Gugure! Kokkuri-san

Gugure! Kokkuri-san is an eccentric comedy centered around the self-proclaimed doll, Kohina Ichimatsu. Her uneventful life goes from plain to absurd when she summons a fox spirit by the name of Kokkuri-san. But contrary to popular belief, he is not the omniscient, answer-granting spirit from the legend anymore. The loss of believers in modern society has rendered him powerless.

Upon meeting the bizarre girl who summoned him, Kokkuri-san is shocked to discover that Kohina not only lives alone, but survives on just cup ramen! Filled with concern for the young girl, he takes it upon himself to ensure that Kohina has proper meals and lives a decent life. Thus begin Kokkuri-san's less-than-hopeful endeavors and their peculiar life together.

I honestly didn't expect I'd enjoy this as much as I did. I was only going to watch six episodes, but I ended up finishing it in one sitting. I came here for the handsome fox spirit, but I stayed for the bond. Don't expect much story from this. The only focus of the anime was the random shenanigans that happened in the life of Kokkuri and Kohina. The familial bond developed between the characters were so sweet and funny to watch. I like the type of humor used and the savage dialogues. It was just a light watch. I'll try reading the manga in ... the future since it's complete because I want to see more of Kokkuri and Kohina.

In terms of art, I found it adorable. Kohina is usually in doll mode, and the others typically switch between their human-form and animal form. The human-forms are good-looking, while the animal-forms are so cute. I usually have a crush on fox-spirit characters, so that's a bonus.

In terms of the characters, I liked Kohina and Kokkuri. Kohina is such a mood in her coping mechanism. You can see how much she doesn't want to acknowledge her feelings because she's scared to explore new territories. On the other hand, Kokkuri is such a wonderful fox spirit. There were times where he was a bit weird, but you can feel how much he cares for Kohina. I love their bond. Inugami was a bit too weird, but there were rare times where I liked him. Shiragaki is hiding his personality - he is adorable, but there are times when he was too pervy. The other characters weren't that necessary, and they don't contribute much to the plot except for comic reliefs. There isn't much progress to the development of the characters, but I guess you can't expect much from a twelve-episode anime.

NOTE: If you don't want to stick for the whole twelve episodes, only watch the first and last ones. They were the best, and I enjoyed watching it a lot.

SHOULD YOU WATCH IT: If you want something light, heartwarming, and your type of humor involves savage dialogues, stupid interactions, green jokes, then yes.

WOULD I WATCH AGAIN: I probably might, but I would skip some episodes.

I do remember enjoying this but after re-watching the opening song and a few other scenes, I realized that i remember BARELY anything INCLUDING the characters. I mean I watched 47 animes after this one so it has been ages since watching it but i guess nowadays, the impression of the show isn't as big as it was when it first came out.
As far as i remember. The story was bizzare, I just checked again and Kokkuri-San was loveable and a lil funny i suppose. The main kiddos artstyle might be one thing memorable from this. She was cute, Doll-Like (literally) and definately unique. There ... was also a dog like character in a suit that can change gender i think? And maybe a snake dude?... wait was that from this or Kamisama Hajimemashita.. WHATEVER.
IN ANY CASE, It's short and fun so i'd say give it a shot :3

Ah, Gugure! Kokkuri-san, a masterpiece of storytelling, a true work of art. A girl named Kohina summons a fox spirit named Kokkuri to be her servant, and what follows is a rollercoaster of emotions and excitement. Actually, no, it's just a bunch of silly antics and absurd situations. But who cares about a coherent plot anyway, right?

About the Style is the epitome of sophistication and elegance. Just kidding, it's actually pretty average. But what it lacks in visual flair, it makes up for in sheer ridiculousness. From Kokkuri's creepy obsession with Kohina to the absurd antics of the other spirits, this show is a wild ... ride from start to finish.

Let's talk about Kohina, the main character. She's a deadpan, emotionless girl who seems to be completely unfazed by the crazy world she finds herself in. In other words, she's the perfect audience surrogate for this bizarre anime. And let's not forget Kokkuri, the titular fox spirit who is simultaneously creepy and endearing. He's like a furry stalker, but somehow you can't help but root for him.

Overall, It's a show that doesn't take itself too seriously and is just plain fun to watch. If you're in the mood for some absurd humor and wacky characters, then this anime is definitely worth checking out. Just don't expect a deep, thought-provoking narrative or anything like that. But who needs that when you have a fox spirit wearing a maid outfit, am I right?
