Synopsis

The beginning of the Taishou era spelled the end of the tanuki's tricks. These raccoon dogs, who are able to transform into human beings, used to love fooling humans until advanced technology rendered their endeavors futile. However, Mameda, a young tanuki girl, has not given up on this tradition, and—resolved to follow in her father's footsteps—travels to Osaka in hopes of duping people.

As others in her village predicted, Mameda fails to deceive a single person, and she is even hunted down by an angry crowd. After finding refuge in a theater, she stumbles upon a rakugo performance given by a master of the art, Bunko Daikokutei. Fascinated by the vivid images created by the rakugoka's acting, Mameda becomes enamored with this style of storytelling and decides to become Bunko's apprentice!

Despite her initial reluctance to take a disciple, Bunko begins to teach Mameda rakugo after witnessing the young tanuki's perseverance. Between undertaking a taiko apprenticeship, handling her work at the theater, and memorizing plays, Mameda needs to give her all if she ever plans to master the only art that still has a chance to fool people.

( 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

Mixed Feelings

Here is my review of this anime in 2023!

Story (7)
The story is an about a tanuki that can transform into a human. Then She wants to go to the Human village to make fun of them by fooling them until She found a girl that plays rakugo and inspired. After that, He learns how to do rakugo and forget about Her main goals. This is where the journey is becoming interesting.

Art (7)
The art of this anime is quite good. I like the color palette that they use for making the edo vibes. But the animation is too simple and uses lot of static images.

Sound ...

(Texto em PT/BR no final)

Uchi no Shishou wa Shippo ga Nai was a work that in the first instance did not prove to be a big deal, creating any kind of expectation for the work seemed crazy, but the first episode managed to change that view a little, presenting an immersive or illustrative rakugo depending on the moment, thus creating a strong connection with the stories told by both the characters and the spectator. Rakugo has a very functional comedy and a highlight that makes it the great icing on the cake of the work, but this also puts Uchi no Shishou wa Shippo ga ... Nai in a situation of monotomy, since the other proposals of the work do not even reach the foot of the work done on top of rakugo.

The fact that Mameda is a tanuki can sometimes be well used by the work, as in episode 05 where she transforms into a shamisen to replace the one that had broken, thus allowing Koito to follow up, but this is a rare occasion, since even the residents' treatment of the existence of a tanuki in the city becomes frivolous over time. On the one hand, this demonstrates that Mameda managed to infiltrate society, but on the other hand, its differential starts to lose prominence.

The narrative of Uchi no Shishou wa Shippo ga Nai is weak and does not show great depth at almost any moment, making it very dependent on the presentations for the work to be interesting, episode 10 where Mameda passes the Enshi test it is the only one where the narrative manages to gain prominence. Mameda's relationship with the other tanukis was constantly shown, so that she was out of the group, when Mameda decides to go to the forest in order to be able to concentrate to decorate the Jugemu, the memories that had been forgotten for a while return. When asked why she was so concerned about the name Daikokutei, Mameda replied that this was the only place where she belonged, the idea of belonging is also brought about by Enshi's relationship with her last name and her relationship with Bunchou, making this the deepest moment of the series.

The advancement of civilization was very present at first (after all, it was forgotten over time), and this created a depth in the universe, the tricks of the tanukis no longer worked with humans, after all, with all the technological advances, the deceptions of the tanukis became they made something small compared to what had already been created, causing the existence of the tanuki to be forgotten and they needed to live like common animals. Despite the tricks no longer being effective, the desire to deceive from the tanuki and the desire to be deceived from the humans still existed and created a connection between them, so much so that the best scene in the work is when Mameda, to escape from the humans, throws herself a tower and lands on Bunko's boat, causing the humans who previously ran after her in a rage to start laughing. The only moment where this idea ends up being rescued is when Bunko and Mameda start to deceive people so they don't have to pay a debt that wasn't theirs, despite working as a comedy, it doesn't have enough development to be memorable and add something to it. series.

