Trivia for Shouwa Genroku Rakugo Shinjuu.
- Actor-Shared Background: Many of the voice actors and actresses were chosen due to their prior experience in rakugo. Rakugo and voice acting are quite similar in that one uses their voice to portray characters, sometimes by changing their voice.
- All-Star Cast:
- Between Akira Ishida, Tomokazu Seki, Megumi Hayashibara and Kōichi Yamadera, there's more than enough all star quality to go 'round.
- The second season doesn't let up, adding Toshihiko Seki and Kappei Yamaguchi to the cast.
- Career Resurrection: Studio DEEN is notorious for its Off-Model in most of their past works. However, this show earned praise for its animation which many, including those who don't like the studio, considered it as a massive improvement on the studio's part.
- First Appearance: Sukeroku does not properly appear in the show until episode 2, due to the heavy use of flashbacks in the show.
- Sleeper Hit: While the original manga had its fans, it was still a rather obscure title for the mainstream anime audience; as a result, no one going into the season was looking forward to the 2016 adaptation nor expecting it to be good. Then the first episode came out and seasonal anime viewers were quick to talk about how it was not only a strong contender for "anime of the season" but "anime of the year". While the series has yet to achieve mainstream popularity, it has gotten more and more fans over time, and the constant praises and announcement of a second season helped keep it relevant throughout 2016.
