| Everyday seems like a new challenge for Eiko so she should be more prepared in the future, like for a festival this episode. Of course, that also draws more competition. I like how confident Kongming is though, seemingly trusting Eiko to be the star no matter what happens. |
 |
| Another day, another successful event from Eiko. Major label debut next??! OOOOOOHHH...... It's Yoyogi Park. The main stage is actually the same one from Love Live Superstar ep.3. 🙂 |
何それ？意味分かんない  |
| What a emotional episode!! Our man Kongming continued to assisst Eiko with another brilliant stratagem "From Nothing, Something". It also showed his regret to his old soldiers who sacrified themself in battlefield to ensure the safety of the civilians. |
Chad kongming best boy, manager, mentor, dad this spring 🔥🔥🔥 |
| Another great episode. I love how they made Kongming feel serious yet light hearted at the same time. He's absurdly believable both as a historical figure and as a man in the situation he's in while still being comedic and wholesome and not overly pretentious, overall just a very likeable character even if you're unfamiliar with his strategies. Can't wait for what surprises he has prepared for us next. |

| Owner every episode looks like he is transforming in those eccentric producer type, with his looks, like this episode got great overcoat, and to double down got a pet rabbit, to pet while he talks. |
 |
| Kongming this episode be like - Just as Planned! He ended up regret his past action however he tried to learn from mistakes want to use his second chance to enjoy the life. Good episode overall 5/5 All songs in this show are Bop! |
 |
| What a strategist, I was wondering why he has faking the technical issues. Also, the life lessons, I'm really digging this so far. Hopefully it stays that way 'cause it's so fun. |

 I love this show. The hidden gem of this season |
 |
| I always love when a show made me searching for something I never heard before. Yes, I search for 36 stratagems after watching this episode. |
| Eiko's doing great with all she help she gets from Kongming who's pretty confident in himself. Anyway, seems like she's reaching higher stages from now on. |
   “You yourself have to change first, or nothing will change for you!” ' |
| Great episode. I liked Kongmings fashion change and his "It's party time" line. I really thought we would see him get up on the stage and start DJ:ing like in the opening but I'm guessing that'll come at a later date. 8/10 |
| Another banging episode as Ya Boy Kongming books another gig for Eiko at a local festival, but since she's a first time performer she has to perform on a small stage adjacent to the main stage with a popular act Jet Jacket performing at the same time. Kongming decided to advantage of the groups vocal issues by pretending to Eiko's stage had sound issues so that Jet Jacket can let their guard down and do a light performance. Kongming showed why he's called the Sleeping Dragon by using one of the 36 stratagems of Creating Something from Nothing by having Eiko come out of nowhere during Jet Jacket's performance. |
 |
| Great episode! Kongming's strategies really are amazing and he got tons of people to check out Eiko's singing on her small stage xD. He showed some mercy to the singer of the other rival band by giving the lead singer the best throat medicine ever lol. Looking forward to the next episode! |
| AISHITERU...REM! |
| I love how they tied the strategies to events in the past. Also appreciated Kongming sharing a drink with the fans in order to make up for his past regrets. Looks like they're going to be selected for something big. |
 |
| Is not that cheap to animated the performance or dance, unless this is idol anime. |
 |
| I really want the full version of the OP to drop soon! From the club to the festival. This is reminding me of Beck. Spots a girl in a Qipao "are you one of my people?" lol. People think he's a cosplayer when they meet him for the first time. In this episode, the owner is starting to get the hint he's not simply a hardcore R3K fan, but the real Zhuge Liang. He regrets not having one last drink before the soldiers went to battle. In this era, he can. Kongming did more than just buy star sunglasses in that record shop. He was conducting research on Eiko's competition at the festival. Right down to every detail like the band's biggest hit being so heavy on the vocals. "Creating something from nothing", the moment he pretended there was an equipment issue was when the bandleader visited their stage and when Eiko offered to help sort it out, he diverted her attention to warming up. Still, he showed humility to the band leader. As they said themselves, they started out at that festival on the same stage Eiko did years back. |

