Shouwa Genroku Rakugo Shinjuu

>>151733490
There's not much to discuss, which is why you don't see many threads. It's a period drama that wrapped up its story quite nicely, and the second season will deal with entirely different characters so there's not much to speculate about.

It doesn't help the original manga runs in a josei magazine, which means that even less people here will be familiar with the source than usual.

>>151733490
>watching pretentious DEENshit

shiggy diggy

>>151733624
Noone is familiar with the source of half the garbage LN adaptations either and they're still being watched.

I understand that there's not much to talk about but the show was also not rated/watched/downloaded by a lot of people.

>>151733624
Am I the only one with the suspicion that the second season won't be nearly as good?

First one had the period drama thing going for it very hard. Characters were also pretty good archetypes. Both of its strengths are nowhere to be seen here. Cautiously hopeful.

>>151733654
DEEN is savior of anime. Shut you're trap.

If this show were a live action it would get exposed harder than Pep Guardiola.

Looks like gay shit.

>>151733692
>Noone is familiar with the source of half the garbage LN adaptations either and they're still being watched.

There's usually a pretty sizable number of posters in announcement threads for pretty much every recent shounen/seinen LN adaptation since a lot of these LNs are getting manga adaptations as well.

And let's be honest here, Konatsu aside there isn't any easily shillable girls for people to make /e/ or /c/ tier threads about and all the homo shit stays in their own, Rakugo-unrelated threads. See >>151733781 .

>>151733723
I agree. I'm a little nervous that the yakuza story will get in the way too much and if so will likely get Konatsu involved which is a plotline I really don't care to explore. I don't know anything about the source so maybe someone can tell me I'm wrong.

I really like the focus on rakugo and its need to evolve as an art, so hopefully neo-Sukeroku is a good MC.

>>151733490
It was boring.

Perfect for the "intellectuals" to wave their superiority wang around but nowhere near appealing enough for the mainstream audience.

>>151733490
It wasn't really that great. Not bad but like, hardly something people ought to care about. Certainly not AOTY.

Wasn't AOTY for me, but it was best of its season. I enjoyed the comedy and hope that DEEN doesn't fuck up season 2 like they tend to do.

>>151733490

I marathoned this specifically so I could watch the second season, which I knew was coming out soon. This show is super comfy and does a great job at making the characters feel like real people. I remember watching the first episode, getting engrossed in the Rakugo performance that happens halfway through, and then not realizing the episode was actually a double episode until it was over.

>>151733954

Is this gay?

>>151733750
I've heard people say this about 91 Days too and I still don't understand the logic about how something being adapted into an anime makes it more loved. If anything, it's the opposite in most cases.

If they don't they'll just be missing one of the best shows in the past 5 years.


I'd argue one of if not DEEN's best show.

>>151735029
No but there's bromance.

>>151735326
Which would be the other shows you'd consider one DEENs best then

I'm not sure what /a/ actually likes about this series beyond josei being trendy on here at the moment.

Why didn't they have an enka OP or ED for it?

It would have fit it perfectly.

I'm hyped for part 2, though I have my doubts that it will live up to the standard set by S1 (which was my AOTY). If Deen can make S2 as good as S1 was, then Rakugo will rank alongside Shirobako and Madoka as an AOTD contender.

I'm not going to lie to you /a/, I dropped this on the first episode after laughing my ass off.

When main girl comes in and does her "impression" or what the fuck ever it is, I literally started dying of laughter. That cheesy music combined with her hilarious face, oh god was it great.

Whew. Had to get it off my chest.

It's just the first episode with a few extra scenes.

Same. OP needs to stop being a faggot and learn that these sorts of opening posts always invite shitposting.

Worst thing about anime and those who watch it is that it seems like literally noone seems to be interested in the shows from a directional standpoint.

Because in that respect Rakugo is easily a 10/10, it's so well directed, and noone gives a flying fuck. I fucking hate /a/, why the fuck am i here?
