Slightly reminded me of Natsume lol c:
Seems like her brother can see the diety and that giving some of her power to Inari seems to have taken a toll on her. :x

This show is definitely well made, between the atmosphere, backgrounds, and just the writing in general it really is great, especially that music. There is something that bothers me though. It just seems out of character and petty for someone that is given a wish by a god, to ask to forcibly take the love of someone that you know likes someone else. It might have worked better if they had shown that the red-headed girl was not a good person, or using him, but her wish just seems cruel. Well, hopefully they will take this in some direction that at least makes it seem more fair to both characters.

Nobody said anything about her stealing the other girl's love. She said she wanted to BE Sumizome. What she got was to look like her, but her mind was still the same. Nothing happened to anyone other than her. (See below, since it seems to be a trend with people not understanding...)

Did she and the other girl switch bodies or did she just transform into her?

Loving this artwork.

haganbmj said:
The Shrine is absolutely beautiful as a setting, love it.
Seems a bit awkward, I'd like to know why no one was worried that Sumizome never showed up at home - since Inari replaced her and has only changed her appearance back.

Trippwire01 said:
Hmmm, so my biggest question is...

If Inari became Sumizome, and now she's technically Inari in Sumizome's body with the ability to transform... what happened to the original Sumizome? O_o Though it would be appear in the last scene she's sitting at the desk all the way in the back left of the room... at least her body is. I'm so confused.


felipekorbes said:
WTF, there's a big hole in this episode that looks like anyone here noticed. Inari mind was replaced with Akemi's mind, right? So, at the end Inari got the power to change into any human form she wants, but we have to remember that Inari is still in Akemi's body. Then, the question is, what the hell happened with the old Inari's body and what will happen with Akemi's familiy? Will it just continue like nothing happened?

ProfPepper said:
Wow she really is stupid

so what happened to Sumizome is she just missing now?

Eh, pretty good episode


To repeat what has already been said: Nothing happened to Sumizome. They did not swap places, she did not take over her mind. Inari's body changed to look like her, but that is all. Think of this as Uka not really understanding humans and giving Inari what she asked for on the surface out of kindness, but really making her life worse. That is the basic concept. Now that she has the transformation powers, she can change into any human, but she doesn't replace them. They keep on existing. I think this will all be explained in the 2nd episode... At least it was in the manga by the 4th chapter...

ErwinJA said:
And btw: Am I the only one who had a sudden urge to say "I want a girl . . . like you . . . to be my girlfriend" when Inari was asked her wish?

Very similar vibe, yes! A!MG is my alltime favorite, so that may explain why I like this so much!

Why did they change it?


My guess would be copyright laws. In the manga it's not overly noticeable so they can get away with it easily, but it would be so much more obvious in the anime.

The anime has reached the lighthearted and warm atmosphere of the original manga IMO very well.

It's a pity that we will only get 10 episodes (+ova), but let's hope the story will reach the part which has something about other characters relationships :)

And I love that Kyoto-accent. it's definitely something that makes this series special :3

Really like this. I have been thinking for awhile to read the manga and this was really nice.

Also, I really like Fushimi Inari, the shrine. That shrine and Kyouot is among my favorite places in Japan. Recognized a lot of the scenes from the shrine and other views from my trips.

Characters are beatiful , it gives me such a good feeling.
Uka-sama's mature voice really fits her .Like it! She played an otome game ?! xD
OP were good.I saw Uka-sama and Inari's nii-san together *My shipping sensor* .

Anyway good start ,I'm looking forward to seeing other episodes.

LOL, gamer deity haha. And an otoge at that.

Anyways, love the feel of the episode. The atmosphere felt like Gingitsune (BGM and theme-wise). I feel like I'm gonna like this series. Quite sadly, only 10 eps is what we're getting. Still, another slice of life that I may enjoy. Also, love the kansai-ben of the characters! I've been wanting to hear those, and this is definitely a big plus for me.

