Now look, I am barely interested in anime because it's usually the same crap.
"This guy is a superhero and he fights things and this girl has a large chest and she's super hot" I just don't find it that interesting. But I was randomly scrolling on YouTube one day and saw a playlist of episodes called "Warau Salesman NEW" aka "The Laughing Salesman", I tried to avoid seeing it because I'm not into anime besides Phoenix Wright. After agonizing about it for twenty minutes and I sat down and watched a few episodes and I'm SO glad I did.
The series is based off the 1982 series of the same name, thirty years later this released and apparently didn't do well in Japan despite the source material being popular. It's about Moguro Fukuzou and volunteers his services to people on the streets of Japan whom he deems to have "Empty Souls". Each episode usually begins with a client he's about to meet and more often than not he gives them a magical item that can solve their problems but come with a rule you must not break. The client usually breaks the rule and the Salesman gives them a punishment which is usually pretty disturbing sometimes. Moguro is a great anti-hero for the show. The client usually deserves it sometimes but he usually goes after people for no reason and I love it. The first episode isn't really that good, but after that the show kinda realizes this too because it gets way better after episode one.
Please check this out if you're a thriller fan, I'm so glad I spent time watching this I think it's sad it never got a second season though.
