Hausmann goes Genie

This series follows the actor Kenjirô Tsuda as he starts following the advice that he learned while playing Tatsu in the animated series. It's not actually meant to be Tatsu himself.

After absolutely binge watching the series I was left wanting more.

Very entertaining to watch and the theme itself is subtle but thought provoking.

The cat is hilarious and the actor shows an intensity and fine tuned acting that really impresses.

Tried the original anime afterward but, though I do consider myself an anime/manga fan it didn't hit the same feels or meet the same level of quality.

Looking forward to more.

"The Way of The Househusband" and "The Ingenuity of the Househusband" are not the same story. One of them (the way) is about the life of an ex-yakuza (Tatsu, cartoon character) and the other is about the life of Kenjiro Tsuda who is an actor who gives his voice to Tatsu (former yakuza, cartoon character). Tsuda is the Man 👍

I hate to compare, but if seen the cartoon, it really brings out the yakuza of the main character who is trying very hard to be a househusband. That is the core of the joke.

As for these short live action pieces, I wish they wouldn't take it so serious. The main character doesn't look or feel like a yakuza at all. He just looks like a very serious guy who is in to minimalism and cleans the house neatly. The creators of this series should of went over the top with it. They should of exaggerate the character. I want to like it, but I don't feel it.

I have been appreciating his work since the early 2000s and I must say it was refreshing to watch him narrate this informative and comedic series. Absolutely amazing seiyuu adding to his impressive resume. Must Watch.
