Meanwhile, the only reason I even found out about this is because of Zhuge Liang Memes in the Fate Community How fitting is it though that we came for Zhuge Liang and stayed for Eiko?
Really. At first, as a big fam of Zhuge Liang, I thought this was a stupid anime trying to take advantage of his fame. But as soon as I watch the first 2 episodes.... I am wandering in front of the bathroom door.
To be honest, it strikes me rather more like 80's europop, if you ask me. Had to think immediately of "Modern Talking" and started listening to "cheri cheri lady" after that.
i love how this mange is about Zhuge liang, a military strategist from the third century being "isekai'd" into the future, becoming the manager of a small yet talented singer, learning modern day economics and marketing, adapting his strategist mind into said disciplines to aid his singer to grow both as a person and as a talent, and being a bartender in his off-days. the concept is so dumb but i love it. like... If Cleopatra became a Vtuber's advisor and manager. that's so fun
This show is FANTASTIC and the OP is such a good example of why. It's unique, hilarious and full of heart. This is already my anime of the season, completely unexpectedly!
HIDIVE needs to market itself better. If OPs and EDs were uploaded sooner and more clips posted, it would definitely grow. Less than 10k subs to this channel is very low.
Honestly, they're small because their content is still all over the place. It's Sentai's in-house streaming service. They were content accepting that it was a failure competing against two other anime-only services but now that those consolidated, they're trying again. And, more importantly, they are licensing far fewer of the shows they make to Hulu, Netflix, and Crunchyroll. Presumably, they don't really care about what happens over the next couple years because they see their main value driver being what happens when they get all their content back.
This series so far has easily surpassed my expectations. It's definitely one of the more surprisingly good anime shows that have come out so far this year.
@@johnrupesh4535 Queen Bee Fire, Dororo OP. I don't have much time to watch anime so I only knew few OP, haven't heard op has this kind of synergy since. it's either that or the POLARIS "Blue Encount".
This song has such an 80s sound, and I absolutely love it. Also, I hope all the music artists in this anime team up to form a Linkin Park style band. That'd be epic.
@@nalia20111 From the trailer we see a golden voice pop singer, a cool girl rocker, and a rapper. Sounds like a recipe for a killer alternative rock band.
If you thought this OP was a banger (which it is) check out the full version, it's gotta pretty dope rap segment and a killer guitar solo near the end.
It's an exceedingly small detail compared to all the other stuff going on, but I appreciate how the group shots gradually feature more and more characters.
First episode and the OP grabbed hold and did not let go. Fantastic OP and a fantastic anime. The animation and writing were consistently wonderful for the whole 12 episodes and I loved the characters. The music was really good and the English in the singing didn't distract, it sounded good. They have a high target to aim for if they get a second season, and I'm so in the bag for it. 96/100 will watch again.
I'm far from being an otaku and not even an occasional anime enjoyer but this song got a firm hold on my brain so I decided to watch the video. Well, now I'm definitely gonna watch the whole show. Great work!
It's amazing that this has been created. It's hard to understand how a story like this was ever made and it being good too. One of my favorite in recent times.
I'm not really a city guy, but just watching this opening makes me want to visit Tokyo again! Hell, it even makes me want to check out a club or two and I usually hate loud places like that. That's the power of this OP!
Words cannot describe how much I love this show. It made me fall in love with anime all over again. Everyone should give it a try if they haven't already.
This show surprised me so much, I never expected such a insane premise to be so great! To everyone pondering, give this show a chance, it's really good.
only Japan could make an animated show about a long-dead chinese general coming back to life in modern day tokyo to help a girl become a great singer using war strategies he used in battle and make it one of the best slice of life anime out there.
@@RtXyuFgjiDF2-6 Are you really gatekeeping terminology here? I know the differance I referred to this as Isekai, Because, while yes, This is technically reincarnation due to the fact that this is the same world he came from. It may as well be a different world since thousand years makes a serious difference. How about you learn basic internet decency and not to jump on people over an almost year old comment that does not effect you at all.
Is it weird that I hope to become famous enough for my name to endure the centuries until some mangaka or anime studio gets the bright idea to turn me into an anime girl?
96neko/Kuroneko (yes, the utaite with insane vocal range and a silky smooth voice) and kaede hondo are amazing as Eiko's singing and speaking voice (respectively).
As a person who has studied Chinese History (pain in the ass to study btw), I need both bleach and more of this anime. I have never been more conflicted in my entire life.
I saw this video in my recommendations so I clicked it and became so curious that I watched the whole show. I thought it was great; the premise reminds me a bit of Saint Young Men. Even if you have a cursory grasp on the historical figure (or aren't at all familiar) it fills you in on everything you need to know and doesn't leave you behind, though I'm sure people with strong knowledge of the Three Kingdoms era can appreciate it a bit more. Overall, I had a great time.
That moment when the OP alone makes everyone want to give a show a chance.
If the show is an odd concept, have a banger OP.
Little did you know it was Kongming's plan he made this op to draw us in while eiko kept us watching with her singing just like in episode 2
Nah, son. Zhuge Liang made me want to give this show a chance.
Meanwhile, the only reason I even found out about this is because of Zhuge Liang Memes in the Fate Community

Anime about a reincarnated Chinese general with a Japanese cover of a Hungarian song as the OP.

It just the best
Whats the hungarian version?

