| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- That's a bombastic OST alright. As some have predicted (even myself), it's J.C.Staff imitating the manga's panels 1-for-1 in the exact order. It's quite the creative aesthetic to even go this far as a 100% perfect adaptation of the manga. Never get tired of Kenjiro Tsuda playing the villain character, he's so immersive even as Tatsu the Immortal Dragon, the former Yakuza character converted to a househusband. The segment with the animals...eh, nice to see...? Somehow, this Netflix anime adaptation managed to be just as fun as the manga, so that's a thing. |
 |
| There isn't really much to say about the animation, it's basically just a slideshow with manga panels. If we ignore that, my favorite part of the episode was Tatsu singing happy birthday to Miku. It actually made me laugh. The rest was underwhelming. |
| I sometimes forget to finish my sentences. |

Yup, its a good fit to the style and feel of the manga. Unfortunately the young battle shounen animation elitists that have swarmed into MAL the last couple of years are going to hate the artistic choice and downvote this into oblivion. |

| Being loyal to the manga went pretty far here. I've seen casual YouTube animatics that have more motion and movement then this. I was kind of funny seeing the fighting with Masa look the awkward way it did. I liked the cute cat adventures at the end. |
Ryuk is somewhat relatable |
| Well, the animation isn't the best, but you get used to it quickly, despite that, I really liked it :))) |
| Tsuda Kenjirou and Itou Shizuka playing the role of Tatsu and Miku, man this would have been so good if the animation wasn't so bad. I'll watch a few more episodes and see if I can get used to it or not.

| I guess it's okay if you like it for the motion manga setup, and it's just a small gag show, but I don't know, doesn't do anything for me compared to being actually animated. Did get a chuckle for him going to cut off his pinky for getting her a show she already has and then getting clotheslined out the window lol OP is solid too, but this is all I'm gonna watch. |
| The animation style sucks, I read that it was made on purpose somewhere but I want to shit on the director’s taste if they intentionally made it like this. The OP sounds weird but I think I’ll start to like it after a few episodes. VA’s were amazing and that’s the only good thing about it to be honest. This would’ve been unbearable if the VAs were bad as well. There were some really funny jokes and they made me laugh many times but they butchered such a great material. Kenjirou’s performance was amazing and will probably be the only good thing about this adaptation. |
 |
| Good manga but got adapted using a cheap animation budget... So disappointing... great voice acting of course since it's Kenjiro Tsuda~ Guess I'll postpone watching it till I'm on the mood. |

Or, maybe people just don't like it because it looks cheap and janky as hell? It also does the amazing artwork of the manga a disservice. |
 |
| So this isn't really an anime/animated series, it's a motion comic. Kinda worked in a meh kinda way, but given it's only five 'shorter than normal' episodes it feels like a cheap cash in on a popular series that doesn't have enough material for a full series. |

But look at how series that look "different! are treated around these parts? Remember Flowers of Evil? Was absolutely slaughtered. |

There's a difference between "looking like DS" and a literal slideshow. No one was expecting it to look absolutely amazing. We were just expecting, like, actual animation? Also, it being a deliberate choice doesn't make it good. |

|
| Ah yeah the animation could have been way better :( but at least it's fun |
 |
| We already know it'll be a slideshow since trailer get released. So, yeah, didn't surprise at all. |
 |
| Always great to see TsudaKen-san but especially in roles like this! Could I've a card please xD? Househusband sure sounds like a tough business, lol. I'm really curious how the Immortal Dragon and Miku-san got to know each other, hopefully there'll be an episode or two showing that. That was one wild ED there, by the way. |

| The amount of bitching made me expect something awful, but I've seen worse looking anime. Aside from the 16 frames of animation, this was really lame and unfunny. I wouldn't even be watching this garbage if it weren't for Tsuda. |
| Dropping this disappointment. The Power Point "animation" is a disgrace. Such a shame the anime turned out this way since I love the manga. The only reason I won't give this anime a 1 is because the manga's comedy is great. |
Everyone could use some One Piece in their life. |
| It was OK but the live action show is better and funnier, and I hate live action anime lol |
| Welp, they did went with the typical slightly animated manga panels that's usually used for promotional videos, sigh... The positives I can see are Tatsu's voice is superb, the OP is great and love the anime-original Gin part |
Holy moly, total disregard These static animations give me a good secondhand embarrassment, unfortunately it's very sad for such an acclaimed work  Even the manga has a more fluid animation lol |

| I recently started reading the manga (Read till Chap 5). So I can't really speak as if I'm a manga reader. But even with the few that I've read...this ain't it chief. It such a shame honestly, the humour is there and the VA is so on point for Tatsu, but the animation, or the direction rather, they decided to go with, is just soooo lacking. Guess I'll just continue with the Manga. |
 |
| I'm surprised that it's actually fun to watch once you're used to it. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| Opening really don't match my felling of this series. |
         |
| I honest to god do not see the big deal with the animation. It used a unique style. If you didn't like it, then that's fine, but you don't need to piss on others for having a different opinon |
 |
| Lmao getting Queen Bee flashbacks xD. jokes aside I kinda see that they tried to go with a new approach but a lot of hate came in as a result and I'm in between not hating nor liking it. |
