Yakushimaru is indeed a natural human, but he's not Myoe and Koto's biological son. He was adapted into their family. One of the ONA reveals this. Yes of course. My bad. I will correct above. Thanks. Also, weirdly enough, he was adopted, but since First Myoue gave him his DNA, he is now sorta technically biologically related to them in a weird mystical way. I am going to try and put this together as a blog post this weekend and add pictures from the show and ONA just to make things clear. |

| It's incredible how such meh choppy ONAs with no plot spawned such a good series. Finally everything is starting to make sense. |
 |
| Past story now shifts from the three siblings (who now live in "Kyoto the mirror capital" -- always find the wordplay intriguing) to Koto the girl. Lovely story but it got me confused as to who her master is -- is he the father who took off with the black rabbit Koto in ep.1 ? How come he looks so much younger now? Anyway, it is interesting that right after Uchouten Kazoku, we have another anime that is located in Kyoto, with theme from Japanese legends and folklores, that is about family love of parents and siblings. And they both have really great visuals. |
| 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. |

And they both have really great visuals. Yeah I called this anime Chou Uchouten Kazoku lol. And yes, Inari, Koto's master, is most likely the First Myoue. Why does he seem younger? We don't know yet, but in a show like this anything can happen. It probably has to do with why he got separated from Usagi Koto during the years that passed between them leaving the Mirror Capital and him becoming Kitsune in Shrine. |

| Great episode. Very cute and the Koto and Inari scenes were just heartwarming. This Anime is unexpectedly turning into something very good and unique. I'm liking both the OP and ED more with each episode. and the OST was also nice and pleasing to listen to. Looking forward to the next episode. |
1idd0kun said: Takuan_Soho said: My memory is not what it was, but I thought I read somewhere that Inari is Kyoto's older brother. It must be something you read on a wiki article or something, because I can assure you that there's no official word stating such a thing. They're no siblings. That would make no sense. In the 5th ONA, you say Usagi Koto holding MC Koto when she was a baby, and she later refers to Inari as "dad" so they can't be siblings if they're both her parents (I mean, technically it's possibly, but they probably aren't). The confusion comes from the fact that Inari is younger than First Myoue was, but this is a show about gods and alternate dimensions. I'm sure there's an explanation for why that happened. |

pakoko said: So I rewatched it about 5 times and I see where you're coming from. If you look closely, Koto DID take off the mask, and immediately Inari grabs the mask himself (took me awhile). So I'd still say he was just taken aback when Koto suddenly takes off his mask and tries to see if Inari was crying. Eh, I suppose it's possible she was trying to see if he was crying but, I'd say it's more likely she was taking a good close examination of his face,taking in the similarities to her own. Hence, once she's satisfied with what she's found, she follows up by calling him Papa, much to Inari's shock lol. And that's my nitpicking for the day ;P |
| Few maxims have done as much harm as, "Children should be seen and not heard." |
| Loved the episode, this is an amazing series, the characters are awesome too :). Can't wait for the next episode! |
| both inari and koto are food detroyers, that was a cute way to highlight how they're similar :3 |

If we establish that Inari (Kitsune) is actually First Myoue, then it makes total sense. Isn't it pretty obvious that they're the same person, even though appearance wise, they aren't identical? Ishida Akira voices both the First Myoue and Inari, and if they aren't the same person, I doubt that they would cast him for the two characters AND let him use the same tone of voice. But I guess it could be possible that they aren't the same person,, and the staff did it to confuse us, though I doubt that's the case after all the other clues provided from the first two episodes. Anyways, great episode. I love seeing Koto and Inari's relationship, they're so cute ^^ |

Inari has no reason to be shocked when Koto calls him Papa, since Koto's been with Inari since she was born. Whether or not Koto knows Inari is her real father doesn't matter, but we can safely assume Koto definitely thinks of Inari as a father or at least a father figure. Koto was looking closely at Inari's eyes because she was looking to see if he was crying like the last time she remembered him crying. Thats why she follows up with the question "were you crying again, papa?" To which inari responds with "huh?" Because he didnt know back then that Koto was in the room when he was crying in his sleep, so he's confused as to why Koto would ask the question. Not to mention that the narration that comes afterwards is Koto saying "I have a secret" which is the secret of seeing Inari cry |
| Koto now proves herself to be a fantastic character. This series runs on emotions without losing itself. The scripting and directing are masterful. I love it. Just a bit concerned about its run time. Seems like its spending quite a few episodes on back stories. With only 10 episodes, I hope this series doesn't run into a corner. |

