Of all of the performing arts, comedy is one of the most fluid and ever-changing. What makes something funny, typically that answers is a matter of opinion, but for a comedian, it is an essential question as to its the one thing that can make or break a career.
Maesetsu! Opening Act is a brand new anime that gives a glimpse into what it's like for young comedians trying to break into the industry. Played for laughs, the show follows a group of college age girls who juggle trying to achieve their dreams while holding down a job.
The anime recently premiered in Japan, but as a fun way to get fans excited for the show, the creators released a promo video that spoofs a highly successful franchise, in an effort to give viewers a rundown of the plot.
The new series seems to be a hit for fans of anime and comedy, and that's great to hear because that could mean more episodes in the future! We would love to hear your thoughts on the show and the video in the comments below!
The project centers on four 19-year-old girls at the height of their youth, attempting to achieve their dreams of becoming comedians even as they struggle gallantly.
Maesetsu! Opening Act is airing now, in Japan!
