There are some nice lessons and customs that the show talks about. I thought it was interesting that Makoto felt hypocritical when she said...

Haru’s right when she blurted at the end of this episode that humans are weird. She was pointing to how Yoshizumi wished that “weird wish” when him and his boss, Hiwako, vistited the shrine. Oh, who am I talking about here anyway? Episode 8 takes a surprise turn – of all ...

This was a nice start to Gingitsune. There was some world-building, establishing main characters through some background information. The first episode sort of thrusts...

Episode 7 of Silver Fox is all about monkey business…literally monkeys. Makoto and the gang gets to visit a temple (where Yumi’s boyfriend lives!), unknowing that there are monkey heralds there and making fun of the monks. Here’s why: Buddhism and Shintoism is supposed to be similar, if not a ...

Episode 6 of Gingitsune is another hit again. Except that this time, I find it really close to my heart, as if I channel the Satoru in me. Or should I say my personality’s similar to his – reserved, loner, has such distrust in people that he would rather live ...

It’s definitely painful for someone to be left alone by the ones they love. More so, feeling out of place anywhere as anyone doesn’t care about you and is not willing to give you love at all, or at least some attention. This is what the last 2 episodes of ...

One of the shows am thoroughly enjoying this season is “Gingitsune”, the anime adaptation of the original “ぎんぎつね” manga by Ochiai Sayori, a slice-of-life story with supernatural elements. The story follows Makoto, a high school girl born from a lineage of shrine priests, who from a young age is able to see the shrine’s herald […]

This episode of Gingitsune brought a new character, combined with a really annoying chibi-fox who pretty much acts like a cocky little kid despite being eighty years old. It was a really dramatic episode, with a lot of hammy voice actors. And yet somehow this episode managed to bring a few tears to my eyes. [...]

The 15th Successor and Gintaro & Learning to Compromise Youkai anime and the like seem to be getting more and more popular, and there’s a reason for that. These things are deep and thought provoking, and quite often cute and entertaining. This one focuses on a shrine maiden who can see the herald of the […]

We have a couple weeks’ worth of articles to mention, so let’s get started! Frank finds that Outbreak Company‘s “mission” offers some very important lessons for missionaries of the gospel. [A Series of Miracles] Medievalotaku refers to the sin and sainthood, among other ideas, in his examination of how Kill la Kill approaches the idea of […]

I really love how Silver Fox talks about deeper issues than teenagers’ raging hormones. For Episode 3, we get a glimpse of the ill effects of urbanization…in the form of a turtle? You see, Makoto found a seemingly innocent turtle near their shrine, only to learn that the turtle is ...

Silver Fox’s Episode 2 evokes some nostalgia in me. Not because I’m a girl or something but because I’m familiar with the topic anyway. You know’s it’s atypical among high school students no matter what culture we’re talking to. Here’s what happened: we’re introduced to a new character, Hiwako. (Not a good-sounding ...

I have been particularly excited about a number of anime that have started up (or continued) and the possibilities that they have opened up […]
