Something of a cultural phenomenon that managed to shake up the anime scene with its potent drama, bittersweet characterisation, and skilful narrative accessibility to the ancient art of Rakugo storytelling, we can’t do enough justice as to just how unique, fulfilling and wonderfully recognised this series is.
Something of a cultural phenomenon that managed to shake up the anime scene with its potent drama, bittersweet characterisation, and skilful narrative accessibility to the ancient art of Rakugo storytelling, we can’t do enough justice as to just how unique, fulfilling and wonderfully recognised this series is. After a former yakuza serves his time, he sets out into the world in order to become a Rakugo performer, now under the strained tutelage of a rather unwilling master practitioner. Fuelled by the conflict both on and off stage, this one truly is something special.