 |
| Pretty good episode. Emotional too |
 |
| About the the apparent age/height differences between Inari and the original Myoue, Comparing the futuristic setting we see Inari and Koto in now with the one old Myoe and his family lived in the episode before, it's my guess that old Myoue has long sine died and has been reborn as Inari. Kurama mentioned something like this (the Monk dying) in one of the ONA's and that's really all I'm working off of We still don't know how MCkoto came into the mix (or how she ended up with rabbitKoto and Inari on the moon). Koto's definitely related to them, but I wonder if RabbitKoto and Inari actually had a child together... I just feel like there might be another explication. |
| It's very relaxing watch this anime |

Xinception said: You sir, deserve a cookie for explaining things like that. I'm spotting some people writing that Usagi Koto, MC and Inari live on the moon together? Is it true? I'd love to jump into the ONA and the original series, but I'm heavily occupied right now. I'd really appreciate anyone who could help me! Haha no worries. It also helped me sort things out in my own brain. I actually worked this into a full blog post with lots of pictures here: http://otakurevolution.com/content/capital-confusion-a-guide-to-kyousougiga And regarding the moon - I don't know exactly what you mean because we are dealing with multiple points in time, but what the show calls "the present" - which is the moment when MC Koto arrived in Mirror Capital and met Second Myoue - Usagi Koto is in rabbit form somewhere in Mirror Capital and Inari is back in the universe of Shrine. At least that's what we think. In episode 00 we actually see Inari at one point but it isn't clear where or when that occurs in relation to the story. These aspects of it kinda remind me of Penguindrum, which is a mindfuck and takes a while to fully understand, but I'm saying that as a huge compliment. I love stories that make you think like this. |

One thing you can be relieved about, though, is that the series is actually 13 episodes, including episodes 0, 5.5 and 10.5. So maybe this anime will use its "special" episodes to fill up any essential side stories. |
| AOTY And thanks for the explanation, neon. That definitely helped clear up a few things. Even if some of the stuff ends up being wrong, it all seems reasonable at this point. |

LoneWolf said: @Josh makes me sad to call myself Canadian. |
| Another strong episode! I guess it wasn't as strong as the first, but still great. I'm guessing the Chief Priest is Myoue's brother? Also, why is Inari shorter than he used to be... o.o Confusing. |
Araby said: I can't stop listening to the OP. It's perfect. Same here. It really explodes once it hits the chorus. Best OP of the season imo. |
| @Ducat, Koybz, and neon: I'd definitely recommend checking out Tamurapan's latest album, wordwide. Yes, it's called wordwide, not worldwide, haha. I downloaded it a few hours ago and it's great. Very upbeat and fun, just like Koko. |

| This show is so heartwarming and smooth. I have this strange feeling, I don't know what is it. The storytelling is voluntarily chaotic, a courageous choice but definitely worth it. I will definitely keep watching it. HybridMBL said: That conversation between the 3 siblings we saw again makes a bunch more sense now. The 3 siblings(or at least Yase and Kurama) think Hammer Koto is their mother when in reality she's actually their younger sister. My question is did Inari and Waifu Koto successfully have a child when they left the Mirror Capital or is she another drawing like the first siblings.. Completely agreed. So, the whole show's purpose will be to anwer that question, and furthermore know if the siblings will be able to get back in the outer world. |

lolkano said: my question can i just watch this series without watching the ona's / ovas ( I think there is the 1 episode ona, then the 5 episodes, then 1 special???) You don't have to watch them. It seems that the anime is taking the content from the ONAs and expanding on them, so you should be good just watching this. |

On topic, the episode itself was really good. I think I see how the pieces are coming together now, but let me just get this straight: I have a feeling that I'm way off, but still, this show is fantastic so far. I think we may have a winner on our hands here. |

You don't have to watch them. It seems that the anime is taking the content from the ONAs and expanding on them, so you should be good just watching this. yup, the episodes so far did cover the onas not leaving anything behind so it isn't really needed to watch them yet for the same reason there are (almost) no spoilers in the onas(the 5 mini-episodes) now that 2 episodes have aired, so there should be no harm in watching them, the main serie is likely going to expand on them all anyway, sooner or later |
