As disappointing as it is, it's actually not that bad.

I wouldn't blame you if, at first glance from the trailer, some skepticisms arise. There's no need to point out that yes, the animation is hilariously bad. And I wouldn't hold it against you if you realized J.C. Staff was in charge of it, and make a subconscious effort to pretend this adaptation of…

Gokushufudou: How a good anime has exposed the one dimensional lens that we look through when judging shows.

__Gokushufudou: How a good anime has exposed the one dimensional lens that we look through when judging shows. __ _Hello everyone! This is a spoiler free review so feel free to read without worry.

The only reason to watch this over reading the source material is for Kenjiro Tsuda's phenomenal voice acting.

There's one feeling that comes to mind when thinking of these few episodes, disappointment. Let's start with the elephant in the room, the animation. ___It's bad.___ It's hard to even call this an anime as most of it are still frames with little animation. It follows the manga artstyle very closel…

A short anime with really dry humor to just relax to.

# Story The story is about Tatsu, who stops being a yakuza (a japanese criminal) and instead becomes a househusband. This anime consists of funny situations he encounters, and little conflicts with old rivals and friends from his past as a criminell. # Theme and what to expect from it The anime i…

Don't be discouraged by the animation! Watch for the hilarious jokes and VA's

When I first saw the trailer I was incredibly put off and honestly disappointed as I love the manga and was hoping it would get the full adaptation treatment. After watching it I was not disappointed. The adaptation is very true to the manga... maybe a little too much but its manga panel style and…

A show that gets too much hate, but is actually amazing. My rant on how I love Gokushufudou.

__This review will be spoiler-free __ __FYI, i was caught up with the manga before the show came out. __ So, where do I start... The Gokushufudou anime is amazing. That's right, i said the Gokushufudou anime is amazing. Why's that? Well that's why I'm writing this. Keep reading (and watching a ton o…

A miserable adaptation of a great series

There are expectations that people have whenever an anime adaptation, whether it be for a light novel, manga, or video game, is announced. For many in the anime community, the shows are a first glimpse into the source material, and with that knowledge, there's an expectation that there's effort put…

Um anime que é basicamente um audiobook colorido de um mangá.

No dia 08 de Abril de 2021 eu resolvi assistir ao anime Gokushufudou, pois era um anime curto, tanto em número de episódios, quanto em tempo de cada episódio e aqui está a minha critíca: Inicialmente ressaltarei o roteiro e posteriormente os aspectos técnicos. 1-ROTEIRO O enredo do anime gira em…

Just stick to the manga

In hindsight I probably should've expected this especially since it's a 5ep ONA with Netflix and J.C. Staff (both of which are mixed bags when it comes to anime), but I was blinded by excitement over the manga getting an adaptation of sorts. The whole thing is kind of a hot mess and I'm not exactly…

The animation may be terrible, but the story wasn't so bad!

Gokushufudo is a better series than being a lab rat for terrible creative experiments.

Gokushufudou or as the English title implies is a story that revolves around a house husband but with a twist. It had all the elements of a __what could have been a great anime__. A unique story, superb comedic timings, banger OP and ED and great voice acting. What it lacked behind is the fundamenta…

It takes a real man to be a wife

Produced by Netflix through J.C. Staff, it becomes very obvious why so many would feel like this is a poor adaptation to a beloved Manga .Even as an anime only viewer I can certainly understand why people would be disappointed . Created by Kousuke Oono, Gokushufudou or The Way of The Househusband, f…
