8.5/10
Sometimes a touch of magic is all it takes to find ourselves. In this sweet and extremely underrated magical girl tale, ordinary middle schooler Inari Fushimi gets more than she bargained for after a good deed bestows her with magic. Will her new powers ultimately grant her wish, or will she have to learn to embrace reality?
While we’ve seen this setup hundreds of times before, this empowerment story adapted from the 2010 manga offers a relatable female lead, a lovable supporting cast, and heartfelt lessons we all can relate to. Inari is kind, hard working, and determined to change herself for the people she loves, yet also struggles to be honest with herself and makes mistakes. The beautiful animation, sweet character designs, and soft, melodious background tracks greatly adds to…

Well. This romance anime is probably what you won't be expecting. This anime values the friendship and relationship of each character more than being specific about romantic feelings. Though, sometimes it is good like that. There's always something that I enjoy about this anime, is it because of how thrilling this anime can sometimes be? Or is it because this anime generally has a good conflict every time they have one? Alright, the romance between the main character Inari, and whoever that guy's name is.. is actually quite boring. It's just a typical trope where the female has been simping him for ages, then the male slowly but surely grows feelings for her, and boom, they end up together at the end. The only good romance in this is actually between Inari's brother Touka and the Goddess.…

What a missed opportunity.... Making the story about Touka and Uka would've made this anime 10 times better,but alas, it didn't happen. It's... an allright watch i guess. But there's alot of ground that hasn't been covered. Like the whole premise to be precise. Why does Inari need the divine powers while Touka can see the gods just fine and all, that's the biggest plot hole ,that without proper explanation rather ruins it. Especially since at the beginning even Inari herself can see Uka . This is mostly a watch to pass the time . Get too invested in the story and you'll be dissapointed. Watch it in the right mindset and you'll be satisfied. I personally wasn't that much. But maybe you will.

Inari Konkon shows how intimate the relationship between a god and a human can be without it being in the realm of romance at all. The mother-daughter relationship between Uka and Inari brought me to tears many times, especially in the last episode. You can truly see how much they care for each other and love each other, and how much they need each other. It was such a beautiful friendship -- and in fact, all of the friendships in this show, especially between Inari and her group of girl friends, feel so real and well developed. It really reminded me of middle school but in the best way, where emotions are overflowing and everyone is awkward but there's still just so much love and joy to go around.
If I had to compare Inari Konkon to two other animes, it would be Kamisama Kiss (in that it…

This is a show that is widely unappreciated, left unnoticed, maybe seen once in a while but almost never.
It is a pretty calming watch, The show throws you a lot of surprises, events that have really unexpected outcomes. It also does present the characters emotions well especially in the first few episodes showing us the 5 stages of grief. It can really make you sympathize with the characters, feel the same emotions, and support their story as it progresses.
It is also a show that ends quicker than usual having only 10 episodes (excluding ova) and the usual 24 minutes per episode. It is fairly surprising how they are able to corporate a really emotional piece in such an unusually short period of time while anime with a lot more episodes fail to do so which makes this one a bit special.…

When i finished some new anime, i think about "which story it told me?" and from there i can tell my experience. I cannot tell which was my experience watching "Inari, Konkon, Koi Iroha". That anime is the definition of "less is more", it try be so many things but can't be anything. If the anime focus on one simple thing, which would be telling your story, it would have been better.
Story 5/10: The story is simple, show how a human would uses the power of a god. It's simple, show how a human would be reckless and selfish with such power, and they show a patetic romantic comedy that in the end has no meaning for the main plot.
Character 3/10: I can count in my fingers how many characters are be useful. Many disposables and others you don't even remember.
Sound 8/10: The sound is greatl a…

DO NOT READ IF
I have 2 main problems with the anime which are explained below and are connected to the story so to avoid spoilers, don't read it
Even if i'm really into such animes, I needed 2nd approach to watch Inari Kon Kon, but to be honest i'm not sure myself from where it comes.
Honestly beginning of the anime is quite good. Maybe only most inpatient people might have to wait until like 2nd episode to start enjoying its story...which isn't bad, but i have some issues with it.
First of all whole story idea is based on one fact that doesnt make any sense based on how story went (if there was some magic reason for that, explained in manga, i'm not aware of it as i watched only anime). Main problem of main character Inari, starts becuase of the devine power she got from Uka, by using…

