TV Thursday: Gingitsune

Today's review is

Gingitsune: Messenger Fox of the Gods

Status: Ep 5 - still watching?

Quick tip: I have to pee. Also I just peed about 280 seconds ago...

It is rare for an anime character to have any living parents, but Makoto (the shrine priestess) actually has a living father! She live there and talks to the herald Gingitsune (silverfox) who only she (and other shrine priests/priestesses) can see, and helps people with their problems. It is a bit slow, and I am not sure how long I am going be watching. It is cute, but it isn't particularly compelling and I feel that there are enough similar anime out there that do as good a job or better. I'm also a bit annoyed by the new character, a boy whose ant and uncle don't want him so he left to join the priestess girls shrine. Perhaps I am just sick of that troupe after Natsume's book of friends kind of rode the unwanted family member thing into the ground. (A wonderful anime, even if the last season felt a bit stagnant) Bringing a comparison with one of my favorite shows probably doesn't help this one too much either.


Rating:  2.75/5 stars
Watch the first episode and decide if you want to continue.
