God of cars lol

Man, this show has some bizarre characters but in a creative way. We also got some trouble at a local school involving a mystical beast. This anime really has unpredictable moments and I love it.

Decent episode with more cool and mysterious creatures.

Buchio is doing his best to live a normal life.

That car spirit, Nishiya Chiaki a.k.a Wagen-kun, was so random, lol.

It was nice to see Jiro flying for the first time.

Hmm, kinda weird cliffhanger. I didn't expect this show to take a Sci-Fi route all of a sudden.

Such a solid show, perhaps a bit too unfocused to reach the level of Natsume Yuujinchou but the characters are really well fleshed out and the animation is top notch.

This anime just makes supernatural element feel very natural to me, as if it's non-fiction (is that a gay german car yokai enter a same-sex civil partnership?). At first I assumed Tokyo would have almost no supernatural beings but look like there are a lot even in a big city. My estimate population ratio between human and non-human is probably 50:50.

This anime mix fantasy with slice-of-life perfectly, to the point that even the word "perfect" is not enough to compliment. But here's the main concern, look like there'll be a sci-fi element too, like a rift in dimension. It's almost impossible to add sci-fi into the already perfectly balanced slice of life/fantasy anime, but if it can do without losing quality, then this will definitely be the best anime of this season, and potentially a nomination for the best anime of the year.

Wow, this episode really opened up the world and introduced so many interesting concepts and characters.

Wagen-san (first name Volks?) stands out as the most fun, and I think there could be a good story there (since he's in the OP, too)

The cast of characters is just too good; even the random minor characters thrown here and there in this episode are already winning over me.
Also, the way the plot progress and the various sub-plots connected to it start unrolling is pretty good.

Another excellent episode!


Chiaki 'Wagen' Nishiya incarnated itself in a 1974-1983 Volkswagen Golf Mk1. In 2024, the VW Golf completes 50 years in production.

We finally met the volkswagen, although just briefly (thankfully). I'm still only interested in what Jirou and Buchio are up to.

Damn, a dragon god residing in the waters for protection, that's quite unusual.

Buchio being invited to Tokyo by Jiro to see the star comedian and Sanmoto Gorozaemon, he's also a fellow Yokai, but a Demon King kind. Him being impressed of Buchio and wanting him to work under his wing, it's a great offer. Meanwhile, Mutsumi seeing Jiro having a sleep, she thought that he was dead, but it's actually from jealousy that she loves him dearly. However, Bochio rescinds the offer, knowing that he still has room left to improve as a nekomata.

Buchio is learning so many things, from part-time work to being a driver...and lols, a Volkswagen Golf tsukumogami Yokai named Nishiya "Wagen" Chiaki, even he has to pass Japanese citizenship and a driving license to be able to self-drive within Japanese land. Even the Dragon God who model after the human look of idols, even she too is wary of Buchio falling into Sanmoto's trap, which Sakaki offers Buchio some advice from working together with Buchio.

A raiju falling from the cracks of the sky, this is a case for Jiro to handle and bring it back to the rip. But this too, raises alarms about their hometown being targeted for something.

Lots of supernatural elements going around...

The Dragon God was definitely voiced by Mamiko Noto, wasn't she? She had the exact same voice and way of speaking as Benten from Uchouten Kazoku, which is instantly recognisable to me.

So there's another nekomata in Tokyo, working for some high-powered company executive who happens to be a demon king. It's fascinating how these youkai are integrated into society overall, not just in rural areas.

And a car tsukumogami named Wagen? That's both hilarious and awesome.

While I think the idea of ​​a conscious car being quasi-BL paired with his owner is incredibly fun on a meta level, it still makes surprising sense in this setting.

Buchio in city seem fun, would like whole side story of him making it big there. Sakaki quite kind to him.
lol Sanmoto kinda silly rude. miss the nice food. lots cute funny Buchio faces.
Jiro & Mutsumi much comfy. Wagen is weird, lol his backstory. Dragon god somehow reminds of opm.
rather fast paced, but interesting philosophies from the varied cast.
Raiju, yuki onna & spiderman Tsuchida was cool need more of em.
Space distortion... we suddenly DAL?

Oh, so we have a god and a demon in the same universe and they seem to be getting along, albeit the god seems to be wary of the demon.

Buchio is so adorable. Him wanting to stay with the family made me tear up a little. I honestly wouldn't mind living in their village.

ONLY NOW did I notice that there is 1 new/different scene in the middle of every ED. Checked all previous episodes to make sure. This episode, it's Mao with the black nekomata.
