Barakamon Anime Review: A Stroke Of Genius

John Lyndgate once said, “You can please some of the people all of the time, you can please all of the people some of the time, but you can’t please all of the people all of the time.” Seishu Handa, a prodigy calligrapher at the startling young age of twenty-three, has apparently never heard of Lyndgate. So when he suddenly falls from grace, he falls hard—and by hard, I mean punching a respected curator in the face after he criticizes his most recent work as something you’d expect to see in a textbook. Then he flings his show at the guy for good measure. Rather than getting invited to be the next Super Smash Bros. character, Handa gets shipped off to the Goto Islands (near Kyushu) to cool his head and focus on his work. But adapting to the rural life just makes his anxieties worse! In particular, a little girl named Naru Kotoishi keeps breaking into his house so she can play with him. Needless to say, Handa doesn’t take things well. But is there any room in Handa’s mind for improvement?
