(Writing this after finishing the whole anime)
I watched this anime after some edits passed on my fy and I was really hopeful for this.
But if I ever saw someone else looking into watching this, I would not recommend it.
"The way of the Househusband" does, honestly, have a lot of potential. This concept is very fun and good to be explored. However, the poor animation is impossible to go unnoticed...Especially when it's equally bad in all episodes...Needs a lot of work...On the bright side, this animation is so bad, it's almost goofy, and cracks a laugh once in a while.
In the internal structure, I think there's a lot more things "The way of the Househusband" can explore, but it doesn't. That's why I'm considering this anime boring. It's very repetitive and flavorless, at least for me, a…

the story and characters are good and all. but,my only issue is tha animation is too bad and i dont know why the opening has good animation so, why is the animation so terrible it made me think is this animation or animatic so many times. Almost the only animation made is the mouth, everything else remains constant. also shadows in most of the scenes are just lazy and bad. not only that alot of scenes has so much drawing mistakes. its like the only thing that holds the show is the story, i would normally give 1/10 for the animation but i give 6/10 just because it actually made me laugh several times and some scenes were fun to watch.

No way that this is considered a 7 (as of this moment). I really did not like this show, but it was as expected of a Netflix Original. How can they have so much money yet produce such low quality shows?
This review is not solely based on animation, but on just being unfunny, bland, and dumb. Even if the animation was average it would still be bad.
Enjoyment: 2/10 "Comedy" was not funny, the same few tropes over and over.
Sound: 1.5/10 The use of sound-effects were just like the animation, "stock sound effects", the soundtracks were below average (I sort through soundtracks and ops/eds after watching shows and add them to my music playlist, these were not good), the ed was bad, the op was actually good (added to playlist, raised sound from 1 to 1.5).
Characters: 3/10 The characters were fl…

Have you ever passed in a test even though you know you got an F? You might've left some answers blank because you forgot to study or ran out of time.
That's Gokushufudou's anime adaptation. Though calling this eyesore an "anime" would be a lie. Every scene is nothing more than a glorified sequence of still images, killing any potential comedy from the manga. There are jokes, but they fall completely flat because of how they're presented; with flashes of a black screen like they forgot to check their work. I can’t help but think this was some sort of money laundering scheme.
An unspoken rule of anime adaptations is to never exactly copy the source material because you’ll only invite comparisons. Animation fundamentally can’t be as detailed as still art at all times. The lack of animation…

If you don't get it, you don't get it.
It's basically a sketch show. It's not the magic/meccha/ninja action fantasy shounen. This is not the standard juvenile stuff. This humor is for grown-ups and it can be frickin hilarious. If you want the ecchi or the action ninja Boruto nonsense, this show is NOT for you.
If you like Monty Python humour, then you really need to watch this. An ex-gangster who does ONLY househusband things... But what if he does it in a gangster way?
The only thing I would have liked is an actual main story-line, but the sketches are great fun as is.

-No Spoilers-
The Way Of The Househusband is a weird but interesting series that you could easily finish in less than an hour. Nothing too special but an engrossing series to say the least. The main character is somewhat relatable and the supporting characters as well. One notable thing though is the animation which is at best, a 6/10, although the show is overall an 8/10 as I see it.
It doesn't dive too deep into romance and action, it sticks to comedy, and that's what I appreciate in this series. The quirky unorthodox humor is strangely great, which had me shaking with laughter.

Gokushufudou definitely doesn't deserve the hate that it gets.
Yes, the animation is like a Powerpoint presentation, so what? Where would you have liked to see good animation? when Tatsu was doing yoga? An anime like this doesn't need good animation to be enjoyable.
The voice acting was great, especially Tatsu's VA and the story, well, it is what it is, I can't really say there is a story.
Overall It was funny and enjoyable to watch.
If you don't like the way it was animated, then you probably only watch anime for the animation. Go read the manga and complain about how it's badly animated.

