 It was announced that an original TV anime titled Soushin Shoujo Matoi (Matoi the Sacred Slayer) will be scheduled to broadcast in Fall 2016. A pre-screening and stage event will be held at the Kyoto International Comics and Animation Fair 2016 on September 17. The two main cast members will host the net radio show on YouTube, which will begin in August.Synopsis There are two girls who are in training to become Miko at the Tema Shrine: Matoi Sumeragi and Yuma Kusanagi. Matoi Sumeragi lived with her grandparents on her father's side because her mother left her since she was young, until the second year of junior high school when she finally was able to live with her father since three months ago. Matoi yearns to live a simple life. Yuma Kusanagi is the daughter of a family who lives at the shrine and is expected to become the next Miko. She knows that her ancestor used Taimakou, a technique to exorcise evil spirits and invites Matoi to challenge the ritual called Kamikagari using the skill of Taimakou. One day after school on the way to the shrine, the two girls go to meet Yuma's parents, but discover that they have fallen in pain. Shingo, who is Matoi's father, and a police officer involved in investigating the case, discover a man giving off an unusual aura. To stop this man, Yuma calls out Kamikagari, but something happens to Matoi. The girl who yearns for a simple life has a power to exorcise evil spirits? In order to get her simple life back, she goes on a task to exorcise evil spirits.

| Looks like my cup of tea. To the list it goes! |
 |
| >White Fox Original anime >Shrine maiden exorcists mahou shoujo Ok...you convinced me. |
 |
| Animation looks nice, can't really say much about anything else. |
| w h i t e f o x h i t e f o x |
| I lost my hope for White Fox, Akame ga Kill and Re Zero is the reason why i'll avoid his anime. |
| Do you play Azure Lane? Then please join my fanclub https://myanimelist.net/clubs.php?cid=74907 |
| WHITE FOX are one of my favourite studios, so looking forward to this. Interested to see how their first original anime will turn out. The staff is also excellent besides the director. Expecting some great looking action. Hope this turns out good. |
| I wonder if its gonna be a good old cute magical girl anime to calm down after re:zero or going in for another dark one and trying to pull out a madoka magica. I mean, with White Fox its possible. |
STOP SLEEPING ON ODD TAXI |
| It's okay and from what I understand, it will be White Fox's first original TV series. That should be quite something to get excited about. |
 |
| Last original he directed was Sora no Method so im kinda skeptical. However he has directed many great things in the past. White Fox surely is sticking with this fantasy setting huh? Either way Im optimistically excited. |
| It doesn't sound that interesting, but I'm sure White Fox has something up their sleeve. Let's see where this goes. |
✧ |
| I'll watch this, it looks cute and the premise is interesting. |
 |
| was never really a big fan of magical girls but this one might be worth a try *-* |
 |
| The PV looks good and all but WHEN ARE THEY GONNA ANNOUNCE SOMETHING MORE EXCITING THAN THIS? Something awesome maybe or atleast based of a high rated manga? |
| Looks pretty good. PTW. |
| Looks like generic "cute" garbage. Magical girls suck |
| No thanks, pass... |
 |
| >Music: Tatsuya Katou Yes. Okay, will give a shot. |
| This looks interesting I think I will give this one a try :) |

 |
| Damn, so no Steins;Gate 0 in the fall... |
| Sup... |
| Magical girl exorcists? Alright, I think I can dig it. |
  |
| I'll watch I guess |
| "This little girl, who's not even half my size... taught me that tears can flow even from these silver eyes." - Teresa |
| The art looks kinda cute, and the premise isn't half-bad, so I'll check this out. |
| I mean I like White Fox and the recent stuff they've made so I'll definitely give this a watch. All in all though, I really hope once they wrap up production with this show that they'll go into making Steins;Gate 0. |
 |
| Can't wait for this <3 Looking forward to some despair <3 |
 |
| I don't know why but I can already see people pitting this against Flip Flappers, that's also going to air on fall. Definitely going to watch this though. |
 |
| For once I'd like to see a new original anime that isn't some magical fantasy bullshit, or something that's trying to bandwagon on the latest light novel adaptation trend. But since this is by White Fox, I will at least give the first episode a shot. |
jc9622 said: similar to one of White Fox's cute slice of life series series that's full of lolis. Forgot the title. I think that's Gochuumon wa Usagi desu ka |
| seems interesting, okay I'll watch this |
