I have to be honest, i got inspired to make this review after seeing the anime general score and reading some reviews that speaks really bad about it, which i think is absolutely unfair!

I agree that this may fail to be called an ''anime'', of animation have very little, but, THIS WAS NOT made with laziness or something like that, it was deliberate choice! The director thought that the adaptation needed that ''dramatic touch'', distinctive of the original manga, wich is powered by the onomatopoeias and by, actually, beeing drawn.

There is a total miss comprehension of Gokushufudou, it's this ''dramatic touch'' that makes it funny. The MC has a killer serious attitude (Yakuza style of course) in situations where it is not required. The director thought that this style of ''no movement'' was a good idea for this dramatic porpuse (i agree) and in fact, the mangaka Kousuke Oono ''appreciated this style of animation and praised it for preserving the comedic timing of the source material'' (''Does The Way of the Househusband's 'Non-Moving' Animation Style Work?'', CBR.com).

Now, aside that topic, this is by far a good piece of work while beeing seen in its area. Clearly its focus is humor and the argument it's builded by making short comedy sketches, like Danshi Koukousei no Nichijou (far recomended), so don't you spect something really deep.

To me it is a solid 8.

Sorry about my english, isn't my native language! Cheers!
