Gugure! Kokkuri-san

I love the way Kohina acts. Her mental state and her gestures are fantastic. The reactions of each characters are perfect for this type of anime. The story is cutesy, standard fantasy stuff. The animation manages to mix moe with harder features using the characters. The background is lacking in many respects, but that's not really important simply because the focus isn't on the background. The focus is very upfront and on the surface. When they do focus on the background, like with episode 10 and the Maple tree, they do a very good job. The sound is great. I love the choices for the music and the characters' voices are spot-on. The way that Kohina gasps is one of my favorites... She tries to maintain her robot image, but sometimes she slips, which brings hr kawaii/moe nature to the fore-front and builds her complex nature regardless of how simple she would like to appear at first glance. The characters, themselves, are nothing particularly special (except Kohina), but I gave them a 9 because they are portrayed very well.

Overall, a 7.75 / 10 might seem like a high rating, considering the type of anime that it is, but I gave my opinion. I am entitled to my opinion. It's a very fun watch. You might not enjoy it as much as I, but I'm sure you'll like the show.

8/10 story