Oh man, this one was one of my biggest disappointments of 2021. It even made me ask the question of “does this count as anime?” Well, we’ll get into all of that with my review of Gokushufudou and if this adaptation of the amazing manga of the same name is worth your time or not.
So Gokushufudou follows Tatsu. He’s an ex-yakuza that used to be feared as the “Immortal Dragon,” but now he is a humble and professional househusband. It shows you his day-to-day life as a househusband and his interactions with the people that know him as the Immortal Dragon, his wife, and other people in his neighbourhood, or end up interacting with him. It’s a rather simple plot and can set up some good jokes. On it’s own here, it's a solid set-up for its jokes to work.
The characters are all a strange cast of…

And Netflix strikes again!
Looking like a slide-show, Gokushufudou become a deception both for the mangá and for who watched the live action.
Without a real narrative, the anime show for us a lot of ugly-horny-cringe cenes, which, in addition to trivializing the fact that the protagonist is a yakusa, also have a terrible job of directing.
Lastly we can point about the animation style chosen for the anime, which completly destroyed your theme, creating a narrative pacing who dont have any fun or sense.
-Português E a Netflix ataca novamente!
Sendo transmitido através de um slide-show, Gokushufudou consegue se tornar uma decepção tanto para o leitor do mangá, quanto para quem acompanhou sua adaptação em live action.
Sem uma trama narrativa condizente com seu material original, o anime…

The way of the house husband is by far and away the best comedy to ever come out of Japan, and I will not rest until each and every one of my friends has experienced its gut-busting glory. A short and sweet story about a terrifying yakuza subverting expectations with a short and sweet anime, and I honestly cannot wait for season 2.
I am seeing several people complaining about the adaptation, but honestly, I found it perfectly fitting for the kind of story Gokushufudou wants to tell, and whitout Netflix, I and most everyone would have never even paid the manga any mind.
This is the same thing that happened with One Punch Man season 2, with picky fans upset they didn't get an all-star animation team to turn short gags into sakuga, and completely missing the fact that the heart and soul of…

I normally don’t write reviews, but I am now because this anime is getting a lot of unnecessary hate.
This anime has a clear vision on what it wants to accomplish, and accomplishes it. It’s a short and sweet comedy about a former legendary yakuza member who now works as a house-husband. It’s funny, it’s entertaining, and I had a great time watching it. The characters are simple yet memorable. The voice acting is phenomenal, and this is by far one of Tsuda Kenjiro’s best performances.
Now, the elephant in the room - the animation in this show is minimal. Things only move when they have to. Otherwise, they sit still like a manga panel. It may be a bit jarring at first - I was initially surprised and almost angry when I realized that this was what the anime was going to be as well. However…

Honestly, one of the worse looking anime I've ever seen (besides for EX-ARM). Though, if this got a second season with 50 episodes I would watch all of them in a day. This shows is my guilty pleasure, and I just love the comedy it uses. To be fair, the animation isn't so much of an animation but really a PowerPoint, and the storyboarding left the anime on a not really good ending. The characters in this show are entertaining, the sound is awesome, and I just love the story. After all of this, I really enjoyed my time watching this, and I will defend this anime with all the trash taste I have. 10/10

"My disappoint is immeasurable and my day is ruined" as the young man says.
One of the most exciting aspects of watching an anime adaptation from a manga you've read/been reading is the anticipation of how some of your favorite moments will have a renewed life to them when animated. It's fundamentally what makes watching an anime based on a manga so fun.
Whoever at J.C. Staff decided that this "slideshow" or still-picture panning was the correct move deserves all the flak this anime is taking. The source material is funny, the characters interesting, and the overall story is fresh. They had everything to turn this into a fun anime and butchered it.
The only reason I give this anime a 3 overall is because of the voice actors. At the same time, the good voice acting makes it all the more…

I love Gokushufudou.
But, I gotta be honest, I was real disappointed with the animation.
I'll admit that I did get used to the animation, but it is a far cry from what I'm sure many manga fans hoped and wanted (me included).
I feel like if you *want* to enjoy this "anime," you can't treat it like an anime. You'd have to treat it like a motion-manga. Which is really unfortunate, because I would have loved to see Gokushufudou as a full fledged anime.
Lingering grips about the animation aside, music and comedic timing still hit.
Best part of this "anime" is the voice acting - hands down. Kenjirou Tsuda is the first person I thought of when I was thinking of who could voice Tatsu, and he certainly shows why. Honestly, I was really here just to hear the lines voice acted. A real shame that t…

