The animation looks like it was done by queen bee but other than that it was kind of funny.

Waste of a performance by Kenjiro Tsuda. The producer of this should be ashamed of himself. Why work in an industry that you actively hate?

Firstly I think the story is very good and funny. comedy is more my style. At first I was like "What is with this animation??" but then I got used to it and like other people say, I think it fits it quite well

I'm in the middle of the first episode. I'm about to quit this show...such a shame i was kind of hyped for this one.

The "Anime" is no Anime. It's just a colored manga with little animations. A twelve year old can do this over the weekend. Wonder how much money Netflix gave for this garbage...I'm in the wrong business.

Man, i can feel it that it would make me laugh really good but, my god that producer can go to hell for that horrible decision of transforming the manga into a PowerPoint. Its sucking the fun out of it.

I haven't read the manga and I probably will

I know lot of people hated the animation, but it was clearly done on purpose. I actually had fun watching it. Since it is just ona, maybe in the future this will get a better adaption

Anyways, I'm gonna watch it because it was fun and the shitty adaption make it even funnier

it’s a shame, personally I was laughing my ass off watching this but it seems the majority of people disliked this style; guess something different from the usual animation made this a bit more interesting to me? well not like I give a single fuck if others like a show

That was pretty hilarious! Definitely going to start reading the manga after binging this. I think this visual style fits the show, though it's a little too fast.

The OP and ED goes fucking hard though. And Tsuda Kenjiro is fantatstic as always.

I just watched the first episode and I am disappointed. Holy hell, the animation was lazy as hell. The story seems good but the pacing isn't good. Overall, it seems like they had no money or time to successfully complete the series. I may finish it, but I'm not in any hurry.

Just stop complaining about the animation, it's not ugly or bad animated, it's just something different that doesn't have to be better or worse than usual anime animation.

The OST is awesome, the VA's just nailed it, and the way the anime tells you what is happening does not miss anything from the manga.

Anyways, it's not something I don't like but it's not an absolutely fabulous work either, 6/10

When you take "faithfulness to the source material" way too literal. This is basically a manga with sound. What a shitty directing decision, honestly.

This anime is perfect: the voice acting is stellar and the style is faithful to the manga. It's like people have never seen Ninja Slayer.

The opening and ending themes are catchy as too, and they both highlight the double meaning of shufu which adds another layer of meaning to the title which is pretty great.

Ah the classic JC Staff. Pace each and every shot as quickly as it can because as long as people are busy trying to keep up, they won’t notice that literally nothing is moving on screen other than the camera. This technique was used to a masterful degree in the past JC Staff titles that everyone loves such as the later seasons of Food Wars.

The moving manga style isn't bad in and of itself, but to make it works you need to nail the timing and the shot transition. And, well, this ain't it chief. The lack of animation also gives room for a more detailed visual design. But when the whole thing looks like every regular anime ever, this style just screams "lazy" rather than "artistic license".

You can get used to the animation after the first episode, in my opinion this style matches the series well. It reminds me of pop team epic, gag anime/manga.


Yup, its a good fit to the style and feel of the manga.

Unfortunately the young battle shounen animation elitists that have swarmed into MAL the last couple of years are going to hate the artistic choice and downvote this into oblivion.


Hahaha they can't never understand the "artistic choice"

There's a difference between "looking like DS" and a literal slideshow. No one was expecting it to look absolutely amazing. We were just expecting, like, actual animation? Also, it being a deliberate choice doesn't make it good.
Even the author of the manga said he like the way it is animated and is happy with it, I don't see how a traditional animation would bring anything more to the story

Wow even the author is Happy about it...
People are ready hate something different.

This made me laugh my ass off. It's a short series and i didn't expect much from it but man the humor is so funny plus the food looks so appetizing.

I do get what people said about the animation but they are really too harsh on this.

No complaints with the artstyle like other crybabies here. First episode was ok. Not too good, not too bad. Moreover, I wanted to know more about Yakuza. I've read about those filthy bastards earlier also. I was curious to see a Japanese mafia gang shown in a Japanese cartoon.

For some reason this reminds me of Cromartie High School. I enjoyed that one and so far I do like this anime. I liked the shopping war with mittens as the reward for battle! It's cute and it's not serious so it will do fine with me.

Finally got around to it and I enjoyed it quite a bit, it was pretty funny. The opening was pretty sick too. The animation isn't even a problem, there are countless anime like it and it's not bad since it's going for that, even if it wasn't it fits pretty well. I seen a lot of comments about people who don't like the animation and think it's an absolute trash tier adaptation so I was worried, but now I realize that's probably just quality junky opinions, where anything less than fate heaven's feel or made in abyss level visuals is like ex-arms level regardless of the style or approach to animation. At the end of the day it was great, lol. Definitely gonna binge, and if it stays this way, then excited for the announced second season.

I honestly like 1st episode. Sure the animation is gone, but it has some kind of charm to me. :)

Started this tonight, coming in cold. I love the concept!

If you dig it, that's cool. If you don't, that's cool too.

Personally, I love shows with distinct style regarding art and animation. It makes the show's identity that much more distinct. Then again, I'm coming off of Devilman: Crybaby, Odd Taxi, and Aggretsuko season 2, so maybe my eyes are just used to each show being distinct.

Don't get me wrong, the "traditional" look has its strengths too - I'm loving what I'm seeing with Jujutsu Kaisen.

If a show has the secret sauce to make it interesting - concept, character work, overall plot, etc. - the art style doesn't matter to me.

Boring plot, bad pacing, bland characters - these are my turn-offs. Looking at you, One-Punch Man season 2...

Is that Keith Silverstein playing the older cop in the dub? I recognized that as Gouhin's voice!

Anyway, I appreciate them doing something different with the format, but it's not as hilarious as many make it out to be.

I don't really bitch about animation quality but even I noticed this. People saying that this is an art choice, no it is not. This is just motion manga, but worse. Usually motion manga are done so that you can still understand what is going on. This however is very rushed and very hard to understand. It gets better in following episodes but never good.

I believe this would be a cult anime like "Sakamoto desu ga" or "Danshi koukousei no nichijou" if it was done well. Such a shame.

Not a big fan of motion comic animation but at least the comedy is great.
