The Laughing Salesman Episode 11

Review:

If you’ve made it this far through the series you already know the formula that this show is going to follow. Our first contestant this week is a salaryman with self-destructive tendencies. Even after being shown the error of his ways, he still pursues a touch of danger and so Mogruo, being the helpful soul he always is, let’s him have exactly what he is after.

Then we meet the ultimate idol stage mum who is essentially forcing her dream on her daughter despite the daughter not being all that interested.

This second story worried me a bit because it seemed at first that the one who was going to end up hurt would be the daughter but we got another twist and as usual, Moguro’s customer (victim) is the one who faces the consequences.

Another week and another two hearts filled, though I’m starting to think the hole in their heart is being filled with sheer terror of sales people at this point. Good fun but pretty predictable.

The Laughing Salesman is available on Crunchyroll.

The Laughing Salesman Episode 6

Review:

Given Moguro is the only recurring character in this series, figuring him out has become kind of my main goal each week. Originally it seemed pretty straight forward that he was finding people who thought they were lacking something, giving it to them, and then pulling a be careful what you wish for manoeuvre. However, it is becoming increasingly clear that many of these characters don’t actually deserve any of what happens to them.

The first story this week featured the wannabe actor, and yes he did want to be an actor but he made no promise with Moguro, didn’t become a horrible person when tasting a tiny bit of success, and generally was a nice guy. That didn’t stop Moguro from literally turning him into a monster in what was probably the most unfair consequence this who has served up yet.

While the second guy had a little less self-control and was probably already headed for the usual consequences faced by someone who can’t align their schedule with societies, he also didn’t really deserve any particular supernatural consequence (and I question whether the girlfriend’s choice was hers or one inspired by Moguro which opens up a whole other discussion).

So, no closer to actually figuring out Moguro unless he really is just a sadist, but then why target the earlier characters who were already relatively unhappy.

The Laughing Salesman Episode 2

Review:

I’m not sure if the recurring theme in this story is alcoholism or ego. Regardless, this week we are introduced to another two customers (victims) of the salesman. The first is taken to the hot springs where he proceeds to get drunk and then more or less consents to cheating on his wife. The second involves an employee who quit because of his boss who then becomes a tyrant in his own right.
