I'm interested in Japan for some time, I must acknowledge that many elements of Japanese culture totally foreign to me yet. At least that's the comedy that seemed to demonstrate, to my utter confusion. After the exceptional
Ikebukuro West Gate Park, the trio Kankuro Kudo (writer) - Aki Isoyama (producer) - Fuminori Kaneko (director) is reformed to provide the public with a crazy comedy carried by zany characters. Main protagonist of the story, Bussan (Okada Junichi), 21 years, learns he is dying of cancer and asks his friends Bambi (Sakurai Sho), Ani (Takashi Tsukamoto), Ucchie (Yoshinori Okada) and Masta (Sato Ryuta) to help them live fully in the last six months of his life. To do this, what better than the excitement of the flight? Robin Hood of modern times, Kisarazu Cats steal from the rich, the Mafia and dishonest pretext to punish them ... and entertain the viewer. The whole problem is there. One of the XXI century Western will probably struggle to keep this farce based on a continuous exaggeration of the actors: gestures (including facial) at its height excess, countless cries turned into screams, psychotic characters, etc..

Thus, while proponents Kisarazu Cat's Eye , as usual, we unveil the modern Japan at an angle strictly less sanitized than the one we usually offer dramas, while the guest stars (Sho Aikawa, Kishidan, Satoshi Tsumabuki ...) are promising, while achieving quality is really, my overriding feeling is to be passed completely through this series. How indeed enjoy a comedy when you do not know pas l’humour ?

6/10 : That wasn’t too bad, I guess. But never worth a rewatch.
