Art style and character designs is really what drew me in. Unlike some other anime and manga, this one elaborates on ALL of the characters. Characters have an amazing feel to them. On first glance I thought the series would just surround Yuzu, but instead it included all the characters. The art in this anime was flawless in my opinion. Bright, and beautiful. Some of the episodes might make you tear up because of the story. If you're looking for a nice, wholesome, slice of life anime that isn't centered around school life this might be a good fit. Yuri is hinted at through-out theseries, but never really outright spoken about. Traditional Japanese themes are consistent in the series.

This anime was really quite the journey. I did not expect to enjoy it as much as I did, given it is the first anime I have watched where it's a female cast of animals. This was something I was meaning to avoid altogether since I believed they always pandered to fan service. And, well, Konohana Kitan still does to some extent, every instance of the girls taking a bath is usually never that risqué in a way where you feel uncomfortable due to how emotionally deep each of these scenes is. Comedy does fill the essence of this anime at times as well, though it'smore lighthearted humor than it is outright hilarious; excluding a few instances in the middle and especially some bits of the last episode. If you are looking for a comedy, however, this anime will fool you into thinking it's just what I said, a lighthearted comedy. But, it will very quickly shift gears as soon as you're comfortable. The emotional bond of the fox girls is enough to make you tear up at least once if you have a heart or even multiple times if you are sensitive. All of them seem to fit well with whoever they are paired with. From Yuzu and Satsuki to Ren and Natsume (these two in particular are kind of paired romantically to an extent), you will always look forward to their bonding moments. Well, I pretty much listed the only two important ones, but they do have lots of screen time with one another. Let us get the character types out of the way. Satsuki and Ren are your typical mature and immature tsundere types, respectively. Natsume is the hotheaded one that always wants to have some fun. And Yuzu is the typical saint character due to how compassionate and caring she is to everyone around her. A character type I thought would've annoyed me well watching, but some of the quotes she said in certain situations would sometimes be unexpectedly more powerful than they needed to be, but they were never off the mark either and I could not help but feel moved. The anime gives off the vibe that it is going to move around a lot when you start up, but it quickly becomes a bottle setting faster than you expect. The locale being the Konohanatei Inn. Well, it's also a place known for customers coming to relax, as it has a hot springs. And that is primarily why you see the girls bathe a lot, so the scenes are surprisingly not there for fan service. Of course, you'd think them being in there already defaults it as such, but then again, wouldn't it be a bit childish if everyone was just soaped up in bubbles the whole time? Just because they are nude doesn't necessarily make it fan service! It would have if they had the perverted girl character that just wants to rub up on everyone and measure sizes, but that was not the case here. Oh, but don't worry, it's not going to show their nipples. One of my favorite parts is that every episode has its own unique ending to fit the nature of the episode you just watched. So, even if you only felt a little moved during a watch, the credits may be able to throw you back into the mood. Really, I suggest not skipping them. The opening is always the same, though. And now the negatives. As usual, the tsundere type is annoying in at least one character, this time being Ren. She is really obnoxious and it is quite hard to love her, no matter how cute they make her. And she is just a little too rude to Yuzu, which really gives off the vibe she is forcing her character type. Nobody could ever be rude to a saint unless they were really a heartless person, which is exactly the vibes I get from Ren and the deeper moments she has with the other characters slowly became less meaningful due to how arrogant she is. Satsuki is in the same type, but it's not nearly as bad and you can relate to her personality much more due to her character being coherent. At times, some of the supernatural stuff will make you feel lost and may throw off the writing if you are not paying attention, so I highly suggest you do not make this a "look at the phone" anime where you are leaving it in the background well you do other things. In particular, I got completely lost in the eighth episode, but I will not say why to avoid spoiling anything. I will say, however, that the way the plot was written was quite beautiful and, amidst my confusion, I could not help but still feel emotional in some parts of the episode. Despite the genre this anime is geared toward, I'd say even female viewers would be touched by the beauty this anime offers. It does indeed have a lot of bath scenes, but not really in a way where you would see them as inappropriate unless you're just a really perverted individual. And male viewers probably wound up enjoying the story it has to offer as well. Konohana Kitan is an anime worth your time, but I do suggest you watch it slowly if you have a weak heart or your eyes may be as dry as Yuzu's. Or, well, everyone really, as every character cries at least once in the anime.

