Sugita Tomokazu is the best casting choice for Taro. I can see several nods to his character in other shows.

• Him possessing a kintama (Gintama)
• Him demostrating the Joestar secret technique (Jojo)
• Him being a mannequin (Black Rock Shooter Dawn Fall)

The directional choices in showing Jiji’s character and the dynamics around Momo’s relationship with him and Okarun’s jealousy are on point.

As usual, absolute cinema.
