Anime/Manga Tonkatsu DJ Agetarou

[Skip Class]

Tonkatsu DJ Agetarou​

Agetarou works at his family's tonkatsu restaurant in Shibuya, but he's not very excited by the work. One day, he takes a delivery to the staff of a night club, and the worker lets him in to enjoy the club for a while. Agetarou finds that he loves the club, with its relaxed people and cute girls, all enjoying the music supplied by the DJ. He continues going to the club, until the night comes when the guest American DJ Big Master Fly puts on a show. Agetarou is inspired by Big Master Fly, and realizes that the groove of being a DJ is very similar to the groove of being a tonkatsu chef. Now Agetarou is determined to master both disciplines, though he is most excited to become a DJ!

TRAILERS

Spoiler:

 

[donavannj]

... there is so much even that I cannot right now.

I just... I mean, I've never gone clubbing before (not really the type who was ever interested), but I'm damn sure clubs haven't had music anything remotely resembling the mock soundtrack this show uses in at least 10 years. At least, the clubs popular with the yutes.

 

[machomuu]

I just watched episode 2.

I...don't know how, but it beat the shit out of episode 1.

Drops

Spoiler:

I've never done drugs. Not interested, but Agetarou was definitely the product of several of them at once and also someone sad that Usakame doesn't have the speed that Teekyu does.

Holds a hell of a lot more weight now. Especially considering today.

 

[Lipstick Vogue]

Mad reference game.



Japs still like Eurobeat. Nothing would really surprise me.

It's only episode 2 and I have no regrets watching this

All them music is giving me Jet Set Radio vibes.

 

[donavannj]

And our "hero" is now going to learn how to DJ... after paying the DJ off with lard.

I can't see him getting any better at it.

And I was wrong.


... anyone else still watching this?

Spoiler:

This show really seems to be making something of itself now.

Spoiler:

Pretty face Sonoko even congratulates him on a great performance!

 

[machomuu]

Yes Don. There's no way I could drop this.

This show's the gift that keeps on giving.

 

[Lipstick Vogue]

Latest ep was chill to the max. What a great show.

 

[donavannj]

That was absolutely brilliant. Started to feel like they were beating a dead horse before they got to the final punch line, though.

 

[donavannj]

And now Agetarou finally encounters EDM.

 

[machomuu]

Thus is the natural order of things.
