| Isayama Hajime should be awarded The Manga with The Highest Inconsistencies of Characters' Appearances. 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. |
| Why did the new girl blush when Saeki's dad talked about compromising? |
| This was a nice episode. |
 |
| That was a decent episode. I love slice of life animes and this rly hits my taste buds. It has this Natsume Yuujinchou vibes , when every episodes convey different conflicts. I like it , my SOL of 2013 ? |

| Okay this is officially one of the best animes this season. This is what i've been looking for! Each episode just gives this great feeling, loving it! |
Aggron said: Why did the new girl blush when Saeki's dad talked about compromising? Well sometimes you just have to adapt to certain environments so that people don't "run into eachother" Atleast that's how I interpreted it. |
| This show manages to piss me off each episode so far. I mean, wtf was that bullying scene...but I really loved the resolution for this episode. So it makes up for it. Yumi and Hiwako as friends is really nice. :) Plus I love how Yumi dealt with the situation in the washroom. I doubt Hiwako will really just get away with disobeying her parents like that... But I agree that this show needs to spice up a bit, and lessen the drama. |

| well average sclice of life show, starting to dislike makoto 4/5 |
| The pacing for the show seems to be a little off , but whether it is by design or just luck, it totally works. Anyway, i'm quite surprised by this anime. The characters are engaging and seem to be well rounded. For instance, when Saeki questions her own beliefs ("am I a hypocrite") or the scenes in the bathroom where normally you'd expect her to say something like, "STAWP FIGHTING GUISE!" (..Or something like that...) but it was Yumi who stepped in (and it was done so well, I love her character) or when Funabashi rebelled (albeit a bit cliche). I mean, you just don't get a lot of this in anime. I also enjoyed that the focus on the episode was more on the people around Saeki, though it still maintained a balance (the interactions between her and Gintaro). That is, it never felt like the MC was left out. Just a wonderful episode. |

| meh I really hate unreasonable school girl group bullying -_- |
| ha, tsundere fox. Totally love the interaction between him and Saeki, that was so cute. Didn't really mind with the drama, what matters the most is the message this episode tried to convey. The OP is one of the best of this season |
My DeviantArt and Pixiv and still waiting patiently for a 3rd season of Spice & Wolf :'| |
| And so the friendship expands. Love the characterisation in this series. |
| There is no such thing as shit taste. Only idiots who think everyone should have the same taste as they do. |
| It's nice to see they keep the animation quality high even around the character with these rehashed theme's Just noticed this only has 12 episodes :( |
| Aww i loved this! Made me happy and warm :D How exactly was this a bad episode >_> weirbos :P |
| I'm honestly a little disappointed with this show. I guess I was looking for something with a more Natsume-feel, except with girls. Instead it's like watching a mellow "cute girls doing cute things show" with a fox spirit. Not a bad premise, actually... I'm just not sure it's being executed to the fullest. |
| Ahaha, nice episode. :)) Lol, Gin blushed. |
| I'm really starting to love this, and honestly I don't find it too much drama. Rather, I'm expecting it will become even more dramatic. Personally I can't wait to see the MC guy. |
 |
| I find this show relaxing and heartwarming. The conflict didn't annoy me because its everyday highschool stuff... Not too deep but not insignificant either. When she told Gin she loved him... Awww. I look forward to more of this relaxing show. |
  |
| Haha my favorite scene was when Gin blushed <3 so cute. Again, loved this episode and I'm pretty sure it's my favorite show so far from the season. \o/ |
 |
Akanezora said: I'm really starting to love this. Same here, surprisingly enough this is so far the anime I enjoy the most from the season. |
 |
| I think my expectations were a bit high for this anime. But it is decent for what it is. I was just looking for something different. I do really love Gin. |
 |
| Bullying > ; 0 Funabashi is a perfect student but she wants to be who she want. Glad Saeki, Yumi, and Funabashi are friends. Heartwarming |
| "What if we take Kotoura-san and make her a shrine maiden?" "Sounds perfect." "Alright, let's do this." |
I have my own anime blog. It's called Anime Viking. Hope you'll you read it! |
| A little worse than first episode, but still very good.I just love the relationship between Makoto and Gintaro ^^ also, i didnt notice it while watching first episode, but OP is very good, especially the song. |

