Joshiraku

Synopsis: Joshiraku follows the conversations of five girls of Rakugo accountant, relating the strange things that happen to them every day. Its comic and satirical conversation cover all types of topics, from useless observations of everyday life, politics, manga and more. Each girl has something new to add to the discussion, and the speech never ends in the same place she started.

Each of the Rakugo girls has his own personality, with the energetic but immature Marii, Buraze; The apparently cute Kigurumi haroukitei; Tector Bouhatei inherently lucky and carefree; the calm and violent gankyou kuurubiyuutei; and the pessimistic and unstable Kukuru. These girls - and their mysterious friend in a wrestling mask - give their observations to the public, behind the scenes of the Rakugo Theater or in various famous places around Tokyo.

The anime title is a junction of the words "Joshi" (girls) and "Rakugo" (a type of Japanese comedy). The anime was produced by J.C. Staff and directed by Tsutomu Mizushima. An interesting curiosity is that the anime presents many references to Japanese pop culture and also makes social and political criticism in a humorous way.
