The story is set in an ancient time, when the whole country was covered in thick forests. A mysterious plague breaks out, resulting in countless deaths. A pure young man named Yoshihiko becomes chosen as a hero, and he sets out on a journey in order to save a village. He has two goals - to bring back the legendary plant that can cure the plague, and to rescue his father Teruhiko who left to find the plant but never returned.

  The show's tagline, "Low Budget Action Adventure Story," foretells the hilarity that will assault your senses while enjoying this "drama." :) This series reminds me of the British sitcom "Black Adder" because of its exaggerated characters and army of guest stars. The show doesn't take itself seriously, and viewers shouldn't either.
  
  
  
  The plot follows a ragtag team of heroes as they travel through a strange land fighting monsters (many of which are paper mache). This show has a sense of humor I have not seen in a Jdrama before. It's very random and silly on an elevated level. I found it thoroughly entertaining.
  
  
  
  Although the characters are far from realistic, they are consistently developed and draw you into their bizarre world. The actors have wonderful comedic timing. While I"m not sure if the jokes in this drama will be as effective upon reviewing, it is definitely the type of show that would be in syndication in the US.
  
  
  
  I gave this drama a 10 overall although the rewatch value and music were not rated highly because it is a stellar example of its genre. read more

  I started watching this drama because the poster for this drama seemed amazingly "epic". However, it turned out to be false! This isn't a high budget action drama. Does that mean I was disappointed? Nope! Not at all! This drama has game references (which the subber did a GREAT job of noting), comedy, and even though it was low budget, it was a joy to watch.
  
  Story 10/10: The storyline is actually pretty unique, at least from what i've seen. It's about a Hero who has to go out and defeat an evil entity who is bringing evil in this world! As someone else mentioned, it's somewhat like Monty Python, but it has it's own uniqueness. It also reminded me of the anime Gintama in a way.
  
  Acting 10/10: They were all flawless.
  
  Music 7/10: The music was good. It wasn't really memorable but it did it fulfilled its purpose.
  
  Rewatch Value 6/10 : Since this drama doesn't really have many twists or turns, it's actually a good candidate for rewatching. I generally don't rewatch shows though, but if i'm ever extremely bored and for some reason cannot watch anything else, i'd watch this.
  
  Overall 9/10: This was a short drama (12 episodes of 24 minutes each), but it was funny and interesting. read more

  Arakawa Under The Bridge

  Both of these dramas strongly utilize an off-beat, random style of comedy strongly driven by eccentric characters.

  Because they are both about fantasy/rpg type games happening in real life. Yuusha is funnier, but both are enjoyable to watch.
