The OST is indeed pretty good. I think I was turned off on the art/ears moreso first episode than now. It's less of a problem to me. Introducing more of the characters made the show better in my eyes. Seeing family problems and like family hierarchies make it seem like it's going to be more than just random antics of tanukis and tengu.

I am sure refreshing my knowledge of Kyoto geography with this anime. Interesting to find that the beverage factory is actually a historical water pump station in the east side of Kamogawa river.
So MAL finally starts locking news threads that are only a few weeks old?

I wonder where was the announcement of this change? Or we are seeing yet another case of changes made that impacted users but not communicated to them?

I wonder how long people would put up with this.

As much as I have a bunch of information to share about anime announced recently I cannot share it in news board, and the anime series is too disorganized and chaotic to share information except with people already interested in the particular series.

I made a quip last week that in that there was a "Benten", maybe the other luck gods, including Ebisu, would show up. Well, I was right, at least in the name of the brewery.

The difficulties of being a tanuki! Nice episode. Yasabura definitely seems the most level-headed in the family. Also, I'm really loving the music in this too. The atmosphere is great and it just works so well with the art style. ^^ Hope we'll get to see more flashbacks of their father later on.

A little bullshit.
There is an actual plot, and you can predict it so far. Maybe, it's the case to rewatch it?

Anyway, one of the best this season. If not the best, but let's wait some more episodes for that.

I love these kinds of anime where I can't in a short phrase (or even one word in some cases) describe the main characters. I was invested in the story from the first episode, which rarely happens for me these days. These characters are just so well written and the creators have left the necessary space for them to breathe without adding unnecessary plot devices. I sometimes have trouble with slow starting series but with this one the episode feels like it lasts a minute and I end up wishing for next week to come soon :)

It's weird to see some comments here that would be more fitting to an action series. I don't understand why people who dislike slice of life even come to comment that the series doesn't appeal to them. I also don't get the MC hate, I love the guy, he's really kind-hearted in a non-professing way, which is awesome because I hate all sorts of vocal assurances of affection.

The first two episodes introduced a nice variety of characters, and the episodes themselves really give each character enough time to flesh themselves out, and that's always a good thing. It's great that the MC is the way that he is, a living member of one society (though slightly detachedly) with a fascination of the other two, allowing us to see the world in his unbaised way.

I'm not too worried about the story at the moment because we're only at the second episode, I'd bet that the story will come along maybe second half next episode. For now, it's highly imperative that the show fleshes out its environment, its atmosphere, and its character.

The drawing is definitely a little simple (those ears), but I didn't notice this extreme simplicity until I started reading this thread, and someone pointed it out. I'd like to think that the simplicity of the characters allows us to more focus on what they're saying. But meh, that's just me.

I have very good feels for this series.

I like this OST.

More interesting characters appeared like Mother Shimogamo and Yajirou Shimogamo.
And the cat siblings.

I'm still a bit interested in this.

Why get so personal? This whole "stop liking/disliking things I like/dislike" stuff belongs in the pre-school playground. I really love the art and story of this show but some people just have different tastes. There is no need to go all ad hominem on them.

> Why get so personal?

I guess it depends on the attitude shown by the poster. Flawfinder is, well, obvious came here to find flaw and bachou's tone is almost like trolling with words like "crap" without any elaboration. It is hard to ask for high quality response for low quality posts - the posters tend to get what their posts deserve.

I guess. To me it just makes the guy on the offensive look like an immature, insecure idiot. 90% of the posts here are pointless, why pick out those just because they have a different opinion.

So let me just get this clear, because they think it's a bad show they deserve to be ridiculed and have "mom jokes" thrown at them? I don't think so.

I think it is not just because they have a different opinion, but as I said it is the attitude and maturity they showed.

Well, I would say trolls or troll-like posters (again not just because they think it is a bad show but more importantly the attitude and arguments they present) cannot expect to be treated with kid gloves.

You don't understand right? I don't care if someone says "I don't like this", after all opinions may differ. But if I read a exclamation like "THERE IS NO PLOT", I can obviously argue with that, because that's not an opinion, it's a statement. Furthermore, it's a wrong statement.

But if you meant my reply to Bachou, isn't that obvious ..? He trolls and I'm feeding him because it's fun.

Well, I for one I like it when they dropped the anime they don't like, one less annoying post to read; after all why watching something when you are not being entertained?

I like the second episode better than the first, we get to learn more and more about the Tanuki community.

I really enjoy the animation in this one, it's been a long time since I've seen so much consistency and so little bland shortcuts in a tv series. The city in the rainy weather was perfectly done.

I wonder how the father ended up as a stew. I think this will be at least one of the main points of the story, I also get the feeling that the whole Shimogamo family is at the bottom of the totem poll, so to speak.

another side of the anime is introduced. very nice.
tanuki cuddles are cute.
and Hiroyuki Yoshino sounds hot as a frog. no offense but it does sound really nice

i like how the simple design of the characters fits this; it doesn't have to be flashy nor perfect but the way the characters are drawn it's still very enjoyable to the eyes

however nice the godly bgm at the end of both episodes is, if they're gonna show it again in 3rd ep i'll probably table flip. i reckon they won't.

It's pretty cool and fun to watch.
The ending had a nice OST as well.
