History YMMV / Joshiraku

* VindicatedByHistory: The anime first aired in 2012, but in terms of popularity it simply came and went, as the premise of "cute girls who are rakugo performers" wasn't a very good sell in ''or'' out of Japan (as rakugo isn't a very popular form of entertainment among younger Japanese audiences). However, after the ending theme song became a trend on ''[=TikTok=]'' in 2021, a number of people looked into the anime out of interest. This resulted in newfound appreciation for the show's wordplay and visual humor from American fans.

* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: The ending theme song "Nippon Egao Hyakkei" by Music/MomoiroCloverZ.

* CantUnhearIt: Be careful when reading or listening to the ''Jugemu'' rakugo after watching this series. You'll never resist hearing the girls' rhythmic pronunciation of his name.
