Synopsis

Gintarou is a fox spirit that has been protecting the small Inari temple since the Edo era. Saeki Makoto's family possesses the power to see the gods' agent, but the ability is limited to one living relative at a time. When Makoto's mother passed away while she was still young, Makoto inherited the ability as the sole remaining family member. With the help of fox spirit's power, Makoto and Gintarou help the people of their community, in spite of their many differences.

Reviewing after rewatching after a decade since its first airing. This show is heartwarming, simple and wholesome. Story revolves around Inari shrine, Makoto Saeki, the teenage girl, as the protagonist, doing her daily life mostly with Gintarou, herald, fox-like creature.

The narrative of "𝘎𝘪𝘯𝘨𝘪𝘵𝘴𝘶𝘯𝘦" begins by introducing us to Makoto Saeki and Tatsuo Saeki (her father), who live in an Inari Shrine. The young Makoto has received a special gift that allows her to see and interact with spirits, known as heralds. This gift is passed down from generation to generation, and the last person to possess it was her mother.

Preliminary (6/12 eps)
I have downgraded this anime for a few reasons. There are some bright spots, but most of it is not very good in my opinion.

I liked the overall general idea that there are some temple people that can talk to temple gods. I thought that was a pretty cool idea and they probably could have done some interesting story elements with that.

But alas! It is a slice of life and I feel that this anime doesn't really get started. For some slice of life, that is fine. Slice of Life is my favorite genre.

But I felt like this slice of life was more character ...
