La Voie du tablier

I logged into my 6 year account just to write this review. This is such a stupid show but god dammit do I respect it haha. 5 eps probably 10 minutes of actual content. Such a dumb premise but I laughed all the way through. I think netflix did this as an april fools not sure yet.

This whole thing is so ridiculous, and so japanese, that I don't even try to explain it for those who don't like it, why it is awesome.

I rarely write a review but this little gem fell into my lap quite unexpectedly. The animation is almost crude, but the story line is clever. Unless you have a basic understanding of Japanese culture, norms and the highly traditional gender roles that define Japan, some viewers may miss or not appreciate the many cheeky and sly cultural and social references in the story. Beyond that, the implausible story of a former, infamous yakuza boss turned dutiful househusband in Japan, with occasional outbursts of his former violent self and past life, is truly entertaining and hilarious. The title alone hooked me in from the very beginning. For those of you who like your humor cheeky, quirky and a little this side of whacky, this is for you.

This has either got to be the stupidest or the most brilliant anime I have ever seen.

I never read the manga, so I can't say if the story is any good. However, the anime is hilarious, once you get past the non-traditional anime style and very short episodes.

The idea of a former yakuza becoming a househusband has a lot of potential. A lot depends, however, on the reactions of the supporting characters, including somehow the family cat.

I'm not sure about this series being able to go on longer and continue to hold viewers' interest, but at least the anime version is a lot better than the live-action one.

This is a nice chill anime you can watch on Netflix when your eating or something. It's not that deep but it's funny and light-hearted.
