Warau Salesman

Want to see good and bad people alike get swindled by a fat man with a suitcase and a giant index-finger?
Give this a shot!

With the new revamp “sequel” this past year titled “Warau Salesman New”, I was surprised to see not a single review for the original series. Essentially, if you have a pessimistic side to you and enjoy dark comedy, you’ll probably get a decent amount of entertainment out of this one. I’ve only been able to find the first season, so this will only be reviewing the first 25 episodes.

In Warau Salesman, Every 10-minute episode features a brand new character. The ... desires of said character are given to you at the beginning of the episode. Once Moguro appears, he offers a too-good-to-be-true deal for the character. Some characters fall for it right away, others he has to be more persistent with. Rest assured, he closes the deal and you get to see the aftermath of the character’s now-met desires. Depending on how scummy the character it is, the more satisfying Moguro’s wrath becomes. Or in stark contrast, the character doesn’t deserve the treatment at all and you end up feeling pretty sympathetic toward them.

It started airing in 1989, so don’t expect too much from the quality of the animation, artwork and sound. I actually like the old school style, so this was a big plus for me. The thing I liked the most in the artwork were the scenes focusing on the city itself, as it often gives a polluted and sleazy feel to the show. You would also expect the new character’s personalities to bleed into each other and all be the same, but I was impressed that they were able to give new characters a personality of their own for each episode.

Whenever I was having a bad day, I turned an episode of this on and it instantly made me appreciate my life again which is what I liked most about it. Though it has comedic elements, there are some pretty sad and relatable characters within the show. You are bound to relate to at least one of them if you watch long enough. It's an episodic show, but that doesn't necessarily mean it's a bad thing. Warau Salesman does what it does very well, so you are bound to enjoy the rest of it if you enjoy the first episode.

Overall this is a great show if you are having one of those irritable days where you are annoyed by everything and everyone. I got a good amount of enjoyment of it in that respect. Next time you get into one of those cynical and depressing moods, maybe think about giving Warau Salesman a try.

Story: 6

warou salesman is about Fukuzou Moguro who is a salesman who tries to give people they want for free (without money) because he has good motives as he cares about wanting to give them what they want as he thinks he is doing something good.
Usually, he stretches the situations so much he really ends up hurting the majority of his clients even though some episodes those clients deserved this but most of the times they didn't.

Each episode is a different story featuring different involving people.He either finds by a coincidence the people he decides he wants to help or by picking them ... up.

My main problem is that after some point the cases and the messages are a bit similar
so it becomes a bit repetitive after some point which it makes sense because for how long are they gonna keep writing something that had entirely new different messages to give to the watchers of the anime and to be honest it's a quite predictable once you get to know what is going on you know that the client of this guy is gonna get either in some jail or hospital or get divorced.


Art 3

The art style is quite different from the standard approaching the faces are looking a bit goofy though even for the 89 era





Sound: 3

Well nothing special

Character: 2

Well we only know his motives but other than that from the 10 episodes i saw nothing else it has known because each episode is different and the focus is more on the clients he decides to take care of the episodes are focusing more on the clients than himself so i am gonna give him a 3

Enjoyment 4

Well the humour is like black comedy if you like black comedy and psychology well you may like it and it focus is morals, desires

Overall 4 and this is not a random score but based on the multiplication from all of the categories with the exception of the overall category and then division by 5 that are the main categories and while the score went 3.6 since it's above 3.5 i gave it a 0,5 bonus to get to 4 since it's above 3,5 you know right?

Well if you are the type of guy who will see behind the 1rst picture then it's a not half bad anime i would say at least it tries to give hidden messages to those who watch it and the messages are different since each episode is an entirely different story and it is not around a story pattern that the story progresses around it like most stories.
