| Heh, I came into this show what to expect and they tried to make the show look cute. Matsuri is a bit of a hothead as I had expected. Suzu is very adorable protecting that cat. We did get some obvious fan service thanks to Matsuri's lack of common sense. On the other hand, Matsuri seems like a kind person by protecting Suzu based on their past. Definitely watching this for popcorn entertainment. |

| Yup, this was what I expected of mangaka Kentarou Yabuki, considering his roots being the Black Cat and To-Love Ru series, serialized on Weekly Shonen Jump. The manga has been on my radar for quite some time, so the anime coming out now is a good time to read and watch both sources. The cat ayakashi Shirogane, the exorcist ninja Matsuri Kazamaki and his childhood friend Suzu Kanade, this is just the type of rom-com I anticipated that's much replicated from To-Love Ru. Suzu's world that she can only see the spirits, this is only shared with Matsuri, but stopped when she learns that he comes from a family of exorcists, of which he's deemed to be the next successor that the Kazamaki family specializes in wind-based Jutsu. Suzu is expecting a typical romantic life being all that horny, but forget her and Matsuri being together. In regard to Shirogane, he is the king of the ayakashi, but Suzu treats it like any other ordinary cat that it treats her like a maiden, which these ayakashi mediums like her are the perfect candidates for sacrifice and their powers are not easily sensed, which Matsuri consistently warned her not to get close to the spirits in those 3 years. Not all ayakashi are bad that treats her like fodder, and Matsuri definitely felt her ki being different for Shirogane. Some impressive action between Shirogane and Matsuri, and using his grandfather's scroll that he solely kept for 30 years just to seal Shirogane, it looked like everything is about to go to plan...except at the last minute, Shirogane imbued a gender swap change within Matsuri to stop their rom-com. Giving up manhood for a different life, this is a wild rom-com lols. That said...there is the AT-X uncensored version coming tomorrow. Hope that will have some good entertainment. forget it, even the AT-X version is censored. The BDs will definitely be, which will be THE ONLY uncensored version, which sucks. |

| Yeah it seems like the bd and dvd version are the ones which are going to be fully uncensored welp. Let's hope that the tomorrow airing atx version at least has less censor. If not then this is an anime for bd dvd viewing lol. |

I'm not only watching for the ecchi, but for the fight scenes too. Are you a troll mate, the manga nearly has non existent fight scenes maybe one every 10 or so chapters. This is mainly an ecchi series with a gender bender twist, lmao. Where do those shills come from that say in an ecchi anime series forum "i'M wAtChInG iT fOr ThE fIgHts" lmao. |

| Nahhh connect actually snapped on the production values and the fight scenes lmao. Love the gimmick with Suzu being the horny one instead of the guy in this series. Fender bender twist is gonna be fun as well. Doesn’t look like it’ll be as good as TLR, but hopefully it’ll hold us over till we get more of that. Sadly doesn’t look like it’ll be watchable on crunchyroll if they’re gonna do this censoring bullshit. |

| The music is amazing, the battles are great. Sucks about the censorship... Manga's still great though |
 |
| Gender bender ain't my thing but this is the only exception. |

| What is up with those huge badonkas? I'm in. |
| The OST was so good. I'm hooked. |
| Peak fiction is out. I was skeptical but the anime actually looked pretty good. And the voice acting was great too. They fit so well. Obviously the manga is goated but the anime still should be a fun watch. Can't wait for the uncensored version. |

| what is " Magical sex shift"? |
 |
| Oh! That was actually pretty funny. |
| Quantum ille canis est in fenestra |
| The OP is an absolute banger. That cat is the ultimate cock-block. I hope they capture him, and neuter him. |
 |
| i feel like this is season is packed with genderbends but i haven't seen the others. jesus, this anime is weirdly censored even on crunchyroll. |
 |
| That was honestly a great first episode, it actually surpassed my expectations. Animation, art, and the OST were all great. And "woke" Sony strikes yet again with their ecchi anime with nudity lol |

| Tired of waiting for an uncensored version Shirogane is a fitting villain for a series you're not supposed to take seriously anyway. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |

Mobiletortoise said: AT-X version is airing tomorrowSo far so good, hoping we get uncensored versions before the BD release, but other wise the production/animation/music were all pretty good! |

| Went into this pretty much blind, didn't even really read the full synopsis. This went in a direction I didn't quite expect XD. I love gender bender anime, so this was a nice surprise lmao. |
| I am become bunny, fluffing of worlds. |
| Lol this will definitely be a fun watch as long as you turn off your brain and don't take it seriously. I'll be sure to revisit this episode when the uncensored version drops for uh, research purposes hahaha....... |
| People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime. Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait. MAL is literally just anime Twitter as its own website lol. |

| Ayakashi in the title and Shirogane resembling Madara gave me expectations that I shouldn't have had. It seems like it's going to be less about ayakashi and more about the romance between 2 girls when one is a boy. If it was supposed to be funny or humorous, I didn't get it. I'll pass. |
| Welp gonna be waiting for the AT-X version starting now, and nice To Love Ru reference with Run on gramps' magazine, ya love to see it. |
 |
| Mal Score looks pretty pathetic right now. Guess the TLR fandom isn't here to upvote the show against the NPC mob. The gap between TLR Darkness 2nd and this show is too wide. I do like to love ru reference of run. But still have mixed feelings on this, which means I am iffy on getting the jp blu ray. What made TLR standout was the sheer creativity in ecchi with the extremely creative situations and abundance of girls. Even though Hasemi promised TLR will return, Yabuki acted like he wanted to avoid returning at all costs. He tried to keep the Darling in the Franxx manga going even though the creators wanted to end it. Instead of returning to TLR, he made this. Hearing what people said about the manga, it won't be as good as TLR As for the anime, no cgi, and the characters look well drawn. Almost similiar to Tsunako recently. But the colors are way too washed out for an Aniplex production. But the fights aren't particularly impressive to me, and I wouldn't mind if they used cgi. |

| Can't find anything interesting here for me, maybe it's because this is aimed to guys 20 years younger than me. I'll give it an "another episode" pass, to see if its worth of my time or not. |
| No tomo malas decisiones, solo me gusta apoyar causas perdidas. Disfruté Mayoiga, Ou-sama Game, Evil or Live, Mirai Nikki, Big Order, Arifureta, Ex-Arm, Tesla Note, Shuumatsu no Harem y Platinum End nope les falle con esa, lo siento pero todos tenemos nuestros límites. Así de jodido es mi gusto en anime, ¡Y estoy pinche orgulloso de ello!  |
