I'll be honest this show looks kinda interesting but I have one major problem with it
Rakugo sucks
Fuck rakugo
This isn't some cultural differences shit either, I hate vaudeville and musicals and most shit that is done on a live stage that isn't music or stand-up comedy either. Especially improv.
Am I overestimating the prominence of rakugo in the show, or should I just forget about it?
There's a shit ton of Rakugo in it.
You should still give it a try anyway, there's usually plenty of drama surrounding everything that make the performances very interesting to watch.
Just watch the first episode, it's 45 mins long and does a great job selling the show. If you don't like it then you can leave it at that.

Have you actually listened to any Rakugo?
If Yota's performance doesn't make you audibly laugh, then you can probably dismiss the show as not for you.
There is a lot of Rakugo. You are overestimating how much you need to enjoy rakugo itself to enjoy how it's presented in the show though. Half the time I don't really think the stories are funny or interesting, but the visual and sound direction is so good it basically forces you to feel entertained. The instant that jazz kicks in I'm glued to the screen, it doesn't even matter what they're saying.
Rakugo is a big element of the show, but I really enjoy it even though it was my first introduction to it. Just give it a try, you homo.

There's a lot of Rakugo in this, you're not overestimating anything. Thing is though, the Rakugo is not only how the characters perfuming it grow and express themselves, it's also where some of the best performances are in terms of voice acting.
It's good stuff, man. And even if you hate Rakugo, you'll love every character too much to care. Watch the first season first, though, otherwise you won't get what the fuck is going on.
>you will never have a shinnosuke of your very own
I've heard good things about this, so I'm gonna start watching the first season. Is there a specific sub that's recommended or can I watch whatever?

Did you seriously laugh with that centuries old stale nip humor?

What makes you think that there is left a fansubber who translate this kind of show from the scratch?
>>153364592
I wouldn't say so. I have never laughed during the performances, merely smiled (and sometimes not even that), but I still love the show because it's just so well-done. It's just that nip humor can be a bit hard to swallow.
