That castle the male character tried to build it got funnier every time it collapsed and how he had to rebuild it.
Seems there is something about the history between the characters and i am interested in finding out it might be related to that animal that was hiding behind the tree, at least the fox like shadow.

And Benio's fetish and how the Mashiro reacts is just great.

The character interactions are definitely the selling point of this show for me. Even though the male lead seems dull at the present time I feel that may very well change halfway through the series.

Mashiro is awesome, poor thing now is traumatized (ok she was before by Benio but now there is new source of fear).

Actually I like that whole "what did happen in the past" thing, it's nothing much but makes it more enjoyable. Just don't put any drama there :P

Episode 2 mashiro's voice annoying rating is 6/10. Still getting used to it and comedy was alright. OP I like and ED will to as soon as I warm up to Mashiro.

Because the second episode explains some of the chaos which makes it dull?

love this show but i can't take 80% Mashiro with that voice and only 10% benio/Kobeni i mean she has those Great Child Bearing hips!

OP is still pretty good ED is almost as catchy as WitchCrafts

Mashiro has a huge and weird imagination lol. I can't get enough of her.. hnnng.. though her voice is still something I should get used to.
Hakuya is still boring to me so far. Give him some development please!..

A wild guess about Kobeni's past: She was attacked by a wolf in the mountains and Hakuya somehow saved her.

OP is so good. I can't wait to have the album. XD

Mikakunin de Shinkoukei has foreshadowing written all over it. Some shit is gonna go down, I just know it.

The title translated as "Engaged to the Unidentified" and the whole second episode focused around Mashiro being scared of UFO's and mysterious creatures. Kobeni has vague memories of silhouettes of fox-looking things living near a temple. Not only that, Kobeni notices that nobody finds Mashiro's presence odd and Benio states that the family has been around for a long, long time.

There is WAY more to this story than meets the eye.

EDIT:
Speculation levels to the max- Haguya is a were-fox that's why he's so tired during the day
Oh shit... I didn't notice that.

The tsukkomis towards Benio are legit xD
Not that funny tho. Found first episode better. The scenes in school are just awesome. The ending is better than the opening ;P

TBH, I think interpreting the title that way is a little far-fetched, but the amnesia aspect will still keep this alive I guess.

Yep, just came here to say the same thing. If not exactly a were-fox, perhaps something to do with "fox spirit possession", an interesting myth in Japan. In one rural region there are families who are "fox spirit possessed", they tend to be very wealthy, though they are shunned by most of their neighbors, something that seems to fit this story very well. There was one such family near my in-laws house, and even today they are somewhat ostracized because they are thought to have a family fox.

Or maybe not, but I have to say that Mashiro's hair reminds me of a wolf's tail.
Her hair even "wags" like a tail at one point...

I'm kind of hoping someone makes a .gif out of the "eyes all over the place" part. That made me laugh!

Lol at Mashiro reacted to Alien on TV.

Too bad the castle that Mitsumine built keep falling.

The rumor about Mitsumine and Yonomori family lived under one roof finally started to spread over the school.

This makes sense. When Mashiro's hair wagged, the first thing I thought of was a fox. Now I know why.

Ok I just hope this doesn't turn out with supernatural stuff, just as the Title suggests.

Also, too much comedy in the first episodes, I mean it's good, but I would have liked a strong-plot start about Hakuya and Kobeni, maybe some drama.

Hakuya is doing very little but at least we start to get that he's actually thinking within his passive figure.

You guys lol. But I must admit it, usually I hate this kind of loli. I really do.
But in this case it's not happening, actually I feel like praising the VA is the best thing I could do.

I suspected something supernatural in the works too.

If so, the title makes a bit more sense. And why no one else seems bothered that Mashiro is in highschool...

I always find his voice doesn't seem just of another spacing out character. Didn't start watching most of the anime this season. But this anime is adorable and entertaining and I have a feeling that some supernatural works are going on behind the scenes. UMA and UFO were just a couple of hints imo before they reveal something. :)

Mashiro makes this show worthwhile.
Characters like Benio makes me want to instantaneously drop a series.
Hakuya practically didn't do anything this episode except mentioning the 'tragic' incident between him and Kobeni. Hopefully he does something more interesting or major next episode.

Mashiro still as cute as usual. Seriously, how can she be in high school?

Hakuya wants to keep the accident a secret from Kobeni, though I think she'll find out eventually. Wonder what kind of injuries did he get.