Ok, first time reviewer here, so bear with me.
Gokushufudou: The Way of the House Husband is a 5 episode animation based off of the manga of the same name. It's about an Ex-Yakuza member known as the "Immortal Dragon" due to his terrifying fighting prowess, having been known to wipe out multiple large groups of enemy gangs bare handed in one night. However he decides to give up the life of crime in order to be a full time househusband, and care for his wife Miku. That's it. Nothing more. Nothing less. However, i feel like people are trying to treat it as if it's something more than that, as if it were an epic action manga that "wasn't done justice" by the animation, and i couldn't really disagree more. More on that later.
As for the individual ratings:

Gokushufudou or The Way of the Househusband is a comedy and slice of life manga written and drawn by Kousuke Oono, which makes me laugh a lot, and finally here's the anime!
STORY: 7/10
We've seen a lot of anime and manga about yakuza doing things normal people do, Hinamatsuri as an example, and it is something that makes me laugh, I'm easy
This one is about a former yakuza which is now a househusband, who lives with Miku, his wife.
It's not very innovative, but it works.
ANIMATION: 5/10
Well... People are saying "powerpoint animation" but to me it was okay, it was just like the manga, maybe more movement would have been better but it's okay, it could have been worse
SOUND: 10/10
Voices are exactly as I expected!
Both opening and endings are good, this is what I liked the most about this…

I'd like to give out my opinions on this anime adaptation of Gokushufudou...
If you are like a fan of animations that is like very simplistic and kinda looking like a comic strip that gives you the feel of reading a manga that has little animations and voices that kinda gives it life... Then here's an example to you.
Ah yes, it is kinda disappointing that it is kinda like looking traced and literally just followed the source material itself and looking like low quality, negative reviews for such art can not be avoided.
I am quite, a little satisfied with the animation itself since I am like reading the manga itself but only at 1080p resolution that is also colored and has animation and also voice. I really loved how Tsudaken voiced The Immortal Tetsu, it really fitted the character him…

Like many, I adore the Househusband manga series, and was incredibly excited for an adaptation.
What I loved about the manga can still be found in this series. There's nothing new or unexpected, and the jokes are still really funny.
The problem with the series is the animation style. It's looks incredibly lazy, and gives the audience nothing new at all if they've read the manga. Even if you weren't a manga reader, it's pretty clear that this is a low effort adaptation. It seems like it was rushed, with no real attention to detail and incredibly simple movement, backgrounds and transitions.
I'd also have appreciated a better OP. It's boring and doesn't do anything to excite the viewer. I started skipping it after the second episode.
Overall, like a lot of others, I'm just extremely d…

I see a lot of people saying this show isn't what they expected and stuff, and I understand that it's not like "regular" anime. But the storyline is really funny, and the way that it's been presented as little "shorts" makes it enjoyable. I would recommend this to anyone who likes humor, and is okay with them focusing more on the characters, rather than the medium it's presented as. I found myself laughing at the unexpected but cute moments highlighted, especially because they could be seen as normal things that people working as househusbands/wives could face.
Additionally, the fact that it is so short makes it a lighthearted watch, easily something anyone could do after a really long / tiring day (which I'm sure we all have, given these trying times). Please watch it before judging it!

JUST READ THE MANGA!
This is my first time reviewing an Anime,
This adaptation was really so anticipation and was so hype because it is unique that a Yakuza working as a Househusband. First of all the coloring of the anime was really good but the animation was so bad it is like a manga panel but the characters are being dragged out such as pretending it is moving. The VA was really good and the acting of all characters in every situation is outstanding. Many situations are too confusing due to another character appears and not even knowing who the hell they are or any clue about them. But pretty much it was so enjoyable that an adaptation with 5 ep with 16 mins i laugh straight from beginning to the end. Overall I gave this anime a 7/10. hope that they may fix the adaptation of any manga p…
