The Way of the Househusband

This has either got to be the stupidest or the most brilliant anime I have ever seen.

I never read the manga, so I can't say if the story is any good. However, the anime is hilarious, once you get past the non-traditional anime style and very short episodes.

The idea of a former yakuza becoming a househusband has a lot of potential. A lot depends, however, on the reactions of the supporting characters, including somehow the family cat.

I'm not sure about this series being able to go on longer and continue to hold viewers' interest, but at least the anime version is a lot better than the live-action one.

I don't think it will be for everyone but it's hilarious. The art style, the pace and humour are so unique, if you wanna have a laugh for a couple of hours it's perfect. I hope they make more and keep it short, this compact format is perfect.

Hilarious, enjoyable, unlike any other anime. Its done in a way where its like ur reading a manga, yet with sound effects...awwesome!

I saw it when I hang around in Netflix.

I don't read the manga but I directly watch the show and I really enjoyed. I don't care the art style. It's funny anime and I laugh every episode and it is just 5 episodes. Give it a shot. The idea of a former yakuza becoming a househusband has a lot of potential. It's a good story. Super fun to watch and absurdly enjoyable.

This may not be for everyone but I absolutely like it. I need more episodes. This is such a stupid show but I respect it. It is good but it had way more potential. I wish Netflix do one more season. It's really funny.

I rarely write a review but this little gem fell into my lap quite unexpectedly. The animation is almost crude, but the story line is clever. Unless you have a basic understanding of Japanese culture, norms and the highly traditional gender roles that define Japan, some viewers may miss or not appreciate the many cheeky and sly cultural and social references in the story. Beyond that, the implausible story of a former, infamous yakuza boss turned dutiful househusband in Japan, with occasional outbursts of his former violent self and past life, is truly entertaining and hilarious. The title alone hooked me in from the very beginning. For those of you who like your humor cheeky, quirky and a little this side of whacky, this is for you.
