Onara Gorou

Overview: I have a number of serious and quite lengthy reviews in the works right now, so here is something quick and easy. The motherfuckers behind the much beloved President Trap Kun have struck again! Plot?: The plot is about a sentient, talking fart that sometimes solves problems. Everyone seems to know and absolutely adores the talking fart. The humor though "at least for the Japanese audience" actually doesn't revolve around the concept. Nope! Instead it's all about puns and comic wordplay that doesn't translate outside of Japanese. This is Vampire Holmes all over again! Animation: This was drawn entirely by one person. I mean...yeah it sucks, but it's pretty hard to animate something entirely by yourself on a tight schedule and zero budget. Soundtrack: A live action band of cute women sing about "eating junkfood and farting without humanity or mercy". Overall: Having a cartoon about a talking fart (or shit) isn't what makes this uniquely Japanese. That's the kind of joke White Americans in the 1990s would make. Ren and Stimpy and South Park for example. No, what makes this distinctly Japanese is that a show about a talking fart quickly turns into a bad Manzai routine. Come back next year, when this director inevitably makes a show about a queef that recites Rakugo poetry.

Don’t be fooled by appearances! Onara Gorou is high art; a masterful, deeply deconstructive analysis of a long-held social taboo! It alters one’s perspective on its cultural significance, exploring such themes as fart romance and the meaning of life for digestive gases, and using these themes to demonstrate poignant, thought-provoking truths… …What’s that? You think I’m talking out of my ass? Pffffft! From the creator of such marvels as “Mr. Andou of the Forest” and “Salaryman Man” comes anime’s latest avant-garde classic! It follows the adventures of troubled individuals, who see their lives turned around as they get lectured by an old fart and his heroic inanimate smiling sidekick – the true unsung hero, perhaps, for enabling such great deeds to happen while asking for no praise or even name recognition in return! This character is so deep, he contains another entire character that still seems like hot air by comparison! To top it all off, there's even a farewell catchphrase to go with it all! “Defart!” (“Sayo-onara!”) I’ll admit, I got some chuckles out of this one, and one or two were legitimate, un-ironic laughs. Regretful, dumb and embarrassed laughs, maybe, but then I came to realize this only amplifies the show’s greatest message. Perhaps our obsession with insisting on higher-than-thou highbrow-over-lowbrow entertainment is all missing the point; why treat our silly little human senses of humour as somehow subhuman? Why downplay the easy comedic options simply because they aren't "refined” or “sophisticated” enough? If one finds them amusing, then maybe there’s no sense feeling embarrassed, or holding it in. If I really must criticize anything, the only issues I can come up with are pacing problems and slow points, repetition, predictable punchlines, lazy writing, lazier presentation, overly-deadpan delivery to ever-diminishing effect, a soundtrack that's either cheesy or nonexistent, unremarkable sound design, ridiculous logic, and one-dimensional characters with instant and artificial development. Go watch it, seriously. Experiencing this modern classic requires mere minutes of your time!

This is the type of Anime, once you're done watching it you will say what did I even watch. The point is, that Onara Gorou is a very weird and random comedy which is mainly focused on farts. In fact, there is one episode where 2 farts fall in love with each other. And no, I am not making that up. Some people may be deterred by such dumpster humor, but I decided to watch it because it stood out like a sore thumb and I think farts are funny. Most of the episodes focus on the main character Onara Gorou, appearing out of no wear, and a funny sound effect plays and then weirdness ensues. The good thing about Onara Gorou is that each episodes are really short. So if you wanted you could watch them in less than a day heck, even and hour. The point is I thought, Onara Gorou was defiantly one of those Animes that fit into the category of being purposely bad and weird. I Defiantly think you should try and watch Onara Gorou if looking for some pure stupidity.

The typical fart joke is something that everyone can find funny. However this series takes that premise and completley turns it on its head. Onara Gorou is a show that personally changed my life. I came into it expecting to be subjected to a barrage of crude fart jokes but what i got instead was an inspiring and heartwarming welcome into real life lessons. There are some episodes where the genre is changed and somehow this show manages to master every single one of them. Onara Gorou isnt just a fart joke funny show, it is a beautifully crafted life lesson and an experience i will never forget.

This is the anime equivalent of "The Room". Just because it gets a poor rating, doesn't mean I don't recommend it. I highly recommend it simply for its sheer stupidity. Pros: - Short (only about 40 minutes to watch the entire series) - Great sense of humor - Extremely catchy ending song - Great for anybody who loves extremely bad "so bad they're good" shows and movies Cons: - Artwork and animation are unexcusable - The choice they went for for the final episode was an odd choice - Requires an immature sense of humor for the viewer fully enjoy it Concluding thoughts: I highly recommend this. It's lighthearted and often quite hilarious. Definitely not your typical anime, but still good for a good laugh.

