Uchoten Kazoku is a good anime that is worth a watch. It uses the unique setting of the existence of tanuki, humans and tengu to present its view upon the world. At first I thought, doesn't look very good, where is this going, what the heck. But after I had seen the first 3-4 episodes, I was thinking hmm this is actually quite nice and it was quite nice. Aside from the slow start in which it sketches the unique setting (including characters), all episodes are really enjoyable. Sometimes there is a short arc, other times it could be seen as stand alone, but actually fromthe very first episode onward it is building up a climax for the end.
In conclusion, I am happy that I kept watching beyond the first couple of episodes and that I was able to experience this enjoyable anime.
