The way of the house husband is by far and away the best comedy to ever come out of Japan, and I will not rest until each and every one of my friends has experienced its gut-busting glory. A short and sweet story about a terrifying yakuza subverting expectations with a short and sweet anime, and I honestly cannot wait for season 2.

I am seeing several people complaining about the adaptation, but honestly, I found it perfectly fitting for the kind of story Gokushufudou wants to tell, and whitout Netflix, I and most everyone would have never even paid the manga any mind.

This is the same thing that happened with One Punch Man season 2, with picky fans upset they didn't get an all-star animation team to turn short gags into sakuga, and completely missing the fact that the heart and soul of the comedy remained not only intact, but stronger than ever.

Yes, the animation is sparse and the visuals are nowhere as detailed as the source material, but the voice acting, soundtrack, and directing more than make up for it, doubling down on the hillarious writing and unique atmosphere Kosuke Ono so expertly crafted.

Also, can we take a moment to appreciate the opening and ending tracks? They alone work wonders to elevate the material and set the mood for the antics to come. I cannot fathom consuming this story without them, and I pity those poor souls who have.

Watch this if you are a man, and bring forth your inner house husband!