Spoiler free review ahead. To note: The review will be conducted solely based on the merits of the show. I have not read the manga. As such, the existence of the source material will be ignored. The Premise: Konohana Kitan follows the story of Yuzu and her friends as she begins her journey as an attendant at the wonderful hot springs inn, Konohanatei. It is here that they provide a relaxing stay and wonderful service to gods and other supernatural beings. The Story: Actually pretty good. The show takes on the style of having each episode as its own isolated story, and with each passing story we build on therelationships and lessons that Yuzu and her friends learn each day. While there's no particular overarching story line to follow, this can be dismissed since each of these individual instances are rather beautifully done. They do well with mixing different emotions and stories together, sometimes opting for more humorous incidents and other times choosing to chase a more serious and introspective lesson. There are some important plot points in certain stories, however, that hinge on the viewer's understanding of the show's setting, which I didn't find to be clear in the beginning. The first couple of times these things came up, I found myself confused until I pieced together the setting of the story. The Characters: I found almost all of the main cast to be enjoyable. While Yuzu is undoubtedly our main character to follow, we learn quite a lot about her friends Satsuki, Ren, and Natsume. There are some secondary characters we have throughout the show that we don't see nearly enough of, as they're usually entertaining. However, when these characters do appear, they serve a very desired purpose. We see some decent character development to Yuzu as she becomes more comfortable with her position and gains confidence, but I was surprised to see the time given to others like Satsuki and Ren, and even latecomer Okiku had her moments of character development. I do feel that we were left without development or motive for the Head Attendant Kiri and the master of the house, Okami, however. The Art: The art throughout the show was beautiful. Everything was very colorful, and when they needed it to not be, it wasn't. The show did a really great job of matching the visuals to the emotions that were intended to be conveyed. When art and narrative match up, it really does wonders. Character style was pretty moe, but I don't personally have any problem with that particular style. There were some great background shots, as well as environmental and ambiance effects, too. The Sound: The sound was pretty good. Voice acting was spot on with the emotions trying to be conveyed, I felt. The soundtrack was nice, as well. The opening song and sequence were nice, though I skipped it most of the time, but I have to say that I can't really remember the ending sequence, nor did I feel compelled to watch and listen to it more than once. The Conclusion: Konohana Kitan delivered a wonderful and heart-warming slice of life option for the season. I'm a sucker for cute, and this show absolutely foot the bill in that regard. The show was one comprehensive product made up of a number of smaller stories and character interactions that were done well. If you're looking for a slice of life show to add some cuteness to your repertoire, Konohana Kitan would definitely be recommended. If you've watched and enjoyed Konohana Kitan, let me also provide a recommendation for further viewing pleasure.. If you're a fan of the slice of life or hot springs setting, I would point you towards Hanasaku Iroha. It also follows a character beginning her journey as a hot springs inn attendant, and the relationships she forms as well as the challenges she overcomes during the process. Thanks for reading. o/

Hiya! The 50th Robert's Too Late Reviews has arrived! And this time we have such a darling show to talk about. I absolutely adored my time with the fox girls of Konohana Kitan (as is my tradition, the dubbed version). It was heartwarming, funny, and very interesting with its light exploration of Japanese mythology. I recommend this series heartily for those 'go in blind' types seeing this. Will the RTLR wall of inn patrons get bigger? Lets rock this house. Story: 8 The story isn't anything to get too excited over, as the plot has been used many different times. The poor girl basically has nowhere togo, is thrust into a job with others, and must learn not only to be a good employee, but also to find a place within the 'family'. I was instantly reminded of Kanamemo, and in a lot of ways this title is similar, though they pulled it off by leaps and bounds better than former series. The biggest, and the most interesting difference to me is that Konohana is set in the spirit realm, kind of a place halfway between earth and the afterlife (heaven, whatever). That gives the show the ability to include outlandish guests such as gods and mystical creatures, and even normal mortal humans. In fact the entire staff (save one late entry) are all mystical fox girls themselves. The story that follows is a slice of life type entry where we see how the clumsy main character causes all sorts of problems, but her wonderful charisma and honest heart win over both the staff and the guests. Eventually she become proficient enough at her job to truly be a member of the Konohana family. Has this story been done many times before? Yes. But the inclusion of the spirit realm, the mystical elements and the existence of magical creatures seems to set this story apart for me, and had me rooting for all the guests at the end, not just the staff. The fairly self contained stories run the gamut from a mystical girl who weaves nonstop to create a beautiful part of our world, to a priest that has a 'possessed' doll he's reluctant to exorcise, instead deciding to leave her with the inn