Synopsis

Once a terrifying yakuza, "Immortal Dragon" Tatsu now continues to conquer the challenges of mundane life. While his beloved wife Miku works, Tatsu equips his trusted apron, takes care of their finances, hunts down the biggest store sales, and learns the way of a true househusband with the help of the neighborhood wives. Although Tatsu abandoned the life of violence, his former colleagues and enemies reappear around every corner—but this time only as rivals in homemaking ventures. Surrounded by a myriad of chores to occupy him, it seems that no matter how tough things get, Tatsu's undying perseverance prevails as he gives his tasks his absolute best. [Written by MAL Rewrite]

Yes, our favorite gangsta is back! Another season of Gokushufudou. And of course, doesn't change much from what we had before... First of all, one thing that remains and I absolutely love is that the jokes are still very good, every single one of them lands perfectly and makes me laugh hard. Those awkward situations where two characters come close to each other with angry faces ALWAYS gets me. It's amazing due to the context they are in. So, you are asking me right now: "Why don't you give a higher score for this anime?" Well...because there is a issue that is pretty relevant and if you haven't figured out:The animation...or the lack of it. The way they did the adaptation of the Gokushufudou's manga is terrible. I can't emphasize enough how awful it is. Makes me sad and I mean it. It's like they took the manga and made it on movement. That's it. They couldn't think a better or more interesting way to adapt than just make those black and white pages get colored and with movement...lame as fuck. I don't know if they did that on purpose or because they had a really low-budget but this kind of adaptation COMPLETELY DESTROYS the immersion on some moments that were supposed to be funny. When I see them being static with 0 fluid scenes and they only moving their mouth while talking I can't think anything else other than: They could made one of the most successful comedy anime of all time. (a enormous waste of potential) Imagine if this anime had a animation'a quality like Kaguya-sama or even Saiki-Kusuo (isn't that good but far better than this), would be crazy and way more enjoyable, hands down. And yes, animation's quality is a big deal when you talk about some specific anime (those of comedy) because they actually benefit from it when it's a well done job. But it is what it's. What we can do is pretend that is okay and accept it... Talking about other production parts of this piece of media, the sound area is easily tier GOD and I say that only because the VA's fits perfectly and the voice of the main character is LEGENDARY. It's almost like he was born to do this. (Tsuda, Kenjirou: I love your work with all my heart!!!) Also, the opening and ending are catchy and cool to listen to. Not a single complain about it. Sound 10/10. The characters, on the other hand, aren't anything special, but is not a problem since everyone of them makes me laugh and I think is great. They are believable The protagonist is hilarious and anytime he is on focus is amazing. 7 out of 10. Well, I guess that is not much more I can say about this anime. At the end of the day, Gokushufudou is the reminder of how a great manga can be totally disgraced and disrespected with such a lazy effort adaptation. Gokushufudou deserved more, so much more than what it has received. It's okay and all, you can watch with no problem, but it's not special. Should be... This anime gets a 6 out of 10. Maybe one day they will adapt it better...let's hope for that.

"Just the way of the Househusband." (Barely any spoiler) The Way of The Househusband(Or Gokushufudou) is back with part 2 of the series! We finally returned to Tatsu and his common life as a househusband. As usual, the wackiness and craziness of the town are apparent in the second part. It's almost as if it never left, though that's not much to say because it didn't feel like it left. Let's begin with the review. Story: 5.5/10 Pretty mid, just the same as Part 1. That's not to say it's bad as we can see that Tatsu has gained some friends like that weird weeb cashier, Bob, etc. Each episodeis episodic, since there is no continuity in most episode's you can watch whichever episode you want without feeling like you missed something. Though that's only for Part 2, Part 1 is a different case as that is the setup for the series. That is to say, Part 2 is the same as Part 1 so yeah it's mid. Art: 7/10 It's not better than the manga but, it does fit in with the comedy aspects of the show. Sometimes even the stiffness makes me laugh(In a good way), for me, it was a good fit for the show. Though imagining it in animation would be pretty funny. You could say this is a motion manga and I would agree it is, most likely Netflix branded it as Anime. I think overall nothing too great and nothing too bad, so let's move on to... Sound: 7/10 The OST's fit in with the comedic styles of the show, sometimes even having some badass OSTs. The SFX are so over the top it fits perfectly! The Opening and Ending songs by Uchikubi Gokumon Doukoukai are nice, fitting in tone with the Opening fitting the craziness of the show while the ED maintaining a sense of calm and chill. Overall it's very nice and fitting! So let's move on to... Character: 7/10 Each of them has its charms and characteristics. Like the neighbour ladies that Tatsu hangs with, or Bob hell even the police! Many characters have their different weaknesses in the show. For Tatsu, it's his wife and his over the top cleaning habits. Masa is just a dumbass. Miku's weakness is cute things. There is a lot in the characters in this show that I usually don't see from any other. Each character are likeable and funny to watch when they interact with each other! Lastly, we have... Enjoyment: 8/10 It's hella funny! It never gets boring with Tatsu and his life. I wish there were more comedies like this! It gets things right and I never once got bored! So yeah, I will be waiting for the day when Part 3 comes out! Overall: 7/10 It's an alright Part 2! I think it could use some work on some areas but overall a really alright Part 2. Go watch it already! Thank's for reading my review!
