Please note I have NOT read the manga yet, so I will not be making detailed comparisons between the manga and anime...

Gokushufufou, or Way of the Househusband, is comedic in every aspect, including its animation. I've seen very many people critiquing Househusband for its lack of "quality animation," but this factor did not, by any means, ruin the anime for me. In fact, I believe the crappy lack of animation is intentional, much like in The Disastrous Life of Saiki K, which JC Staff also produced. While I feel that Househusband didn't quite hit the mark as well as Saiki K did, I can still appreciate the laughability of characters moving around like paper dolls while some weird gangster sh*t is happening.

Househusband is ridiculous, but I feel as though it has comedy that a lot of anime lack. It doesn't have to try incredibly hard for a laugh, because it's just naturally funny. I mean, what couldn't be funny about an ex-yakuza now living as a househusband? Antics ensue.

I'm not going to go on forever and get into hard detail, but if you're looking for a short, comedic anime with an intro that's kind of a bop, go ahead and watch Househusband on Netflix... or wherever it's available to you. If you end up not liking it because of the animation, I dunno, watch Attack on Titan? I heard Jujutsu Kaisen has great animation, even though I haven't watched it yet, lol.
