Sakura Quest 1 Maid Dragon 13 Yeah, this last episode was surprisingly unsubtle, even for a show about a dragon acting as a live-in maid. Rakugo was still best of last season for me.

I was thinking of that, but they have lived to regret their decisions so far, which isn't always the case in The Twilight Zone.

Warau Salesman New 1 I expected a short, but that was pretty good. Like those Twilight Zone episodes where someone makes a deal with the devil, and regrets it.

I like Zoroku. Sana is okay.

The booty was nice, but I think the butthole ended up being shopped.

So, I finished all the main endings (A-E), and this game was fucking amazing. Still working on a few quests I missed the first time around, but I probably won't 100% everything in the game.

While your points make logical sense with regards to these characters, it still feels a bit weird to me, especially how Higuchi brought the topic up.

I was too excited from the episode and forgot.

If they'd dropped that conversation, they might have had some time to show Konatsu performing just a bit of rakugo.
-
Like rakugo, it relies very, very heavily on puns. I think about half the episodes have more liberal subs that try to preserve the spirit of the jokes, and the other half is much more literal, and not quite as amusing.

"The Zoo" is one of the few rakugo stories performed in English, and there are a few performances done by female rakugoka: "Time Noodles" is another, and we saw that in the show, too: And a somewhat abbreviated performance of "Jugemu" in the Osaka style of Rakugo: And with Konatsu fully embracing rakugo, this is clearly the lead-in to Joshiraku.

The conversation about Shinnosuke's lineage was, yeah, a little... hm... But the waterworks started when I saw Matsuda was still around. He was given a new purpose by the 7th, saw the 8th off to the other side at the end of his life, and watched the 9th become a true master to lead a new generation of rakugoka. Of course, it was also nice to see Yotaro-Sukeroku-Yakumo, Konatsu-Kosukeroku and Shinnosuke-Kikuhiko all embracing Rakugo, whether it's the classics or the new stories. And Konatsu's gotten even more sharp-tongued in her old age, but I was disappointed we didn't get to see any of her rakugo as a master. Also, I found this article, so there have been female rakugoka for about 16 years, and Shinnosuke had a smartphone, which places it a bit later, but maybe I just misinterpreted the timing. Shinnosuke's telling of "Hatsutenjin" was good, but I didn't feel a great emotional reaction to that story in particular (it was weird seeing him so dour when he was so hyper just last week). Yota's performance of "Shinigami" was powerful, and despite Yakumo's interruption, he gave a satisfying ending like a true performer. And I was worried he'd suffer the same fate as the 7th and 8th at the end, but thankfully that's not the case and he can continue leading rakugo to heights it hasn't seen in the previous 20 or so years. 16 years does seem like a long time to rebuild Uchikutei, but maybe it was a matter of funding to rebuild it just as it was in the past. So yeah, still an emotional episode, but didn't wreck me quite as bad as 11, and I would have like to see one last performance from Konatsu, but that went by so fast, so I don't know how they could have fit that in.

Orders from the Sentai flash sale?

Sir, I need to ask you to calm down.

I mean, there's also this stuff.

The BD looks brighter, but it doesn't look like any details have been washed out. If anything is, that might be a fair trade-off from the old DVD masters.

Why does Yasuomi Umetsu get work doing endings for all the shows I don't care about watching?
