LOL, the little quarrels between the spirits are funny to watch.

Satoru still seems like his indifferent self though. An alright episode I guess. The more cherry atmosphere with Satoru seemingly moving on makes it pleasant to watch :3

Dat photo at the end.

This was a nice episode, it was good to see Satoru finally open up to others and have some fun. It was also funny when he slapped the 3 girls on the head with that book, at that point I thought he was a harem protagonist xD. But that photo at the end of the episode was nice as well, it was good way to end the episode.

This was a nice episode with the girls throwing Satoru a welcoming party with them starting to know each other a little more after having a little quarrel before.

This was wonderful, the 2 senior heralds had some very wise lines
Satouru was Sasuke-like at time with all the girls glaring him

It's sad to know he only remember the death dates of his parents and grandparents only
I wonder if he made up his birthday 23rd September and Bloodtype A

The outburst mainly because of his height was very funny
and it was nice to see Haru is getting more tolerant of letting him go a little more

The monkey heralds looks like fun in the preview

Looks like Satoru is finally starting to settle down in his new home. I think if Haru had been a human girl she would of been very annoying but as a fox herald she's just funny! ^_^

finally a good episode. It took them half of the series to reach something decent but it's here.

that part where he went crazy was interesting... I was expecting to have some teh drama about fact that no-one understands him and so on, but this height part made it fun (or allowing Satoru to open to other people).

That was a really good episode. Definitely best so far. I loved how Satoru and Haru's friendship was so solidified through his development. His development was handled really well too, instead of some melodramatic overreaction he simply expressed himself accordingly and didn't make a huge deal about it.

This episode was a lot better than the previous episodes, and yet the story still feels so "forced". The writing could a lot better...

This episode had everything I would want from a Gingitsune episode. A couple of laughs, beautiful animation and music. Character development for Satoru. And the ending was very warm and "feelsy", just as I like it. I'm looking forward to the rest of this series. Probably my favorite this season.

This episode, and the previous one, were quite enjoyable. I like the way that Yumi being her selfish self had the effect of drawing out Satoru a bit and the way Haru developed a little more was also sweet. Gintaro is proving a good influence on Haru and this is somewhat the mirror of Makoto's influence on Satoru.

I've also grown to really love the opening theme 'Tiny Lamp' by Fhana. I have it on my my headphones at work.

I love Satoru and Haru's relationship, Haru is just too adorable...especially when Gin was holding onto her near the beginning. Although Haru wanted Satoru to learn to be with people, it's definitely a very happy thing, but at the same time, a little sad because that means he'll be with her less. I like how Haru went to talk with Gin and said that she will keep him company, though it's probably the other way around. It's nice to see Satoru being able to be with other people, and even get angry! Don't get to hear Ono Kensho's angry voice very often.

Haru is so adorable.When she first appeared i actually found her annoying, but now i can really see that she loves and really cares about Satoru :D.Also, her relations with Gin are awesome.
Speaking about Gin, he really does feel lonely.Hopefully he will get more scenes and happy moments in next episodes! ^^

So yeah, this show is so awesome, yet so underrated :/

Oh Haru, why are you so adorable? :D It's nice to see some good character development for Satoru and our beloved tsundere fox spirit.

That scene with Gin holding on to Haru was soooo cute!

Many characters development like Saturo's are handled very poorly but I liked this one. Didn't feel forced or anything. Hopefully Gintaro gets more screen time in the next one.

Nice development for Satoru. Getting angry and letting it out is still a way to open up.
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 am totally there with Funabashi! I've been crushing on Tatsuo too!!

Haru is still annoying, though in this episode she wasn't quite as bad. Hopefully, now that Satoru is coming into his own, she'll calm down a bit.

A lot better than the previous episode. Haru got a lot better too and is less annoying for sure. I'm anticipating a cool friendship/bromance between her and Gin!

I'm liking this pacing a lot and I hope the next few episodes stay true to this consistency of quality!

Satoru is a character that I find easy to relate to. He's closed off from others because of his past experiences but he does want to try and make friends. It's good to that he was able to come out of his shell a bit this episode and make friends. I wonder if Haru will be alright though now that she sees Satoru might not need her all the time. Also looking forward to seeing how Satoru changes moving forward.

nice episode but better than the last one? i cannot believe this. this ep had not much feelings but annoying and overacting girls and an uncomfortable boy who gets angry. thats it ... the last one on the other hand had some of the best flashbacks constructions i have seen in a while in a single episode and some nice Gintaro moments and other small but strong relationship things between the shrine residents. also i think the ep with the turtle was way better than this one. so much more specific gingitsune shrine stuff and not something that would fit in any other normal school/work anime with a new student/worker in the gang ...

Yumi was spot on ahahaha. Funabashi really has father complex, remember how she keeps on asking where her father is and when he will come back, and she was blushing while handing over that gift to Makoto's dad ahahaha.
Yeah, Satoru should take it easy and just have fun with other people too.
Haru is adorable now. Gintaro feels lonely too, he is just not showing it.
That picture was sweet~

Satoru reminds me of myself .. a shy boy .. a meek one .. but when I realize it doesn't get me anywhere .. I spend my time trying to express my feelings more clearly and now, my "confidence" is going smooth and friendly .
Pretty great episode !!! I also can get agitated by loud noises but I can endure it for a long term . Gladness for a change ~ !!

The Narration is available, nothing complicated as usual, and flows peacefully showing us how the poor Satoru unable to set up its new activity, not bad.
Drawings a bit scarce, the rest is nice and cute.

I can certainly relate to Satoru this episode. I thought that when he finally exploded we might get more drama, but the girls just shrugged it off. Very lucky having people who would go to such lengths to be your friend.

Ah, everyone's curious about Satoru eh :P I can understand him not liking too much noise but it was nice of the girls to try to put in so much effort to getting to know him better. Thought things might go downhill after he got mad but it seems everyone made up in the end :3 Kind of a shame, I wanted to hear what they talked about XD
Seems like he's slowly adjusting to life at the shrine at least. Haru's annoying as ever, but at least they both chilled out a bit this episode. "Take it easy" is some good advice :D
Looks like we'll have more heralds next episode ... monkeys? :O The difference between shrines and temples ... yeah, no idea either Yumi :P

Satoru is kind of boring. I'm sure it's because he was stunted when growing up, so hopefully he gets better once he starts opening up more.
