| What does the fox say? Quite a bit in this show |
Inari Fushimi is a shy school girl who has trouble making
new friends as well as telling her feelings to a boy she likes. One day she
makes a prayer to the local shrine and her wish is granted in the form of
transforming her into another girl. When she finds out that it isn’t what she
wanted Uka, the local god, gives Inari a fragment of her divine power which
allows her to change forms. Thus begins Inari’s new adventures in dealing with
the gods.

| boys, in a slice of life show, le gasp |
Inari Kon Kon is a show that is a slice of life show with a
rather obvious supernatural twist being that it has gods and taking foxes in
the cast. It is different from most slice of life shows in that romantic
relationships are a significant but not overwhelming presence in the show. In
this aspect this show is something like the shojo anime shows that used to air.
This is not to say that Inari’s other relationships are given the short shrift
as much attention is paid to most of the characters.

| Friendship is divine, in more ways than one |
This show only lasts
ten episodes and spends a good part of the later episodes wrapping the show up
so there is no real hope of a second season. This means that there are several
plot lines that feel like they have been cut before they really had their
chance to really play out. Such is the fate of many anime shows that are
adapted from an ongoing manga. However said manga is currently unlicensed in
English so that avenue is closed to most people reading this blog as well.
Overall I found Inari Kon Kon to be a rather sweet and fun
anime show that it is an offbeat slice of life show that can be about slightly
more than four girls eating cake all the time.
Rating the silver Undine (Aria) for being a great slice of life show.
