My knowledge on rakugo is pretty limited, so I can't say how good of a job this anime does at it, but what I can say is that I really enjoyed watching it.
The plot is simple. It mostly revolves around a tanuki who wants to master rakugo in order to trick humans. We follow her (mis)adventures as she aims to fulfill her goal of becoming a Rakugoka. On the way she meets a lot of interesting people and dwells more into the world of rakugo.
The rakugo itself is really interesting to listen to, altough I don't find it particularly funny, but honestly I don't

Another Rakugo show? I know that that's a bit of a fair niche just like manzai a.k.a Japanese stand-up comedy, but while the understanding to appeal to Japan is there to be the difference, over in the West, there's just a miniscule size of anime otakus being history buffs. And having said that, this show gets lost in translation, but how so does it fare against the come-and-gone contemporaries?
It's been said in Japanese folklore that the raccoon a.k.a tanuki does have a rather malevolent past. The oldest and earliest tales and legends speak not only of the possession of humans but also of shapeshifting. One ... Oct 14, 2022
Honestly, there is a lot of charm and good feelings when it comes to this show, and how it conducts itself. From entertaining and fun characters that are certainly memorable. To the whole feel of the show itself. Making it one of the shows you'll enjoy watching this season. While it won't amaze in action, but it more than makes that up with it's charm and character. To the point it even brought out a few laughs from me. If an anime can promote a reaction like that, then it's certainly worth watching.
Story and characters: 8 These are the main highlights, as they really blend together, ... Dec 23, 2022
I think people will look at the premise of the show and notice that it's about rakugo and formulate their opinions on whether they should watch it or not because of that. And that makes sense. As rakugo is a main element of the work. However, I think it has so much to offer outside of that focus of rakugo. There are great characters and character interactions as well as some strong themes of found family and performance. Uchi no Shishou wa Shippo ga Nai is able to take these ideas and make an incredibly compelling and heartwarming story.
The center of this story is ... Mar 7, 2023
( THIS IS JOURNEYS TO GETTING WISER AND MATURE THROUGH ART )
Im in love with anime but you will not probably But firstly i like clear one thing rakugo is there not to create great rakugo anime Its there as connection between nature and human Basically this is about nature and human and art is there bond Every character other than artist or performers are shown as how HUMANS are, And our main characters bunko, mameda and may be buncho are shown as how NATURE is ...

It’s Just a Rakugo Bro.
My Master Has No Tail is fine. A charming little anime about a Tanuki called Mameda living in a time period where the Japanese people are getting harder and harder to trick and prank thanks to the advancement of technology. Later, after trying and failing to trick a mysterious, mythical creature living as a human, she discovers the magic and modern “trickery” of rakugo, and in such awe she decides to pursue a career as a rakugoka by studying under her reluctant master, Bunko. I’ll be honest, I’m not exactly the biggest fan of anime about rakugo. I don’t hate it ... Dec 23, 2022
At a first glance, a rakugo-based show with a Taisho era setting might scratch a lot of people head, since that's probably not much that people are interested more, and looks like a lot of research is needed to understand.
But well, it's not like that, and its not hard to follow either. My Master Has No Tail is a story of journey of life, which would be relatable to many in present times despite its setting. And each of the cast has a very interesting background to see about, and has their own way of life to look into. Rakugo is just a centered idea, ... Dec 23, 2022
A pretty decent series with a sweet ending. Not bad, but not great either, just adequate. I like that there was at least some character development on Mameda in the second half of the show and it's clear she's more motivated and determined to be like her master Bunko and she has certainly found a sense of belonging with her. She's learning, and she'll get there. This show, I admit, makes me more interested to study the Meiji era and Rakugo. I doubt this would be forgettable story.
The art style and animation are good, and I actually liked the background and aesthetics for a show ... Feb 4, 2023
If you're tired of the "4 cute girls does this in a club" troupes but still want a relaxing but interesting Slice of Life show. This anime will do the trick.
Each episode revolves around the main character learning something about Rakugo or figuring out how to overcome simple life challenges, it's endearing but not the deepest show around the block. The art style is cute, the animation is well done, the music is great, and the atmosphere is perfect after a long week of work. Obvious like most westerners I don't know anything about Rakugo except it's some form of storytelling, but in addition of ... Nov 12, 2022
i really wanted to enjoy this anime, as mythical creatures and obscure Japanese culture are things i find interesting, but I cant stay awake through an episode, I have to watch one at least 3 times to remember what happened. the character back story is better than the main story, and it feels like an experiment on how far into nothing happening zone a slice of life can be pushed. I only made it half way so maybe it gets better in the second half, but I wont be here for it. everyone is different and I always say try before you say you dont

I do not know enough about Rakugo to know if the portrayal in this anime is good or bad; but I know enough after watching this that Bunko is a boring Rakugoka who inexplicably looks like a middle school boy while also managing to have an annoying condescending personality. A quick read about Tanuki teaches that they were rumored to have magical powers, they are tricksters who shapeshift and steal. Mischievous creatures sort of like raccoons are known to be on this side of the world.
Mameda is the Tanuki in question, being sent to the big city in Taisho Era (early 20th century) Japan. ... |
