昭和元禄落語心中
- Animation
- Drama
When a certain man is released from prison, he knows exactly where he's heading first. After falling in love with a traditional comic storyteller's rendition of the story called "Shinigami," he is determined to become his apprentice. The performer, Yakumo, has never taken an apprentice before, but to everyone's surprise, he accepts the eager ex-prisoner, nicknaming him "Yotaro." As Yotaro happily begins his new life, he meets others in Yakumo's life, including Yakumo's ward Konatsu. Konatsu was the daughter of a famous storyteller, and Yakumo took her in after her father's tragic death. Konatsu loved her father's storytelling, and would love to become a performer in her own right—but that path is not available for women.
Showa Genroku Rakugo Shinju is a drama anime that follows an ex-prisoner who becomes the apprentice of a legendary traditional comic storyteller. The series explores the art of rakugo (Japanese oral storytelling) and the relationships between master, apprentice, and the next generation of performers. Both seasons have concluded.
