Fans are talking about Akane-banashi #12 — here's what they had to say.
Fr though, seeing that insane veteran VA lineup show up at the very end felt like some kind of final boss raid in an RPG.

such a good anime-original scene tho
Commenter
"pardon the intrusion." "if you're here to intrude, you can leave." "alrighty... wild they actually skipped this part in the main run lol"
Commenter
shiguma-shisho is genuinely such a great guy... so cool
Commenter
bro really turns into a chill old dude the second he's off the stage
Commenter
gonna miss kuwata keisuke's op, loved the visuals too. that sappohare part in the chorus is top tier fr
Commenter
what a charmer!!! absolutely love it!!!!
Commenter
jumbo's actually got PTSD from getting rekt by that so cant even blame him lol
Commenter
time to take down the old man's nemesis!
Commenter
"went from being 'a rakugoka's daughter' to just 'a rakugoka'." dropped so casually but it's the absolute truth, love that line so much
Commenter
kinda hilarious how the final boss is actually super disliked within the industry ngl
Commenter
oh right masaaki-shisho showed up here (sekisan voicing chocho gives me major showa genroku rakugo shinju vibes, love it)
Commenter
knew seki tomokazu was gonna show up somewhere since he did rakugo voice acting in rakugo shinju and is super tight with tv asahi lol
Commenter
girl's actually getting worried about her lmao
Commenter
the rakugo association members looking like a literal evil syndicate exec meeting made me laugh ngl
Commenter
all these legendary veteran voice actors making the jump manga's boss villains look like a mob syndicate, seki-san finally showing up here!!
Commenter
akane actually changed someone's life. she's a legit pro entertainer now fr
Commenter
glad we got to hear iwashimizu-sensei's voice right up to the finale 🥰 masami isesaki's voice is literally god tier 🥰 so wholesome she finally came around to support akane too 🥹✨ all because akane worked her ass off and delivered
Commenter
seemed like they were complaining about shiguma-shisho's methods earlier, but turns out the final boss has his own haters too lol
Commenter
true tho, if some random girl suddenly shoots to fame out of nowhere, people are gonna be like "uh, who??"
Commenter
well knowing akane she'll probably just brush the final boss off like it's nothing so we gucci
Commenter
but for a rakugo performer, this is literally just the starting line fr
Commenter
shiguma-shisho's thinking back too. when akane wasn't even an official disciple yet, he taught her like she was his own granddaughter with so much warmth
Commenter
pretty rare to see people casually drinking bottled beer at home these days tho
Commenter
YATSU-GO-NAME DROP LET'S GOOOO━━━━(ﾟ∀ﾟ)━━━━!!
Commenter
looking back at it in anime form, doing 'jugemu' (naming and the parents' wishes) right before getting into apprenticeships and stage names is just such a clean, well-crafted setup
Commenter
IS THIS A SEASON 2 FLAG!?
Commenter
2nd season is gonna be the apprentice training arc right?! it has to be ffs?!?!?
Commenter
so wholesome having the senior bros throw a graduation celebration 🥹 drums callback too 📦 what a damn good finale ❣️ the rakugo association had a stacked af voice cast too, wonder if we're getting s2 🤭✨ cant wait〜
Commenter
and it's over...... but these past 3 months have been an absolute blast! so thankful i found akane-banashi 🙏
Commenter
akane-banashi... wanna read the manga but isnt it like over 20 volumes? 😅 kinda lazy to buy 20 volumes now but i still wanna read it 😂 need more content
Commenter
she's got great senior bros, but they're *too* nice, kinda wonder if she'll actually survive the absolute bs of apprentice training. power harassment aside, the sexual harassment part worries me tbh
Commenter
SEASON 2 LET'S F***ING GOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!! thank you so much based studio!!!!!!
Commenter
cutting it off at such a ridiculously neat spot :( thought it was gonna end on *that* scene...
Commenter
s2 in january next year? way sooner than expected, but i guess that's pretty normal for tv asahi anime huh
Commenter
oh, akane-banashi is getting a season 2. lets go! definetely gonna watch it once it's out 😙~🎶
Commenter
so good❗️ got into this through the anime, but feel like i actually got a glimpse into how deep rakugo is 🤭 hyped for s2 too 👏
Commenter
the pacing was good enough to wrap it up in just 1 season, but obviously we all wanna see what happens next lol
Commenter
akane-banashi season 2 coming this january...!! wonder how far they're gonna adapt... 🤔 up to drawing tea? cant wait! also, why is shinichi hatori doing voice acting in the very last episode lol
Commenter
felt like a "part 1 end" kind of finale, but glad they already have the next part ready. sensei was too cute so i hope she shows up again
Commenter
rakugo association pretty much confirms anime s2 right~ thank goodness 👏 my absolute fav moment is issho-shisho meeting kaisei, super hyped 😭😭
Commenter
season 2 thank you so much!! figured it would happen, but 6 months later is way sooner than expected. wonder what the op/ed is gonna be...
Commenter
binged every ep as it aired and s2 announced! the anime quality was so high even non-rakugo fans were praising it tbh. super hyped
Commenter
even as someone who doesnt know shit about rakugo, i still had a blast. you could totally feel through the screen what it's like performing in front of a huge crowd
Commenter
SHIT YEAH‼️ if it just ended here, maikeru-niisan woulda looked like a total 🫢, so what a relief. obviously they gotta keep going up to *that* part right?
Commenter
got the 765 president and the hatoboshi principal, plus "doctor" hiroshi, and seki-san back at it again after showa genroku rakugo shinju. such a god-tier voice cast worthy of big names. and having little tamura in the mix gives me major nostalgia vibes. nakamura-sensei must be smiling in the box seats
