WHAT IS IT?
Daifugou Doushin is the Edo version of Meiji Kaika Shinjuurou Tanteichou, ie it is a detective show set in the Edo period. Like Shinjuurou, the main character comes from a privileged background or rather his super power is that his grandfather is filthy rich!
The gimmick is that the main character Unokichi cannot fight and cannot run and his grandfather literally buys him a job as a Doushin which is similar to a police officer in Edo times. The comedy comes from Unokichi, for all his weakness will somehow manage to save the day and solve the cases. If you an anime/manga fan, its an Edo version of Captain Taylor mixed with Angel Densetsu.
WHAT IS GOOD
+ It is pretty funny from Unokichi constantly being misunderstood and how his legend keeps on growing.
+ Unokichi is a more fun character to watch than Shinjuurou
+ Shinkawa Yua
+ My favourite jidaigeki is Yoshiwara Ura Doushin so anything with Yoshiwara and oiran, I like.
WHAT IS NOT GOOD
- The whole fainting and enemies being scared at Unokichi's hole filled stance got boring after a while.
SUMMARY
More watchable than Shinjuurou Tanetichou but not good enough to reach good status. Watch it if you want a feel good police show with an Edo twist. Thanks to evasive for subbing and you can get the raws from nyaa.
