The Ingenuity of the Househusband

"The Way of The Househusband" and "The Ingenuity of the Househusband" are not the same story. One of them (the way) is about the life of an ex-yakuza (Tatsu, cartoon character) and the other is about the life of Kenjiro Tsuda who is an actor who gives his voice to Tatsu (former yakuza, cartoon character). Tsuda is the Man 👍

For the first time in my life I've had an urge to clean my house. Actor does as good job as sejuu in anime. Tips are very well explained and everybody will find something interesting as show focuses on various household tasks. I am very grateful for this short and hoping for more to come in the future.

I think this show is amusing, but for me it lacks the comedic punch of the anime series it is based on. That show, The Way Of The Househusband, is about an ex-yukaza head mobster who retires and becomes the scariest and most efficient househusband on the block. This live action show lacks the context for me, as this is just a regular dude, to find it funny. Like I said, amusing and fun. But I'm not in love with it.

I hate to compare, but if seen the cartoon, it really brings out the yakuza of the main character who is trying very hard to be a househusband. That is the core of the joke.

As for these short live action pieces, I wish they wouldn't take it so serious. The main character doesn't look or feel like a yakuza at all. He just looks like a very serious guy who is in to minimalism and cleans the house neatly. The creators of this series should of went over the top with it. They should of exaggerate the character. I want to like it, but I don't feel it.

I don't think the point of this live action version is meant to include the yakuza character part, or the full humour. It's like a program channels show between longer shows, light hearted and mostly full of household tips.

The best part is the music, comedic timing, the actor and his beautiful home and garden. It will inspire you to take time doing chores, and do them with pride and be able to laugh at yourself for being a perfectionist and for the trauma felt when something goes wrong after being so attentive!
