| A sports day theme episode and we got a spiritual fox. This one felt it had more energy compared to the first one. Some of the cast has more charisma than I had anticipated and they're keeping the show's themes refreshing. I'm looking for more and so far, another solid episode imo. |
 |
| Not a fan of that random romantic subplot *yawn*, but otherwise a nice episode. Poor Yuri. I wonder what happened to her in her past. Betobeto-san's mini car was cute. :3 I can't wait to see how the dark plot is going to develop. |

| Very good episode. ^_^ Loving the characters |
| I need somebody who can love me at my worst No, I'm not perfect, but I hope you see my worth 'Cause it's only you, nobody new, I put you first And for you, girl, I swear I'll do the worst If you stay forever, let me hold your hand I can fill those places in your heart no else can Let me show you love, oh, I don't pretend, yeah I'll be right here, baby, you know I'll sink or swim |
| Another fantastic and sweet episode this show is so chill and the characters are so lovable. |
| Solid little episode again and I have to say, this isn't the sexiest title or one that stands out a lot but it's fairly reliable, consistent and wholesome with a little dash of intrigue in the more darker elements teased. Although some of the interactions can feel a bit bland at times, still feel like this has been a decent start to the season for this show. Don't think it is a great one just yet but do feel like there is room for improvement as the series progresses. |
| Not a bad episode by any means, but I can’t say I found myself any bit invested considering how vanilla these characters and interactions are. Then again, Natsume’s Book of Friends set too high a bar for me nowadays with these sorts of youkai-centric setups. |
 |
| each one of them has a sad backstory that they don't wanna talk about or can't talk about. and hanako-san's right on the money knowing what rain came to see her about lol |

| We need to talk about Betobeto-san's cool minicar. I think it's designed after one of the old Fiat 500 convertible models.  |

| @Avvenirista You are right, it is a scaled down 1957-1975 Fiat Cinquecento (500). A cute car. |

| The tonal shifts are crazy. One moment it's a cute interracial school slice of life, the next we have albino snakes abducting a little girl... However, I just love this style! The pacing is great and there's so much to be told in this world! |
| I love Slice of Life anime. They are the best for relaxing when you feel a bit down. In this case they also seem to be cooking something emotional, which is always a plus in my book. |
| Another beautiful episode. Love how this has everything. It's wholesome, cute, intriguing, ominous. I wonder if Nekomata Buchio is Mutsumi's reincarnated dad perhaps? |
| I can't, I just CANNOT believe what I'm seeing. Such a beautiful and intriguing show. It looks like nothing special, and "nothing really happens," but I feel there's something pure and simple underneath. Sigmar-Unberogen said: I wonder if Nekomata Buchio is Mutsumi's reincarnated dad perhaps? That's actually a crazy idea. I'm not sure about straight-up reincarnation, but I feel like there's a definite connection. All yokai supposedly have a purpose, and Mutsumi had a hole in her life. |

| Yes, it's difficult to overstate how pleased I am having another series like this which seems very in the vein of Flying Witch or Hakumei to Mikochi come out. Although this is a lot more dramatic, both overtly and in subtle cues and framing of certain happenings, than either of those, which (the dramatic factor) is also something I love. Not that I think those other two needed more drama or emotional weight. Flying Witch specifically is my favorite iyashikei Slice of Life and like what I consider the gold standard of iyashikei precisely for its absence of drama, romance, or even overly present or jarring comedy. That's a unique thing in and of itself of how calm and lowkey it was. This is more like a cross between either of those series and something like Zettai Shounen or Mushishi, where the presence of death and loss and burden of time and mystery is more felt. Though comfortably relegated to the fringes a nice amount of the time when more calm conversations and relaxed antics can be indulged in. It's also weird how this small valley community almost feels like the only place in the world in a both simultaneously isolated and cozy way, like a town on the edge of oblivion similar to Glie. This may be the first time I'm watching one from among that subset of SoL as a seasonal. |

| Those athletic day events were something else, oh my god. First, there were those floating mouths catching children, and then there was a volunteer Yuuki casually giving small children frostbite, all to the cheers of the crowd. Mutsumi and Jirou have a really sweet relationship, but the shadows consuming people are adding an even darker layer to this story. |

| It's nice seeing Buchio getting along with all of the other Yokai and humans, as such with the backyard dinner at Yuri's place, but at the same time, questioning his existence, of which he still has aways to go. That said, the romance between a human and a kappa Yokai, between Sano Ryo and Rain Nakagawa, having to put all that love and attention into the athletic festival, they're for sure trying, but they'll get there. And with the actual sports day, Nakagawa giving her best is all that matters. As for Mutsumi, her being almost close to being deranged against the darkness, it's thankful that Jiro came in time to save her out from danger. Even with Yuri, Buchio asking a senseless question to which Yuri flares up against her own circumstances, it's definitely a polar opposite situaiton where Tanaka is there for her and hearing out her issues. The black miasma of where Betobeto used to be from, the shadows of loneliness and scary things, it's just of note for now, but who knows what it'll bring. |
