"Morning Mist Shrine" is one of those "rare gems."
It's "romantic comedy" without stooping to the level of "cruelty towards shounen" and "garbage bin / toilet humor."
It's "magical girl themed" that keeps its feet on the ground. No magical transformations or running away from the reality that guys exist.
It's "posse themed" with an added touch of friendship, love, and the "even the bad guys are humane" sub-theme.
And it can tell within 12 minutes for 26 episodes the type of story a lot of "for the otaku" animu can't tell within half an hour for 300 episodes. Unfortunately.
I recommend this title to anybody who wants to watch anime for anime's coolness and not for how harsh it is against "casual / normal people."
