Reviewing after rewatching after a decade since its first airing. This show is heartwarming, simple and wholesome. Story revolves around Inari shrine, Makoto Saeki, the teenage girl, as the protagonist, doing her daily life mostly with Gintarou, herald, fox-like creature. Yes, she can see spirits since she was kid. The one that makes this show differs from other slice of life is they treated the minor characters so well. Even if it's not deep. Also don't forget the character development. As the story goes, the new herald appears and one human character as a main supporting character or should I say closest comrade. This showhas slow pacing so you need extra patient to see the character development and further events. But a bit portion of comedy kinda works to maintaining the audience due to the pacing. Not to mention the visual is great as well. The studio is doing good job on this too. Just calm, calm and calm what I got while watching this show. There is romance too in this show but it's subtle, tho. The OP and ED are also good especially the OP sung by famous Japanese musician. We also get the education of shrine life, ritual at shrine, temple, etc.
