Quite enjoyable. 7/10 for this ep.
The OST, OP, and ED were kinda nice too.
Isayama Hajime should be awarded The Manga with The Highest Inconsistencies of Characters' Appearances.
He keeps performing multiple plastic surgeries on those Shingeki No Kyojin characters in a SINGLE chapter.
Yes, I've read up to the latest chapter of Shingeki No Kyojin manga.
Forced myself to read through the kidsketching chapters after the anime's ended. At least from now on, I only have to go through the hell once a month.
Patiently awaiting SNK TV/movie/OVA anime-sequel.
The 2015 SNK live-action movie would probably suck.

I did think Gintaro acted like a bit of a cock to begin with but he grew on me. Laughed at John the dog, weird name to call a pet. So far so good. Hope to see more characters later on though.

It was a very heartwarming and enjoyable episode and if it stays like that, it will most likely become one of my favorites this season.

I already looked forward to Gintaro when I saw Miki Shinichiro voices him, but I also like him as an character. He's interesting and the relationship he shares with Makoto is adorable. The OST was fitting, very beautiful and the OP/ED were also great. I already love it. \o/

Pretty good episode. I wasn't much of a fan of all the little kids crying and making all kinds of noise. That didn't seem serene to me, just obnoxious. But aside from that I'm really excited about this show and the relationship between girl and fox. :)

Sweet and charming. Makoto's the most adorable MC of this season.

Listening to her call out for Gin with that panicked, sorrowful voice put me into cardiac arrest.

How come I got the feeling I was watching a final episode?
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.

Character development in the first episode is hard to find I believe :D Now that you mention, it did feel that way. Is this going to be episodic? Anyone read the manga?

Great Episode. Calm and nice atmosphere, good chemistry between Saeki and Gin. Decent Soundtrack and the Seiyuu seem to do a great job so far.

I guess, this is one of the series I'll definitely watch this season.

Yup you are not the only one that think that Makoto is similiar to Kotoura-san.
From beginning sad moment and all normal again.

The MC reminded me of someone, but I wasn't quite sure who that could be. And then the classmate called her a fraud and I realized - she looks kinda like Kotoura-san, and is even voiced by the same VA. I really liked the overall atmosphere of the show so far, and I'm also a big sucker for Shinto themes. Looks like this will be a great way to wrap up my Sunday nights this autumn.

I didn't really have a reason to choose to watch this in the first place, I wasn't really expecting much. But it was alright.

I thought the story was a little bland and I'm not a huge fan of Gintarou but altogether it was alright.

Well, decided to pick it up because it sorta reminded of Natsume Yuujinchou even though the premise is different. Gintaro's personality is pretty cool, but I don't seem to have a nice initial impression of the MC. I dunno..

It vaguely reminded me of Natsume.

Anyways, i thoroughly loved it. Nice to see how the story basically started from nowhere and ended supposedly without getting anywhere truly relevant, and even so it was really moving.

I'll definitely keep on watching it until the end.

Not a bad start to this series.
Well I feel like the only reason Makoto is sorry is so she can ask for more favors. Even her dad pretty much said it's okay for her to ask the fox a bunch of favors as a medium between the people and the god.

Dang, my first though was that Saeki looks like Kotoura (Kotoura-san) who is also voiced by Kanemoto Hisako.

Great start though, Hopefully this will be another great one from Diomedea.

4/5

Not great, but enjoyable. The plot tries to immediately leverage the feelings of the spectator and as I see it is successful.
Simplicity that expresses itself in all its components, starting with the character design, through the story and finally for storytelling.
Characters are not yet well inqudarati but for now he sees win on all Gintaro.
The slice of life regardless, like with any side dish, this time I did not let get away, then I always interested to know the folklore of various countries! * _ *
Character design that does not escape the rules of the simple is beautiful, so very minimalist and clean. Who is lover of T2 will not find bread for his teeth! ROTFL
For now 4/5 is more than enough, because I have to see how the story will evolve, which in this episode gave the setting, almost the appearance of an OVA!

animation seem all decent.

Animation was pretty meh to bad though.

It started out really good, really relaxing, then it comes the "drama", and take it all away from me. I disliked some of the middle parts but it was good overall. The singer for the OP song need to train more, I could hear her breathe through the song.

This Anime seems calm, relaxing, gentle, sweet, and heartwarming.
I am liking the atmosphere. I like the animation and character designs too.
I think Makoto is adorable, and her seiyuu sounds like Hanazawa Kana.
Her dad is such a nice parent. Gintaro is an interesting fox; I wonder what happened to his partner.
I thought Yumi will be a total bi... but it turns out that she is not that bad.
I still haven't watched Natsume and Inari yet, but yeah, you can get the same vibes because of the shrines and spirits.
Well, gotta hit the gym, will continue this later :3

looks like an average budget anime..

not expecting anything special tbh..

though I can't help myself imagining the fox ravaging saeki's wet little pussy over and over (no bestiality/pedo)

i'll try my best not to fall asleep watching this..

Pretty good first episode, really like the OP but ED is kind of meh for me. The art style looks kind of wonky at bits, but overall decently nice (especially the landscapes). Seems like it'll be a relaxing anime, maybe delving into why Gin's partner left and his past a bit? Well, seems like Makoto uses him to help with small things, they argue but he ends up coming back for a happy ending ... nothing too surprising, maybe a bit fast for the drama and stuff but still good. Looks like next episode will maybe concentrate a bit more on her relationship with her classmates and especially the girl she worked with to find the lost cat and helped with her boyfriend. Let's see where this goes :3

Love the atmosphere and all that but the MC is really annoying since she creates problems for herself and was driven purely on her emotions :/ Also she only admits her mistakes when it's convenient for herself.
