Shouwa Genroku Rakugo Shinjuu

 

77907.jpg

 

When a certain man is released from prison, he knows exactly where he's heading first. After falling in love with a traditional comic storyteller's rendition of the story called "Shinigami," he is determined to become his apprentice. The performer, Yakumo, has never taken an apprentice before, but to everyone's surprise, he accepts the eager ex-prisoner, nicknaming him "Yotaro."

As Yotaro happily begins his new life, he meets others in Yakumo's life, including Yakumo's ward Konatsu. Konatsu was the daughter of a famous storyteller, and Yakumo took her in after her father's tragic death. Konatsu loved her father's storytelling, and would love to become a performer in her own right—but that path is not available for women.

Personally, this is my favorite anime of the season. I love the drama and character interactions, both in the past and the present. Anyone else watching this beautiful anime?

Didn't get to watch episode 3 yet, but this is easily my favorite anime of this season right now. I laughed so hard at Yotaro's 'Dekigokoro' story in the first episode.

Episode 3 still plays in the past. I'm assuming two or three more episodes will be dedicated to the past before we go back to the present. In a way, it's nice to do it this way, b/c we can compare the past and present Yakumo. Unfortunately, we also now his best buddy will die :(

I honestly need to listen to that story again, lol. I prob dozed off a bit b/c I was tired when I watched the first episode (it was long after all).

True. Wonder why no one thought of remake. It's obvious that the series is still popular. One day, I can dream.

I really like the idea about this begin a Rakugo anime (didn't know what Rakugo was first, so I watched some Rakugo performers on YouTube).

I haven't really watched that much anime from Deen, I think the only anime I watched was F/SN, but I never finished it  :sweatdrop:

Lol, I did the same thing on youtube, lol.

Hmm, I think I've only watched three series from Studio Deen so far. But F/SN... that was the definition of butchering something, lol.

Such a beautiful anime. Every week, I'm looking forward to this anime.

While I am personally tired of these love triangles, I can tolerate/forgive that trope b/c of how natural and and honest the characters interact with each other up till now. No superficiality.

But gosh, I feel so bad for Miyokichi. She seems to have truly fallen in love with Kiku, but that dude is just uninterested (especially after having been reminded about his master and her).

Finally got around to catching up on this. Rakugo pretty much made this winter season of anime worthwhile for me, and I can't wait for the second season.

I am waiting for the 2nd season to end before i watch it.. hopefully i can manage to do that without being spoiled.

 

This isn't really something i would get into but for some reason it hooked me in.There's this familiar, poignant feeling in the story that makes me attached to the characters and their story.

 

It was also nice to learn about rakugo..
