Caption / Party Langke Zhuge Kong Ming Hi Up!
In November 2021, when "Party Wanderer Zhuge Kongming" was announced to be animated, ACGx wrote an article introducing the work "Can't Afford To Support Ah Dou Fu Love Bean, Zhuge Liang Reborn as an Agent?" 》。 Whether it is the elements of the whole story "reverse crossing + idol growth", the restoration of Zhuge Kongming, the "intellectual ceiling" of Chinese historical celebrities, and the "old tunes and new talks" that integrate the historical plot of the Three Kingdoms into the new plot, the original author's cooking power for the Culture of the Three Kingdoms and Zhuge Liang in the work is naturally concerned by domestic animation fans.
And now in April, the new fan has not all started broadcasting, the animation of "Party Langke Zhuge Kongming" has only aired 2 episodes, and some anime fans predict that it may become the "dark horse" of this season. From the perspective of animation, in addition to its well-made enough, the breakthrough in musical content is also obvious to all.
As a musical fan (Foggy), Hideko Tsukimi, who has an idol dream, impressed Zhuge Kongming with her excellent song performance in the first episode of the anime, and also impressed the anime audience. The ED "気分上々" with a strong dance style at the end of the film appeared in the 2006 "Taiko Drum Master" game, which also triggered the nostalgia of many domestic two-dimensional fans.
The animation was even more surprising to the audience in the second episode, which aired on April 8. The debut of the animated OP, with its magical and brainwashing tunes and pictures, has become a hot topic of discussion in various ACG communities for a time.

The anime's OP song is a cover of the electronic dance song "Bulikirály" (English name "Party King") released by Hungarian singer Jolly in 2014, and the original style is derived from disco, which was popular in Europe and the United States in the 1970s. Disco is characterized by the melody as the core to drive the entire music, the structure is short, the rhythm of the movement and the repetition of simple lyrics can give people a great aural impact.
Although the Disco style has long ceased to be the mainstream of the music industry, and now it is rare to see young people dancing Disco in the night show, but disco has a 4/4 beat-based, lyrics, melody and rhythm simple and repetitive style, but can be applied to any musical style of music, which is also the domestic music market by netizens called "Tu Hi" dance music creation ideas, this type of music in recent years with the popularity of short videos again popular.
"Bulikirály" is such a work with strong rhythm, and there are even foreign square dance troupes on youtube to choreograph with its background music, which is similar to "The Most Dazzling National Style" that once dominated the field of Chinese square dance. Nowadays, the song has been re-filled as an anime OP and sung by the well-known singer 96 cat, so there are also two-dimensional fans who call the OP of "Party Wanderer Zhuge Kongming" actually "the Japanese version of "The Most Dazzling National Style".
In order to completely release the magic of Disco dance music, Zhuge Kongming in the OP will not only disguise, but also shake his head and wave his shoulders with the music. The laser lights on the dance floor, the dazzling light balls, the retro elements of the 80s and 90s paper drunk gold fans, Zhuge Kongming and other characters "draw a dragon with me on the left, draw a rainbow on your right" dance action, with the brainwashing lyrics "Chitty Chitty Bang Bang" is really magical, with a strong emotional appeal, people can't help but be taken away. Such a trendy and fashionable, but also jump di, and then will sing RAP Zhuge Kongming, in addition to "Party Langke Zhuge Kongming" where will there be?
OP and ED have always been a major marketing selling point in Japanese anime. An interesting animation will have at least one OP/ED that will impress the audience, and some will even release multiple different OP/EDs during the animation broadcast. In addition to being used to explain the story setting, characters, world view and character relationships, OP/ED will sometimes greatly exceed the imagination of the audience, bringing refreshing feelings with unexpected picture styles, which can be said to be a gorgeous packaging of animation works.
For example, the joyful magical girl daily OP and "depressing" plot of "Magical Girl Circle", the cheerful and relaxed OP with the theme of "Academy Island" will be fine-tuned in each episode, hinting to the audience the gloom of the core of the work, the aesthetic OP of the harem idol Fan of "Pop And Pipi Beauty" and the positive film content called "Dung Animation" by the audience. The essence of the creation of such animation works with huge differences in the performance style of OP and positive film is actually to interpret the story in depth from different angles around the core of the work.
BeastARS uses 3 different high-quality EDs to reveal the grey wolf Regsy's ability to maintain humanity, hide beast instincts, and emotional connection with those around him. The silky "secretary dance" in the ED of "Miss Hui Ye Wants me to confess" is a successful word-of-mouth marketing of this high-quality animation. In "Spell Return", the protagonists who are saddled with the mission of exorcising the spell spirit relax themselves at ED with their daily costume style and hip-hop style music and dance, which has triggered a large number of fans' double creations. The rich and diverse OP/ED expression form is not unrelated to the richer types of animation performance, more diversified production models, and more diversified commercial types. Animation producers make full use of OP/ED to mobilize the enthusiasm of animation fans, and its role has obviously exceeded the original meaning.
The same is true of the OP of "Party Langke Zhuge Kongming". Under the sound and light, Zhuge Kongming and young men and women are crazy in the streets of Shibuya, which is a great contrast with his former identity as a minister, and there has been a video of Zhuge Kongming "bundy" on the B station, and it may only be a matter of time before the minister washes the ghost animal area again.
As an animation OP, this multi-minute brain hole has been open, which is enough to trigger a topic on the Internet. The detailed hint of Zhuge Kongming helping the talented girl realize her musical ideals in the picture is actually the sustenance of the animation creator's good wishes: after the transformation of time and space, the auxiliary object has become a shibudge, and Zhuge Kongming's wish may be able to be satisfied in this new era.
