Rakugo Story is a charming dive into the traditional Japanese art of storytelling. It captures the whimsical yet poignant journey of Haruki Masato, a shy young man who stumbles into the world of rakugo almost by accident. The pacing is gentle, allowing you to really absorb the nuances of both the performances and the characters' growth. Shinpei Hayashiya's direction brings a warm, nostalgic atmosphere, reminiscent of old Tokyo, while the performances are genuinely heartfelt. There's this blend of comedy and drama that feels very authentic. The practical effects, like the staging of the rakugo performances, feel both simple and effective, drawing you deep into this unique cultural experience. It’s distinctive in how it portrays the complexities of mentorship and the pursuit of art.
