The Laughing Salesman · review
Have you ever desired to deal with the devil? Countless stories throughout the past had tried to portrait the consequences of a deal. A fire tempting the fly. The laughing salesman is another display of such. A salesman disguised as a helping hand with a sole purpose to take you into a deeper despair. Like "the man with big eyes and the man with big mouth" in Monster, you all sure remember. Every episode has two separate stories with a same type of ending. A distinct setup of letting a person through extreme joy, meeting his or her ultimate desire and as they get used tosuch services, as their personality changes to ignorance, they find themselves in a depth of loans. So it is clear that they have already set some rules they'll always obey, but I would very much like if they add some volume into it. Otherwise it may get quite boring for some.
Being an episodic anime, unlike other animes such as natsume that moves us with emotions, laughing salesman strikes psychologically.
Now the opening, oh my god the opening is already my favourite this season both visually and melodically. And the music is also highly satisfying.
Some might don't like the animation style as it has a old-fashion cultural presentation with a comedic touch. But boy it suits completely.
