Preliminary (1/2 eps)
For starters I'll write down my emotional progress during watching:SPOILER!

hmmm... l'd see this a little bit, poster looked great; Hm? sound's real great sets the mood, looks it'll get funny; WoW such art and expressions on characters (main look a bit annoin'); Hey I don't know what Rakugo is lets Google it... hm looks interesting lets continue!! HAHAHAHA what was that last 15 mins_ it was sloppy performance, but laughed quite badly :DDD WTF ghost???
AAAAA I want to see this animated more, perform moreee!!!!

story: very promising! as I see it OVA is only prelude to main story so it's more like introduction of characters, Rakugo and how those people met first of all. Everything is explained and put nicely together. Unfortunately You can't hear the professional storytelling, hope to see it further in the series which are to be released after second OVA. (look forward to it!

Music and art: I just couldn't put them separately as for real they are totally in sync. Beautiful, gougers, striking, funny and very expressive. Probably one of the best which I've seen since 2015 year started. And it'll most likely become this series "trademark".

Characters: At first we are introduced to "Yotarou"(nickname)typical happy go lucky character, who does everything on whim and halfheartedly. At least thats what it seems at first, there are some complicated past stories though. This airhead is influenced with Rakugo performance of Yakumo known as "shinigami" and totally falls in love (no BL subplot don't be mistaken!!!!!)... Again with his character he goes meeting Yakumo and and asks to take him and teach performing. Though Yakumo has a policy of not taking students he for some reason agrees(still unknown.) This sensei totally scary I must say, he really lives up to Shinigami. He really seems like deep character.Konatsu who was the daughter of a famous deceased storyteller also is interesting and quite fond of Youtaro, she is the one who gave him this nicknam. She and sensei has some common old ties and background story.

Enjoyment: yeah, just watch it no need for words. Enjoy