In conclusion, Uchi no Shishou wa Shippo ga Nai has a very efficient rakugo, immersively giving life to the experience of the stories told, and when the anecdotes were not told in full, they received their attention in the post-credits, sometimes even providing information that covered the knowledge on the topic. Despite the comedy working, mainly through rakugo, the narrative does not have enough content to support the work, thus it becomes monotonous and shallow.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Uchi no Shishou wa Shippo ga Nai era uma obra que em primeira instância não demonstrava ser nada demais, criar qualquer tipo de expectativa para a obra parecia maluquice, porém o primeiro episódio conseguiu mudar um pouco essa visão, apresentando um rakugo imersivo ou ilustrativo dependendo do momento, criando assim uma forte conexão com as histórias contadas tanto por parte dos personagens, quanto do espectador. O rakugo possui uma comédia muito funcional e um destaque que o torna a grande cereja no bolo da obra, porém isso também coloca Uchi no Shishou wa Shippo ga Nai em uma situação de monotomia, já que as outras propostas da obra não chegarão nem aos pés do trabalho feito em cima do rakugo.

O fato da Mameda ser um tanuki consegue por vezes ser bem utilizado pela obra, como no episódio 05 onde ela se transforma em um shamisen para substituir aquele que havia quebrado, permitindo assim que a Koito fizesse o acompanhamento, mas essa é uma rara ocasião, já que até mesmo o tratamento dos moradores perante a existência de um tanuki na cidade passa a ser leviana com o tempo. Por um lado isso demonstra que a Mameda conseguiu se infiltrar na sociedade, mas por outro lado o diferencial dela passa a perder destaque.

A narrativa de Uchi no Shishou wa Shippo ga Nai é fraca e não demonstra grande profundidade em quase nenhum momento, fazendo com que exista uma dependência muito grande das apresentações para a obra se mostrar interessante, o episódio 10 onde a Mameda passa pelo teste da Enshi é o único onde a narrativa consegue ganhar destaque. Constantemente era mostrada a relação da Mameda com os outros tanukis, de forma que ela ficava deslocada do grupo, quando a Mameda decide ir para a floresta com o intuito de conseguir se concentrar para decorar o Jugemu, as lembranças que por um tempo haviam sido esquecidas retornam. Ao ser questionada do motivo de se preocupar tanto com o nome Daikokutei, Mameda responde que esse era o único lugar onde pertencia, a ideia de pertencimento é trazida também pela relação da Enshi com seu sobrenome e a relação dela com o Bunchou, tornando esse o momento mais profundo da série.

O avanço da civilização foi muito presente em um primeiro momento (afinal foi esquecida com o tempo), e isso criou uma profundidade no universo, os truques dos tanukis não funcionavam mais com os humanos, afinal com todo o avanço tecnológico as enganações dos tanukis se tornavam algo pequeno perante ao que já havia sido criado, fazendo com que a existência dos tanukis pudesse ser esquecida e elas precisassem viver como animais comuns. Apesar dos truques não serem mais eficazes, a vontade de enganar provinda dos tanukis e a vontade de ser enganado dos humanos ainda existiam e criavam uma conexão entre eles, tanto que a melhor cena da obra é quando a Mameda para fugir dos humanos se joga de uma torre e cai no barco da Bunko, fazendo com que os humanos que antes corriam atrás dela enfurecidos começassem a rir. O único momento onde essa ideia acaba por ser resgatada é quando a Bunko e a Mameda começam a enganar as pessoas para não precisar pagar uma dívida que não era delas, apesar de funcionar como comédia, não possui desenvolvimento suficiente para ser memorável e acrescentar algo a série.

Concluindo, Uchi no Shishou wa Shippo ga Nai possui um rakugo muito eficiente, de forma imersiva dando vida a experiência das histórias contadas, e quando as anedotas não eram contadas por inteiro recebiam sua atenção no pós-créditos fornecendo por vezes até informações que abrangiam o conhecimento sobre o tema. Apesar da comédia funcionar, principalmente pelo rakugo, a narrativa não possui conteúdo suficiente para sustentar a obra, dessa forma ela se torna monótoma e rasa.
