The Laughing Salesman · review

At first glance, Warau Salesman's unappealing aesthetic is enough to dissuade one from watching this series. The aesthetic itself bears a resemblance to Mob Psycho 100 to some extent (even the cover art is uncannily similar), however unlike the latter, Warau Salesman does not compensate for this by featuring incredibly animated sequences. Warau Salesman's selling point primarily lies in its ability to convey the flaws within human nature, namely greed. This aspect is exemplified by the focal character of the series, Moguro Fukuzo, a self-proclaimed salesman that dons a black fedora and a large, unsettling smile. Each episode follows a concrete formula: Moguro finds aclient, or rather, a victim > victim tells Moguro about their problems > Moguro conjures an item to help resolve this problem, albeit with a specific rule attached and if the rule is broken, consequences befall the victim > victim temporarily resolves their issue > victim attempts to further alleviate their issue, breaking the rule in the process > victim is punished by Moguro in an ironic fashion. While this formula makes for a predictable outcome, the manner by which Moguro's victim is punished is still quite amusing. Warau Salesman not only deconstructs the blatant flaws of Moguro's victims but also of contemporary society as a whole; unemployment, social ineptitude, unhealthy emphasis on appearance, etc.

Overall, Warau Salesman is a great show to watch on the side. It has all the qualities that a show needs to procure a bit of amusement.
