It was a disappointment.

This was a big disappointment after watching the anime version on Netflix. There's Gokushufudo (2020), another Japanese live version that is truer to the anime. This 2021 version was calming but lacked the characters and humor of the anime version. What we get are artistic, quiet homemaker instructional videos. There is no background to explain who the character is, why he's such a skilled homemaker, or what the actual point of the show is. Clearly it was a vanity project for the actor, Tsuda Kenjiro, who voices the anime version. If this was commissioned by Netflix then they completely missed the mark.

I haven't seen the Gokushufudo but it has to be better than this one. If you want a show to help you fall asleep then watch this version. Otherwise, go watch the anime and Japanese live version elsewhere.
