| This isn't all that easy to follow, and that's a good thing. It's nice to remain puzzled, especially when it's done well. I wasn't expecting a flashback type episode so soon. I'm sure (or hope) there is a reason for giving us a bit of Koto's childhood before moving on... I guess it's about the family connections. |
  |
| While I absolutely adore this series, I have no idea what's happening. Honestly, that might be why I like it so much. |
| Yesss. |

Give it a look if you are confused. Capital Confusion - A Guide to Kyousougiga http://otakurevolution.com/content/capital-confusion-a-guide-to-kyousougiga Very cool! And obviously a lot of work and effort went into that post. Thank you! Makes things much clearer for me. Kyousougiga continues to be a series with a strong and genuine emotional pull. Family themes always work so well for me. Not only that, it's been doing an incredible job of explaining things now. Personally, while I found the original ONA entertaining and fun, it was just too confusing for me. Now that we're getting some explanations, and the strong emotional pull, it's actually one of the best of the season. Too bad Crunchyroll never picked it up. |

Capital Confusion - A Guide to Kyousougiga http://otakurevolution.com/content/capital-confusion-a-guide-to-kyousougiga Thank you so much for this guide; it makes everything very easy to understand. Waiting eagerly for episode 3. |
And what if all love is an act of bravery? Could you look me in the eye and say that you are not afraid?  |
| wow i'm really enjoying this series so far, even though (or maybe because) it's so mysterious and a bit hard to follow. and the visuals are awesome! |
 |
| Well well... I guess animation was eventually saved, but not by Kill La Kill. This anime knows how to deal with esthetics and silence. The reality/dream sequence with Sensei's throne was so marvelous and poetic I shed a tear when the music started to play. I already loved the episode 0 and the OVAs. This is unique. |
 |
| Sad seeing Inari cry. It's probably why he sleeps with his mask on. I was thinking that old/first Myoue got younger and became Inari but they have different eyes. I also noticed that MC Koto and Inari have the same height in first episode so only MC Koto aged. o.O Anyway, this series is fun and I'm looking forward to see more of it <3 EDIT: rewatched the first episode and old Myoue had the same red eyes. My mistake :P |

| pew pew pew |
| Kinda late to say this but hearing Kugumiya Rei not being a tsundere is fantastic. |
| Mother of god, Li'l Koto is cute as hell, rivaling Kon from Tokyo Ravens. Kurini said: Lol, I know right. I don't think it fits him very well though. >>and the head Priest's seiyuu will always be Franky everytime I hear his voice XD |
| Ok its official, im downright in love with this show. |

Sad taste you have there kid you came up to me in the first place making you look more like a kid who got slapped without me even knowing it and start crying about it to me |
| I officially love this anime and I don't care if I have to re-watch all of it to understand. I have a basic idea of who is related to who and how so far. I also LOVE Rie's voice acting in this anime. It's so much better than all her other roles. |
 |
| The hidden gem of this season, loving this sweet little tale. |
| Powerful eyebrows. |
| Nice OP Nice past I really love when Koto said ".... Aru~" xD Myoue & Koto, are they siblings? Inari is their father... right? Paul said: Kinda late to say this but hearing Kugumiya Rei not being a tsundere is fantastic. Sasuga, Tsundere no Ojou xD Don't forget Kagura (a bit tsundere), Alphonse Elric, or Happy... Even Queen of Tsundere isn't always voicing a tsundere :) |
"Signature removed"   |
| A more softer episode but it still had some lovely development so let's see what's next! |
 |
| 4/5 Anime that I take for pure masochism, but also out of curiosity. I have not seen the OVA, so it's the first time I see him. Plot which has many unclear points, interspersed with time shifts, played very well in the narrative, which uses an OST cute. Designs that can like it or not, according to their own tastes, discrete animations. |
 |
| This is simply amazing. I'm in love with this show. |
 |
| Little Koto is cute! Also a good chunk of this episode was footage used in the previous ONA's. That kinda sucks but at least there was plant of new footage. |
| there still so much i dont understand. But im loving what I can slowly piece together. I hope the action picks up again. I love watching Koto bash shit with a hammer! Also, daughter Koto is probably one of my new favorite characters of all time. |
| Be sure to message me if you quoted me and want me to respond! Just give me a link to the forum, because usually I leave my comment, then leave the forum. |
| I can't resist the tiny Koto, just too awesome and adorable, and the bonding between Inari and her gives me the WAFs. My guess is that she's the reincarnation of Koto-sama aka the Black Rabbit. I'm still not sure if she's actually a stray or if Inari is really her dad, but the "check-up" was certainly worrying, and she has the inexplicable fighting talent. Inari could also be O.G. Myoue, he does have red eyes. |
| I think I got everything that happened so far. The only ones I'm not yet sure about are why Myoue became younger, and what is all this dimensional thingy Shrine. For the first one, I have a feeling that when Myoue and Rabbit Koto came back they were somehow perhaps reincarnated in the future of their old world (since maybe that much time passed in the other world where they didn't get older). Though then their kid (Koto) being born during this time seems a bit weirder. For the second one... I'm not sure. The Shrine probably became a dimensional police or an organization that's trying to keep the order in every dimension. I hope we get answers for these later. Still, I already find this show very enjoyable, thanks to Koto especially. |

| Inari's name is not coincidental: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inari_%C5%8Ckami Same for Katsura (Japanese tree) and Kichijōji (neighbourhood). Btw he was pointing at Koto's name at the floor x) It's written differently than Koto-rabbit's name though. Both Kotos have red eyes though. The circle thingy used by Koto-rabbit to open a path to a new world in ep. 1 is also seen in the OP (which rocks and has a DNA sequence that will be relevant, I'm sure), among Inari's accessories, and in Koto's hand at the end. Interesting scene at night. Different flowers. I wonder if they bear any significant meaning, or just used to tell the flashback with younger crybaby Koto from her older self. Anyway, it took her a long time to realize that Inari's her father! Also, did Koto-rabbit just disappear? Or fuse with Koto? Can Inari see her, or is it Koto's "feature"? The rabbit was there during the meeting! And the whole place looked like a cradle. I also wonder whether "Myoue"'s scooter is a callback to FLCL x) UPD: Kyousougiga staff mentioned their love for FLCL in one of the interviews, iirc, so now I'm totally sure! P.S. Notice how Koto called "Myoue" "oniisan" back in ep. 1, and referred to herself as "imouto" in the preview for this episode. Makes sense given that they're both "children" of Myoue, right? Or of his different versions...so the "secret" Koto was talking about = their relationship? |

Also, daughter Koto is probably one of my new favorite characters of all time. Such a bizarre mix. So glad this was suggested to me as really enjoyable so far. |
| Hmmm, this episode is a much more extended version of the first ONA episode. Also maybe I'm misremembering or maybe its a translation thing but in the scene Koto says she wants to meet her mom and ask her about her dad, I'm pretty sure she just says "I want to ask her about dad" not "I want to ask her about you". Maybe its a mistake on my part but I wouldn't be surprised if they changed up the story a little bit. This episode also has scenes from the original 2011 ONA, so its nice to get context for that scene. Also, I haven't watched Gintama other than clips on Youtube but goddamn I cannot separate Koto from Kagura. |
| So this implies she's the rabbit lady or at least related to her. |
| So the sensei is Inari i bet. Little Koto is the lost fox and my assumption, Inari named her Koto. Still vague but i get the point. Koto has come to another world that Yasu live, it gets interesting what's going on there. |
