belka1213 said: I'm just a huge Fate fan and I have a very good memory for voice actors that have been anywhere near F/GO. So recognizing familiar voices is kind of a game for me in of itself, in this case I know that actor was also the voice of Vlad/Ceasar/Lancelot in Fate franchise.A2ZOMG said: i mean in name zhuge liang is a playable character, but we all know it's just waver.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. also--just curious--what's the significance of Okiayu voicing him? is he a favorite of urs or something In a way it's all connected sorta lol. |

| Oh wow, I didn't think I would like it this much but it was a great first episode! I'm already invested in the story and I like the characters a lot! Hope it won't disappoint! |
 |
| Holy lord I can't believe I was going to pass on this anime. Thank god I didn't because episode 1 was AMAZING!!!! Freaking loved this so much. Funny as hell and very entertaining! |

| Ooh, this was really fun to watch. Swift pacing, especially in the first half really helped in setting up properly. Out of all the isekai this season, this was easily the one with the best start. Just like most of their works, PA Works have a put a lot of effort into this and it clearly shows especially in the scene around the mid-part of the episode where she starts playing the guitar. Even the english lyrics was really good. |
| Oh wow this is a hidden gem. I was going into thinking "Ah its probably just gonna be one of those ok underground series" but this was really good and unique. I love the fact the MC is a Chinese general. I've watched hundreds of anime and as far as I can recall I've never seen an MC like this and its really refreshing. Loved that scene where the person was ordering and he just immediately put the drink on the table without looking haha. The music is amazing as well. Which is pretty important for a music-focused anime. Can't wait to see how this goes. I already love the setting, characters, music etc so I'm looking forward to seeing more. |

A2ZOMG said: also--just curious--what's the significance of Okiayu voicing him? Well this has nothing to do with me but if you're curious about Okiayu's other roles, he voiced Sima Yi (Zhuge Liang/Kongming's rival) and Sima Shi in Dynasty Warriors games lol. |
| Thank you random user who recommended this. I may have nearly missed out on this title that may be flying under the radar, and by PA Works no less. |

| What the hell? How dare this Anime be this good XD I thought it was just gonna be a random comedy Anime with an odd concept. Glad I gave it a watch cause it's now going to my weekly list. My only nitpick so far is that the songs Eiko sings have really awkward lyrics. I know that's how most of our beloved Anime themes are but, her music is a big part of the story. Wish they could've just used Japanese language music to make it feel more genuine. But other than that, I'm liking it so far. Looking forward to how it fares. |

| Didn't expect a show I've never heard about to be so good, can't wait for more. |
 |
| What’s this? A relatively original anime with clever writing and good production? In this day and age? Best believe I’m watching it. |
| As Dynasty Warriors (game about three kingdom) player since DW5, I really like this show |
| That was amazing. One of the best anime I've watched in a while. |
| It took me a while to start the anime but here I am. And I must say, I'm quite moved by it. Eiko and Kongming's dynamic is just spectaculair. I love Kongming's reactions to the modern world and how he is moved by the music of the modern era. Well, both are very different from each other but they're a golden duo together. I love the boss too, his knowlegde of the Three Kingdoms was unexpected but he's a nerd too xD. |

| I never heard of this anime, but I heard the banger OP on reddit/youtube and after I found out it's called "YA BOI KONGMING" I HAD to check it out. I really did not expect that I would cry, laugh and smile so much! I like the premise, there's just something so fun about a historical character experiencing the modern world lol. I like Eiko too - the music was also good, shoutout to the singer! Great production overall. I was very pleasantly surprised, and I have high hopes for Ya Boi Kongming! :) |

| It must be really awesome for people into the three kingdoms stuff, I don't know shit about it so I guess I'm missing out most of the fun |
| if there really is a next life, I hope the next life Kong Ming found after he died was as happy as this one. |
| Reverse isekai reincarnation xD why not especially that it is about music but I'm not convinced yet, it was more like OK tier kind of 1st episode, and lol I remember this ED in D4DJ xD |
 |
| i'm watching this because of Mother's Basement "The BEST Anime of Spring 2022" video. Oh boy he didn't lie, Ya Boy Kongming was FIRE!!! and yes i kinda like Eiko VA "Kaede Hondo" as well, i'm amazed by her singing. Manager was Three Kingdom Otaku and was voice by Kazuma/Gabiru "Jun Fukushima" Tensei + Idol? i'm hooked.. wait a minute, is this P.A. Works first Manga Adaptation? wow |
 |
| That was great, God bless the OP, I just got it recommended on youtube and had to give the show a try, Eiko is a cutie, it got super serious at the end with her backstory and the Owner, such a strong look but he is surprisingly caring and a complete history Otaku. |
| Amazing first episode!!! I already liked Zhu, Eiko and Boss. We are already part of Eiko army....fanclub. |
| I totally get the boss' enthusiasm, too relatable xD Zhuge Liang is such a cool guy, I love him already Wow 96neko was the one singing huh, she's so great as always! So angelic! Hondo Kaede voicing Eiko is great too |
"Signature removed"   |
| this will be the best seasonal isekai |
| DAMN, the musics are certified bangers especially the English ones, they nailed it! Visuals are nice, and its so fun to watch from someone entering in a world 1800 years later, reacting and questioning about things. I already liked this anime. I had zero procrastination so far, and enjoyed every moment of it. |

| just watched this, not a fan of idol-ish anime but, this one seem nice. maybe cater to my #IsekaiTrashman spirit, LOL. or maybe due to viral opening song  --- so, all the singing were not done by Eiko's VA right?   |
| Lol the premise is so stupid but way better than expected. |
 |
| YouTube recommended me the opening and I liked it so I decided to watch it. That was a good decision. |
If you are going to disagree with me, don't bother talking to me. I will seriously hurt you! |
| This is one of the best openers I've seen in my entire life, what the fuck. |
 |
| Never I would think somebody would try to combine 3 Kingdoms and Hiphop together. Also missing "why is there small people on the box?" comedy gold. Lol |
| FIRE OP brought me here! I'm in love with Eiko. Probably my "best girl of the season" right there. It's sad how she almost killed herself though... The manager seems like a really cool dude. Our main, Kongming is funny too. "I'm in hell" - Saying with a smile in modern Japan xD |
| Anime are good at having a wacky premise and absolutely pulling it off. I enjoyed this first episode a lot. It's called an Isekai or even reverse Isekai. Not that I'm surprised. |
| You're a louse, Roger Smith. - R. Dorothy Wayneright This is my fight! No Senpai, this is our fight! - Kojou Akatsuki & Yukina Himeragi  |
| So it's going to be about music, this should be interesting. I quite liked the first chapter, it was fun. Kongming is nice and Eiko is very pretty. Very good. Also, the ending is "Feeling Good", I recognized it from D4DJ. this is very good this version. |
| I don't care about idol stuff but the reverse Isekai stuff is hilarious |

| Its not too often that anime grab me in the first episode but i found myself loving this pilot. As a fan of the Dynasty Warriors games its really amusing to see Zhuge Liang navigate and learn about the modern world. What i really appreciate from this first episode though was that it gave stuff room to breathe. There was humor but it didnt feel forced, and for the most part it wasnt used to deflect from the more mellow moments such as when Kongming learned the fate of Shu and when Eiko shared her fear that she's not good enough for the one thing that sparks her life. The music sounds great as well and its touching how Kongming seems to appreciate the lyrics of Eiko's songs. My hope is that this anime turns out to continue to be hilarious but also wholesome with a message of hope. I reckon ill enjoy the show either way because of my familiarity with the character but im really pulling for the show to elevate things to that level. |
