-Story- (10)
This is the unique one, who made this anime always stick on my mind. Story of this anime is about a guy who become a disciple of a rakugoka ( a rakugo master), after he got impressed by the master's performance when he was still in the jail. Rakugo is one of a culture show in Japan which just there is one person as storyteller and narrator to tell story with various themes but full with inspiration. Probably many of you still don't know what it is, same like me at first, but this is the point of the story. This anime, slowly but surely, keeps trying to get us inside more deeply to know and even enjoying rakugo show. The story alone focus on two viewpoint, first the disciple guy, Youtaro, and his master when he's still young. For the next episodes, the story just keeps driving for being more solid than before, so it won't disappoint you till the end...
-Art- (9)
The animation art is gorgeous and smooth, this proves everyone is wrong about negative critics on DEEN Studio, which many people said always makes shitty anime with trash quality. Seriously, sometimes that just bothers me because people always blame DEEN for what they've done to FSN and always compare it with ufotable's version. And for some reasons, the animation kinda brings nostalgic on me cause it looks similiar with Sakamichi no Apollon, and that's why the animation always fits with my eyes..
-Sound- (10)
All sounds factors including voice acting, OP & ED, even soundtrack are really matching for the anime. Ishida Akira and Seki Tomokazu surely knows how to voicing the characters, and even all voice actors for supporting roles, they tried nicely done for this anime. Altought the Opening song is awesome, the Ending exceed my expectation. If you ever watched Mushishi and listen the ending song, this anime ending is not strange for you, the jazz music with slowly pace, will make you lost yourself for one minute, absolutely one of my favorite for this season. About the soundtrack, everything is cool especially when Shamisen (Japanese Tradiitional Guitar) be played in the anime..
-Character- (8)
All charcters here are typical of character which make us to never can hate them for some reasons. As i said before, there are two main characters here which have their own stories. First Youtaro, the guy who wanna be a Rakugoka and become a disciple from a Master Rakugo, and then start his lesson how to get that dream. And second one is Yakumo-sensei, a Rakugoka who become a master for Youtaro, this anime also focus on Yakumo's past about how he can be a famous Rakugoka. And also, all supporting characters are nice and have positive sides for the anime story. So far, that's the only my explanation for characters because i don't give too much spoiler here..
-Enjoyment- (10)
I REALLY enjoy it so far, and expect more of this anime come soon. This anime surely knows how to make you laugh, amazed, and even give a heartwarming feeling into your heart...
-Overall- (10)
It's perfect 10/10 anime for me and i hope there will be more anime like this in the future, i hope. I surely suggest this anime for you if you wanna try to watch anime with full of calmness, heartwarming, and slice of life story, you won't be disappointed i swear...
