Shogi, Karuta, Hanafuda, now Rakugo. These animes interest me the most since I learn more from them.
This anime went above and beyond in terms of how it executed the story.
This season was about the master who was trained last season, and he mentors an up-and-coming master who wants to redefine Rakugo. This old master wants to take Rakugo with him to the grave but this guy is not having any of it. In the meantime, Sukeroku (The intern) is wanting to keep it alive and practices with all the might hes god.
In the meantime, the old masters friends daughter is staying with the master, and she got pregnant since she wants to be a mother.
Soi Sukeroku marries her. In this season we also see some time they spend together.
We also see my favorite Rakugo story, Juugemu!!!
Jugemu Jugemu Go-Kō-no-Surikire Kaijari-suigyo no Suigyō-matsu Unrai-matsu Fūrai-matsu Kū-Neru Tokoro ni Sumu Tokoro Yaburakōji no Burakōji Paipo Paipo Paipo no Shūringan Shūringan no Gūrindai Gūrindai no Ponpokopii no Ponpokonā no Chōkyūmei no Chōsuke
One of the reasons I watched this anime is a canadian guy saying the story of Juugemu.
Anyway the reason I am rating this lower is because this did not have as mucbh of a weightage as I would like.
The first season was masterfully crafted, but this one felt a little boring in my opnion
that is until the last 8 episodes where it was all brought together and was very interesting once again...
The music is amazing, rakugo stories told were amazing.
All in all 7/10 probably going back to high school rom-coms again
Thanks!
