Inari Konkon
So, the anime season is wrapping up. I'm still sitting on the finales of Buddy Complex and Pilot's Love Song.
I never did catch up on Noragami, which from the first 5 eps or so I have very mixed feelings about. There's a lot about it that I want to like: the visuals are beautifully polished, the worldbuilding is interesting, the characters are likeable and full of personality, the humor mostly works, the fanservice is occasionally annoying but within tolerances... And the treatment of the heroine's agency annoys the shit out of me (Hiyori is like this optimistic go-getter I just want to root for, and most of the time when she tries to achieve something it comes off as ignorant and ridiculous and makes a disastrous and embarrassing mess). I'm probably at the point of putting this one in the "when/if I get to it" pile.
I did finish Inari, Konkon, Koi Iroha, and I enjoyed it and recommend it, at least if a healing anime with some magical girl nostalgia and Shinto-supernatural sounds up your alley. ANN has a good review of it that I don't really have anything to add to.
