Ahahahaha!!!

Yeah, I think there is potential here too. I have only read the first ch of the manga as a general reference point to whether or no I might find the series interesting.

Am interested to see what they are gonna do with the small amount of eps they have....

Hey, hey, it was supposed to be rhetorical!

We know. We couldn't resist. Fav. potential couple right there. Probably half the reason why I read the manga.

Spoiler for Episode 1:

The first episode was pretty good. The thing that made the show different from romance shows is that it plays a concept telling the story involving multiple romantic pairs with different background stories in the same show, with Inari's love towards her male friend being exemplary in the first episode. When she befriended a goddess after being heartbroken by her friend due to awkward misunderstanding (the studio did a good job playing the reverse side of it), it was pretty charming too and the way she can turn on/off as a shapeshifter was simplifying. I'm simply interested to see where the other characters are doing something to play a part of the story. I absolutely love the character designer of both this and The Ambition of Oda Nobuna, they are really well-drawn without being overshadowed by the presence of moe compared to the likes of KyoAni and Kyoto was rad when it was used as the main setting. I'll continue watching and it's gonna end up surprising as I go on.

Finally!

Kyo-kotoba banzai!

[sikvod00]

Glad to see Houko Kuwashima in a major role again.

[ookamigirl]

Hopefully this will be something like Gingitsune.
Lately, I started to like this kind of anime ^^
Seems like this one will have some romance in it.
That's always a nice bonus.
Why does Inari have to be such a hopeless girl?
Guess it wouldn't be interesting enough any other way ^^"
Inari stumbled upon something amazing.
Don't know if she appreciates it enough.
Anyway, it's really relaxing and fun.
Gonna be watching this!

Yeah, the title is a cute play on words, but if we want to get mostly literal, it's along the lines of "Inari, foxes, and the A-B-C of love." (Or "alphabet of love" perhaps? "how-to"? "Spell out the love of fretful girlishness, carving the fresh green wood of tender trees"?)

Anyway, this was really cute. Nothing original (apparently this is that sort of a season), but very cute. Everyone and everything is cute, but so far not in an obnoxious way, thank god. It also looks quite good and it was funny at the right places (loved that Inari's first thought was "omg I need to come up with a magical transformation phrase!" XD). I can't really say anything more, really - it's the kind of healing show one watches to relax after a hard day. I mean, awww, look at them being all adorable. (Especially the foxes, I love foxes.)

[Dop]

Well that was nice. Sure, it's perhaps more Kamichu than Gingitsune, but not like that's a bad thing!

I'm interested to see what happens next now she's got the power. It's almost like this season was saving the best until last.

(As an aside, why is it all Middle-Eastern deities are beardy blokes while Japan got the hot babe gods?)

First episode was realy nice, but it will get awesome when Uka steal the show

Also it's clear there is putten lot of effort into it: Visuals, OP/ED as well Voice acting everything is top knotch. I am happy one of my favourite works is taken seriously.

[Kanon]

As I suspected, this show is right up my alley. Loved, loved the first episode. So cute and full charm. Everything in this show looks adorable. I'm very curious to see how the story will develop now that Inari has gained the power to transform into any human she wants. If it were me, I'd be very tempted to abuse that power, but Inari is too innocent to do that.

lol I kind of hate to admit it but I look forward to Uka stealing the show.

I suppose I'm the only one who gets flashbacks to Hime-chan no Ribbon due to the shapeshifting premise?

I agree, even if i was expecting this because i'm a manga reader, it caght me by surprise in a good way Inari's voice acting was awesome i felt an abnormal level of cuteness in this one but it never felt out of place you could feel her emotions and feel her cuteness without being annoying, the drawingz were unexpectedly good a lot of color but beatifully drawn backgrounds.
The story itself is not new but as a manga reader i can say that it is well executed since it always it keep you hooked since characters have a distinctive feel to each one.

The show looks pretty as I thought. Kansaiben is as usual really pleasant to listen to.

I'm a little worried about how they're just cutting stuff from the manga trying to fit the 10 episode slot though...

10 episodes eh? Indeed, that makes it very worrisome. I just hope they plan to leave room for another season.

[Znail]

I am not that worried that they will cut out stuff to get ahead in the story as while there is a story so is the focus very much on the characters and their interactions. It could easily bite them in the butt too, as if the show does well then they wont have anything more to do a second season on. A slow pace also suits the laid back atmosphere.
