| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Damn, Moguro is kind of an asshole, but I guess he gives people their dreams for a certain amount of time before destroying their lives XD |

| Absolutely love this show. So glad there's a new version of this. Simple, fun and has educational values :) Can't wait to see what other short stories or case files they come up with. |
 |
| Oh wow, I wasn't expecting this to be a full-length show |
| The episodic format is great for this. I can see myself not getting bored of this. The second case was really harsh. The women has a huge problem caused by shopping addiction and she gets fucked completely by the end, just look at her. She didn't abide by the rules though so this is technically her fault, she went too far with what she had. First case was also the same formula. The guy has a boring life and gets the chance to have a woman for himself, yet she is not the same beautiful one at night when he has time to come. He got exposed as well since he got out of work and stayed with the girl and got drunk. |
| Having seen parts of the original, I sort of know whats going to happen in each episode here... I dunno, it feels like I've seen everything before. |

| Warau Salesman.... Sounds like a horror story lel |
| Be thankful for the wisdom granted to you. |
| I never seen the original anime, but I'm liking this reboot. Had a great start for a seemingly episodic series. It's a shame it's underrated and being rated a bit low. |
 |
| I had really been looking forward to this, and it did not disappoint. Seeing this art style is so refreshing. Also, I noticed this in the background.  Thinking about it, the way this show goes and the consequences of the people, it reminds me of Jigoku Shoujo. |

| Fun show, it has a very classic vibe which is a given. i will definitely keep watching. |
| Is it safe to watch this without having watched the original? I imagine it is given the seemingly episodic nature but just making sure. |
| it was a great episode. but the art of the character in first part could be nicer. would be looking forward to the show |
 |
| Interesting concept and decent show, but I don't think the stories will stay interesting for long. OP was amazing though, love that song. |
| This first episode was pretty good, let's see if it keeps interesting for the whole season tho, I'm not a fan of the art style, but well, it's an old series so I can understand. The opening is my favorite so far in this season. |
 |
| Holy shit, this OP is amazing. Early candidate for best OP of Spring 2017 for sure. |
| Looks good, laughing salaryman indulging people and they ruin themselves by falling into temptation. Lured by hostess club and that poor lady :( |
 |
| Going in to this knowing nothing and with a Fukuzou quickly explaining who he is and what he does to his customers who are lonely seemed very quirky. The OP made me acknowledge that this show will not take it self seriously but it doesn’t mean that the episode does have deeper meaning. The episode is split in to two parts, and we see him dealing with two customers experiencing some sort of issue and he tries to help them to have a better outcome. There were fantastic animation throughout the episode, very whacky in some places and out of the ordinary but I would say the first customer character design didn’t suit well with me and I was relieved further on in the episode I could cope with the designs. This is only my opinion and you might not care on how they are portrayed off the wall in a comical sense. What I have learned with my experience is not to judge by pictures you see or the first minutes in to the episode before making up your mind. I am glad I watched all of it and I didn’t drop it.

| Love the opening! Is so gooood! I was kinda sad for the girl in the second case, I mean, she didn't follow the rules, but, wow, that was harsh XD Moguro is creepy and amusing at the same time. AND HIS LAUGH OH HOHOHOHOHOHOHO~~~~ Really interesting! |
 |
| This was a pleasant surprise to have a show from 1989 readopted into a full 23 min episode show. I love win Waru gives a final judgement of sorts and i also love the comicy art style. The OP and ED have cool styles to them. Im looking forward to the next episode! |
| What. |

| Why did she get sooooo old? |
| ~♥~ Otaku + Otaku - Otaku = Otaku ~♥~ |
| I liked the first two skits. Definitely a refreshing anime with cool art and a neat premise. My only worry is whether or not it will get old after a few episodes. |
| Even though I looked forward to this very much, I can see how this will get boring real quick. |
| I like the plot and the mc but I don't know if I'll be able to enjoy the art style. I like the mc design but the other characters look awful D: Since the concept is very simple I'm surprise the episodes are 20 min long, imo this should be a 5/10 min series :/ |
| Damn, that was actually pretty fucked up. |
| There were some really cool shots in this anime. Fukuzou is so mysterious, wonder if anything will be explained about him as time goes on. Also, that ending was creepy. |
 |
| So previous series from 90s was same thing for over 100 episodes? |
 |
| I really would have preferred if they kept the episodes at 10 minutes in length like the original had. Even at 10 minutes it felt like the show could drag on at times. Now having them be full length it is going to be more of a drag. purplepinapples said: Having seen parts of the original, I sort of know whats going to happen in each episode here...

