This review may discuss plot details.
Without making this simply a synopsis, MC has lost master to demons, has pent up hatred to them, is weak and pretty much useless til he meets a fox demon he doesn't know is a fox demon. She opens up a new world to him not just with a sutra but as a friend, potential lover in time, ally and student. The problem is the MC lacks common sense, everything has been about revenge so is the usual potential harem protagonist, who ignores most overtures or avoids them. He doesn't pay attention to the people plotting within the temples against him,and doesn't bring back the full truths from mission for fear of what will happen, as if he knows somethings wrong, but walks into again and again.
I found the show watchable. with the mystery of his masters death the main underlying theme, but the characters just seem poorly written with their actions and although the animation and music can be counted as good, the plot in general, and things like him worrying about a persons reputation when possibly facing death, and the oversight of the elders or lack there off make it look like our MC doesn't really have a friend at all there bar one. It was kinda depressing that way, and continued to get more depressing as i continued. Sadly too much seems to rely on the cute fox girl, and filler seemed to take away from the story of the ghosts, even if they are trying to tie his prejudices being overcome and romance in, when he is pretty oblivious thinking she is just teasing him.
Had heard this was great, but disappointing, a nice idea, poorly played out
