Jeez, look at that picture. That's not someone with a Koto-like ponytail, that IS Koto! There's no way that's not Koto from the future or something, especially considering they didn't change it in episode 0. "Inari" must be an inherited title related to the fox mask or something.

I thought it was pretty clear that he adopted her, and that their relationship was strictly mentor/student for the time being. That's why when she called him Papa after that dream sequence, he was all "what"

It's how she was able to talk about Mirror Kyoto while she was still young.

Uh OK. (ep 3 spoilers) So I guess Fushimi and probably Shoko are from Shrine too? Episode titles from the website by the way. quote:＃０ 予習篇 So expect the 2012 stuff to continue through episode 5 and some fully new episodes to kick off after the documentary thing. see you tomorrow fucked around with this message at 06:03 on Oct 24, 2013 |

The mob vs. the crow was a hilarious sequence. I also liked how Shouko's anime re-enactment was essentially Giant Robo.

What confuses me the most is the apparent relationship between Inari and Lady Koto. I'm certain I don't understand what is supposed to be there at all. What makes even less sense is that girl-Koto is supposed to resemble the original Myoue in some way. Last year's ONA showed Yakushimaru being given the Myoue powers and henceforth being called Myoue. I don't know if he can create drawings that can be brought to life, but he can certainly kick-rear end. He may be girl-Koto's guardian simply because no one else is powerful enough. This episode's focus on Kurama was terrific. Interesting to see how serious and studious he was all through his childhood -- and also obedient. There's no doubt that Shouko and Fushimi are from the Shrine. I went back and watched last week's episode regarding this, and I wasn't able to spot anything definite. I thought I might. Inari is really the big mystery. Also, from the full-length ONA from last year, Lady Koto returns; however, the original Myoue is no where to be found.....

I dont think he's the guardian just because he's strong. Kurama mentions that Myoue is the most similar to her, and its not just because he's human. So that probably factor into the decision. I still think kid Koto is probably the original Myoue's reincarnation. Or at least a part of his reincarnation. I have no idea what to make of Inari. All I know is that the head priest in the first episode used the same mask and has the same familiar. Mind you, I haven't watched the ONAs so they might explain some of the Inari issues.

For some reason, I thought the original Myoue was Inari, since they looked similar which I thought was the big reveal of episode 2, but I could be wrong. It also would mean that Koto is probably Inari and Lady Koto's biological daughter, which is already somewhat probable since she does resemble Inari. The fact that he seems to be connected with the black rabbit and knew about Mirror Kyoto hinted at that direction though.

I probably would have loved this episode a lot more if I hadn't seen the latest episode of KLK hours ago. Pretty awesome episode though, and I especially enjoyed watching that army of bumbling agents chase after the controller.

What seems to throw everything off is whether or not Koto is playing dumb about everything since we, as viewers, are left in the dark about some of the bigger details in this mystery.

I love how the younger Koto is just an absolute terror, totally unapologetic about destroying things and pounding people in the face when they need it. "It wasn't a fight! I destroyed him!" Sums her up pretty well, and that's just fine with me.

Well, in addition to the points you just made, Inari and original Myoue have the same voice actor. What would that make Koto, anyway? A quarter each of fox, human, rabbit, and Bodhisattva? That's approaching Kurosaki Ichigo levels of 'bloodline melting pot.'

The thing about Inari being the original Myoue is that their body types seem pretty different. But that could be confusion stemming from how the monk robes make the original Myoue bulkier looking and there apparently being two inaris.

I hadn't watched the 2012 ONAs until today, and drat did I love them. Episode 5 was particularly poignant. Also caught up on the current TV series, though it's slightly annoying to be rewatching many of the same scenes back to back. I'm not sure if I like the TV series spelling everything out so plainly. Half the appeal of the first ONA and the five after that was piecing things together, and revealing things backwards. Having it start at the beginning was simply surreal. For Inari, I think they could really go either way with him either being original Myoue himself, which I think is more likely what with him having the original drawings in his private study, or a newly created big brother for Koto, which comes from him looking rather different. He was also apparently in mirror Kyoto, which leads credence to that, since apparently they haven't had any visitors. Except maybe Shouko and Fushimi are from the shrine, though I still think there's room for interpretation there. I never thought there was any doubt that "long-haird Inari" was actually Koto. It never even occurred to me. It just looks like her future self stepping in when her past self needed a little help. I think they definitely changed the origin of her hammer, though, unless there's something huge I missed.

Commie's version of Episode 4 is out for all you non-Crunchyroll viewers. It was an all right episode, I didn't like it as much as the previous few, but it was still good. Making trash day an almost holiday event is pretty interesting conceptually though. (USER WAS PUT ON PROBATION FOR THIS POST)

Finally got around to binging the TV episodes so far after not watching anything since the original ONA came out. This show is pretty much Anime of the Season. I can't really describe why I like it so much, aside of the obvious appeal of ~colors~, but it does scratch an itch I haven't felt fulfilled since Tsuritama. It's just... so generally pleasant I guess. Koto rules.

Didn't Kurama seem like an archetypical, sinister old man who controls everyone else nefariously? A rather boring and tried cliche, that is--yet anime pulls characters like that out all the time. If Toei Animation can flesh out a guy like that and make me care for him, I'm convinced they can do anything with the show.

Episode 4 is on CR and it's as charming as ever. Yase's relationship with mum Koto is really heartwarming. There's just something about this show that just makes it so nice to watch and the only gripe I have with it is that all the colours make it harder to stream with my slow download speeds. e: Also, is there any reason why CR is a day late on this? As far as I know every other show is up at the same time as it is in Japan. Widdiful fucked around with this message at 18:45 on Nov 1, 2013 |
