Am I the only with a fast-paced beating heart-excitement over this being animated? Kuwashima Houko and May'n and the animation isn't bad either...! I just can't wait! I hope they don't ruin the story... ; w; I really love this series ❤

Huh. Well. I completely didn't see this one coming. Neutral

My guesses for the last two FUNimation simulcasts were Pupa and Buddy Complex. I guess FUNi just really loves them some romantic comedies involving deities. I mean hey, it worked with Fruits Basket and Kamisama Kiss, right?

For a second, I though this was an announcement of them streaming three different shows. I didn't think that Inari, Konkon, Koi Iroha referred to one anime Anime hyper

Can't wait to see what kind of English title Funimation gives this one, its fun to see people rage over that kind of stuff.

Same here.

Hopefully it is one that is a bit easier to read, and one that is a bit more, ah, creative than the now-infamous "Cat Planet Cuties".

With recent information on the BD/DVD release for Pupa appearing to confirm the earlier rumor of only 5 minute episode lengths, it might be a disappointing selection for Funimation.

Having a short form anime as one of 5 new simulcasts might be perceived as being more shortchanged than being one of 30 or more (if CR gets it).

Yeah, I think I'll be stoked for this one when it airs. Hot older fox spirit, Kyoto accents, May'n, what's not to love. Definitely reminds me of the recent Gingitsune and the long-passed Wagaya no Oinari-sama, but it's always good to have folklore-steeped series airing.

Not just appearing to, the Bluray/DVD single disc release completely confirms that it contains ALL 12 episodes with a total running time of 60 minutes. When was the last 5-minute anime that Funimation ran? I can't remember ever watching a short on Funimation.

I'm really excited for this! Both the boy and girl characters are so cute, and if it's filled with sweet romance, just ah, and it looks beautifully done as well!
Can't wait!
