{Spoilers}
So for some reason I had a tab for this anime open on my phone. I literally have no idea how I came across this anime, like actually no clue because my memory is so bad. It's got a little bit of a Fugiken Mononokean vibe to it with the portrayal of the celestial plain and how the gods are pretty relatable and human-like (a quality that I've seen in a lot of shows with kami in them, maybe it's just a portrayal of how they are in religious texts? I'm not too sure, but in any case it's a common thing) and it's also got a little bit of Kamisama Kiss, partially because of the fox character with the clumsy shy girl and also just that feel to it.
In terms of the actual quality of the anime, it wasn't the best in terms of plot. It was basically this average girl named Inari (lol I just keep thinking about the sushi inari every time) who was watched over by the fox goddess(?) named Uka. One day Inari saves a fox that turns out to be a familiar for Uka-sama and to repay Inari's kindness Uka gives her one wish. Inari's dumb and makes a bad, impulsive wish which ends up in Uka having to give Inari some of her divine power in order to right the wrong. Giving Inari this divine power comes with a lot of complications as every time Inari uses it to transform into someone else it makes Uka weaker to the point of almost disappearing. Overall it was just about Inari not knowing she was hurting Uka and Uka not wanting to live without Inari knowing her and becoming too attached to humans in general. They both had to learn their lesson the hard way with Uka almost disappearing in the end. Obviously everything had to end with a happily ever after, so that's what ended up happening and that in and of itself made it a quite boring watch. It's like you already knew almost what was going to happen. In the 10 episodes, nothing really spectacular happened. I mean, Inari found her love in Tanbabashi and Inari's friends were pretty cool, but it wasn't anything spectacular.
Although, I do have to say that I loved Sumizome's loyalty to her friends and her gap moe
Of all of the things I noticed about the anime, was I actually really liked the ambiance in some scenes. The golden light, the autumn leaves, and the soothing background music was very transporting. However, that was probably one of the only things that I found appealing and note-worthy of the anime--was the ambiance and sceneries.
Overall, I can't say anything about this anime was spectacular. I wouldn't say there's any particular reason you should watch this anime besides for the ambiance and maybe if you're looking for a kami-sama kinda anime with cute girls and a questionably chuuni older brother.
Oh, and this is Kon. This is my favorite character in the anime. Although I'm not quite sure why there's a leaf on the tip of its tail?