 Novels I have read/am reading pending approval: since November 10 2022 |
| Yes, of course he is great since he's one of the great strategist in the past. Will he met someone great as him soon? A rival that great as Sima Yi is. Eiko keep singing english, and her clothes are always the same, hope she actually using a different outfit soon. |
 |
| That old man at the end was the hippest and dandiest chap ever seen in the history of TV. |
| Another success for Eiko-chan!! Koumei-san strategy is always the best. Loving this show more and more. |
| Oppai check! 111 cm: Hancock 110 cm: Zoro 100 cm: Robin |
| I've been really liking this series. Should easily be a top 4 show of the season if it continues. Eiko's performances and songs have been nice and like last time, opening is still incredible. I'm looking forward to seeing how things go from there |
 |
| 3 episodes in and I can already say this show has probably the strongest start of all "new" anime this season. That said, another great episode. Eiko did wonderful once again and having Kongming reflecting on past regrets to deepen his character was also a nice addition. |
| deefinitely my fav ep so far. kongming being able to enjoy himself with the others, eiko's performance and what led them to that, etc im a bit concerned with the "eiko fan" in a green tracksuit but i hope it doesn't go the way im imagining it'll go |
| A nice little new episode segment here showed once again how great Koumei strategy while preparing all the possibilities in order to achieve success for his new master, Eiko. Even he already prepare another plan, if the location was not on that desserted area near Jet Jacket stage. Also a good characterization moment for a lost three kingdom tactician when he reflecting his regret by not attending the little drinking party with his sacrificial troopers, considering it all as a lesson toward a better future, with Eiko. Then, he also not forget to be more humanized when facing the enemy in front, especially in the peaceful time like that. If not then, say goodbye for the head of those trio indie band, said Kongming xd... Very well, and lets see whats the deal with that flashy old man which also the part of Koumei plan at those festival. Yare yare... |
 Hide and seek is the best offline games on this fatamorgana-called-world-thing. Please comment nicely. I am newbie here. I'm level  on mal-badges. View my badges  |
| We only 3 episode in, but I assure you that I already listen to the OP hundreds time already. A catchy banger OP of the season. Chan Chan Ai Chiki Chiki Bang Bang |
| This anime is just too gud and keeps getting better |

uncleqrow said: 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)? Aside from that great EP as always.... PS: I'm watching through Bilibili, which as we may all know, may had some severe translation errors here and there. In this EP Koumei mentioned "36 Stratagems" and the Owner immediately replied "Not Sun Ce's?". Was this a mistranslation from Sun Tzu or were they actually talking about Sun Ce? I mean Sun Ce is not a bad leader, but he's deffinitely nowhere near his ancestor Sun Tzu's level (the Sun family of Wu faction claims that they were the decendants of Sun Tzu). Also, Koumei also mentioned that Guan Yu kneeled to Zhang Liao. Was this also a mistranslation for Guan Yu kneeled FOR Zhang Liao? As Guan Yu, and his brother Zhang Fei, was actually kneeled in front of Cao Cao to spare Zhang Liao, who was a former officer under Lu Bu, after the Battle of Xiapi. I think it was a slight reference to Sun Tzu because the 36 Stratagems were often compared to Sun Tzu's Art of War. The Sun Ce line was supposed to be a reference to when he had the Imperial Seal at one point which was briefly mentioned by Koumei. I don't recall the part where Guan Yu was kneeling for Zhang Liao. |

| This show is the first success of the season of the 3-episode rule, it just continues to bang. Eiko has more followers since her first small stage gig, and Kongming is already onto the next as per his stratagem personality. Strangely coinciding with a girl in her Qipao, haha I get what Kongming's going for. The Yoyogi Arts Festival is a chance for Kongming to lure audience onto the stage for first-timers put on an abandoned wayside, even more for another group (Jet Jacket) to take notice and started thwarting their chances of success, the same way they did before when they started. Just like before, Kongming comes with a stratagem: the 36 Stratagems (that's different from Sun Ce's Art of War) to use Jet Jacket's weaknesses, combined with the location to create to best possible scenario. Even Kongming is well-versed in psychological warfare, and Jet Jacket's problems are solved with Kongming's drinks lols, the Will of Heaven favours Eiko true enough, and douse it with drinks as what they did back in the Three Kingdoms. The big fish has come, and this has only one direction: UP! Kongming's such a cunning gentleman, and this is only going to get better as a wonderful and special adaptation. |

There's Wise Kongming  And then there's fanboy Kongming :D  |
  |
| Man, I love this show. Another great episode! I like that we get to see glimpses of Kongming's past. The show is fun as hell, but there's also some underlying heavy stuff there. Eiko's so adorable and precious, I hope we get different Eiko song's soon. While I like the one she's singing now (full version when please?), some variety would be nutty. Kongming out here keeping his friends close, but enemies even closer. Really looking forward to the next episode. It's hilarious how that rabbit was just chilling with the owner for the rest of the episode lmao. |
 |
| so much fun watch this show !! also the OP is banger !! and ED pretty cool !! 9.5/10 |
| 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! |
  cryptic and Squab |
| Eiko is so cute, you just wanna cheer for her, it was so surprising to see Kongming help the other band, just imagine if he was on full battle mode, he would have probably ended their career right there lol. |
