agreed, he didn't seem that spineless in the first volume. And he definitely isn't spineless and wimpy in the more recent novels. At least lets hope that changes soon in the anime , i can't stand more wimpy lead characters right now.

[Westlo]

I didn't really see him as spineless, I mean wtf was he suppose to do? If he keeps acting this way for 10 episodes after he knows what Kuugen can do than he's spineless imo.

Spoiler for ep2:

OP - Like it. Shows a lot of future characters, including one that seems to be similar to Kugen (spirit and gender-switching...).

Well, definitely more entertaining than the first episode. The comedy was also decent.
Of course, the classic "discovering" thing where Kugen "fights" the TV before learning what it is. Kou was also pretty funny this episode, since her head is filled with "mission" and "supernatural" that she treats everything so seriously (like that Mouse in the photo).
Noboru's father is completely my pace. I felt minor irritation to him, but he doesn't have much appearance, so oh well.

Male Kugen... I laughed the moment he first opened his mouth. No problem with him, though his laugh is kind of... strange. -_-
Sucks that he destroyed instead of created a cursed video...

Ebisu is a suspicious character. Completely rolled my eyes when he said that he only fought to get more customers to his store though.
He seems like a playful character, but on the other hand, he seems to be the type to plan and toy around with others, so he probably isn't finished yet.
He can freeze people by stepping on their shadows...

The fight was decent. Not greatly amazing, but it caught my attention, so pass.

For the brothers, Noboru needs to learn from Tooru. Tooru actually had the nerves to get in front of that beast and try (pathetically) to repel it. Noboru... before that scene, he covers his body with his arms and scream.

Preview: School time; Kou was funny in this preview, doing a strange dance, and once again, riding on the top of the racks of the train.

Spoiler:

Okay now he's a spineless bitch!

ep 2

Spoiler:

Now he is letting Tooru do all the hard work and endangering himself ~ lol yea Westlo, he is a spineless bitch ^^

The episode was just quite good. Yuu decided just to transform into his male form for the lawlz, literally that was just the reason. And I dig his groovy laugh "kekeke" (reminds me of...).

We have a new character Ebisu who commands two guardian dogs. Now he is a dangerous person. It is always like this with those who like to 1) joke 2) wear a smile all the time 3) never open their eyes. Little else needs to be say that he holds some secrets...oh and he knows shadow binding jitsu ~ right out of naruto.

The fight wasn't too bad either. At least it was no cheesy fight we are used to seeing, though kuu seems a bit weak for being praised as a strong god.

Noboru's father made me laugh...he completely accept kuu into the family without giving so much as a scream when seeing a fox.

Kuu is still my fav, both male and female. I did wonder why he transformed back into a she during the fight but that was probably because she tried to charm the beasts

Lol at kuu destroying the tape player XD

And the preview ~ kou + more train racks haha!

wtf @ the minor nuisance before it gets nuked.

[Westlo]

Btw do they show another 30 seconds of stuff after the ED finishes?

OP

[arkxkra]

Spoiler for ep2:

good episode. nice op song.

I never thought their father was so easy going, never scare of kugen, just left he/she live. I still not use to it the kugen laugh >.<".

Kou not bad, try to accomplished what she need to do, and she quite moe something .

the Ebisu(the land god?) is good or bad?(but from his look, usually is not "good"), and the way he earn money is(i speechless...).

and kugen spoiled the tape

Spoiler for ep2:

Ebisu the local land god is a completely neutral character. He is only in it for his own own profit. what ever he is planing could benefit you or screw you over hard. it doesn't matter to him who he side with or what he do as long as it result in his own benefit most (preferably profit).

Even though I know its C.C.'s VA, her voice reminds me more of Takano Miyo from Higurashi

a more insane version of Takano's voice *cough cough*

My review of episode 1.

I'm not familiar with the series - so this is just from a perspective of the anime itself as a stand-alone effort. I didn't *dislike* it. I'm fond of the Shinto motifs and use of elemental mysticism. The characters seem fairly interesting and the voicework of the kitsune herself is entertaining.

The art seems a bit drab (I did like the surreal moments with the snake spirit's form) and the animation doesn't really "light fire". But those aren't a problem if the story holds strong.

Biggest nit at the moment is that the editing of the episode itself seemed really awkward, rushed and that problem was not helped by the musical scoring. The music just failed to connect with the scene moods very well.
Hopefully, they were just trying to GET to a certain point in the character relationships ("the gang gets together and is introduced") and this wierd broken rushed feeling of the edits will subside. We'll definitely give it a few more episodes to find its feet.

not really a spoiler, just some thoughts about land god.

Spoiler:

Land gods cant really be anywhere bad, as they are responsible for the growth and health of their tasked land and people, but whether you can trust them enough to have them help during pesky yokai related situations is another story. As for Ebisu, ..........

Spoiler:

let's say he stays very true to his motto......... when you find out the truth about what he's up to later, i swear you'all gonna fall off your seats..............

[Tri-ring]

I fell off my seat when I found out that the land god was running a convenience store.

GOD, talk about commercialism.

[Angrypokstick]

well he is changing with the times i suppose. I like how they are making all the super natural paranormal entities so easily melds into modern culture. Lets just say a land god running a convenience store seems perfectly normal compared to what some other deity/gods do for a living these days in this anime.

Spoiler for ep3 preview + pics:

New school term. Noboru and Tooru goes to school.
Kou-chan, why the scary face?

The girl who likes(?) Noboru, Sakura Misaki-chan appears!

Kuu-chan and Kou-chan, obediently stays at home... no way.

Fox spirit and and girl guard, visits Noboru's school!

Kou-chan is very active and popular at school, but...


Noboru-kun, what are you doing?

1-2 pic: Reminded me of Addie... and Honami...
7: In a way, pretty scary for the passengers.
8: Reminded me of Otome ha Boku ni Koishiteru...
Last: Eh~?...

[Leedizzle]

As much as I dislike weak male leads, especially in harem type shows (then again the whole weak male lead is what makes these harem shows), when you live a somewhat normal life and then you are faced something you have never experienced before such as being attacked by a supernatural being, it is quite reasonable for them to scream and be spineless. It probably would be my first reaction as well, especially if you know you cannot defend yourself, or do not know how.

False bravado never gets anyone anywhere.

[Deathkillz]

Same can be said for Tooru, but he is the younger brother, no matter what Noboru should protect him if he really considers him to be his sibling. Unless it is either Tooru being ignorant towards danger or that Noboru is the type to just run away and save himself.
