Hmm so the ayakashi are mysterious beings that can be both helpful but also dangerous huh. The one's that Aoi fed though were cute though. To think that Aoi was treated that badly by her mother because she had that ability though. Wow to offer his granddaughter as collateral though. Working instead of marriage huh. Aoi sure is independent. Though it will place her more at risk though. Hmm seems that the inn's staff really are opposed to Aoi. Hmm given her skills operating a eatery might be a good path for her. An interesting first episode that did well to introduce the hidden realm, the inn and the characters.

The OP is really good!

It was a pretty good start. Seems like the typical sweet, light-hearted fun series. I think it could have been way better if the budget was higher, but I guess I'll get used to it.

I can only say i finished vol 4 but still didnt reveal who is the actual savior. There are clues but not that obvious.

I'm sure that if it really was Oni then the author will hold off revealing that until the very last moment sometime during the final arc. >_>;; That IS how these things usually work after all.

The nine tail demon look suspicious. I'm guessing it's him. Remind me of how Inu X Boku story goes. XD
Also the op really remind me of senbonzakura. That was a really good op so far for this season really liking it.

Some animations already look QUALITY. I can also already tell it's going to get worse.
The girl seems very boring too and she's dressed like she's 80. Some ppl mentioned Kamisama Kiss but the thing is that Tomoe was a jerk but interesting at the same time.

Cute op & ed, actual episode just mildly ok.
So mc spirited away to an isekai reverse harem who either becomes a MahoYome Chise or a hard working Chi at the bathhouse inn?
Might watch for Naruto Kyuubi & that cute mini kappa.

I had to pause halfway through to make sure that this was, in fact, the first episode. So much expository narration and tactless dialogue, describing things that we should already have been shown. That said, the concept is interesting enough, and I enjoy the design and animation of all the characters (particularly main girl). Think I saw some cool CGI cherry blossoms too. Affable (if a little milquetoast) cast of characters. Touch of dry humour was also appreciated. If the next episode goes back and fills in some of the gaps, I'll keep watching. However, this show, both for what it is and what it wants to be, could have started a lot better.

This episode was kinda funny but great.I simply loved the characters and I am very glad for Katsuyuki Konishi for being the co-protagonist as he didn't receive a really important character since America/Canada from Hetalia,Dreyfus from Nanatsu no Taizai and my beloved Reiji from Diabolik Lovers.

I am pretty sure I will love it to the end

I was getting a huge Kamisama Kiss type vibe from the first episode, except Nanami was a much more interesting MC than Aoi. While they both have the same character design on the surface, I felt like Nanami was a lot more reasonable and had more flavor than Aoi. All we know about Aoi so far is that she 1. Works hard, 2. Likes/is used to being alone, and 3. Likes cooking... okay? Maybe I'm asking a bit too much from a lighthearted show like this, but if the MC is interesting than I feel like everything else will fall into place as well. That being said I'm still intrigued by the setting so hopefully episode 2 brings more to the table.

am gonna second this
been reading the light novel up to the latest translated volume and i can tell you there's no otome /reverse harmen(?) involved tho there is little romance involved
and the oni... isnt edgy but he actually cares for Aoi and actually does that to scare her
am guessing this is gonna cover until vol 5 as the ending speaks of a ceremony
(sorry if this is considered a spoiler)


Can you please tell me where you're reading the translated versions of the light novels? I couldn't find them..

Minha primeira impressão foi de que parecia com kamisama hajimemashita e com Mahoutsukai no yome. Uma menina que pode ver coisas que outros humanos não podem, um cara( que parece do mal, mas que é gentil) que já chega dizendo que ela é noiva dele, e uma raposa branca. '-' Não gostei muito da animação. A Op foi boazinha. Bem razoável esse começo.

you dont have to speak so bad as if this is trash. This is only episode 1. I didnt watch Kamisama so no comments. Based from what i read the novel till end of vol 4, theres lot more to offer than what we see in the first episode. Theres just a handful of anime with awesome debut episode.

Very bland and badly executed first episode.
Most major flaws:
- Bland main character with tragic backstory (mother mistreated her and grandfather died)
-> Doesn't want to marry an ogre but rather pay off her grandfathers dept (~800.000$) by working in their realm: Problem: nobody wants her, the kitchen (her only plot-convinience skill) is for some unknown reason not open for women. Also: She is (or at least should be) in constant danger of being eaten. Also: Her dept would even at above median salary and ignoring expenses such as food and rent take over 15 years to pay off.
-> As shown be the problems seems to be very stupid
- Bland Villan/Main Guy 1
-> forces her to marry him for unknown reasons (exept for dept, which is a stupid reason as it shouldn't lead to marrying someone who is BAD/insufficient for you such as a normal human), which he does not dare explain to convince bland main girl to marry him when she refuses
-> Is somehow "kindhearted"
- Bland Main Guy 2/Fox Boy
-> Is very kind to main girl for no apperent reason exept for "oh we need some nice guy for main girl not to fail instantly"
-> Really likes main girl's food (because we need her to have a useful trait)
-> Has "dead" restaurant, because we need main girl to have a job using her only useful trait
- Storytelling issues
-> Worldbuilding is highly insufficient (we learn near nothing about it) and is done through narration for unknown reasons (very basic and bland world building technique)
-> Characters act for stupid/unknown reasons in stupid ways as to drive the plot further
-> Fails to make me care for any of the characters and what might happen

And this is only listing the main issues I have with this first episode.

Overall: 3/10 (Very Bad)


Dropping an anime only after 1 episode, pitiful.

Not an awful first episode, but I don't feel like it's going to get more entertaining.
Setup with a girl forced to get married to other dimension guy / magic user / monster is boring (for me).
Hope the world will be drawn nicely.
I don't have much expectations, especially if it's planned for 24 episodes.
How do they want to fill that all with interesting story?
We'll see.

