I really love how the 2D animation is done here The subtlety or the heaviness of the character’s movements has to be clearly differentiated in an art that can be as sublime as rakugo. I hope before the season ends, we get a full uninterrupted performance by Akane.

Getting bored of this show? Here’s Akane’s last eye contact to grab your attention.

Oh, this is a great episode. I’m confident this is a hidden gem of the season.

It’s clear to me that this show will keep a shounen-ish pace, which kinda reminds me of the early episodes of Chihayafuru S1. I don’t mind. Akane and Chihaya have very similar temperaments. Kyoji is a great teacher. The episode makes me think of the car-wash scene in Karate Kid.

Art style, character design, and general animation continue to be great.

Akane did very well with using her rakugo skills to bridge the language gap and get the point of the lesson across. As shown at the beginning, Akane know just enough to be dangerous and have a simplistic “do this and you’re an expert” outlook. I’ve been like that before, too.

Notes:

• All Rakugoka of the Arakawa lineage adopt show-names with the “Arakawa” surname. There’s a family dynamic going on, as evidence by Kyoji calling Akane an “imouto” (little sister) instead of kouhai.
• Crossing generations, a rakugoka can use their master’s name with a generation marker. In Showa Genroku Rakugo Shinju, Yakumo is in Generation VIII (hachidaime)

In case you didn’t know, “ahh” originated as an eye dialect form of “ass” representing a debuccalized pronunciation used in some dialects of AAVE, I think Southern dialects specifically — so “ahh” was not originally intended as a word replacement, any more than “ass” was intended as a word replacement of “arse”. Rather “ahh” was just a representation of how the word was pronounced by some people.

The problem is that probably most people online who use “ahh” instead of “ass” nowadays are either tu-vuo-falling Black people, or they find “ahh” inherently comical, or they’re using “ahh” to evade social media censorship bots.

I do find “ahh” inherently comical in this case.

Animal Farm ahh moment

More anime streaming in YouTube is a good thing, especially if it’s a Kirara anime.

I’m really not vibing with Qifrey’s VA.

Have you seen the English dub? I find it better.

So, he is a colossal titan in geopolitics, then.

the idea of going back to middle schooler with all the insight and confidence of an adult quite compelling.

tbf, that’s the appeal of adults who watch middle school/high school anime imo
