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.

After finishing "Gugure! Kokkuri-san" I had to think to myself: What makes an anime good? Is it the person's expectations going in? Because I came for the comedy and at no point throughout the entirety of the show was I ever disappointed. In fact, comedy is the only thing that this show even makes an attempt at, and boy does it do it well (although there is a recurring message in the show if you can pick it out). I'll try my best to tell you my thoughts on the show, and if you hate the very core of my being ... after this review than I'm sure we can talk it out like civilized people.

Characters- The show has a diverse and hilarious cast to ensure that you will laughing at, at least 1 of the 5 gags/jokes this show throws at you per minute. 8/10

I'm starting with characters because to be honest... If you don't like the characters you will not enjoy the show. Kokkuri himself is portrayed as an attractive spirit struggling with a mid-life crisis due to him fearing for his relevance in the the modern world. Although he's a man he has many intricacies that one would normally associate with women. This takes form (literally) later on in the show. Now Kohina can be a really hit or miss character with some people. Her design is extremely deformed in comparison to all of the other characters (which turns a lot of people off), but anyone who is familiar with "Oyasumi Punpun" should have at least some idea of whats really going on there. She is the center of all insanity that happens in each episode. Shigaraki was probably my favorite character although he started out as my least favorite. Another spirit who often brings misfortune to others, but despite this he is a true romantic. Inugami is yandere dog who died from neglect but was reincarnated into the world as a spirit. He/she gender swaps often due forgetting his/her gender in the previous life. Characters interactions were entertaining throughout.

Sound/art- My roommate walked in on me dancing to the opening and said "wtf are you doing bro." 10/10

The opening is cleverly done, full of personality, and of course catchy as hell. The ending is good as well, and the shows OST is funny sounding... in the best way possible. As for the art I'd say its completely average. I mean sure it has a certain style to it, but in comparison to many other shows released this year there really is nothing notable about it.

Story- Its serves its purpose as being the catalyst for the numerous gags, jokes, and satirical content this show offers. 6/10

From the first 2 episodes you will know whether this show is for you or not. The series seems to enjoy taunting its viewers with scenarios that in many other shows would be clear indicators of: DRAMA INCOMING! only to slap you along with your expectations across the face. This happens a lot. But its FUNNY EVERY TIME. Although I'd be lying if I said I didn't want to see some drama play out. Either way the synopsis pretty much says it all, and the way the story presents itself is favorable.

Conclusion- If you want some laughs look no further! This is your show! If you want anything else... Its a questionable endeavor. I gave it a great 8 because not many shows can make me laugh as much as this one did.

Should Watch:
-If Satire/parody is your thing, because this show has every western/Japanese pop culture gag you can think of.
-Had a rough day? Just sit back and laugh it off!
-Fun Characters that will grow on you.

Should avoid:
-If you want some sort of meaningful romance/drama.
-Some gags get repetitive

Gugure Kokkuri-San has come to an end. Another ending which make me feel ugh, what to watch again. Honestly this is the funniest anime to watch in 2014. This reminds me of barakemon and Gekkan Shoujo Nozaki Kun, those two anime shows were really great. I really like the voice actors typically Daisuke Ono, who voice of course Kokkuri and Sensei from Barakemon.

So here are my results:

Story: 8/10, I thought it might follow the plot story like Inugami running away from home and thought he will be search by the members on EP 10, but well he is completely ignored. Funny, it may contain mix ...

Amusing, funny, and full of heartwarming moments, Gugure! Kokkuri-San managed to captivate me with it's unique charm and cast of characters.

There were too many things I liked about this show so I'll try and keep it short and sweet, just like Kohina.

Perhaps the best thing I loved most was the characters. Ordinarily, I like unique Anime shows, that offer a large to Medium variety of characters. However, Gugure! Kokkuri-San has such a small amount of characters and I just loved them. The characters of the show are obviously from Japanese mythology and games. These spirits that are supposed to be terrifying all have such the ...
