Prioritize:
Great cast, great acting, episodic plot, soundtrack isn't the worst either, but I just wasn't interested in the Rakugo world at all. I understand very well that it's a good show, but in many cases its humor missed me. Such a pity. I enjoyed the acting and all the brilliant actors who put on a great show together, but it just left me cold for the whole ten episodes and only the eleventh one sort of warmed me up. A better 3 stars. If you like Rakugo at least a little, add a star; if you like it a lot, add a second. ()
