"If there were ever a dark horse for the 2016 Winter season, this title is it. Sadly overlooked by many, Shouwa Genroku Rakugo Shinjuu is a show that quickly ushered you out of the cold and into the warm embrace of its heartfelt narrative. The more time you spend with these characters, the harder it became to say farewell. This might not be for everyone, given the slower pacing and absence of anime tropes associated with the medium, but for those who want something more than the usual offerings expected, I cannot suggest this enough. It's truly a work of art."

#2: Review by CodeBlazeFate

"In fact, that's the perfect word to describe this show: refreshing. Can you name a single other anime that showcases the art of Rakugo? Can you name many anime where the characters often wear robes? Can you name a drama that is told like visual poetry? No one can, at least in this point in time. Not every work of art is original or done with the people or the art in mind. Some art is made for the cash, and those works are often what us critics bash (like Mahouka, The Asterisk War, and so...so many others). The medium is chock full of this stuff. Hell, all entertainment mediums have failed ambitious projects and projects that were made with cash in mind rather than quality or ambition. That's what makes works like this so refreshing to us."

"Shouwa Genroku Rakugo Shinjuu, is a pretty impressive series. It has a strong narrative, superb characters and acting and really good art and animation. If you're interested in historical dramas at all, I do recommend trying it."

#4: Review by Werty800

"It's a tale of mistakes and misconceptions, and retains all the qualities that make dramas good, but gets rid of unnecessary melodrama and pushes the suspension of disbelief just far enough with each event so that it can remain grounded, and that's really what makes this show so good. It's something that you would think couldn't work as it's way too obscure and too far off from what you're used to, but it turns out it just isn't. It's something that breaks the barriers of nationality or beliefs, as those are human things that can't be changed, and remains a fantastic story available for literally anyone, just like a rakugo story performed by a skilled artist"

#5: Review by Fleure

”Now, art forms come and go, evolve and dissolve, and keep humanity breathing with their own life force. Shouwa Genroku Rakugo Shinjuu shows the intricacies of that process through the lives of two men who through their art, change themselves and each other. They are a reminder of the eternality of art (even if the world changes) and those who create it (regardless of history that burns and rises). So even when the shamisen stops playing, and the dimly-lit theatre stands alone, we can still hear the stories of Sukeroku and Kiku, and Shouwa Genroku Rakugo Shinjuu is proud to do us that favor. "

#6: Review by Veronin

”At times joyful, and ever more so devastating, Shouwa Rakugo is a truly sincere and human story. It speaks a simple, raw tale of flawed existence. It does not fluff itself with philosophy, symbolism and other obscure subject matter. It speaks to the individual: it wants you to listen, and it wants you to consider the moments in life where you truly felt beating, breathing and alive. It is in that short moment that it has meaning."
