Paripi Koumei Review

Overall Rating 7.0 out of 10 - Overall good show that is carried well by Kou Mei (Kong Ming) character. 

I recommend watching.

Kong Ming is a really awesome person who carries this otherwise mediocre show to the level of good.

The way he reacts to things and how people react to him is really cool.

Various stratagems and tricks he uses to get his way and promote Eiko are really ingenious. He is not as smart as Lelouch or creative like Kaiji, but he is smart and creative enough to make it worthwhile to watch. Kong Ming can even promote even someone like Eiko to a celebrity.

Even great generals needed assistant tacticians, that is why Lelouch recruited Toudou and 4 Holy Swords for example.

The rest of the show is mostly about world of aspiring musicians who lament their poor fortunes. It is realistic enough to not scream nonsense at you and rather insightful to follow. Kabetaijin and Nanami are sympathetic, Eiko is mixed bag.

In fact, after the Kong Ming himself, lethargic and disillusioned Nanami was probably the other best thing of the show. That is the kind of sad that appeals to me. So, I did not like it when she got back into her old lively self at the end of the episode 12. Also, her hair is good in both plain and twin tail versions, but her Azalea consume is much better without the mask. Though I can see that mask is being used as a metaphor for her hiding her true self.

Overall, I would recommend it to anyone. Kong Ming definitely carries this show and Nanami is a good bonus.
