Shusaku · review

★
Top reader Apr 5, 2022 · 2 min read
6 /10

Continuing the -saku series here is Shusaku! A slightly less good show than its predecessor. Let's get into why! The story: There's this music academy and a bunch of girls come to attend it in order to strengthen their music abilities. Inside this academy there's a janitor named Shusaku, he's an old fart who picks up information and uses it to blackmail and have sex with the girls at the academy. Easily the strongest part of the show is the characters as the plot is rather lacking. There are funny moments, sad moments, and in general just enjoyable interactions between a bunch of the characters. Unfortunately, even withthat the show ends up being rather confusing at a few times, which definitely lowers my rating for it.

The protagonist, Eri Takabe, doesn't really have ample time to shine in this entry (she will in the later Shusaku seasons though) but I will say she helps end Shusaku's rampage in a rather satisfying way.

The art/animation:
Shusaku is an Elf game turned OVA by Pink Pineapple. The animation was handled by the little-known Production D.M.H and, to be honest, it really doesn't look bad. The character designs were done by Hiroya Iijima, who you may know for Afro fucking Samurai. Safe to say the art looks really good. Also, for whatever reason Shusaku's penis is glowing yellow, I don't know if this was for censoring or what, but it looks goofy as shit.

Sound:
Easily one of the weirdest soundtrack's I've ever heard in a show, it isn't bad but it does NOT fit at ALL with the circumstances. The voice acting on the other hand is good, which is nice.

Overall:
This genuinely wasn't a bad watch, but a lot of the show is confusing and/or terribly paced, which lowers the rating substantially. Shusaku isn't really a compelling villain in this first season, but he does get better in the coming seasons (foreshadowing!!!). Would I suggest this show? I mean if you like rape or fun characters yeah, other than that no. All in all, I'd give Shusaku a 6/10, enjoyable'ish but not brilliant.
