Their styles of learning also vary greatly, while Yakamo prefers to take a more formal approach by reading and repeatedly reciting his stories. Sukeroku on the other hand prefers to attend the pub or brothel and tell stories from real life experiences; this unorthodox approach is the reason why his opinions and ideas vary greatly from the rest of the rakugo community.
Suggestions of change are not always welcomed/accepted in well-established fields as they present a sense of unease and insecurity. The field of rakugo appears to flourish after the war bringing laughter and entrainment to people’s lives; yet the development of technology on the other hand brings new methods of entertainment which rises in popularity at an alarming rate. Illustrating how the development of technology brings fragility to well-established areas, will crumble unless it manages to develop accordingly.
Overall this is a very enjoyable anime that explores some mature themes.