staff, to finally a mortal woman dealing with heart breaking sadness that came to the inn to have her final wish come true before passing on to the hereafter. The stories themselves are engaging and I found myself looking forward to each and every episode. Art: 8 I would have scored the art at a 9, but they do a LOT of comedy bits in it where when in a stressful or odd situation, the girl or girls will be portrayed as kind of oblong, detail-less blobs, primarily when they are scared or such. This might be hard for me to describe properly, but once you see it the first time, you'll know what I'm talking about. There are lots of moments where the comedy takes a firm hold of a scene and these tropes appear. I don't mind them, they did punctuate the comedy of those scenes, but I think the story would have been better served without so many of them. Otherwise the art is wonderful, I like the detail in the eyes, the ability the art had to convey emotion without words. The animation seemed smooth enough to me. I will mention I did not care for the weird priest with the doll and his super cucumber shaped skull. Everything else looked good, and I always enjoyed when they showed the exterior of the inn, with it's beautiful architecture. Sound 8: Another I might have scored higher if it wasn't for the main character Yuzu's voice. She sounds appropriately innocent, but her voice does stray close to ear straining fairly often. She never got bad enough to grate my nerves, but I wish they could have made her a little less ditsy sounding. The other girls voices are all really well done, fitting their characters nicely. The opening and closer are nice, I especially liked the opener quite a bit. Seemed fitting for a show about a girl coming to age and finding her place in the world. The background music is never intrusive, and knows when to rise up and when to quiet down. I found the music enhancing my enjoyment. The sound effects for the comedy bits were funny, if not completely predictable. Character: 9 There are many different characters in the show, though not as many as some ensemble casts. There's the girl who wants to be a priestess but ended up at the hotel instead while her sister got her priestess job. She harbors resentment over this, but there's more to the story than even she knows. The boss of the inn is a literal fox (who can somehow appear human with just a little makeup) who is strong, but very fair to her girls, taking good care of them even if she sounds a little gruff sometimes. The head servant is an affable, laid back kind of gal that takes it all in stride, and is always there with words of encouragement or wisdom for Yuzu as she bungles a job, or gets on everyone else's nerves. The obligatory mean girl is there, straight and stern as always. She's the girl who wanted to serve the gods but her parents made her go to the inn instead. A lot of her anger has to do with the fact that the only knows a snippet of what happened when the decision was made by her parents. That's often the case with people, things happen, and they think the know the whole story, when in fact they only know a tiny bit of it. This girl tends to have to herd Yuzu around and teach her the job, something she grumbles about constantly. There are a few other characters as well, especially the awesome almost silent Sakura, who is a freaky little girl with some strange habits. The cast is well rounded out with personalities that clash enough for drama, but never so much as to break the bonds of love between them. Each member shares a fair bit of screen time so your 'best girl' likely will get enough of a story and scenes to make a fan of any of the girls happy. Enjoyment: 9 It all comes together nicely, this story about an inn set in the spirit realm full of fox girls, talking mice, gods, holy men, and even humans. The comedy keeps it from getting too bogged down and taking itself too seriously, but there are episodes (one in particular) that had me all kinds of misty eyed. It was a joy to watch Yuzu and the girls get into their hijinks and carry on. Keep an eye out for the magic egg. In the dubbed version there is one hell of a funny exchange regarding it. I would, and probably will, watch this anime again sometime, so my enjoyment should be more than obvious. Best Girl: No surprises here: Satsuki. Give me the straight laced, uptight, mean girl every single time. Even though she tries so hard to be tough, she really is a big softy inside. But I like her better in butt-kicking mode. And purple hair! Gotta love that too! I wish I could go to a hot-spring inn between the earth and the afterlife. Maybe someone will build one someday. Until then I have the memories of the fun I had watching this anime to hold me over. As for the RTLR wall of fox girls, Satsuki scores a spot, bumping Emma Frost from her post (see not just anime girls, though it's starting to get that way!) Take a trip to the inn, I think you'll enjoy it. And with that review 50 is in the books!

The story is definitely very light-fluffy shoujo-ai, although they don't really perform any action such as kissing or anything, you can see from their actions or their intentions of their feelings for each other. As well as they author of this anime have already written manga similar to these, with the fox characteristics. which at first i thought it would be something based on the manga, the mangaka had written. But still turned out pretty good. Like i still enjoyed the anime overall, it has a satisfying ending, as throughout the anime, it goes through everyone's backstory which very interesting, as some anime only focuses theMC. Overall good anime, if you prefer something balance and relaxing to watch something similar to Natsume, where there's no drastic ending or end hanger, than you'll like it, especially if you don't mind a bit of Shoujo-Ai (Extremely light ver. of Yuri)
