Sadly, this was not as good as the first episode, but I can't figure out why...

Because the second episode explains some of the chaos which makes it dull?

love this show but i can't take 80% Mashiro with that voice and only 10% benio/Kobeni i mean she has those Great Child Bearing hips!

OP is still pretty good ED is almost as catchy as WitchCrafts

Mashiro has a huge and weird imagination lol. I can't get enough of her.. hnnng.. though her voice is still something I should get used to.
Hakuya is still boring to me so far. Give him some development please!..

A wild guess about Kobeni's past: She was attacked by a wolf in the mountains and Hakuya somehow saved her.

OP is so good. I can't wait to have the album. XD

Mikakunin de Shinkoukei has foreshadowing written all over it. Some shit is gonna go down, I just know it.

The title translated as "Engaged to the Unidentified" and the whole second episode focused around Mashiro being scared of UFO's and mysterious creatures. Kobeni has vague memories of silhouettes of fox-looking things living near a temple. Not only that, Kobeni notices that nobody finds Mashiro's presence odd and Benio states that the family has been around for a long, long time.

There is WAY more to this story than meets the eye.

EDIT:
Speculation levels to the max- Haguya is a were-fox that's why he's so tired during the day
Oh shit... I didn't notice that.

The tsukkomis towards Benio are legit xD
Not that funny tho. Found first episode better. The scenes in school are just awesome. The ending is better than the opening ;P

TBH, I think interpreting the title that way is a little far-fetched, but the amnesia aspect will still keep this alive I guess.

Yep, just came here to say the same thing. If not exactly a were-fox, perhaps something to do with "fox spirit possession", an interesting myth in Japan. In one rural region there are families who are "fox spirit possessed", they tend to be very wealthy, though they are shunned by most of their neighbors, something that seems to fit this story very well. There was one such family near my in-laws house, and even today they are somewhat ostracized because they are thought to have a family fox.

Or maybe not, but I have to say that Mashiro's hair reminds me of a wolf's tail.
Her hair even "wags" like a tail at one point...

I'm kind of hoping someone makes a .gif out of the "eyes all over the place" part. That made me laugh!

Lol at Mashiro reacted to Alien on TV.

Too bad the castle that Mitsumine built keep falling.

The rumor about Mitsumine and Yonomori family lived under one roof finally started to spread over the school.

This makes sense. When Mashiro's hair wagged, the first thing I thought of was a fox. Now I know why.

Ok I just hope this doesn't turn out with supernatural stuff, just as the Title suggests.

Also, too much comedy in the first episodes, I mean it's good, but I would have liked a strong-plot start about Hakuya and Kobeni, maybe some drama.

Hakuya is doing very little but at least we start to get that he's actually thinking within his passive figure.

You guys lol. But I must admit it, usually I hate this kind of loli. I really do.
But in this case it's not happening, actually I feel like praising the VA is the best thing I could do.

I suspected something supernatural in the works too.

If so, the title makes a bit more sense. And why no one else seems bothered that Mashiro is in highschool...

I always find his voice doesn't seem just of another spacing out character. Didn't start watching most of the anime this season. But this anime is adorable and entertaining and I have a feeling that some supernatural works are going on behind the scenes. UMA and UFO were just a couple of hints imo before they reveal something. :)

Mashiro makes this show worthwhile.
Characters like Benio makes me want to instantaneously drop a series.
Hakuya practically didn't do anything this episode except mentioning the 'tragic' incident between him and Kobeni. Hopefully he does something more interesting or major next episode.

Mashiro still as cute as usual. Seriously, how can she be in high school?

Hakuya wants to keep the accident a secret from Kobeni, though I think she'll find out eventually. Wonder what kind of injuries did he get.

After watching this (7) times and counting, I am thinking that Mashiro's mom is the loli in a kimono in the OP. Also, I think I heard some quiet conversation in the backgroudn by students while Mashiro and Kobeni were talking on Episode 2

funniest ending ever. Episode would be 5/5 just from that.

I love how expressive Mashiro's hair is.

And that scene of the cow being kidnapped by aliens reminded me of NouCome...
You're right, Mashiro. Benio is some evil monster brainwashing the world. There's no other possible explanation.

I can't believe I never noticed it, but there was a shadowy figure of a fox (or it might have been a wolf) in Episode 2 when Kobeni was thinking back to the mountains. This makes it pretty likely that that earlier theory proposed about Hakuya being a fox spirit is true. I do wonder about Mashiro and her mom though. They probably are keepers of the shrine that worships the fox/wolf spirit. But, we'll see.

Opening is cute and catchy, ending is cute and catchy, the girls are cute, the male protagonist is likeable too, and even though they're newbie VA's, I'm liking their voices too.
The show so far is really giving a good share of hints of mashiro and the dude not being actual normal people, but I also like how they are delivering those plot moments in healthy doses so the viewer doesn't feel alienated by having plot on comedy.

Dropping ImoCho in favour of this was a really good choice.