So at first i rated this as an 8 then after i finished it i was disappointed and dropped it to 7.I don't want to give any spoilers but let's say the ending is not good it's not bad but it's the unsatisfying ending that would disappoint you and you'll fell like it wasn't worth the time.After that i read the manga because it continued after the anime and that was quite a huge difference. It had more impact more drama more romance and a very satisfying ending.I ranked it as 10 and considered to drop the anime to 6 but gave up.
To wrap everything the anime wasn't special was like some average-to-bad anime to watch when you've got nothing else BUT i do encourage you to go read the manga as it will make a huge difference to the way you see the anime

Watching the three episode I thought this is a masterpiece of romance anime, two couples, one love triangle and super powers, where can you go wrong. This show reminded me of cardcaptor and when episode four happen and it went down hill from there.
This show tried to be "woke" like cardcaptor and when you go woke you go broke. It ruin one of it's character and it's love triangle. It got rid of the mc's love rival by having her fall in love with someone else, and the way she fall in love is out of character and your typical trope of falling in love after being rescue. The love rival is presented to us as a very pretty,fashionable, popular with the boys and girls. A girl who i am sure has plenty of experience rejecting people and would not needs to be rescue from men. She is also the boys…

Not the best. Not the worst. Inari, Konkon, Koi Iroha is a series about an ordinary girl who received a wish from a deity. However, her wish wasn't what she wanted so the god gave her divine power instead. Granting her the ability to transform into whatever she wishes to transform into. Though, she must face the obstacles awaiting in front of her as a consequence for getting the divine power although she's must a mere human.
Story : 7/10
The plot's kind of a meh. I feel as if there's a lot of things missing in the plot of the story. It's not perfect. Like, for an example, I want to know if Inari couldn't see the god anymore. Then can her brother see the god?
Art : 7/10
The art's alright. But I'm not really a fan of this art style. It makes me feel slightly uncomfortable despite the…

During the year 2014, Studio TROYCA gained sufficient popularity from its collaboration with Gen Urobuchi, birthing a hub of controversyーAldnoah.Zero, unbeknownst to many during that time, TROYCA released another series during that year that went under the radar because it wasn’t co-written by the guy who was primarily known for Madoka Magica and partially for gory, tentacle lolis (Saya no Uta).
• I didn’t think that I would like Inari Kon Kon after watching the first episode, because the female protagonist is pretty much a mouth-breathing creep that envies a pretty girl that her crush likesーso much so that she wishes for a shrine God to turn her into that girl.
• Luckily, the series doesn’t permanently stay in that stasis of continuity for very long, but there is a lot of main character…

I sincerely believe that the main theme that surrounds the protagonist about her precocious romance is incredibly boring and repeated, it would only be advisable if you were under 12 years old and you were in love, as for the relationship that exists between the goddess and the girl is much more interesting that the main problem that leads them to know each other, although I think that Inari is not more than a girl too common to be so special and receive such power ...
In short, it is more interesting the secondary romance between the brother of Inari and the goddess (and that we see very little) that the long boring romance of Inari and his problems so topical and at this point very recurrent and even absurd.
P.S:I think it would have enough interesting topics to deal with if it were n…

Inari, Konkon, Koi Iroha Is a interesting show to be honest. It doesn't do any of the stuff you would expect from show with a human getting god like powers and able to change into anyone and i mean even the fun stuff from these types of show's.
I came in expecting the MC to be more goofy and mess around more. But in this she just does nothing of interest with these powers. The characters reactions tend to be lackluster and the story feels very ham-fisted.
~~SPOILERS~~
Any drama that happens feels artificial. Such as both Uka and Inari not wanting to tell each other cause they don't want to worry each other. The entire story could not happen if they didn't act like actual people. Near the end the ruler of the gods ( Or whatever she is meant to be ) Locks Uka in a cave and she ends up alm…

