That was great. PA works strikes gold again I think :3 Lol @ raccoons and spirits. Oh and just love the theme of the show . Nice kiss lol. ED song was okay as well, not too catchy but noticeable.

I liked the art style, a bit simplified drawing & vivid coloring, which reminded me of Tsuritama. I liked the painting on the sliding doors of the old man's room.
The OP song was cheerful and nice. The art style of ED felt like homage to 60s.
The geographical setting is nice: it's Kyoto!
The MC is a crossdresser & smoker!
Character design is avarage or maybe intentionally simplified like Katanagatari.

Overall the series seems promising. At least the 1st episode was enjoyable to me.

So many scenes from Kyoto !! I recognize quite a lot of them, to my great delight. This is so filled with love about Kyoto the city and the folklores of Japan. Character design is a bit less characteristic of Kumeta Kouji (perhaps with the exception of the school girls LoL) which makes it not stand out as much. Still the art and rhythm is very pleasing. And did I mention the Kyoto it depicts is so gorgeous?
So MAL finally starts locking news threads that are only a few weeks old?

I wonder where was the announcement of this change? Or we are seeing yet another case of changes made that impacted users but not communicated to them?

I wonder how long people would put up with this.

As much as I have a bunch of information to share about anime announced recently I cannot share it in news board, and the anime series is too disorganized and chaotic to share information except with people already interested in the particular series.

I like the MC! Except that he smokes and drinks, which I didn't expect.

Beautiful scenery. I'm pretty confused about the story so far, but the first episode looked good so I'll be watching.

Thank The Lord for the flurry of announcements CR made yesterday, been looking forward to this for a while now.

I like the world the series sets up with the harmony of tanuki, tengu, and humans and want to see that fleshed out more, which I'm sure it will.

Shimogamo seems interesting enough, kinda funny how he transforms into a schoolgirl just to spice up master's life.

I came here for Kouji's designs and this is basically what I expected it to be, i'm so glad.

The backgrounds are lovely to look at and the MC is pretty great so far.

love the character designs since they're done by the same person as sayonara zetsubou sensei
love the dynamics between the tengu, tanuki, and humans - can't wait to see more of that in later episodes.
the little brother is so goshdarn cute. seriously.
and the MC liking to disguise himself as a high school girl ... ah i love it. XD
animation style is vibrant and really brings the city of Kyoto to life - super fun to watch

i feel like this is one of the more underrated titles of the season ... T_T

That was really interesting. I love P.A Works and I wasn't disappointed. The scenery of Kyoto looked really nice. The MC was great and funny. The OP was not the best of this season but still nice. I'm not sure about the ED. I guess it will grow on me. Definitely looking foward to see more of this!

He keeps performing multiple plastic surgeries on those Shingeki No Kyojin characters in a SINGLE chapter.
Yes, I've read up to the latest chapter of Shingeki No Kyojin manga.
Forced myself to read through the kidsketching chapters after the anime's ended. At least from now on, I only have to go through the hell once a month.
Patiently awaiting SNK TV/movie/OVA anime-sequel.
The 2015 SNK live-action movie would probably suck.

That face the dude made when Yasaburou flipped his skirt sure is something I can imagine Kumeta Kouji would draw.

I wonder if he can even transform his nether regions?

This show seems interesting enough. I'll stick with it.

What a fun and interesting first episode. Wasn't expecting the schoolgirl to be actually male though, but his reason for transforming into a girl is pretty nice. His little brother is really cute too. For some reason, everyone is afraid of Benten? Is she a human or not, because she says she is human yet she can fly like a tengu? As well as when she kissed Yasaburou, she left ice on his lips. o_o

This was probably my favorite first episode so far this season. I tend to really enjoy anime that involve Japanese folklore mixed into a more modern setting. I of course loved Kouji's character designs, but the writing and overall art work was great. This is going to be one I'm looking forward to every week.

The scenery is beautiful and the art is unique. But I'm lost, what exactly happened this episode?

Main = Raccoon that can transform
Old Man = Tengu that can no longer fly
Purple Hair Woman = Normal human that can fly

Is what I mainly got from the episode O:

But maybe PA works does something good for a change?

Very Interesting, it was enjoyable. Although i dont really understand why that human girl can fly and such.

Very... strange anime yet I kinda liked this episode. I don't understand why that Benten woman decided to kiss our main character (whom for some reason likes to transform into a girl) but perhaps the plot will thicken next episode. Seems like a nice and relaxed anime, I'm looking forward to the next episode.

It does remind me of Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei (especially with the old guy whom lost his soul when our main character flipped his/her skirt) and Katanagatari... interesting mix.

Intriguing 1st episode. I want to know more of the story now!!! And that little brother tanuki is so cute especially when the dog bark at him and his tail showed up. And the big brother too when he saw the main character! The art totally reminds me of Tatami galaxy and Sayonara Zetsobou Sensei.

Japanese folklore in form of tengu, tanuki and probably other fantastic phenomenons all this placed in Kyoto,together make very peculiar atmosphere. Seems to be one of more interesting anime this season. Can't wait for next episode!

Wow, I gave it 9/10 already, just finished the first episode.
Gaped the whole time. The biggest and nicest surprise for me this season.
Looks like mature SoL with a very well blending supernatural themes. And the characters are nothing short than awesome.
