Omfg, Ohzora Naomi for Inari?!? Can't wait to see more of her work. This character just became more bearable.

And Uka-sama animated~ *fanboy yell*

I dunno I enjoy the shrine setting but this was just too silly, and it's rare for a main character to annoy me like Inari did. The only thing keeping my interest is the brother staring up at Uka like she's dangerous, wonder what'll develop there.

You pretty much sum it up.
Touka x Uka <----The reason why I'm watching.

Yep.

I thought it was going to be boring as Gingitsune.

Romance and comedy, a good combination. The truth, the episode was entertaining, Ume-sama playing KS-2 and Koujo showing everything.

Gah Inari and Tanbabashi's cute and all but Touka and Uka... I wonder if they're going to get there? :/ Hopefully they will! They are practically the reason I love the manga so much.

Something similar to Kamichu! but no one knows of her power (it seems).

that was cute, silly and it might end as one of better things this season.

Maybe except Inari but it's not that bad either.
I just hope she is done with all that drama and fun can begin.

Oh wow, I was only hoping for "fairly good" out of this shoujo adaptation (edit: apparently, it's a seinen adaptation, but I did get shoujo vibes here), but I really loved this episode.

Inari is definitely moe. This is undeniable fact; Maru says so herself.

One thing I rather liked is how Tanbabashi, after having his pants pulled down (gender-flipped trope ahoy!), actually got embarrassed and avoided Inari afterwards. Too often the male love interest in shoujo is either such a cool and awesome boy that he wouldn't be fazed by such a thing, or otherwise a total tsundere who goes off on the female lead, so to see a male love interest actually be like this is kind of refreshing.

And then there's Inari's interactions with the goddess Uka-no-Mitani. I got some mild Gingitsune vibes from them, and considering that Gingitsune was one of my absolute favorite anime of 2013, that is definitely not a bad thing at all. The relationship between those two could very well be what I really end up loving about this show, if it develops it well. (And it was hilarious to see Uka using her familiars to play otome games...)

All in all, a lovely episode. This show could definitely end up being another one of my favorites of this season. Why is it only 10 episodes long? ;_;

I'm pretty sure Inari just took that other girl's appearance, doppelganger style. Meaning nothing happened to the latter.

I've been waiting for this for a while, and it was worth it. Only thing that could make it better would be if her transforming powers were more like John Carpenter's The Thing. But still, very enjoyable and can't wait for episode 2.

Inari had learned a transformation spell.

I hope Tanbabashi will forgive Inari for what she did to himand accepted her apology someday.

This show is definitely well made, between the atmosphere, backgrounds, and just the writing in general it really is great, especially that music. There is something that bothers me though. It just seems out of character and petty for someone that is given a wish by a god, to ask to forcibly take the love of someone that you know likes someone else. It might have worked better if they had shown that the red-headed girl was not a good person, or using him, but her wish just seems cruel. Well, hopefully they will take this in some direction that at least makes it seem more fair to both characters.

I really wanted to enjoy this show. Inari is cute as hell, but damn she's a whiny crybaby. I'll stick with it (probably for the duration, unless it just keeps getting worse), and hopefully it'll improve.

I like it. Good first episode.

Uka-sama can't grant another wish for her but gives her a part of her power instead. I love how this god works :D

Going to check the manga later.

The Shrine is absolutely beautiful as a setting, love it.
Seems a bit awkward, I'd like to know why no one was worried that Sumizome never showed up at home - since Inari replaced her and has only changed her appearance back.

Hmmm, so my biggest question is...

If Inari became Sumizome, and now she's technically Inari in Sumizome's body with the ability to transform... what happened to the original Sumizome? O_o Though it would be appear in the last scene she's sitting at the desk all the way in the back left of the room... at least her body is. I'm so confused.

The original Sumizome is still herself. A part of the show will be Inari trying not to be in the same location as the original person she transforms into.

Amazing and strong first episode. I was really looking forward to this, I was planning to read the manga when I saw the news for the anime so I waited and I'm really glad I did. Nice visuals, setting and character design (Keiko is fucking hot)

I LOVE LOVE LOVE the fact that used voice actors with a dialect. They are so enjoyable to listen to. 10/5

Lovely visuals, voices and characters
Inari might be your stereotype character, but she's sweet and thoughtful of others
It seems Inari's brother could see the god or he could saw it when he was little?
Strongest start this season
Also dat early opening scenes

WTF, there's a big hole in this episode that looks like anyone here noticed. Inari mind was replaced with Akemi's mind, right? So, at the end Inari got the power to change into any human form she wants, but we have to remember that Inari is still in Akemi's body. Then, the question is, what the hell happened with the old Inari's body and what will happen with Akemi's familiy? Will it just continue like nothing happened?

There is no plot hole. Inari is still in her own body, it's just that her body simply looks like someone else. So while Inari is transformed, the person she's transformed into is still running around doing their own thing. There is no body/mind swapping involved.

I think Inari physically wish to change her own self into looking like Akemi so her body was never really gone as far as i can tell since you can clearly see Akemi and Inari both in class at the end,haven't read the manga so just going off what i saw

What an idoit! A god grants you one wish and your wish is to become someone else? Well, I guess that's the mind of a middle-schooler...and not so bright mind of a middle-schooler.

An OK first ep, I guess. I'm curious about Inari's brother. He can see the deity, and was looking at it like he hated it. Will keep watching to find out what's behind that.

Kinda wished CR picked this up. More enjoyable watching this kind of show on my bed then on my computer. More relaxing.

All that kansai accent.

Uka playing... otoges? Lol.

Quite curious as too how often she'll be using her ability to transform in the future. Hope it's not something she doesn't ever use again.

A nice atmosphere we have here. It looks like it could go in any number of directions here, but I'd be quite happy for the current tone to be kept.

It was also explicitly noted as being injured.


And btw: Am I the only one who had a sudden urge to say "I want a girl . . . like you . . . to be my girlfriend" when Inari was asked her wish?

Possibly the best first episode of the season. The music is fantastic, the art amazingly beautiful, the character designs wonderfully rich, and the story sweet and funny. (I love that the characters aren't all drop-dead gorgeous, but still attractive in their own way. Inari is pleasantly plain.)

I have been reading the manga, so I had been looking forward to this show very much.

One question: Why only 10 episodes? WTF?