It's pretty much the same stories but a little more modern. bastek66 said: So previous series from 90s was same thing for over 100 episodes? The previous show had episodes that were only 10 minutes long and told just one story each. It seems in this new version they're going to combine two stories making it into a full length show. |

| Sorry but I don't understand that shit. I see people getting bullied, and a dickhead driving them into further despair in a situation they can't possibly come back from. Very educational right, yeah, sure. Are you learning to be an asshole from that ? It's about the same level of morality than Kurayami Santa, twice deeper into the crap compared to Jigoku Shoujo. |

Very educational right, yeah, sure. Are you learning to be an asshole from that ? It's about the same level of morality than Kurayami Santa, twice deeper into the crap compared to Jigoku Shoujo. For a guy who doesn't want money, his victims end up in debt(first part)... lol Ironically, the characters with best moral values tend to end up in shit which is realistic unfortunately, that's some twisted message that this anime delivers. I'm with you, this straight up teaches you, "Be a dick or a bully so that nobody takes advantage of you and you'll be good, be a good person and you'll be exploited and end up in despair for the rest of your life." |
| Moguro is a dick, plain and simple. And watching idiots ruin themselves is sweet schadenfreude. I'll enjoy it for what it is - no deep morality bullshit for me! Also, I find the old-school artstyle comfy and nostalgic, it's like watching something from the Doraemon era |

| >6 on MAL MAL with the muy mal taste as usual This was great. |
| Maybe it would have gotten a higher rating if it was a kawaii monster girl "salesman" instead. |
|
| Love the OP so much! This episode is ok.. The art style remind me of other classic anime like kaibutsu-kun. |
| Exactly what I had expected after few eps,except that it is 20mn long and still focused on 80s "peoples types".I know salarymen and OLs are still athing today but their predominance (at least in media) is over so I expected other types of characters to "update" the series like they did with technology: here we have weird 2010s elements in an 80s setting. Also, the heroin looked pretty alien in the anime. @purplepinapples @TFO1013 Doesn't the digital drawings make the "caricatural" style look uglier than in the cellulos animation? 3/5 @BDT87 Would you mind giving me examples of the noticeably well animated sequences of the episode please? edit @BDT87 Oh, right ! I noticed it too (particularly since this wasn't in the older adaptation). By the way, you shouldn't say "animation style" when you are referring to something else than the moving style, when I read you it seems more like character-design. And be aware that the thing you dislike here is probably what will be the most prominent since this is the manga's style. @ramenshoujo What era is Doraemon's?For the drawings, it's simply because it's based on a manga by Fujiko F Fujio, one half of the Doraemon's creators. @sefferia_ellis Isn't kaibutsu-kun from Fujiko Fujio? @TheOmnipotent Will be the same thing over again, repeated twice per eps, unless they go for a few connected cases(ex:man⇒wife) @keepwatching Stop watching if you aren't ready for Doraemon's style. About the "less mature audience" targeted, It looks more like it's intended for 50ish people. |

| @Rei366 Yeah, it definitely loses some of its creepiness... the grainy look of the older cell animation was great in the original. |
| Haha I am start to like this show <3 looking forward on the next episode |
Rei366 said: @BDT87 Would you mind giving me examples of the noticeably well animated sequences of the episode please? Certainly, but let me just be clear I preferred part 2 of the episode animation style rather than the whacky style of part 1 of the episode. The mouth of that customer in my preference I don't personlly like that style. But what I was talking about was the 2 parts when the salesman shouts ドーン "BOOM", I thought that was animated rather well. |
| I liked this "episode" the second part in special,this is a manga of fujio,so i did not disappointment on relation to drawing style,Also I liked the OP theme. DarkFatalKnight said: Maybe it would have gotten a higher rating if it was a kawaii monster girl "salesman" instead. Heh. |
 |
| the OP is really interesting |
 |
| Moguro laughs the same way as Mayuri Kurotsuchi/Freezia! 4/5. |