The first 4 episodes were extremely promising, but unfortunately they took a wrong turn. Given that every episode is 3 minutes, it made episodes 5-13 more bearable than they otherwise would have been. The show essentially follows this format: Highschoolers (divided into nerds and bullies) have a mundane problem. This mundane problem then becomes the core idea of a life lesson. In this case, an elderly gentleman, and eventually others including the school principle, shows up and summons a fart from his rectum. This fart is a deep-thinking philosopher who addresses the situation and helps the highschoolers out of it by instructing them and giving them a valuable lesson. The number of wise farts increases over time and advice is then given by multiple farts. The first 3 episodes started out this way: Elderly fart addresses a physiological problem and educates the viewers about human anatomy Same thing as episode 1 but with another problem A new female fart appears and corrects the elderly fart by suggesting that this time, the problem isn't physiological but psychological instead (the topic was love) Based on those 3 episodes, you would think that the show would use male-fart to teach the viewers about human anatomy/physiological processes and use female-fart to teach the viewers about human emotions/psychology. Unfortunately, it started diluting the stories, less lessons were offered to the viewer, more farts joined the show and started to become subjects in the show themselves, rather than being the ones who are wise. You started seeing the lives of these farts and live their little problems, which was honestly not very entertaining after having been shown once already. Art-wise, it's fairly detailed and has a pencil-strokes like style with static, low fps, paper animations. It has a style similar to what you'd except from one of those Youtube parody animations. It's very caricatural as you can imagine. The expressions are exagerated by either being overly stoic or being overly expressive. They also have an odd music video outro with real people and a CGI version of the wise fart that made the whole thing feel more official than it originally fely like. The show is basically one whole parody/joke show taken to TV-level production. Overall, I can only rate this as a "short film"/"video" type of anime. The first 4 episodes were enjoyable, the rest went downhill very fast. Started out top echellon, but it's counter-balanced by the rest, so I'll give it an average rating of 5/10.

I will be straight up, this anime is amazing. I have written many joke reviews in the past, some still serving their purpose, some are no longer alive. I have written so much that I have no idea if I am being true to myself or just messing around. But one thing is for sure. Onara Gorou is a great piece of work. Humour can be interpreted in ways that make it the most inconsistent thing one could imagine. There is no one universally funny joke. So I will just say, for that one minority that loves random media that makes no sense, the kind of anime that people say "failed to be funny" (but it is funny in truth smh). Onara Gorou is for you. Story? Sensei Onara Gorou teaches you how to prevail in life, yes, a fart does that. The very deep and philosophical themes are very deep and philosophical lies in the fact that there are no deep and philosophical themes, or maybe there is? Though, this is a shitpost, literally. Onara Gorou isn't supposed to be something serious as it is just a bruhmoment.jpg, in saying that though, some of the morals of the story do hit home, so there is that to consider. The characters rock the same boat too, pretty sure they were irrelevant and we only come here for the man himself Onara Gorou spitting about some really important life lessons, just not as cringe as some of those YouTube channels. Audiovisuals? Kino. Mixed manga style with animation from none other than the likes of something like Inferno Cop. The two come hand in hand and whilst it may look like some odd animation, it fits everything about this anime 100%. The same is for audio, ED really catchy, OST not really much, but all the voice acting was pretty something else. Great work. Enjoyment? Well, considering you have nothing against random entertainment or are very critical about your taste in jokes, this is pretty much very enjoyable. It is clear it doesn't take itself seriously, nor does it even care, but I suppose that what makes it even better. I like random, and Onara Gorou sure does check out in being great at random. Would recommend this for those looking for something that doesn't fit in with the bunch. 10/10.

In my 8000 anime episode career and 360 completes, i have never written a bad review for anything, even if i wanted to or if it deserved it i never did. I have never rated an anime 1/10 before, my lowest was a 2/10 when I was half asleep on an airplane. My philosophy is that no anime is truly “bad” and each anime has its own aspect, and when that aspect is shown we should enjoy that aspect alone to the max. My opinion hasn’t changed, but for this anime is a new record. I have never watched something so disgusting, I have watched anime morally wrong to the point god himself if he could would walk in my room and take off my Ipad battery just so I wouldn’t see some bull crap. This anime is a new peak in my life, I scrolled on tiktok while watching this and it barely helped, I think Hellen Keller would of had a better experience then me, just seeing colors flash through her eyes. I could write a story better then this, and make an anime better then this, I normally wouldn’t be so arrogant because who ever is reading this thinks im closed minded and ignorant or maybe arrogant, in which I agree very much, but I don’t care in the slightest, I would rather watch metamorphosis and say I finished the manga in-front of my parents then say to my girlfriend (in which I don’t have) that this anime moved me spiritually. Socrates would have a laugh out of this anime and certainly humble the priests by comparing there knowledge with this anime, I would show muslim bombers this anime to save my life.

The best way to describe this anime is -uncanny valley -caused some type of anxiety I cannot explain -made my flight or fight kick in -had no real story -the outro is fire for some reason I genuinely don’t know what I just watched, it’s something an akin to a fever dream or what a really bad psychedelic trip would feel like. I don’t know what the story was other than a talking fart who somehow solves all the problems, and i genuinely don’t understand why the outro for a show only three minutes long is so good. I wanna know what studio made it, why did they make it? How high were they to come up with this?
