Gosenzo-sama Banbanzai!

First anime I’ve watched after months. Very good, 8/10. What I liked the most is the exaggerated amount of dialogue and that theatrical atmosphere. Even though only one was truly philosophical and the rest political or social critique, each one has its own value and they’re all very entertaining to listen to.
Regarding the message, it’s an exposition and critique of the American nuclear family inherited by Japan, unfolding in the psychological, philosophical, and political realms. To explain the causes of this phenomenon, it uses politics, narrating the cultural appropriation of American family models by Japan, which the Japanese government exploits to keep the State standing ... and the danger that its dissolution would entail. To explain the reactions of the members to the phenomenon, it uses psychology, arguing that as a result of the boredom and stress of the sad family life, its members will look for any excuse to find a greater purpose in their lives, even at the cost of dissolving themselves. Finally, to explain the irrationality of this reaction, it uses philosophy, through which it rejects any fanciful excuse to try to escape the monotony of life, proposing an empiricist and objectivist point of view.
This as an analysis of the message of the work. But for me, it shines more in its form than in its substance, and therefore, all of this can be interpreted in many ways and does not exhaust its value in what it has to say, but rather in how it says it. Good stories are those that exhaust all the resources that the medium through which they are transmitted can provide, and this one fulfills that characteristic abundantly.

Gosenzo-sama Banbanzai! heavily relies on its comedic appeal to engage viewers, featuring limited animation and heavy amounts of dialogue that is more akin to a screenplay than a typical anime. The series executes its animated segments well and features character designs that complement the overall tone. However, viewers who do not find the humor to their liking may not find much else to enjoy. Gosenzo-sama Banbanzai! caters specifically to a particular audience, and those who do not fit that demographic may want to explore other options. Ultimately, the series will likely be well-received by its target audience, but may leave others scratching their heads.

I am baffled by the rating and reviews on this series. We start off being introduced to some weird family that talks in circles and loops, saying the same thing in twenty different ways, in a fast paced suffocating manner. A knock on the door leads to a conspiracy theory of bullshit where it took the main 30 minutes to open the door, to somehow still find the person (a time traveling granddaughter) still waiting.

Characters would stay bashed against a window, leaning against the air, *the the window is bashed out* for a five minute scene while some wanna be coca-cola spokesmen, ... time traveling security agent, still spouting pure nonsense with his arms ticking back and forth in the motion of a clock, as if that was suppose to be a joke. For one episode, every time a misses was asked something, a light is shun on her and she gets up to say a word, to sit back down. Yea, just hilarious... not the way it was done here. Random and forced.

I didn't expect anything of the animation, but the bit of fluid movement that there was, was wasted on pointless scenes. yet, they couldn't move buddy away from the window, they can turn their heads and respond, but still be stuck to the window.. as this lanky pedophile dances around.

The plot is dull and a cliche mess, if there was comedy in the show, it was over-exaggerated and i never notice anything to be funny... maybe a few scenes made me go "that wasn't as horrible as i thought" Most of it was just random squabbling that almost that went on for what felt like decades. One scene which almost lead to a golf club and baseball bat fight between father and son was so abrupt it was stupid. Then, oh god. The super annoying mother pops out of her room, B**ching and complaining the whole time for someone to answer the door. Which still took a good half hour to accomplish

This isn't for old time lovers or veteran anime watchers, i am basically both. This series is just for people who have specific tastes. To me, this was a special kind of torture.
