| Conversations between Tengu.. I don't understand a words In short Akadama-sensei is a tsundere xD So Benten ate their father... and they still be "friends" or other relationship It's weird..... Well, Mamiko Noto's chara really full of mystery but interesting xD |

| 5/5 Folklore aside, I have clarified the ideas, thinking that this series expose these practices, using the yardstick of slice of life to understand them adequately. And to make them more effective, the narrative uses the great scenery made by PA Works. That seem a bad, but it is only because the color design used is a function of the character design of the characters! Another interesting point of that Astoria is the unexplained gap among the Ayakashi forces and Benten, which should be human! But it should be? O_o |

| WoW! Benten is such an amazingly mysterious and attractive character. A big credit has to be given to Mamiko Noto for giving her that aura with her amazing voice. Loved seeing Benten with a T-Shirt and short jeans. Her white skin and thing siluete looked so attractive while she was dressed so casually. Also we get information about the tanuki family dispute. Their mother looks really young when not dressed like a prince. |
| this is one strange anime |
| final impression = yup.. still piece of shit why is 90% of slice of life genre always turned out to be slice of waste my fucking time? goddammit... |
 |
| I wonder why that brother can't transform out of his from form. I also wonder what is with Benten. She can change the weather? What is she exactly. SHe keeps saying she's human but hell no a human can change weather, fly, lift whales! Also I think this episode confirms that Benten did eat Yasaburou's father. |
| Super slow paced, boring to watch. |
 |
| Very chilled and relaxing. This show is great fantasy slice of life. I just love the art and atmosphere. |
| That frog guy is really cool. I like his easy going personality. |
 |
| Yeah, that scene surrounding Benten was really fascinating and well directed. I want to hug the little bro ;_; |
| Benten = Ben 10... |

| So this episode confused me at first. But I think I got a handle on it. Basically it was a family tradition to go on a magical flying pleasure cruise every summer festival. And neurotic, hot headed oldest brother Yaichiro while taking up responsibility to secure a boat has failed to do so. So the mother makes Yasaburo our erstwhile hero find a replacement. I find a lot of the interactions in this show in general inscrutable. Especially among the family. The mother's rage at Yasaburo making his brother beg him for help was curious as hell though. A lot of good interactions between Yasaburo and baby bro Yashiro this episode. He's too adorable I love when he gets scared and his tail comes out. He courageously (poor little guy) sails out to a location on the water with Yasaburo to ask a favor from Benten. Still beyond curious why the whole family doesn't hate this woman who ate their father. Must have something to do with tanuki personalities in legend or something I don't know. But when we're not hearing how crazy she is Benten can be kind of pleasant. That whale scene was the really pretty bit of animation for this episode. And she seems to like Yasaburo though maybe she's being sarcastic. She gave him her floating tea room at any rate. I'm interested to see that in action next episode. |

| Alright. The show definitely looks beautiful and foreshadows some exciting things, but if you're going to be dialogue-heavy, it has to be a bit more...I dunno, lively. I'm sticking with it, but I do hope we learn more about these elements they're simply alluding to (such as the Friday Fellows) soon. Naked Benten did give a bit of life to the episode at the end. |
| "No, son, you may not have your body pillow at the dinner table!" |
| Benten is such a mysterious person.. I thought that whale would stab her with its tail lmao! |
 Three things cannot be long hidden.. ...the s u n, the m oo n, and the tr u th. |
| I am really enjoying this show so far! Always love it when Benten appears, and fanservice is definitely always a plus!! |
| I'm Bruneian and I like anime. And Manchester United. And fat cats. |
| That Ben 10 girl is really annoying... I don't know much about her yet, but until now I disliked every scene she was in :/ |
 |
| Reading the comments, I gather that I'm supposed to fall in love with this anime, but I'm quickly losing interest. The atmosphere is great and I love the nicely detailed backgrounds, but I need more than that. I'm not saying I don't like it. It's fine and good enough to continue watching. I'm just not as into it as a lot of people I guess. |

| Moutain-tanuki ftw. And Benten pulled quite the stunt. And wow, can't put my finger on it, but the last segment with the flying parlor gave me such a wholesome feeling. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| This show is so lively and a really unique story about Tanuki's can be quite a duo. our main Tanuki seems to be in love with Benten after all at first episode I thought he just admired her but todday it got confirmed. and wow she was a nudist after all no pants. |

| I think Yasaburo always talks about his father at the end of the episode, talking about his father's greatness as well as the situation of his family after being left by a great father. I'm sure that actually having such a great person in your family, it's not only make you proud but also very scary when they disappear. People would say "yeah they were so great, I wish they were still alive/here" or judge your family as less valuable after being left by that great person. But hey, they still live their lives as they should and try to enjoy it well. Isn't that the most important thing? I honestly really like Yasaburo's character, even though I can't guess what he really feels and thinks accurately but I like how he lives his life after everything he's been through, especially since he's the middle child which means he has the burden of being a younger and also an older brother. At the end of the day, the ones who know their family best inside and out are themselves :) |