If I have to pick two adjectives to describe Inari, Konkon, Koi Iroha it would be: heartwarming and underrated. I have to admit I got here cause I googled "animes to watch when you are depressed" [to chear you up, not to get even worse], and I feel very lucky that this anime was in that recommendation.
And now I can just recommend it too, because its a great show!
Inari is a normal girl with dreams and wishes like any ordinary girl, but with an unusual big heart, and she gets to meet Uka-sama, a godness that prefers to be on Earth watching us humans going thorugh the cycle of life -while she plays otome games- instead of living with the other Gods.
Inari Konkon has drama, comedy, action, shintoism, and lots of love and hapiness. I rarely I found myself loving *all* the characters, cheari…

Inari, Konkon, Koi Iroha was heartwarming, short, and cute. It won my heart by the second episode, with interesting characters and a beautiful plot.
The anime is about a sweet shy girl named Inari who has a hard time conveying her feelings. One day Inari witnesses her crush handing a love letter to a beautiful girl. Depressed Inari runs off to her family shrine and cries out "I wish I could be her". A fox deity who lives at the shrine appears and gives Inari a "divine power" that allows her to shape shift. The anime mainly focuses on how Inari uses this power.
This is the perfect anime for me. I'm a sucker for cute love stories with some supernatural elements. My favorite things about this anime are the character development, setting, and art.
The art is amazing. I have nothing more to…

One of the best feel good anime that I have seen in a long time.
Though it has only 10 episodes+1 OVA the characters manage to really capture your heart.
An extremely sweet and wonderful female lead. Such a refreshing honest story. It has romance but the romance is like the foundation for a story...almost like a back story.
It starts with her wanting the love of the boy she has had a crush on forever...but it actually is a story of love in a complete view. Love between friends and love for herself as well. (she starts off with low self confidence and with envy for an another girl)
The story mixes comedy and perfect moments in such a beautiful way that I honestly cant believe it was just ten episodes...and I regret the fact the series is over. There were moments you sweatdrop and moments…

Overall, I really enjoyed this. I do wish it had been a few episodes longer, though. Even one more episode could have tied up the ending in what would have been, I believe, a more satisfactory ending. I think this is a great adaptation of the manga. It stayed pretty true to the story, though it was much faster paced. I really love this story for a lot of reasons, but mostly I think it has really positive role models for girls (which can be hard to find). I appreciate the inclusion of the Sumizome/Keiko, even though it didn't really develop at all. One thing I was really impressed with, though, was the background noises, such as the sound of the geta on the tiles. It was a small detail, but it was so well done that it deserved a mention.
In sum, I don't necessarily think that there is anyt…

I rated "Inari, Konkon, Koi Iroha" higher than I've ever rated any anime before. Why?
Story: 8/10
-I absolutely loved the story in this anime. It's very sweet and really tugs at your heart, sometimes pretty hard. It's really easy to relate to how the main character, Inari Fushimi, feels. Who hasn't experienced the desire to change for someone you love? Being jealous of others who have a better chance with them, even if you don't want to be? "Inari, Konkon, Koi Iroha" expresses these things to the viewer in a way that's not obnoxious. The story is great, but it really wouldn't be where it was if not for the characters.
Art: 9/10

I was pleasently surprised when I watched this anime, here's why:
Story 9/10
Welcome to the life of Inari, a girl with three friends and who is quite clumsy. She lives nearby a shrine that called the Inari Shrine. When she is in a hurry to go to school, she sees a little fox and helps it out of trouble. Then she may have a wish fullfilled by the diety of the shrine. Her wish: to turn into somebody else. Of course this will bring trouble and all that kind of stuff along. You could say this story isn't original, but I it is, go and watch it, you'll see why.
Art 9/10
The art was well done, it looked good. It remembered I saw the same kind of art in another anime but I can't remember which one.

Story: 6/10 It's a typical romantic comedy-ish. It seems that it's supposed to focus on romantic plots, but twists and moves on to another theme,friendship. It switches between the two themes frequently, so romance elements tend to lack and almost end up being dropped. That being said however, it's still enjoyable and easy to follow.
Art: 10/10 I adored the artwork. It is very well done. From the shrines to the landscapes of basic surroundings, it was really beautiful. The characters were average and nothing special, kinda basic, but it's not like they're an imitation of other anime characters.
Characters: 7/10 Although the characters were kinda generic, I still found them enjoyable. I really enjoyed Uka being a main character and all the others added in their own ways.
