Commenter

Commenter

"that tension is totally useless. no way you're winning anyway." lmaooooo 💀

Commenter

the anime original stuff actually gets the manga so well!!

Commenter

s o s t y l i s h ✨

Commenter

disguising so nobody recognizes u during the tournament is actually big brain

Commenter

wait u gotta submit your bit beforehand for student rakugo tourneys?!

Commenter

teacher actually showing up ties everything together so perfectly ngl

Commenter

what are u even doing rn lol

Commenter

u just know they're gonna drop a "disqualify everyone who performed today" line

Commenter

is it just me or does isshiki-shisho look like he's actually great at cooking? (a

Commenter

so sweet of him... even tho u know he doesnt actually mean it lol

Commenter

karashi is such a little edgy nerd tbh ~

Commenter

J u g e m u - c h a n 🥺

Commenter

wait pretty sure karashi and akane didnt interact here in the manga?

Commenter

bro is basically the tezuka osamu type who's super nice to noobs and brutal to pros lol

Commenter

jagged teeth is a brand new rakugo bit huh

Commenter

wonder if there are other relatives named stuff like "wasabi" somewhere out there

Commenter

issei's comment was basically just pandering to the kids ngl 😂

Commenter

"im gonna show u a brand new rakugo! 😬"

Commenter

saying jugemu-chan out loud is weirdly cute, the excommunication geezer is literally un-cute no matter what......

Commenter

chuo-tei glasses is such a lowkey iconic mob character lol, karashi starting shit with akane in the green room and then that weird gust of wind when he takes the stage, started cuz he thought it looked cool or what

Commenter

kaisei looking gorgeous as always ♡ gorgeous voice ♡ u can totally hear his inner thoughts thru that polite smile and its wild

Commenter

no matter how it looks, the core spirit of rakugo hasn't changed since forever ig.

Commenter

guess rakugo isnt just about classical stuff huh. this hits way different, actually makes u realize how fun rakugo is

Commenter

looks decent enough if u wanna pander to zoomers i guess? ;( ˙꒳˙ ;):

Commenter

ahh so adapting it to modern times cuz u actually understand the bones of the story, makes it way easier for modern folks to get the joke and laugh 🤔

Commenter

karashi's rakugo is way too good... super easy to follow, or rather he makes it easy for u to understand. love how the silhouettes move around during his bit too.

Commenter

karashi is insane for this ~ adapting tenshiki like that is genius

Commenter

the absolute weirdo/maverick of student rakugo spawned by this era

Commenter

i guess if u take tailoring to the audience and being considerate to the absolute max, u end up right here lol.

Commenter

using BM for the punchline to match tenshiki is actually 300iq lmao

Commenter

the green room tv is literally at the same height as karashi's face, and akane's just looking up at it. karashi is genuinely so tall wtf.

Commenter

bro really tried to fake it lol 💀

Commenter

stop shaking that ass wtf wwww

Commenter

gets laughs and the structure is solid but... wonder how the old heads are gonna take all the sex jokes... gonna be interesting to watch 🤔

Commenter

winning the whole thing on ur first try ever

Commenter

performing 'idol is terrifying' by reading the room and adapting 'manju kowai'?! absolute genius

Commenter

karashi's crazy confidence and unshakeable ego really do stem from that huge self-belief he mentioned earlier huh

Commenter

sasuga karashi-sensei (cant call him shisho just yet lol)

Commenter

a closet at home stuffed entirely with giant turds

Commenter

the visual for karashi's performance in the anime karashi cup. even tho the hair and outfits change, every single character has karashi's face cuz his role-switching skills are still mid, which is hilarious. makes u hyped for later when his skills get better and the characters actually start looking different ~

Commenter

chasing what the audience wants and just giving it to them, that's nerimaya karashi's style. entertainment for the masses before traditional rakugo. apparently he doesnt even wanna go pro lol

Commenter

so glad they buffed karashi's rakugo performance!! huge thanks to eguchi takuya-san as well......

Commenter

nerimaya karashi's domain expansion party had me dying lmao

Commenter

no way, they even animated the punchline that wasnt in the manga...!!

