Another episode featuring our favorite quintet of Rakugo actresses. Our girls start their argument over glasses—yes, you read that right, glasses. It includes a slightly risqué scene and several unexpected punches. Then the full moon takes center stage with the appearance of an exotic animal and rituals to calm its anger. Fast-paced, canon within the story, and plenty of comedy.

Synopsis
Joshiraku follows the conversations of five rakugo storyteller girls relating the odd things that happen to them each day. Their comedic and satirical chatting covers all kinds of topics, from pointless observations of everyday life, to politics, manga, and more. Each girl has something new to add to the discussion, and the discourse never ends in the same place it began. Each of the rakugo girls has their own unique personality, with the energetic but immature Marii Buratei; the seemingly cute Kigurumi Haroukitei; the inherently lucky and carefree Tetora Bouhatei; the calm and violent Gankyou Kuurubiyuutei; and the pessimistic and unstable Kukuru Anrakutei. These girls—and their mysterious friend in a wrestling mask—give their observations to the audience, either backstage at the rakugo theater or in various famous locations around Tokyo.

Quick Takes
View all 30 takesA fast-paced episode with a touch of humor, starting with a conversation about Valentine's Day that quickly evolves into a question about Marii, which they gradually confirm. This is followed by a discussion about world monuments and their significance, and the episode concludes with Tetora at the center of a conversation about good and bad luck. It's canon within the story and quite entertaining.
An episode with a moderate pace, featuring conversations that at first glance seem unfounded but which, as they progress, become increasingly serious with unexpected results and conclusions. The five friends and colleagues actively participate, joking around and passing the time between rakugo performances.
