----------------------------------------
I'm not used to Inari's voice yet tbh. Pretty obvious she has a thing for Tanbabashi.

Idk why but this reminds me a little of Kamisama Kiss. Ukanomitama-no-kami's design is alright I guess. I like her mature voice though. I remember some of the scenes from the manga especially with Akemi's form. Oh damn, she looks a bit different.

Well she learned that transformation spell in no time.

One sided love, not only she accidentally did something wrong, she is lost to the girl with golden hair, who he loves. Her friend is always with her. She wished to be that girl, and met that guy who feels guilty on her disappearance. Just because she wants to go back, the god gave her magic to freely change back and the spell she came up is "Inari, Konkon", and with the fox she saved in the morning. It seems like Inari's brother can see God?

OP is nice and ED is pretty.

I really love the upbeat theme song within the show. It's better than the OP or the ED. It's a favourite for me no matter how this show goes from now on.

You're not alone. I made an initial recommendation linking both since both had fox spirits and romance. Your words made me think again and I realised that both had supernatural beings giving a normal girl powers of a God. Just changed my recommendation description after realising that.

The initial part of the story is a little gimmicky but if the anime gets past the initial focus of the appearance change(which I doubt since it's only 10 episodes long >.<) it becomes so much more

Also Uka is my waifu of the season

Nice episode. Animation is top notch, the background is beautiful. I like the comedy.

Lol at Uka-sama caught playing video games. Possibly a BL game.

Plus, May'n singing the OP and Maaya for the ED is a plus.

I have a really good first impression for this series. But's saddening its only
has 10 episodes. 12-13 episodes is already short, but 10 is a bit too much.

Why oh why...

I'll be resuming reading the manga again. I'm stuck at chapter 19.

Pretty good start up episode, probably having that relaxing feel to it and the romantic comedy segments in here. Now she has the power to transform, looking forward to what the next episode look like.

Pretty hilarious that the goddess of the shrine enjoys playing otome games. Really digging the OST.

As expected of middle school kids; the trials and tribulations they go through...are rather petty; with their priorities, goals, and consequences not very well thought out (as evidenced by Inari's wish).

Damn, if I had one wish...I don't think I'd blow it by becoming someone else entirely. Speaking of which, while Inari was Sumizome, was the real Sumizome still at home which I assume she was, or did Inari literally replace her existence in that moment of time?

Lol I know right. Such a childish wish, at least she learned her lesson, though she made trouble for Uka-sama.

Thoughts:
2:26 great music

3:58 seeing Inari so full of energy w/ high pitch voice pisses me off so much

4:02 Maru-chan… that name means 'circle' in japanese; how appropriately named she is. the way maru is hugging inari... it's like she's gonna eat inari. lol

4:36 i thought tanbabashi looked just like inari's big brother... & seeing inari so infatuated like that was confusing...incest? :o

6:23 tanbabashi ran away cuz of his pants dropping? What a pussy, jesus christ. if he was wearing pink underwear, i would accept him running away like that.

6:44 Inari crying over the drop pants? Is this suppose to be real drama? LOL. this must be a joke

8:54 WOOT Inari gets screwed over!!!

12:23 inari u idiot, u should have asked for more wishes instead of being Sumizome

17:16 uka playing dating sim = epic

--------------
Overall:
1. Inari = loud middle-school cry baby with excess energy comes across as annoying

2. Maru = can't take fat kids seriously & she even acts like a fat kid

3. Sumizome = wished she was the main character. She seems down-to-earth & level headed

4. Uka = boss

5. OP/ED songs = alright

6. Voice acting, music & graphics are pretty good. CHARACTERS SUCK (except for uka). Really can't put up with middle schoolers cuz they lack common sense & are immature. The story looks even boring with Inari being the lead.

7. Episode 1 wasn't breath taking whatsoever. Definitely gonna drop this series after ep2. i'll pick this series back up if it ever gets an english dub in 1-3 years time.

Ep1: 2/10

I dunno I enjoy the shrine setting but this was just too silly, and it's rare for a main character to annoy me like Inari did. The only thing keeping my interest is the brother staring up at Uka like she's dangerous, wonder what'll develop there.

Right, because dogs can't swim. Especially in shallow, slowly flowing creeks...

Overall it can go either way. We will see after one or two more episodes.

I thought it was going to be boring as Gingitsune.

Romance and comedy, a good combination. The truth, the episode was entertaining, Ume-sama playing KS-2 and Koujo showing everything.

Something similar to Kamichu! but no one knows of her power (it seems).

that was cute, silly and it might end as one of better things this season.

Maybe except Inari but it's not that bad either.
I just hope she is done with all that drama and fun can begin.

Oh wow, I was only hoping for "fairly good" out of this shoujo adaptation (edit: apparently, it's a seinen adaptation, but I did get shoujo vibes here), but I really loved this episode.

Inari is definitely moe. This is undeniable fact; Maru says so herself.

One thing I rather liked is how Tanbabashi, after having his pants pulled down (gender-flipped trope ahoy!), actually got embarrassed and avoided Inari afterwards. Too often the male love interest in shoujo is either such a cool and awesome boy that he wouldn't be fazed by such a thing, or otherwise a total tsundere who goes off on the female lead, so to see a male love interest actually be like this is kind of refreshing.

And then there's Inari's interactions with the goddess Uka-no-Mitani. I got some mild Gingitsune vibes from them, and considering that Gingitsune was one of my absolute favorite anime of 2013, that is definitely not a bad thing at all. The relationship between those two could very well be what I really end up loving about this show, if it develops it well. (And it was hilarious to see Uka using her familiars to play otome games...)

All in all, a lovely episode. This show could definitely end up being another one of my favorites of this season. Why is it only 10 episodes long? ;_;

I'm pretty sure Inari just took that other girl's appearance, doppelganger style. Meaning nothing happened to the latter.

I've been waiting for this for a while, and it was worth it. Only thing that could make it better would be if her transforming powers were more like John Carpenter's The Thing. But still, very enjoyable and can't wait for episode 2.

This show is definitely well made, between the atmosphere, backgrounds, and just the writing in general it really is great, especially that music. There is something that bothers me though. It just seems out of character and petty for someone that is given a wish by a god, to ask to forcibly take the love of someone that you know likes someone else. It might have worked better if they had shown that the red-headed girl was not a good person, or using him, but her wish just seems cruel. Well, hopefully they will take this in some direction that at least makes it seem more fair to both characters.
