This anime was broadcast on UHF stations and was released in a volume of 24 episodes. Below, we will explain in detail the appeal and features of this work, as well as the recommended points. The appeal of the storyThe story of "My Family's Inari Shrine" begins when Kuugen, the great fox spirit who has been the guardian deity of the Mitsuzuchi family since ancient times, is released from his seal to protect Takagami Toru, the modern-day descendant of the Mitsuzuchi family. Contrary to the legend, Kuugen has a frivolous personality, and Toru calls him "Kuu-chan," and he begins living as a member of the family. This setting provides an interesting twist in which a sacred being blends into everyday life, providing viewers with a fresh surprise. The story follows Tohru, his brother Takanori, and Kou, the Mitsuzuchi family's guardian, as they get caught up in a series of mysterious events. Each episode features battles with monsters and gods, comedy elements from everyday life, and the deep bonds between the characters, ensuring viewers won't get bored. In particular, the chaos caused by Kugen's mischievous personality provides both laughs and emotions, entertaining viewers. Character AppealThe greatest appeal of this work is its unique and attractive characters. The protagonist, Takagami Toru, is a pure and kind-hearted sixth grader who is so good-natured that he even tries to help those who are trying to kill him. His purity gives the story warmth and evokes sympathy from the viewer. Meanwhile, his older brother, Takagami Noboru, is an interesting character who is reliable in taking care of all the household chores, but has no powers as a priest. And Kuu-chan is the central character of this work. Because she has forgotten her gender, she can transform into either a man or a woman, and her frivolous personality and mischievous side add humor to the story. Kou is an expressionless, emotionless guardian woman, but her stubbornness and unbelievable actions at times make her even more charming. Sub-characters such as Ebisu and Sakura Misaki also add excitement to the work with their own personalities and involvement in the story. Animation and MusicZEXCS, the animation studio, has meticulously depicted the characters' movements and expressions, bringing out the maximum visual appeal. In particular, Kugen's transformation and battle scenes are spectacular and provide visual enjoyment. In addition, the beautiful backgrounds by art director Yasutoshi Kawai also enrich the worldview of the story. In terms of music, the background music by Yasuharu Takanashi enhances the atmosphere of the story and brings out the emotions of the viewer. The opening theme "KI-ZU-NA ~To the Distant One" features Hitomi Sora's powerful singing voice and symbolizes the theme of the story. The ending themes "Kaze ga Nani ko to Iwatatteru" and "Shiawase no Kotodama" also have beautiful melodies that match each scene and will stay in the viewers' hearts. Recommended points"Our Family's Inari Shrine" is a work that can be recommended for the following reasons. 1. **Unique setting and story development**: The setting of a divine being coexisting with a modern family gives viewers a fresh surprise. Also, the battles and comedy elements in each episode are well balanced, so you won't get bored. 2. **Charming Characters**: The unique characters, including Kuu-chan, draw viewers in. In particular, Kuu-chan's frivolous personality and mischievous side provide both laughter and emotion. 3. **Beautiful animation and music**: The detailed animation by ZEXCS and the beautiful background music by Yasuharu Takanashi enrich the world of the story and provide visual and auditory enjoyment. 4. **Themes of family love and friendship**: The themes of family love and friendship depicted throughout the story warm the hearts of viewers and evoke empathy. In particular, Tohru's purity and Noboru's reliability deeply move viewers. "Our Inari Shrine" is a worthwhile anime series that combines laughter, emotion, beautiful visuals and music.