Commenter

such a chill and gentle MC. love to see it, kaisei-san

Commenter

im a massive sucker for when edgy characters like this gotta go all out, hyped for what's next tbh

Commenter

sasuga issei-shisho, keeping up appearances. even after tearing him down he still makes sure to give credit where its due

Commenter

issei-shisho couldnt laugh at it himself, but he still gave him props for actually making the audience laugh

Commenter

"well he definitely got a reaction. great timing and angles." "honestly speaking, i couldnt laugh."

Commenter

thought for sure he was gonna trash him way harder lol

Commenter

harsh critique sure, but for issei to actually show interest... 🪭

Commenter

a female rakugo storyteller has entered the chat

Commenter

so it's karashi -> hikaru -> akane huh. this is getting... 👀

Commenter

the way they handled modern adapted rakugo and the flow of the story was actually super entertaining

Commenter

wait that's a seiyuu... what bit are they gonna do... and it ends right here this week... gonna be stressing all week for next ep!! when's akane's jugemu gonna be, like two weeks from now?

Commenter

polar opposite of akane, but karashi was so good 😊 next up is hikaru♪ cant wait 😆

Commenter

oh wow what a mild critique. thought for sure he was gonna be like "lol u thought i went soft" trad style... maybe?

Commenter

fr tho thought issei-shisho was gonna tear him a new one for breaking tradition 😂www

Commenter

i mean kuwata keisuke is literally out here singing about manju kowai right now, karashi can't just be like "manju in this economy??" lol

Commenter

got the laughs but makes u question what rakugo even is. still, this ep slapped once again, manju kowai is timeless

Commenter

reminds me ages ago when NHK did a rakugo tournament and out of the 4 finalists only one did modern original rakugo, killed it with the crowd, and just straight up won lol

Commenter

taking their time and giving a whole ep to one person was great. gotta let us actually listen to the rakugo since that's what akane-banashi is all about

Commenter

karashi out here modernizing tenshiki. based it on some old-school medical term for farts lol. hikaru's next week, hope we get a behind-the-scenes look at how takahashi rie prepped for the rakugo part soon

Commenter

him getting all cocky cuz he got a little praise was lowkey adorable 🪭 his voice sounded so happy ~

Commenter

eguchi takuya-san was unreal!! karashi was literally 100% karashi!

Commenter

great pacing, u could totally tell just from snippets why the crowd was eating it up. issei-shisho's unreadable expression tho...

Commenter

im down for modern style rakugo like that tbh. tho part of me feels like they should keep it in a totally separate category from classical stuff

Commenter

karashi's rakugo was way more fleshed out than the manga and it was super fun♪ nice seeing misan in there too 😁

Commenter

karashi's rakugo was so damn good i literally laughed out loud! cant wait for next week either 🪭✨

Commenter

after teaching us all about classical stuff in the eps leading up to this, doing an adapted bit makes it way easier to follow and 10x more fun

Commenter

"not getting it just sucks" i feel that... i feel that so hard karashi... (which is exactly why everyday is a grind of studying, trial and error, and trying new things lol)

Commenter

absolute god-tier hype!! karashi changing his rakugo bit right on the spot to match modern vibes and get those laughs! even though the anime made the characters look similar to help us out, his role-switching was just subtle enough where u could still tell it was karashi, absolute perfection! eguchi takuya is so damn cool!!

Commenter

man what an uneasy way to end the ep ww hyped for what comes next tho! debating when to finally pick up the manga vols ww also, i lost the kuwata keisuke concert lottery (cry)

Commenter

as expected, today's main event was nerimaya karashi (voiced by eguchi takuya-san) 🪭

Commenter

karashi's modern spin on it was crazy good...!! super easy to understand, hilarious, and u could really feel the effort put into it 🤝🏻 his character voices were top tier too ~

Commenter

got completely sucked into karashi-kun's "if it gets laughs it's good right?" worldview (；ᵕ；) his charisma is insane! brb going to rewatch the whole thing right now 🪭💛💛💛
