As i feared ...

Well, let's look into this shall we ?

- Edgy black haired male MC forcing girl to marry him.
- Bland female MC with nothing and anything interesting.
- Second male MC (this time white hair - how unexpected) kind, gentle.
- 2 more males comming.

Yep ... this is otome as hard as it can be.


But i will continue watching, because "shrine" anime are like always good. Also 26 episodes ? Will this cover the whole thing ?


am gonna second this
been reading the light novel up to the latest translated volume and i can tell you there's no otome /reverse harmen(?) involved tho there is little romance involved
and the oni... isnt edgy but he actually cares for Aoi and actually does that to scare her
am guessing this is gonna cover until vol 5 as the ending speaks of a ceremony
(sorry if this is considered a spoiler)
na man thanks if it was a reverse harem I would quit.

I added it to my list a while ago when I read about the ayakashi and stuff (and yes, it reminded me of Kamisama but I won't compare or anything like that).

First of all, the opening was quite nice but I think I prefer the ending.
About the episode... I like the art style and after I finished it... I felt like watching more :(

Looking forward to know more about all this :D

First half of the episode was meh for me, to be honest the man oni was quite unlikable and uninteresting for me (have to agree with the "edgy" description), but I kinda liked Ginji and the set up with the little restaurant. I'll give this few more episodes, even though I feel like there's gonna be a love triangle between the main three, and when that happens I'm out.

I get a very distinct Kamisama Kiss vibe from this and I love it!

Both male characters are nice to look at and have very different personalities. So far Ginji is my favorite because he does remind me a lot of Tomoe. The Ogre God is a close second because he just gives off a vibe that he seems like he is cruel, but really isn't.

Aoi not only has a good head on her shoulders, but is hard working and a good cook.

Definitely my favorite first episode of the season and one that I will definitely watch til the end!
So glad that I'm not a huge manga reader, because the manga readers WHINE WAY TOO MUCH and have to RUIN every adapted anime for the ANIME ONLY WATCHERS!

It was an alright first episode, but that was to be expected since it was just an introduction. They definitely put enough plot hooks and suggestions to keep me interested.

It's between okay / I liked it. I think people always watch anime with high expectations if you do that you'll always be let down tbh. There's a lot of serious anime out this season and I just want something to watch without thinking much. I liked Hanasaku Iroha, Konohana Kitan, Kamisama Kiss, Natsume Yuujinchou, Spirited Away, and Youkai Apartment and it gives those vibes to a certain extent which is what I expected. So far I'd rate episode 1 a 7 the animation was a bit wonky but that's just Gonzo I guess..... Meh seems like most anime studios are lacking with animation lately. People complain about the story but if its entertaining I'll watch it. Don't dig too deep with small details or you'll be disappointed with most anything in animes/movies and various things in life :). It's not a masterpiece but it's not bad.

I like Touyama Nao but i think she doesn't suit the character very well this time.

I usually get bored very easily with this kind of pseudo otome harem, so I hope we get more of the time expended in the supernatural and adventure events than the "love story".

An average start.

Very mediocre so far. It seems like an obvious wish-fulfillment fantasy for women. I mean, a hot oni wants to marry her against her will, he's both dangerous and sexy, but also kind. I bet he's also secretly been in love with her for a while. Hopefully it will get more interesting.

This looks rather similar to Kamisama Kiss however they only have similar aspects to them... I'm pretty sure between those two the way they present themselves are different.

But this was really damn sweet, not gonna lie.

So it's like Mahoutskai no Yome but with actual romance... it's a little offputting and the production values aren't high but it's competent enough. I might stick with it if there aren't any better reverse harem type shows this season. The white-haired guy was so good that the black haired one was bearable.

The music was really nice.

I don't know anything about the source, just found the show cause the art looked kinda neat. That said I'm a little concerned about the show, it seems like a very simple premise and I'm not sure they can get 26 episodes out of this. It seems like Ancient Magus Bride's spirit wants to marry a human, and from the post credits and ending scenes what seems like Natsume Yuujinchou.

I'm sure they could go well together, but I'm not sure if this is what will do it well. I'll give it a few more episodes of course.

Catchy OP and ED, I like them.

Decent first episode in my opinion. It was enjoyable and interesting enough. It has both that lighthearted and touching feel. Might come to enjoy this one a lot. So far, it could go both ways, especially with 26 episodes.

But so far, so good, though.

We're off to a decent start. Aoi feels a bit generic with not much personality going for her. Her entrance to the ayakashi world and the interest of several males in her kinda feels like wish fulfillment. The animation looks adequate and the voice performances are above average. Since this is only the first episode, I'm gonna give this show the benefit of the doubt since its premise looks interesting and harmless and offers a good opportunity for world building

While not wholly offensive, I found this show grating for me. Seems like Kamisama Kiss x Spirited Away without any of the quality that can be found in either. I'll give it another two episodes to wow me but this wasn't a great start.

The otome angle is obvious. The character writing is, to be frank, bad. The dialogue and reactions to everything aren't even remotely believable. Also, can we please stop with the stockholm syndrome romances. I let Ancient Magus get away with it since it was about Chise breaking the bonds of her past and Elias' desire to control her but this girl seems to have a pretty alright life after her grandpa showed up.

