Synopsis

Who would have ever thought that the most feared gangster of his time now spends his days as a modest househusband? Seemingly giving up the way of the yakuza, the legendary "Immortal Dragon" Tatsu, best known for his prolific skirmishes against rival gangs, has abruptly vanished. Unbeknownst to most, however, Tatsu is currently staying at an apartment with his wife, doing his best to live a peaceful life.

Donning his trusty apron, Tatsu is now striving to become an efficient homemaker. Because of this, he has mastered the required skills—be it cooking the most delicious dishes, making sure to get the best deals at supermarkets, and everything in between—garnering the surprise of both of his former subordinates and enemies alike. Despite being a man with quite a controversial past, Tatsu's new way of life will only be more eccentric from here on out!

People hate on the animation because netflix advertised this as an anime when its more of a motion comic. It is hilarious, I love the episodic feel of it, and it does not get tired. I feel if this was animated as a traditional anime I would not have enjoyed it as much. Story wise, it is a very unique idea. Tatsu is a great main character and very funny in a dry humor kind of way. The side characters show up the perfect amount of times, giving great pacing in a 15 minute episode, thats divided into smaller chapters .Definitely watch this if ...

This was a fun and surprisingly wholesome show. It’s just little snippets of this ex-yakuza man’s life as he tries to reform his life by doing menial tasks with maximum effort.

If he goes out shopping people are scared of him but he doesn’t notice. Things like that. It’s funny and I especially love it when he talks to other yakuza members and sees how they handle such menial tasks. It’s kind of wholesome ...

No way that this is considered a 7 (as of this moment). I really did not like this show, but it was as expected of a Netflix Original. How can they have so much money yet produce such low quality shows?
This review is not solely based on animation, but on just being unfunny, bland, and dumb. Even if the animation was average it would still be bad.

Enjoyment: 2/10 "Comedy" was not funny, the same few tropes over and over.
Sound: 1.5/10 The use of sound-effects were just like the animation, "stock sound effects", the soundtracks were below average (I sort through soundtracks and ops/eds after watching ...
