may drop the score a point since it doesnt feel like enough as is without having to turn to the manga. Another plus is Eiko has some nice drip throughout hah Only thing the show failed hard for me is making me remember Chinese history. Too much to recall without being familiar with it as is especially if it is the kind of stuff that sounds embellished and that it only loosely relates to the series plots. |

| It's a very fun series with likeable characters and a few touching moments, I liked it a lot. 8/10 |
 |
| I still don't know how Kongming knew Azalea was going to do a secret concert three days before the deadline But yeah, this episode was way more unrealistic than usual, and it ended up getting such a clichéd happy end... I didn't like it. |
| What a wild ride. When I first read what this was about, I had NO IDEA what I was getting myself into. Enjoyed my time all the way through with it. 9 from me. It was filled with over the top fun, comedy, amazing music, a great cast of characters, looked spectacular and was overall incredibly wholesome. Show was like a rollercoaster. It started off really strong, slowed down midway to climb that peak and then dropped us down back for another loop that was the finale. Hope we'll get a S2! |
Touch me, you filthy casual~ |
| Loved the episode! The song did not betray the hype, thought on rewatch I realized they had already featured in episodes past (albeit either with vocals only, or with only the music) Reborn Azalea's perfomance was awesome as well. Gave me Girls Dead Monster vibes listening to them though. Was wondering who that might be. And I refuse to accept that. The only dad (and mom) that Eiko has is Owner Kobayashi. Those that jumped ship when Eiko needed them most do not deserve such honors. |
| Most pleasant surprise of the season. 8.5/10 |
| anyone knows when is the next manga chapter gonna be released? is it monthly? |
 |
| This was a really fun anime of this season. Personally I find the songs pretty average, it's not that striking to me but all the episodes were enjoyable all because of Kongming. The OP is the best part of this anime. I hope it gets a second season soon. Overall 7/10. |
| Eiko's song was great. Koumei's strategy was awesome! I still prefer Azalea's over Eiko. Their songs are my genre. I feel like a traitor. |
If you are going to disagree with me, don't bother talking to me. I will seriously hurt you! |
| Perfect ending, they got the 100.000k likes and despite Azalea's losing they fixed up the issue inside the group and especially with the manager, didn't expect him to really have good intentions to never let them do the mistakes he did when he was younger and had a group as well, now let's hope for a 2nd season, that was really good! |
 |
| This Anime is so amazing, The premise sounds absolutely insane but I'm genuinely so surprised how good this Anime is. I love the growth all the characters go through. I'm so happy the girls in Azalea finally get to have a say in what they perform. and the fact that now they can actually perform! Instead of lip syncing and dancing in costumes they hate. Overall this was a great series and I genuinely hope it gets a second season so we can see Eiko perform at summer sonia and continue to climb and get more recognized. 8/10 |
 |
| Loved this anime, was solid throughout. A rare occurrence these days |
 |
| Kinda mid but pretty enjoyable 7.5/10 but I'll round up for now |
IF YOU HAVEN'T WATCHED ODDTAXI OR SAIKI K I'LL BONK YOU IN THE HEAD |
| Enjoyed this story till near the point of end when both sides tries to accumulate the Likes count, that part went predictable, unconvincing and no smart twist, only plot armor moment which is abit of let down. And Eiko's song isn't coming as strong and realistic to me but whatever, it is a good enough for the watch. Art, animation and audio quality are top notch, hope to see this kind of quality productions again. |
| Nice seeing Kongming help out the reborn Azalea group after using their publicity stunt to make Eiko more popular. |
 |
| This anime was an unexpected hit for me. Not the best thing that I watched this season but close (I rated it an 8 out of 10). I went into it expecting it to be nothing much but in the end was very surprised how much I liked it. It started out a bit slow in the first couple of episodes but picked up a lot of steam when more characters got introduced. |
 |
| That Azalea producer younger days band is a reference to Malice Mizer, isn't it? Lol |

