Šówa genroku rakugo šindžú - Sukeroku futatabi hen

As expected, this anime series has easily maintained all the qualities I previously enjoyed and has gained more intensity in terms of content. Thus, Descending Stories: Showa Genroku Rakugo Shinju (I am speaking generally about both seasons) has become a real treat that even the most discerning viewers of dramatic anime series are going to appreciate. It is also a perfect introduction to the art of Rakugo itself. The beauty of which has to be understood by anyone with the minimum cultural sensitivity. I can appreciate all the enthusiasm of some reviewers and many others on various anime forums because this really deserves nothing but five stars, in my opinion, for its depth (of story and emotion), acting, visuals, and soundtrack. This is art which is about art. (27.03.2017)
