My knowledge on rakugo is pretty limited, so I can't say how good of a job this anime does at it, but what I can say is that I really enjoyed watching it.

The plot is simple. It mostly revolves around a tanuki who wants to master rakugo in order to trick humans. We follow her (mis)adventures as she aims to fulfill her goal of becoming a Rakugoka. On the way she meets a lot of interesting people and dwells more into the world of rakugo.

The rakugo itself is really interesting to listen to, altough I don't find it particularly funny, but honestly I don't ... view that as a negative thing. Because of the cultural differences and the fact that I'm reading the translation of rakugo, and not the real thing I'm completely fine with not finding it funny most of the time.

I also love the "No Tail Tales" that shows up after the ED and explains the rakugo. Most of the time I can understand the story, but sometimes I can't really seem to figure it out so the "No Tail Tales" is really helpful in that regard.

The animation is pretty decent. It's not spectacular like in some other anime that we got this season, but it's unique and I really like it. The character design is also very well done.

To me this was one of the better anime of this season, and I'd highly recommend that you watch it. It's kinda sad that it's so underrated.
