Onara Gorou

The typical fart joke is something that everyone can find funny. However this series takes that premise and completley turns it on its head. Onara Gorou is a show that personally changed my life. I came into it expecting to be subjected to a barrage of crude fart jokes but what i got instead was an inspiring and heartwarming welcome into real life lessons. There are some episodes where the genre is changed and somehow this show manages to master every single one of them. Onara Gorou isnt just a fart joke funny show, it is a beautifully crafted life lesson and an experience i ... will never forget.

This is the type of Anime, once you're done watching it you will say what did I even watch. The point is, that Onara Gorou is a very weird and random comedy which is mainly focused on farts. In fact, there is one episode where 2 farts fall in love with each other. And no, I am not making that up. Some people may be deterred by such dumpster humor, but I decided to watch it because it stood out like a sore thumb and I think farts are funny. Most of the episodes focus on the main character Onara Gorou, appearing out of no ... wear, and a funny sound effect plays and then weirdness ensues. The good thing about Onara Gorou is that each episodes are really short. So if you wanted you could watch them in less than a day heck, even and hour. The point is I thought, Onara Gorou was defiantly one of those Animes that fit into the category of being purposely bad and weird. I Defiantly think you should try and watch Onara Gorou if looking for some pure stupidity.

Overview:

I have a number of serious and quite lengthy reviews in the works right now, so here is something quick and easy. The motherfuckers behind the much beloved President Trap Kun have struck again!

Plot?:

The plot is about a sentient, talking fart that sometimes solves problems. Everyone seems to know and absolutely adores the talking fart. The humor though "at least for the Japanese audience" actually doesn't revolve around the concept. Nope! Instead it's all about puns and comic wordplay that doesn't translate outside of Japanese. This is Vampire Holmes all over again!

Animation:

This was drawn entirely by one person. I mean...yeah it sucks, but it's ... pretty hard to animate something entirely by yourself on a tight schedule and zero budget.

Soundtrack: A live action band of cute women sing about "eating junkfood and farting without humanity or mercy".

Overall:

Having a cartoon about a talking fart (or shit) isn't what makes this uniquely Japanese. That's the kind of joke White Americans in the 1990s would make. Ren and Stimpy and South Park for example. No, what makes this distinctly Japanese is that a show about a talking fart quickly turns into a bad Manzai routine. Come back next year, when this director inevitably makes a show about a queef that recites Rakugo poetry.
