The Way of the Househusband

This may not be for everyone but I absolutely loved it!! Relatable, hilarious and way too short! I need more episodes right now!

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 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 didn't expect much, so I got really surprised because I've laugh a lot. It's fun to watch and very fast (just 5 episodes), it leaves me wanting more.

Conclusion: at least, give it a try!

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.
