This was as faultless as they come – subtle, emotional, and thoroughly entertaining. The only thing that dampens the mood is knowing that death and despair awaits us beyond the horizon.

Not enough anime focus on stories set in Japan during WWII, but more often than not those that do dip their toe into that era end up packing an emotional punch. Shouwa Genroku Rakugo Shinjuu is no exception, delivering a gorgeous depiction of the horrors of wartime and the trials it puts through everyday people who don’t deserve to suffer.

The key to successful storytelling is to deliver your words with a smile – yet the ability to have the audience in the palm of your hand is the absolute sign of success.

When people say things like: “They don’t make anime like they used to”, this is what they are referring to. I urge any anime fan, whether skeptical or content, to watch Shouwa Genroku Rakugo Shinjuu – this multi-award winning Showa period drama is something special, and it all kicks off with a 48-minute premiere that ends up feeling like a 3-hour movie.
