It’s rare these days I would think about an anime, months after watching but the 7th season of Fox Spirit Matchmaker does just that. I know most people couldn’t even get through the 1st season and I almost didn’t too. The juvenile jokes, weird pacing and bad animation of season 1 was tough to get through but I’m glad I stuck with it. Fox Spirit Matchmaker is at its best when it focuses on telling love stories, exploring aspects of the many facets of love which isn’t often presented in anime. The basic premise involves fox spirits helping lovers to reunite in the present life

after reincarnation, specifically when one party is a human (with a limited lifespan) and the other, a demon (who lives much longer). Season 7 made a lasting impact on me - it did something different from the usual premise. The love story differs from the other seasons as the lovers are both human which made it more relatable. It got me thinking about how some marriages fell apart when the person you married is no longer the person you fell in love with. For those who struggle to get through season 1, maybe give the series another shot by watching season 7 first - it’s sort of a prequel to the series, with much better animation and a cohesive storyline that focuses on telling what the series does best: love stories.