I'd rather not waste my time watching two more episodes of something I can't enjoy just to fullfill the so called 3-episode-rule. With most anime you can tell whether or not something's worth watching based on its first episode. There are examples of Anime where this does not apply of course, but I'm speaking generally.

Let's all calm down a bit. This is just the first episode. I watched both KamiHaji and this. Think about it - were Nanami and Tomoe amazing characters by just episode 1 itself? No. They were just starting out. So give this one more time.

Also, to the people scared that this might be reverse harem - I don't know if it is because I haven't read the novel but most reverse harem anime in recent years have been otome anime. This isn't otome anime, this is adapted from a light novel aimed at females so there is a difference.

Swagernator said:

Yep ... this is otome as hard as it can be.


Reverse harem=/=otome. Otome anime are from otome games and those usually focus on more self-insert stuff while reverse harem can mean a manga or a light novel which usually have more proactive heroines or ones who start out weak but improve.

lol don't ever compare this to kamisama kiss not even 1/8 of this crappy anime match the greatness of kamisama kiss. I am expecting a lot of this anime but when I saw the episode 1 lol it just okay for me at least


You answered your own question. This is just episode 1. Would you like it if someone judged Kamisama Hajimemashita after just watching one episode? Think about that.

In the first episode as many wrote, aoi is forced to marry ogre god and a sweet sec0ond lead.. Even though this is a very common theme, something in it made it very interesting for me, I am unable to pin point what. Usually if it is a common theme, I just discard the anime/drama in the first episode itself. But I liked it and I am going to watch 2nd episode now.

I find it very interesting.

Was "okay." Probably put it on hold and binge several episodes in a month or so.

Main problem is: the main ogre looks like he could be Hoozuki's feeble nephew.
...but then again, I unironically like Warau Salesman.

She is hawt. And can cook good food, such a waifu material.
I liked her casual clothes more than the yukata, the dress and cardigan is my kind of thing lol. Gives a youthful but mature look to her.

Don't like the Oni though, he feels kind of like a douche. Too bad she'll fall for him though.
I think the one that gave her food when she was little is that Oni-god or whatever. That's how these stories tend to go.

Nothing too special but it was fun watch and since summer break is near, I have time to watch it. Also that is some insane debt, it will take a PhD graduate a decade's worth of salary to pay that off.
But she's in no position to really resist I guess... I mean I wonder if she accepted the marriage, would she be able to go to her world again. If so, the I would marry then just go on the run back in the human world.
If not, then I rather work the rest my life. At least I'd be free from marrying someone I don't want to. She clearly can still work and can have a life in this new world. Just divert some payment to the debt. She'll pay it off when she's is like mid-60s based on my calculations.
If she goes for a PhD while also working during college, she can probably pay it off in her mid-40s. But that is assuming she can work in our world. Also getting a PhD and finding a job is easier said than done.

But still that grandpa is a douche too for marrying someone off to pay debt. Though I wouldn't take some random scratch paper with some name written on it as legitimate 'contract.' Also certainly not a legally binding contract in both form and content according to Japan. Yea I know, none of this legal stuff matters when she's trapped but still, screw that backwaters barbaric law they follow.

It was nice. Looks like this will be a reverse harem (not fond of any harem show) and it seems to have some food show elements too since female MC is opening an eatery. We will see how this goes but the first episode was good enough that I will give this a try.

a shoujo mc???? that is not a cardboard???? and does not fall in love with the guy that forces her to do things??????? and she actually looks for ways to fix things instead of crying and doing nothing??????

i'm digging this

plot seems meh, watchable but probably won't be a fave

liked the ost, art style was a also cute

my biggest concern right now is that this might turn into a reverse harem or a love triangle... if that happens i might drop... otherwise fun show 3/5

Wow, wackiest episode of how i met your mother to date.
First impressions, that opening was pretty fucking nice my guy. After watching it a few more times it most definitely will grow on me. Really interesting setting and ideas of paranormal entities and worlds, as a sucker for supernatural, magic, romance animes. This hits the spot.
But, to be honest there was probably like 5 other ways this guy could of brought the girl over that didn't involve a trap in the form of a "thank you" card and probably 11 other ways to propose to her on the spot, none of those 11 being "yes your grandpa branded you as walking collateral to save his own back, now marry me or perish" don't know if this guy has ever heard of the phrase "smooth talk" but dear lord could he be anymore subtle?
I most definitely got some Mahoutsukai no Yome vibes from that situation though, loved that anime and its ending to bits. Might re-watch it after this

Is it just me, or is the animation and the cuts for scenes really awkward? I usually don't mind mediocre quality in terms of choreography, but this anime was particularly bad at that... unfortunate, considering that the premise seemed enjoyable.

The master innkeeper is a piece of shit. Why would he want a bride that would despise him anyway? And her life-span is that of a hamster compared to his.
I'm so glad Aoi chose to be strong and carve her own path. She's making the best of her unfortunate situation and has found a possible ally in Genji. Someone that doesn't want to make her a concubine. (yay!)
So many women around the world are forced into loveless marriages they don't want. It's better to risk death (getting eaten in this case) than be a caged bird.

I just wish she'd give him a strong argument on why he shouldn't marry her. Even 'kings' can be persuaded. Or at least she should have questioned the validity of the contract.
I know the master innkeeper is endgame, (not that he deserves it) but I wish she'd be able to choose someone else to love.
He wasn't even a gentleman, but instead begged for food to size her up and see if she's hot enough.

I can tell this will be reverse harem. It's from a LN, but it feels like an otome. Those usually suck, but we'll see how this goes.