Very bland and badly executed first episode.
Most major flaws:
- Bland main character with tragic backstory (mother mistreated her and grandfather died)
-> Doesn't want to marry an ogre but rather pay off her grandfathers dept (~800.000$) by working in their realm: Problem: nobody wants her, the kitchen (her only plot-convinience skill) is for some unknown reason not open for women. Also: She is (or at least should be) in constant danger of being eaten. Also: Her dept would even at above median salary and ignoring expenses such as food and rent take over 15 years to pay off.
-> As shown be the problems seems to be very stupid
- Bland Villan/Main Guy 1
-> forces her to marry him for unknown reasons (exept for dept, which is a stupid reason as it shouldn't lead to marrying someone who is BAD/insufficient for you such as a normal human), which he does not dare explain to convince bland main girl to marry him when she refuses
-> Is somehow "kindhearted"
- Bland Main Guy 2/Fox Boy
-> Is very kind to main girl for no apperent reason exept for "oh we need some nice guy for main girl not to fail instantly"
-> Really likes main girl's food (because we need her to have a useful trait)
-> Has "dead" restaurant, because we need main girl to have a job using her only useful trait
- Storytelling issues
-> Worldbuilding is highly insufficient (we learn near nothing about it) and is done through narration for unknown reasons (very basic and bland world building technique)
-> Characters act for stupid/unknown reasons in stupid ways as to drive the plot further
-> Fails to make me care for any of the characters and what might happen

And this is only listing the main issues I have with this first episode.

Overall: 3/10 (Very Bad)

I can sum up this anime and episode in Three words. "This is terrible" My god I was literally falling asleep watching this anime it was so bad. Okay maybe "bad" isn't the right word to use. Let's go with unpleasant. It felt really fast paced, and they basically forced everything on you.
Aoi just accepted her grandfather wasn't garbage in the end lol. Like girl he sold your rights!!!!

Ill give it 2 more episodes but this...meh borderline dropped

Must say that I rather enjoyed this first episode. The atmosphere and characters are working well for me.

The food porn segment at the end felt a bit out of place, but I think this was a good start. They packed a lot into this episode. Let’s see if they can keep it going at a good pace... especially since this appears to be a two cour show.

I've seen worse first episodes. I consider this one slightly above average in terms of entertainment, interest, and actually caring about what is going on, but there were a lot of issues with it as well. Regardless, a first episode that actually makes me want to see the second episode to see how things will turn out is a good episode.

you dont have to speak so bad as if this is trash. This is only episode 1. I didnt watch Kamisama so no comments. Based from what i read the novel till end of vol 4, theres lot more to offer than what we see in the first episode. Theres just a handful of anime with awesome debut episode.

Totally baseless speculation: Oni was probably the ayakashi who saved her as a child, and at some point he and Grandpa worked out a deal so that Oni would take care of Aoi after Grandpa died. Grandpa's "debt" was an intentional setup and is probably for her wedding dress. XD
Guessing the two in the ending are a wolf and a tengu. Got less feelings of otome/harem than them being antagonistic towards the Oni with Aoi as a possible target to get to him thru.

Please, no one who knows the source confirm/deny. XD It'll be more fun to watch and see for myself.


I can only say i finished vol 4 but still didnt reveal who is the actual savior. There are clues but not that obvious.

I greatly recommend to watch kamisama kiss it's a great anime! :) every episodes was spectacular and btw sorry for my trashy words I am disappointed because people compare this anime to kamisama kiss. Okay I will presume that this is a slow type phase anime so I will lessen my expectation :)

I'm sure that if it really was Oni then the author will hold off revealing that until the very last moment sometime during the final arc. >_>;; That IS how these things usually work after all.

Hmm so the ayakashi are mysterious beings that can be both helpful but also dangerous huh. The one's that Aoi fed though were cute though. To think that Aoi was treated that badly by her mother because she had that ability though. Wow to offer his granddaughter as collateral though. Working instead of marriage huh. Aoi sure is independent. Though it will place her more at risk though. Hmm seems that the inn's staff really are opposed to Aoi. Hmm given her skills operating a eatery might be a good path for her. An interesting first episode that did well to introduce the hidden realm, the inn and the characters.

It was a pretty good start. Seems like the typical sweet, light-hearted fun series. I think it could have been way better if the budget was higher, but I guess I'll get used to it.

The nine tail demon look suspicious. I'm guessing it's him. Remind me of how Inu X Boku story goes. XD
Also the op really remind me of senbonzakura. That was a really good op so far for this season really liking it.

I had to pause halfway through to make sure that this was, in fact, the first episode. So much expository narration and tactless dialogue, describing things that we should already have been shown. That said, the concept is interesting enough, and I enjoy the design and animation of all the characters (particularly main girl). Think I saw some cool CGI cherry blossoms too. Affable (if a little milquetoast) cast of characters. Touch of dry humour was also appreciated. If the next episode goes back and fills in some of the gaps, I'll keep watching. However, this show, both for what it is and what it wants to be, could have started a lot better.

This episode was kinda funny but great.I simply loved the characters and I am very glad for Katsuyuki Konishi for being the co-protagonist as he didn't receive a really important character since America/Canada from Hetalia,Dreyfus from Nanatsu no Taizai and my beloved Reiji from Diabolik Lovers.

I am pretty sure I will love it to the end

I was getting a huge Kamisama Kiss type vibe from the first episode, except Nanami was a much more interesting MC than Aoi. While they both have the same character design on the surface, I felt like Nanami was a lot more reasonable and had more flavor than Aoi. All we know about Aoi so far is that she 1. Works hard, 2. Likes/is used to being alone, and 3. Likes cooking... okay? Maybe I'm asking a bit too much from a lighthearted show like this, but if the MC is interesting than I feel like everything else will fall into place as well. That being said I'm still intrigued by the setting so hopefully episode 2 brings more to the table.

Minha primeira impressão foi de que parecia com kamisama hajimemashita e com Mahoutsukai no yome. Uma menina que pode ver coisas que outros humanos não podem, um cara( que parece do mal, mas que é gentil) que já chega dizendo que ela é noiva dele, e uma raposa branca. '-' Não gostei muito da animação. A Op foi boazinha. Bem razoável esse começo.
