i did really like the first ep, but have to agree with Sakura that the "master" isn't given a whole lot of material to show off why he's so great. up until he got expelled, i genuinely expected Yotaro falling asleep to be a sort of "this Master is actually just overblown" moment, and for Yota to go off and study Sukeroku style. but otherwise the characters are super interesting, especially seeing the gradual layers of Yurakutei. the thief story was a good way to sell rakugo to the audience i think, i enjoyed it despite Yota's inexperience.

The Devil Tesla posted:Notice the point that Yotaro fell asleep was also the point where Yakumo's story was about falling asleep. Yotaro was so into his story that he fell asleep himself. ah, i had probably stopped absorbing anything from the subs at that point because it was so dull to me.  if we're meant to think of rakugo as more general storytelling (like DW interpreted) then it's my bad for expecting all the performances to resemble the thief story.

in another world, Sukeroku and Yakumo raise Konatsu and teach her rakugo, together

i think it's lovely to act like this show being good has anything to do with tropes being present or not (they aren't inherently bad anyway). it's got a great atmosphere and ends up being a sort of cultural education to western (and maybe younger) viewers. i'm a few weeks behind and can't really speak on how characters are developing, but i've enjoyed their presentations so far.
