Warau Salesman is an episodic show with no real plot, where each episode is its own little story. Every episode has a different protagonist, Moguro's client, whose life almost always is ruined in one way or another by the end. One good aspect is how condensed the stories are, never being rushed. This anime does a very good job of presenting a different story in a short time every episode, usually the first 2 or 3 minutes, after which comes Moguro offering the miraculous, too good to be true, solution for his client's problems. The problems are realistic and mundane, with a big portion of theclients being salarymen. A big part of the enjoyment comes from the expectation, each time you begin watching another episode, of seeing in what fucked up way will Moguro ruin someone's life. I don't recommend this anime to people who get upset at "mean-spirited" characters of shows. This one's not about justice or retribution. Moguro doesn't care if his clients are bad or good people, weak or strong. Many times someone will suffer without having deserved it.
Moguro Fukuzou's voice acting is great at being both funny and creepy. The character, in appearance, is bizarre-looking compared to the rest, always having the same grinning expression, and his speech is equally distinct. He will always sound like an extremely polite salesman trying to sell something, even when he is angry at someone that broke his promise.
Overall, it's an anime about 10 minute episodes with independent stories about drama and/or dark humor with bizarre or gruesome endings.
Do not watch if you get upset at fictional characters suffering for no reason.

Warau Salesman is not only one of those "one of a kind anime" but is also heavily underrated and missunderstood. First of all, Warau Salesman is a Horror-Comedy with pretty heavy social commentary. I don't know why people always deem it as something else. But lets start at the beginning. The show is about a mysterious salesman, Moguro Fukuzou, who deals in human souls (the literal japanese translation is "kokorou" which means heart, but its symbolic for souls). He offers people a splendid deal that fits their deepest desires perfectly and that they won't possibly refuse. All free of charge of course. However, Moguro has always onecondition that he makes clear to his clients. If the client breaks that condition, the whole deal is void and Moguro can collect his soul (visualized by basically fucking up his former clients life). Now here is where the whole horror and also social commentary comes in. Moguro himself is of course not a normal salesman yet alone a normal human being. His true origins are never made really clear throughout the whole series, but its safe to say that he is some sort of a devils advocat if not the devil himself. He always hangs in a bar called "Demon Nest" so that basically covers that. And just like some demons Moguro, in some way, has to be invited by the people. If the client is on the hook and agrees to Mogurus terms, from that point on Moguru is in his life for good watching him at all times without being noticed (except if he wants to be noticed). Now why would anybody break a good deal that last forever as long as one tiny condition won't get violated? Because human beings are selfish, ignorant and greedy scum who always want more! You give them the little pinky and they take the whole hand! And that is the premise of this show and Moguros transactions. He knows of that selfish nature and feasts upon it. He knows eventually every last one of his human clients will turn into a greedy and dishonest pig, so he can collect his souls in peace.
While the first episodes are very tame in regards of violence, some of the later episodes turn out to be quite gorey. But despite all the gore and deep commentary, Warau Salesman is still a funny comedy show with some great humor in it. Not least due to Moguros crazy monologues and self awareness. The events in each episode make up for great situation comedy as well.
If you want sophisticated and social critical, yet dark, crazy and unpredictable comedy this is the show for you. I definitely recommand it!
