Really? It was funnier than I hoped to be to be honest.
Episode 1 was awesome. We get to see Comedy, Fanservice, Fantasy and all. This plot (with Kouta kissing Chizuru willingly, corabining etc.), I can see some good potential Comedy and Supernatural-ness, as well as some Fanservice Ecchi maybe?
The Animation isn't bad, but it is slightly less than what I expected. I expected more of 'Seto no Hanayome/School Rurable' sort of animation, but Kanokon is more of 2004/5 comedy thing. Not that I really mind, face expressions are still awesome.
The cast for this.. they all seem familar in sound to me.
Kouta was really familar in the first 10 minutes or so, and it didn't hit me until he was explaining the countryside etc. until I knew it was Mamiko Noto, voice actor of, most recently, Clannad - Kotomi, and Shakugan no Shana II - Konoe Fumina/Hecate.
Chizuru's voice actor hit me like a truck the first time she spoke. I cannot misplace that voice, which sounRAB too similar to Shakugan no Shana's Yoshida Kazumi. Glad to see her character is actually not annoying like Kazumi..
Two major actors from Shakugan no Shana.. no wonder Chizuru is the busty fox deity version of Shana.
One last note, is it me or does Kouta seem like a Middle schooler instead of a High Schooler? What is this... shortacon material?
