Shouwa Genroku Rakugo Shinjuu
The story revolves around a mature prisoner who was released on good behavior during Japan's Shouwa Genroku era (1960s to early 1970s). He is called Yotarou by others, a term that means an "anti-hero" or a "dim-witted man." When he returns to society, he starts a new life in rakugo (comic storytelling). Touched by Yakumo's role as the "grim reaper," he asks the master to take him in as an apprentice. Most of the season delves into Yakumo's own past during World War II and the years afterward. (Source: Anime News Network) Note: The first episode aired with a runtime of 48 minutes as opposed to the standard 24 minute long episode.

It's twisted, corrupted and scarring, but at the same time, contradictorily, it's genuine, honest and salvation. Perhaps the beauty of love lies in that aspect of a contradiction. Shouwa Genroku Rakugo…

Read full review on AniList →What happens when you create a story about storytellers? Rakugo is a dying art form in the face of modern entertainment. This is a story about how it struggles through the ages. Most of the series takes place in the past as a backstory. In a drama that plays out like a novel, you watch the absolute…

Read full review on AniList →Starting _Shouwa Genroku Rakugo Shinjuu_ had me slightly wary. Many things about it reminded me of a show called _Kids on the Slope_, which I hold in high regard. _Kids_ was the perfect mix of setting, art direction, and music to keep me coming back for more, even if the undertones of its source mat…
