[Anime Review] Kanokon


Kanokon

"Feels too much of ecchi, but good things the story gets better on the 2nd half" -bezoe

Kanokon's story revolves around Kouta Oyamada, a young first-year high school student who moves from the country to the city and thus transfers to Kunpo High School. On his first day at his new school, a beautiful second-year female student named Chizuru Minamoto asks him to meet her alone in the music room. When he arrives, she reveals her that she is in fact a fox deity and from that day on the two hang out together. Nozomu is a first year female student at Kouta's school, she is in fact a wolf deity and in love with Kouta, and a rival of Chizuru for Kouta's affections.

First word... Very Ecchi (if you don't know the meaning of ecchi, then go look at wiki). From the first episode till last one, the ecchiness level never go down even a bit, which is good and bad actually. The good is, I love ecchi stuff, the bad is, too much ecchi actually becomes a distraction for the main plot. And thats what basically happened on the 1st half of the anime.
First 6 episodes I almost though this anime will be around C rating, but after episode 7, it actually gets alot better and continue to be a fun anime to watch until end.
Overall for story wise, its very simple but has a lot of entertaining moment.

The animation level was pretty good but not the best around, the character design a bit generic, but still got some strong personality. Overall for the graphic was ok. Side note: I hate the main guy character thoo.

Action scene was ok but not better than Inukami - thats the 1st thing that popped up in my mind.

OP and ED ost pretty good.

If you a type of person who really care about the story line and don't like ecchi stuff too much, then you can pass on this anime, however, if you like ecchi and can bear to stand 6 episodes of nothingness beside ecchi ( ep 1-6 storyline pretty weak in my opinion ), then I recommend you to watch it.

Overall Rating: B++
Favorite Characters:
#1. Nozomu Ezomori (cool girl always gets the 1st spot =D )

#2. Ren & Ai Nanao (Wish I can adopt them)

#3. Yukihana










#4. Tamamo
(hot momma)











#5. Chizuru Minamoto
(you can't ignore the boing-boing)
