"A 20th Century Story of Storytelling, Love and Death."
A finest animated story about complicated lives of three passionate Rakugo artists. Excellent immersion into Rakugo -- traditional Japanese art of verbal storytelling. Great show through and through. (Both seasons tell continuous story.)
Unusually rich vocabulary -- you are guaranteed to learn some new words.

"Even a thief has his reasons."
What will thinking that do for you?
When a woman falls in love with someone or something, it shouldn't be painful.
You must not die before I do.
Time passed, without mercy.
There was no stopping the heartless flow of time.
There is no point in being healthy if he's not here.
In a world overflowing with entertainment, I want to create a path for Rakugo to survive properly.
The art of Rakugo is about creating empathy. It is not about making people laugh. Empathy don't change, no matter the age.
Have you heard of "the lifespan of culture"? They say that the lifespan of a piece of popular culture that requires no explanation is about fifty years. Even if it survives past then, it stops being an art form for the masses. Yet Rakugo's lasted for three hundred years, and it still pulls in the general public.
You're so full of energy today, you're making me tired.
You need to start facing your past. Don't cut yourself off from it, embrace it. Never forget your sins.
There is nothing sexy about people with nothing to hide.
Being human means never getting things just the way you want them.
It's said that "In a world full of falsehoods, the charm of a child remains the one consistent truth."