parfaited said: ^ kind of painful to watch this week..Less high school drama more atmospheric and magical youkai moments please. Please. |
 |
| Gintaro: not like I like you back or anything... baka xD such a cute ep. 4/5 |
Alone on a Friday night? Remember that DIO did nothing wrong! |
| Nice episode. I'm starting to like this show :) |
 |
| Interesting friendships we have here. That's kind of messed up, laughing at the driver just because he's trying to do his job. I mean, how is he going to tell her parents that their daughter said she won't be home, with no reason? Although I like the friendships between seemingly unlikely characters, I don't like Saeki because all she does is cry or complain. |
 |
| Now that we have all characters introduced (or do we not?), I hope we're not dealing with tea drinking and cakes eating. I really hope we are rather watching an interesting story developing before us. Because so far the show is plain boring, and I'll probably drop it next week if it doesn't get any plot development and keep its focus on cute girls doing cute things mixed with cheap school drama. Kamisama hajimemashita was way ahead in this regard. |
| It gives off a pleasant Natsume feeling. |
 |
| Ummm....not quite all the characters, and if you listened closely to what Gintarao said, I think it's obvious that at least one important character is still to come. |
Please don't feed the trolls! In my next life I want to collide at the corner with the cute transfer student carrying a piece of toast in her mouth...rodac |
| While watching this episode I kept thinking 'damn, this reminds me of something, but what?' Then it dawned on me that Gingitsune is like a Shinto version of those old stop-motion 'Davy and Goliath' (Mormon?) episodes, with the major difference that Gingitsune handles the moral dilemmas with more subtlety instead on hitting you over the head with the solution. This was an nice episode and I liked the final resolution of the conflict. There were a couple of unexpected developments. I was wondering if the writers might stretch the conflict out over a couple of eps. The best part of the show, along with the animation, is the friendship between Gintaro and Makoto. I like Gin's world-weary cynicism contrasted with Makoto's wide-eyed innocence. It's funny that Gin does not know how to react to being praised by Makoto. While watching I imagine Gin being played by Mifune Toshiro. On Funabashi's blushing in the shrine; she blushed when Makoto's dad remarked about compromise. The brief bullying scenes seem to have offended some viewers, but they served the purpose of advancing the plot, and I can say that nothing in those moments struck me as unbelievable. I've seen people bullied for even more ridiculous reasons than that. |
| So this anime is about some heart-warming slice of life with a bit of drama but a lot of heart. Nice to see how the 3 very different girls come together this way. |
| 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. |
| 3/5 One thing is the slow pace typical of the true slice of life, while it is a very different thing the boredom that comes from situations forcibly striking than in the episode in question do lose a bit of interest in the vision. Plot that follows a typical pattern, after knowing the protagonist previously, now we find ourselves in knowing the rest of the characters that will surround the story, so anything so epic. Narratively instead there is little grip, because the arguments used to introduce the characters are not very engaging, almost fake! D: Nice design, better animations. Even better however the scenarios and the OST! I hope he recovers soon. |

| And so they formed a very unique group of friends? Well a pretty decent episode so let's see what's next! |
 |
| Are we going to have more of these kind of drama? I hope not. |
| Honobono Log - best slice of life short -------------------------------------------- most kawaii loli overlord ---------------------------- Donquixote Doflamingo AMV - Control |
| Man, this show gives me such fuzzy feelings :') Nice of the three of them to become friends after all their misunderstandings and building each character up little by little, like Funabashi's family and their high expectations of her. Yumi is so freaking awesome and hilarious XD Seems like they all understand each other now :3 Haha tsundere Gintarou at the end was pretty funny :P I agree the character art is a little distracting, but everything else looks really nice at least XD Seems like next episode will focus a bit more on the heralds. The culture aspect is really interesting - like the part about not walking in the middle. Maybe we'll find out more about Gin and the shrine? :O |
| I called the first episode wholesome but this one went the extra mile in that regard. It felt so calming watching those three girls come closer as friends, a feeling the best of all the slice of life series seem to give off. I'll admit Makoto's declaration of love for Gintaro caught me off guard, but it was sweet. :) |
| I actually tend to rate slice-of-life average to low. So far I wouldn't quite put this in the same category because I think the characters are very interesting. I actually enjoy watching it instead of "getting through it" like a chore. |
 |
| Great Episode. Those girls who bullying Funabashi-san were so mean, that whole scenario was kinda disturbing to watch but in the end it was good to see Funabashi and Yumi getting along well. |
 |
| This anime is promising And has potential especially Gin I wanna see more |
How I learned to stop worrying and love the bomb --- Dr Strangelove  |
| Childish drama, digimon has more plot than this. Dropped at episode 2 after checking out a few other eps. |
| Stop the sequels high-ranking stupidity. Group franchises in Top Anime page. Because Gintama is just "one" anime and not 5. |