| That was disappointing. It definitely wasn't a bad anime and the premise was initially pretty interesting, but I felt like a lot of the plot beats were things I'd seen done better in other anime. The whole 'finding your own sound' arc, for instance, features in pretty much every music anime ever; it's so overdone at this point. Plus, the music wasn't really all that interesting - a lot of it was pretty generic-sounding J-pop to me. Again, it wasn't bad music, but much like this anime I was hoping for something a bit more unique. Azalea's Underworld was the only thing that really came close, but it seems 'playing the music you want to play' means dropping that for boring rock, unfortunately. |
 |
| I thought the point of Kabetajin was to do a collabo with Eiko on her song. Any rapper could've angered the audience. Seems like a waste. still I enjoyed it. 8/10 |
| Eyy feels bad to forgetting this anime at its peak last season. Neko really sounds great there, and Kaede acting as Eiko, really bring such a good mood. But oh well, glad though that both of them manage to go to Summer Sonia. Especially to Kuon that still got a happy ending route with her bandmate and producer. Koumei, really... I may be feeling greedy, when the chance kinda off the chart. But, I'll gladly accept the continuation, if there's any. Paripi Koumei, surely one of the most unexpected show I've ever seen, in my entirely anime watching. Easy 8/10 |

| Never been in love with a show this hard in forever. It's so ridiculous and silly in the best way possible and the best part about it is that there's actually some thought put into an otherwise really absurd premise that story elements you wouldn't expect to get mixed together could actually work. Like who would've thought a renowned tactician from Chinese history getting isekai'ed to modern earth to help a young artist make it through the music industry would turn out to be this good lmao. Loved the story between a promising young star backed by people who genuinely care about her and another talented artist who's sold out to corporate greed in hopes of attaining success. Things obviously aren't as easy as they make it out to be in the show but it was still good regardless. Characters are great especially my boy Kongming who's always giving out inspiring speeches to uplift everyone. Comedy on point and most importantly good music! The opening is an instant classic. Remaking an old catchy europop song was all part of Kongming's plan to make you watch the show. The "I'm still alive today" song is also really good. I'm entranced each time Eiko and Nanami sings it. "Dreamers" reminds me so much of Namie Amuro specifically her song "Hero" that's why I love it so much and it also fits Eiko a lot. One major flaw with the show is making us believe "Underworld" doesn't bang hard just cause it's sung by a manufactured idol band. One of the most uniquely amazing shows I've seen in a while. Hoping for a second season to be greenlit. 8/10 |
 |
| Nice final ... but .... insufficient!!! Seeing how it was developing, I had higher hopes for this last episode, but unfortunately I was disappointed. :( Nice anime series, above average, but could have been so much better! 7/10 |
| I finally managed to finish this gem. I was watching it weekly but decided to binge the rest when it finished but never got around to it. Really solid ending. I like how its like just the beginning of her stardom journey. Shame we probably won't have a second season plus this wouldn't be the same in manga form cause a music series without music is pretty depressing. Coming back to this anime and hearing that OP again I couldn't help but dance along to it. The music in this has been pretty solid throughout (Even if theres wasnt as much music as say Carol & Tuesday). Eiko & Kongming are so charismatic and lovable. We need more of this series. The series in general has such a charm to it and the colourfulness/vibe of the series really makes it stand out. Its the most 'make you want to dance' type of music anime I've watched to date. |

| Yuritopia FTW!!!!!!!!! BANZAI TO YURI !!!!!!!!!!!! |
| very great way to end the series, it was very fun to watch, Azalea finally showed their true selves to the public and EIKO made it to Summer Sonia |
| Kongming! Wow, what an unexpectedly fun watch and a breath of fresh air. The music is just terrific too. Don't even know how many times I've listened to the OP now. And the ED makes you feel good ha. I've only begun listening to the OST and it's utterly fantastic. I hope Eiko and Nanami will sing together again someday. Party people! |