It's like the animators just said "Were gonna revive the mid-2000s all around. Bring back the anime dance! Bring back weird techno pop!"
And they made the right call
Even the car looks like it's from mid-2000s
I don't know why the anime dance things went away to begin with. ALL OF THOSE dances made the shows famous.
@@OmegaDez it probably just became way too overdone, so now that anime's have moved away from that it's refreshing to see them again i guess

@@kylecheng3710 dota too..
but apart from all these..we can easily agree it's a total banger and op of the season
I'm not sure if it beats out Spy X Fam for me, but it is definitely top tier.

@@billysensei1375 Easily
One of the most ridiculous and far-fetched concepts ever for a manga and anime series, but somehow it just works!
all works out when the execution is good :)
Most of the GOAT Anime are as you described.
Anime done right
Read that last part in Todd Howard voice 😅
@@xil3ntkha0s I have no idea who that is.
This is why a good opening is very important for a show cause it makes people give the show the chance to impress them

More like 90s i think

Totally!!!
The only opening that I never skipped.
impossible to skip
The song that rent free in my head. *SEND HELP*
Tskr!
Same victim here
*THERE IS NO HELP ONLY THE SONG*
I’m so glad I watch Gigguks videos. This op is a banger.
Omg same that's how I found it lmao
this whole show felt like a I passed out at 3 am history nerd anime binge music show. and I am so glad it really exists.
The song is Chikichiki Banban by Queendom for anyone looking!
No. Its Bulikirály. Its from hungary.
Absolute banger, gonna have to watch the show now
Edit: watched it, show is an absolute banger just as much as the OP is
No season 2
I can confirm the anime is worth watching.
I just started the manga two days ago. I highly recommend it, with this playing every so often on your preferred listening format.
Something about an old man from ancient China partying with a rapper and a pop singer is inherently funny
The end of June can't come soon enough...
FYI, this version and a FULL VERSION of this song need to be on that OST.
July. June is for the OST.
As someone who loves history, I was totally down for this show when it came out. The OP was icing on the cake for me
Best song of the season

Wokeup at 3 am and this song started to randomly play on my brain. 1h latter I fell asleep again.
Damn it.
But is cool 👍
I had no idea this OP was based off a Hungarian song, very interesting and cool.
Why can I not stop watching this? I haven’t even watched the anime…yet.
HIDive, you just made a great choice on licensing this anime for this season. Some people resubscribe because of Koumei.
Nostalgic beat, those unrealized dreams. Awesome series.
I feel like I should be on a DDR machine when I hear this song.
I'm far from being an otaku and not even an occasional anime enjoyer but this song got a firm hold on my brain so I decided to watch the video.
Well, now I'm definitely gonna watch the whole show. Great work!
Song's got that 90s opening vibe to it!
Its hungarian fyi
In light novel terms:
"That time an ancient chinese warlord appeared in front of me , so I used him to market my rap career "
This may just be the best anime opening of 2022. Been listening to this song daily!
Blasting this OP with windows down while cruising down the road
超好聽💓
Rick roll intro vibes
Agreed
Hahaha, they actually did it and i fell for it
Help! I have been here for a week now....
Im just in episode 4 and I adore this show
BUT
It reminds me so much of Hikaru No Go and if its gonna have the same ending Im gonna cry so much
It's amazing that this has been created. It's hard to understand how a story like this was ever made and it being good too. One of my favorite in recent times.
Well the op is great
This is adding to one of my gym tracks. Its like listening again to Eurobeat.
I'm not really a city guy, but just watching this opening makes me want to visit Tokyo again! Hell, it even makes me want to check out a club or two and I usually hate loud places like that. That's the power of this OP!
One of The Unskippable anime opening in this past few years.
I found this a couple days ago, now I've watched it more than 8 times today. I can't stop! HELP ME!!!
easy I listened to this about 50 times already : )
Played about 1500 times with over 12 different remixes and 3 by a club dj
Currently my favorite streaming platform for anime. Keep it up Sentai Filmworks!
I don’t think you should skip this opening. It’s catchy and has quite the beat. Looooove iiiit!

What a legendary opening
This is such an earworm i love it
I like this music.... 💕
I think the real Kongming would jam out to this.
Also, one of the greatest aspects of this show is how Kongming isn't a "fish out of water" character.
Started the manga then saw it was available as an anime and now there is a IRL drama...wow
One of the best Opening songs this year 🥵🔥✨
This show was so weird and such a fun time
Thank you Sentai aka amc for providing us so good anime these last few seasons hopefully fall hits even harder
I can listen to this all day
only Japan could make an animated show about a long-dead chinese general coming back to life in modern day tokyo to help a girl become a great singer using war strategies he used in battle and make it one of the best slice of life anime out there.
Japan can do anything lol
this anime deserved another season. it was good and the opening is fire
Lol I just finished reading the romance of the three kingdoms this is awesome
Best Op for a hidden gem anime
Super !!!
This was the reason I got hooked on YBK.
Seriously I first see the op of this show reccomended by TH-cam and then I gave it a try and the show was amazing
Kongming is Schmooving
Never change Japan...
Never ever change...
This is.... beauty!
This is the first anime where I never skipped the intro :D
They : Skip the intro bro
.
Me: Not this one 🎶 🎶 🎶
I can't wait to get my hands on the OST for this show.

P.A works really knocking it out of the park with this Anime.