I was hesitant to pick up this anime. For one thing, there were lots of deity-and-student anime already and the latest Gingitsune left me unimpressed. Another thing is that I'm limiting my watch list this season. However when I saw my tor**** feeds that one of my fav fansub groups picked this up, I said why not see the first episode. Man, I'm glad I did. Great execution so far. Pretty art, good animation and, a nice start for the story. I'm curious about the circumstances with Inari's brother.

This has shoujo and slice-of-life feels to it = lovable. Plus the animation is really something, beautiful backgrounds and great voice acting with some epic bgm (note, I am not the type to notice bgm but this time, I did. Explains how good it is!) I like Inari's best friend. All the characters are nice, glad that Inari's soon-to-be-boyfriend (most likely) isn't lame at all. Even that familiar is cute.

Hahaha, Uka plays otome games xD Seriously guys, this is already gotten so good hat I can see it on my top 5. So so so so soooo good (lol I feel such a kid xD) I am getting all these Hanasaku Iroha vibes from it.

Man, I was totally hooked! A top-tier with D-frag and Mikakunin de Shinkoukei for this season.

Isayama Hajime should be awarded The Manga with The Highest Inconsistencies of Characters' Appearances.

Yes, I've read up to the latest chapter of Shingeki No Kyojin manga.
Forced myself to read through the kidsketching chapters after the anime's ended. At least from now on, I only have to go through the hell once a month.

5/5

The good things glimpsed in this episode are: The Kansai accent, beautiful graphics, backdrops and characters already fairly characterized. The despicable points: The plot and some inconsistencies seen during the episode.
Narration good, hilarious at times the Goddess who was playing with a otome game was too much for me! LOL
Good animation and pathos very tangible! * _ *
I hope proves to be better than it may appear, I am referring to the plot.

That was kind of adorable and this episode did not let me down.
Hopefully the drama is not overblown. Though i've already seen a comment here suggesting otherwise. :/

Honestly though it's depressing that she wants to be the "sparkly" pretty light-haired girl when she's really cute her herself.
But that's life I guess...

This is actually really nice. I love the OST and animation. This is basically the Gingitsune of Winter season, but with magical powers and more romance. LOL Also, better looking guys.

Only downsides are weak voice acting and a BIT slow for my liking.

Well, it was a cute episode. A bit cliche on the edges, but hey, not every show can be an original masterpiece. We need those show to break from those too much emotive other show :P

Inari is so mooooe. Gawd, those face :3

That goddess playing eroge, I think that's the first time I saw something like that xD
Same for a boy exposing his boxer :P

That little fox is adorable. Eveything is adorable. Adorableness for everyone!

Just sayin'...

I also want to know the history of Touka seeing Aku-san and fox spiriit even as far back as being a small kid and Inari only able to see them until recently. There's some history I'm intested in.
What if the Hokey Pokey is what it is all about?

I really liked this the Opening is really nice and so is the song as well the story is quite unique to me but it really really reminds me of Cardcaptors as well as Kamichu! more like Kamichu though the design of the characters is nice as well though as of right now it is in my top 5 for this airing season once start watching Imocho, Sakura Trick and Magical Warfare I will have more of an understanding of which ones I like most

Gingitsune is the top recommendation so I thought that it would be anything like it, but it feels totally different. I don't like it for most of the episode, I don't like the female lead, and.. ugh.. romance..?

I Didn't really like it... <__<

I love foxes and anime/manga with deities and gods/goddesses. But I just couldn't get over the annoying main character and her love interest

I hated Inari's voice!! Her voice sounds so whiny and I'm not really a fan of her personality either...
Her crush (I forgot his name right away) seems really boring >__< I can't really understand why she would fall in love with him. :/

I love her friends though ^^ I don't remember their names but I love them!!!
I also like the goddess. Her voice is so lovely ♥‿♥

The art is really nice as well, but I just can't get over how annoying Inari and her love interest are at this point. Maybe they'll get more interesting and I'll start liking them but right now they just piss me off.

I'm going to watch some more episodes of this, but if I don't like it by episode 5 I'm most likely going to drop it.

This episode was a 3/10 for me...
