 The continuation of the best anime of 2016[*], Descending Stories: Showa Genroku Rakugo Shinju moves our multigenerational melodrama ahead a few decades to where Rakugo is just about dead, and its only hope is our idiot hero Yotaro. Watch as he tries to save the art form, raise Konatsu's kid, and find his own Rakugo. He also has plenty of time to annoy the poo poo out of the now very old Yakumo, who has got issues that you can understand if you watch the first season! It's directed by Mamoru Hatakeyama, an ex-SHAFT director who's really coming into his own, and based on an award winning manga by Haruko Kumota. First season thread! Check out the second post for a very good explanation of just what the gently caress Rakugo is. In short: it's a 400 year-old form of Japanese comedic storytelling where a performer sits alone and performs a whole story just by himself, using minimal props and performing dialog between two or more characters. You don't really have to get it to start watching though, so just dive in! Watch both seasons on  CrunchyrollThe OP is really good!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vGx7u3hMCOA [*]according to me, the poster with the best taste an actual dog fucked around with this message at 19:05 on Feb 25, 2017 |
