Geez, some girls can be so mean in this show.

Not bad this week. I still sense the drama in this. Oh and artwork is gorgeous. Ha, Ging blushing was cute.

Eh too much drama into this, I expect a bit of humor but I guess I'll get used to it as the series progress. New character was pretty cool and already friends with Saeki. Oh well decent episode.

I can really relate to that girl with the glasses, when people make all these judgments and expectations of you, it's hard to just be yourself and do what you want. This was a nice episode, and I'm glad that she's now friends with Saeki and Ikegami, and from what Gin said, it looks like they're going to be good friends for a while.

Even though Yumi and Funabashi had their differences its nice to see that they resolved their issues and got to know each other a little more.Also held my breath a little with those girls surrounding Funa and Saeki in the restroom until Yumi came to the rescue.

Conflict part was meh but the part after it was beautiful

Really loved the part at the shrine.
Gin's reactions to being told "I can see u, what more could I ask for" & "I love you"
was so lol. Really cute.

Glad he said they'll be friends for a long time.

Lol'd at how he said he can't predict what her dad is thinking XD

Really loving Gin's character. He's awesome. And nxt ep seems to have a bit about his past with his partner.

Agreed, I didn't particularly like the drama too much because I've seen it before in manga, but at least I like what they did differently, which is making it so that Funabashi and Yumi come to an understanding (at least a little).

Hopefully with the three friends established the school drama will be taken down quite a few notches. It's not terrible because it served its purpose in characterizing the girls, but I feel like the show has much deeper areas to explore. Tsundere fox can only make up for so much.

That is my hope. I would prefer that they keep the focus on Shinto because it would mean that this isn't going to settle into a standard SOL coming of age romance.

Not that I can't enjoy SOL COA ROM by itself, but this particular show hasn't established itself as a show that can keep interest for a cour, let alone nearly two, without something else added to the mix. Right now this something is Shinto, so I am hoping that they continue with it getting a bit deeper each episode.

Nice episode. Glad their conflict was reconciled at the end. That shrine was surely something.

A bit felt Kotourasan vibe. Wonder if that fox deity will play a primary role sometime. He seems like a side character so far.

Can't say for sure, but based on the reputation that she had at school and her family's social position, my guess is that her family is very elitist, and she has been taught to think of herself as superior. But she has never personally thought this way, and as the "bad girl" said, she was jealous of people who had friends whom they treated equally. So her hearing that even people and gods need to compromise confirmed her belief that the "elite" and "normal people" can compromise as well, and learning this has embolden her that the way she believed was true is actually the proper way.

My guess is that we will see a lot more of this when her father returns and demands that she not associate with such "low class" people.

Found out today that this show has 9 manga tankouban already published, so the story is there for at least the 21 episodes planned. I hope they take a "Shinto" focus, but learning this makes me doubt that this is going to happen, still that it has this many books published gives me hope that even if this is a straight SOL story there will be something interesting to it.

That was a decent episode. I love slice of life animes and this rly hits my taste buds. It has this Natsume Yuujinchou vibes , when every episodes convey different conflicts. I like it , my SOL of 2013 ?

Well sometimes you just have to adapt to certain environments so that people don't "run into eachother"

Atleast that's how I interpreted it.

This show manages to piss me off each episode so far. I mean, wtf was that bullying scene...but I really loved the resolution for this episode. So it makes up for it. Yumi and Hiwako as friends is really nice. :)
Plus I love how Yumi dealt with the situation in the washroom.

I doubt Hiwako will really just get away with disobeying her parents like that...

But I agree that this show needs to spice up a bit, and lessen the drama.

The pacing for the show seems to be a little off , but whether it is by design or just luck, it totally works. Anyway, i'm quite surprised by this anime. The characters are engaging and seem to be well rounded. For instance, when Saeki questions her own beliefs ("am I a hypocrite") or the scenes in the bathroom where normally you'd expect her to say something like, "STAWP FIGHTING GUISE!" (..Or something like that...) but it was Yumi who stepped in (and it was done so well, I love her character) or when Funabashi rebelled (albeit a bit cliche). I mean, you just don't get a lot of this in anime. I also enjoyed that the focus on the episode was more on the people around Saeki, though it still maintained a balance (the interactions between her and Gintaro). That is, it never felt like the MC was left out. Just a wonderful episode.

I'm honestly a little disappointed with this show. I guess I was looking for something with a more Natsume-feel, except with girls. Instead it's like watching a mellow "cute girls doing cute things show" with a fox spirit.

Not a bad premise, actually... I'm just not sure it's being executed to the fullest.

I find this show relaxing and heartwarming. The conflict didn't annoy me because its everyday highschool stuff... Not too deep but not insignificant either. When she told Gin she loved him... Awww.

I look forward to more of this relaxing show.
