      Critic Reviews for The Way of the Househusband: Season 1

      Audience Reviews for The Way of the Househusband: Season 1

      • Feb 06, 2023
        A rather funny story about a former Yakuza who decided to abandon his old life to dedicate himself to being a house husband. Pure and light comedy. It is an anime formatted as mini episodes or shorts. Each one is a fresh new adventure and experience. Perhaps not all the jokes will make you laugh, but it is interesting to see how, despite being a comedy anime, some things are a true reflection of the daily life of a househusband or singles. This point was the one that ended up making me like it a lot and I would like to continue seeing it and recommending it. In regards to the animation, again, keep in mind this is an anime with mini-episodes or shorts formats, the still frame animation that has been so criticized also makes this Anime stands out from any other series I have ever watched so I would not rate the animation bad or lackluster it's just different, wich not all the time is a good thing but for me, this time does.

        It was enjoying seeing Tatsu bringing the same level of intensity from his mafia days into his more tame domestic lifestyle. It was worth a few good laughs. My only gripe is that each episode is divided up into a series of 6 smaller acts of connected/canonic stories. A more focused episode would have been interesting to see, but maybe the charm would have been lost on a longer singular plot.

        both seasons are 70s, comedy is good but the animation style is not that great.
      • Mar 03, 2022
        I'm not usually one to watch anime, but this is wonderful. Despite the lack of animation the characters are well rounded, and I was frequently laughing out loud. The humor can be quite surreal, but if you like that style of visual comedy you'll like this
      • Nov 11, 2021
        Didn't know what to expect when we watched the first episode, but laughed a lot and have now watched all of the episodes. Having Tatsu, a former yakuza Immortal Dragon, be a househusband creates opportunities for misunderstandings that lead to clever twists. Each episode is only 15-16 mins, but a lot happens in each one.

        Charming and clever to an exceptional degree. A super cute bite-sized chunk of anime goofiness.
      • May 21, 2021
        A laughter ride, episodes are only a few minutes long and it's more a voiced manga and less an animation but it does win me over with its content. The show is full of hilarious and silly situations with perfect comic timing. The background scores add to the magic.
      • Apr 24, 2021
        A former Yakuza member starts a life as a househusband and he does it as well as his past job. A well thought comedy anime where common chores are presented like an anime style fight !
      • Apr 19, 2021
        Its a voiced webtoon/manga not an anime i feel bad for those who where expecting an adaptation and got the ssme thing they have already read. If you just want the condey its all there but netflix is makibg a profit off of not work and the orignal authro is getting like nothing.
      • Apr 18, 2021
        A real disrespect to the source manga with this half hearted low quality animation, even as it copied the material frame for frame.
