Maid-chan no Anime: Konohana Kitan
Maid-chan hopes you had a nice day! And even if you have not, Maid-chan might have something for you to make it better!
In her last post about Blend S, Maid-chan reviewed an anime with quite some cute and moe elements. But as far as cuteness goes, this was not the end! Prepare yourself for an extra dose of cuteness: Foxgirls!
Kitsune, foxes, have a several thousand year old role in Japanese mythology. Especially the kitsune that are the servants of the goddess Inari, a major goddess responsible for agriculture and fertility.
The Konohanatei in the anime is a hotel for mostly supernatural guests, and all the servants there are kitsune.
New to the hotel is the young foxgirl Yuzu. She is quite gullible, but Yuzu also possesses great empathy. She is also extremely moe, Maid-chan is sure you will think.
Yuzu has to learn the ropes of the trade from Satsuki, a serious foxgirl who, at start, is not very happy having this clumsy girl dumped on her. But with time Yuzu gets accepted by Satsuki and the other kitsune servants.
Of course a lot of accidents happen, even to the boss of the Konohanatei, Ookami.
But also a lot of fun happens, sometimes with guests of the hotel.
Beauty, cuteness, mythology
But undoubtedly the most impressive about the anime is the beauty. Warm, colorful pictures, well animated and with an acute eye for body language.
If you know traditional Japanese mythology you will find a lot connections. This is also true for the art. A lot of the landscapes, Maid-chan is sure, would score hits for traditional paintings in a reverse search.
There is no “big” story, but some interconnections between the episodes, one impressive concerning the Konohanatei’s boss Ookami. Maid-chan likes that sort of stuff!
Maid-chan also likes the mythology. It is cute what the minds of humans do, right? All those legends, myth, rituals and dances!
Conclusion
If you are a fan of Japanese mythology, this anime is for you. Cute foxgirls with funny characters and incredibly beautiful pictures together with kamis and yokai will give you a lot of heart-warming fun. Come and watch!
On the totally objective Maid-chan scale, this anime easily gets a 9/10 thanks to the all-encompassing beauty.
Such a beautiful anime!
Upbutted.
