Chapter 160 - A Massive Card Game (1/2)

It didn’t take long for the Weibo to be shared everywhere, in particular in the ACG community,

This song actually had several Chinese versions. Chen Mo chose the version that was closest to the original and better suited the title Gokuraku Jodo.

In Chen Mo’s previous life, Onmyoji made this song popular. This song was associated with Onmyoji ever since MikuMikuDance models of Onmyoji were made.

It was because Gokuraku Jodo and Onmyoji were both popular in the ACG community, and had an even better effect on the ACG community when combined. This was why Chen Mo decided to use this song to promote the game as its theme song.

In just a few days time, Gokuraku Jodo took over the dance section of every major streaming platform.

The song spread at an incredibly speed. It received explosive growth on the first day, there were people learning the dance on the second day. It didn’t take long before song and dance covers started appearing!

The dance, covers, and ACG sections of major streaming sites were all filled with Gokuraku Jodo. Many of them have listened to it many times and could recite the dance moves backwards.

And Onmyoji was also becoming more and more familiar.

Gokuraku Jodo’s explosive growth did wonders to Onmyoji.

It started on Weibo, where many artists posted their creations of the characters from Onmyoji. Some were cute, some were alluring, and all of them were based on Onmyoji.

There were original works as well as commissioned works. Onmyoji became a popular topic among the most influential in the ACG community.

There were also sketches related to Onmyoji, focusing on interactions between Shikigami in the story, which also became trending on Weibo.

It didn’t end there, Chen Mo released another video following that, titled ‘Onmyoji Mobile Game Voice Actor Promotional Video: Complete Version’.

This video covered all the artwork and voicelines of Shikigami. Although it was very short as each Shikigami only had one line, the lineup of voice actors were still really shocking.

“My goodness, this voice actor lineup is amazing. They are all the top voice actors for anime!”

“Kugimiya? Kazuhiko Inoue? Taro Kubo? Aki Toyosaki[1]? What a way to spend money!”

“Ahhh! My ears are pregnant!”

“These drawings are so good I want to lick the screen!”

“Can someone make sure it’s a mobile card game? A mobile card game?”

“Maybe it’s only cards in the game with no models. Did you forget about I Am MT? It’ll be amazing if they even give an animated card, I think that it’s just a gimmick!”

“If Chen Mo was willing to spend so much money on the artwork, music, voice acting, it wouldn’t be a stretch for him to spend money on models too! If he made 2D models like Demon Slayers 2, it’s going to look so much better than Demon Slayers 2!”

“I don’t think Chen Mo will settle with being the same as Demon Slayers 2, he never liked being the same in the past. Anyways, is a card game that has no cards still a card game?”

“Whatever, let’s just wait for the game to be released. I can’t wait!”
