Totally getting a Fruits Basket vibe from this show, which makes sense (same director and all). Anyways, hilarious stuff here, and I definitely would love to see more.

I hope someone picks this up for streaming, though; otherwise I'll probably just wait until the whole series is subbed to marathon it and follow Tonari no Kaibutsu-kun as my shoujo series of the season instead.

Poor Nanami... meets Mikage.
Tomoe was not happy with Nanami.
Her sudden goddess status was a surprise.
Her Earth Deity duties were very much like a caretakers..
That Tomoe is totally tsundere.... I like it LOL
The whole other world adventure was really fun to watch!
I really like Nanami - Tomoe relationship, will be watching this one!

[HitokiriShadow]

Well, I like Nanami but this premise seems pretty much designed to annoy me and require Tomoe to do the heavy lifting and her be saved frequently.

Much of the show's comedy also falls flat for me.

I might watch another episode but Nanami's not amazing enough to make up for the show having so little else to keep me interested.

Episode 1:

- Very cute protagonist girl. And damn these designs feel familiar, but I haven't seen much from the character designer outside of Hitohira.
- Mimori Suzuko. Himawari!
- And lol Ishida Akira.
- Glorious evil face when Nanami learns that she can make Tomoe her obedient servant. =D

Not a lot of commentary, but pretty enjoyable. Very hectic, maybe a little too much, but still fun. <3 Nanami.

[Damius]

Well, the series did grab my interest. Plus, it was quite fun. I'm looking forward to more of this. And I like Nanami quite a bit. I want to see more of her.

I didn't know it was from the same director. I should read more about this kind of things. It's nice to see more of his work.

Nanami was really surprised by Tomoe gesture.
On the other hand he was not happy to be a familiar again.
At least she managed to go to school to see that pop star guy.
Kurama sure was a jerk.
I was surprised at Tomoe's kind heart.
Looks like he has it in him... when he wants to.
Interesting how she managed to win over Kurama.
She'll probably start collecting other youkai too ^^

Episode 2:
::reading a romance novel:: "I wish my high school days could be like this too." "I heard there's an ostrich being chased by a fireball!" HAHAHA, brilliant.

Okay that was a lot of fun. Nanami's reactions to everything are a joy to watch, and even Tomoe's awkward attempts to help her are pretty good. Kurama is also tolerable because he's made into a laughingstock so quickly, and not treated as a serious villain.

But above all, Nanami is just an awesome character.

[Damius]

- No, Nanami, that was not a dream, not a dream at all.
- Poor Tomoe… Nanami didn’t even felt his presence…
- Nanami meets the real Kuruma… that is painful.
- Just after the 30,000 Yen issue with Kuruma, Tomoe enters the class with quite a feast and a speech. Hehe!
- The Kuruma VS Tomoe battle in every aspect will probably continue…

Nanami reactions are epic.
