#yuurakutei yakumo

[yashiro-arisugawa]

Just finished Shouwa Genroku Rakugo Shinjuu and I'm not fine 🥲🥲🥲

Ishida san literally aged through his role as Yakudaddy

His final shinigami performance gave me goosebumps

Loved the fact that they didn't just leave us hanging and put in effort to tie up all the loose threads for a proper and satisfying ending

obsessed with one sad old man

OH MY GAWD! You don’t know how happy I am to see Vesper Noir doing a Rakugo for his cover. He’s not really doing a rakugo but let me explain. Its a song by Yonezu Kenshi (currently known for his “Kickback” song from Chainsaw Man anime) inspired from “Shinigami” rakugo story. Its about a lazy man meeting a grim reaper. The grim reaper offer him an easy way to get money but later tricked the man. The light of his candle disappear together with his life.

I know the Shinigami story because it plays a big role in Shouwa Genroku Rakugo Shinjuu (Lovers Double Suicide with Rakugo in Shouwa and Genroku Era). Its one of my favorite Josei anime! The story is about an old man who’s a veteran storyteller(rakugo master). I always think Vesper reminds me of this old man character. Why? Both are hot flawed old man and a storyteller. In addition to that, both always talk about death casually but the difference is Yakumo(this character) wants to die just because of his backstory while Vesper don’t really fear death but its not like he want to die. Its more like if it come to him, he will welcome it with open arms. If Yakumo is Vesper, Sukeroku is Magni and Axel is definitely Yotaro. As for Altare, he’s the handsome grandson of Yakumo! I just think Magni is Sukeroku because Yakumo always praise Sukeroku’s talent in storytelling and Vesper is like that to Magni’s creativeness. But when it comes to storytelling style, Vesper’s storytelling is probably Sukeroku’s style. A very comedic way of storytelling. 

Also! How nice it would be if Vesper release an English Rakugo voice pack!? I really love hearing his stories! Let my dream come true!

What made Descending Stories: Showa Genroku Rakugo Shinju better than the first season was how we got to see both the rise of Yotarou and the fall of Yakumo simultaneously.

Love to see your fav characters' list...Do you know that the mangaka of Shouwa Genroku also wrote a few BL manga series? One of them is my all time BL fav, called : My Darling Kitten Hair (Itoshi no Nekokke)....Sorry if you already know and don't like the manga.

Hi anon,

I feel kind of bad writing this but like dsalkfjdsa yeah I did know that because I kind of literally said it in the paragraph where I say he's one of my favourite characters:

Yuurakutei Yakumo (Kikuhiku) from Shouwa Genroku Rakugo Shinjuu - I just… *flails* Almost no one has seen this anime series and it kind of kills me because firstly the books were written by someone practiced in writing BL and even though this isn’t BL you can still tell the vibes are there. Secondly, one of the most ace-coded characters ever. Gender-fuckery abounds, which is fun. Thirdly just, honestly, more folks should watch this?

I'm just going to assume you were super excited because you saw the anime / character ref and didn't read the rest of the paragraph which is something I think we've all done once or twice (or a lot!)

I mostly like Rakugo/Descending Stories because of the historical research that went into it, and because the Yakumo + Sukeroku vibes remind me of two of my own characters, Augus + Ash. So I don't need it to be BL! I know I've read Itoshi no Nekkoke but I don't remember it skadfjasd (which is normal for me! I forget so much of what I read which makes re-reading a lot of fun :D )

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ISHIDA AKIRA! [11.02]

Yet another one of my favourite seiyuus. I definitely did not know he portrayed Xerxes Break since I watched the series a long time ago and I was not yet interested in seiyuus. He did a magnificent job in Shouwa Genroku Rakugo Shinjuu [imo] as Yuurakutei Yakumo. Watching that series made him one of my top favourites. And let's not forget Fyodor Dostoyevsky of BSD! He did a great job portraying that role. Watching Fyodor and Dazai reminded me of Akaza and Douma because they have the same seiyuus and they are besties! LOL

[crehador]

look i got here from one of you doji danshi fics (great stuff, A+) but then i saw '#yuurakutei yakumo the eighth…… #bon my beloved :')' in your tags and now i'm obliged to ask for your hand in marriage, actually (if you got this ask more than once i'm so sorry, tumblr is tumblring)

omg let's hold hands and frolic through the field called amazing taste <3

i'm usually the worst at choosing/ranking my favorite anything but descending stories is easily my favorite anime of all time, i truly think it's a masterclass in storytelling and bon is the old man of all time

genuinely everyone please watch descending stories it is the most beautiful the most devastating the most i want to eat it with my teeth story in existence
