Pickin this up since it'll probably be cute/heartwarming down the line, but christ I just wish he would've recalled the tanuki legend from his childhood or something instead of that all-too convenient videogame npc priest. What are the odds lmao

Oh my goodness I have no idea why I didn't start this series sooner.
This show is absolutely adorable. I love the dynamic between Poko and Souta, it's so heartwarming and sweet to watch

Shinobu and Souta talking to each other reminds me of Gintoki and Kintoki shenanigans

I liked the reveal at the end. But I don't know if this will do anything unique.

Well this sure was a very lovely start, such a relaxing atmosphere and in general the characters seem to be quite solid! Really nice touch to be honest but there does seem to be quite a sad part in the whole atmosphere, bittersweet I'd say!

Nice start to this one. The little Tanuki guy is so cute!

Plus the OP and ED are incredible!

So i was already very reluctant to start this series since in my opinion it looked a little bit too much like Barakamon, don't get me wrong, Barakamon is one of my favorite series ever, but i'm not sure about watching something so similar, so i was quite scared.

As if the whole general setting wasn't similar enough, when Poko appeared hidden in Souta's house it was too much like Naru appearing in Handa's house...but well the whole tanuki theme is a step into difference so i'm digging it.

Overall, i like the vibe and the background music and the overall art in this series. Looking forward to see what's next.

Side note: during the entire episode i thought Poko was a girl u_u lol

This is so Barakamon. Even Souta looks so much like Handa. Haha. Then Poko looks like Naru who's a shapeshifting tanuki. Haha. So cute.

Good first episode. Apparently, Souta belongs to a family who makes famous udon, but he doesn't want to be an udon maker like his dad because he's being bullied. Typical reason. Will watch more of this anime.

Loved the OP. <3

Agree with those who mentioned the resemblances to both Barakamon and Amaama to Inazuma. Hopefully, this series will be more like the former instead of the latter.

Heartwarming start overall. Poko is absolutely adorable and the bond he and Souta will eventually form will surely be pretty moving.

That little tanuki is adorable!

It feels weird hearing Sugita Tomokazu in a "normal" role.
