After watching Ryujis Masudas Popee the Performer and Funny Pets, I was expecting Mr. Stain to be in a similar type where every character dies in a funny but stupid way, but after watching it, it is very different but in a good way. A person in poverty searching items in the trash may be a stupid idea for a show but Mr. Stain on Junk Alley disproves the thought of that by having that item be used in good entertainment and either benefiting or negatively impacting Mr. Stain and Palven. While it does not have a character die in every episode, it keeps the dark humour and uses them in ways that don't feel forced and actually helps contribute to the plot and feels more realistic . While Mr. Stain on Junk Alley was the only Ryuji Masuda show that officially had a release in the U. S, it doesn't have much attention which is unfortunate as I enjoyed this as much as I did with Popee the Performer and Funny Pets. I highly recommend you watch this when you have about almost 2 hours to waste.
