Kanokon: The Girl Who Cried Fox

Kanokon: The Girl Who Cried Fox

Introduction

Kouta has girl troubles of the supernatural sort. For some reason, he keeps attracting the attention (and affections) of animal spirits! Having spent most of his life in the country, Kouta is understandably nervous when he moves in with his grandma to attend a high school in the big city. He hoped to make a good impression, but having Chizuru, a beautiful fox spirit, hanging off his arm didn't seem to be the sort of image he wanted to have. She's not alone in her love for Kouta, either. Nozomu, a wolf spirit, as well as other youkai have their sights set on the hapless country boy.

If I had to define this anime, I would describe it as "pure fanservice." It doesn't have an exciting story or anything that really makes you eager to keep watching. The only thing it really has is the many ecchi situations the protagonist gets himself into, and that's pretty much it. Each episode tells a different story, almost like a slice-of-life series with ecchi elements mixed in. The only time there is any real narrative continuity from one episode to the next is during the final part of the anime. If I had to find some kind of story in this anime, I would simply say that it's about youkai (animal spirits that can take human form) trying to live peacefully alongside humans in society. That's basically it lol. As for the main characters, I actually think they're pretty charismatic, a…

As an adult, Kanokon seems much stranger than I remembered. When I watched this anime as a teenager, I remember having a lot of fun. And to be completely honest, the reason was quite simple: ecchi. Back then, I consumed practically any anime that had exaggerated romantic comedy, provocative characters, and absurd fanservice situations. And Kanokon delivers exactly that from beginning to end without the slightest shame. In my "teenage self's" mind, it was just a funny and naughty anime. Chizuru seemed like the epitome of insanity within ecchi anime: a completely unrestrained character, extremely provocative, and who practically didn't let the protagonist breathe in peace. The entire anime revolves around this exaggerated dynamic between the two, full of embarrassing situations and moments…

I've never seen anything like this. The worst part of my experience with this piece of shit is that it was one of my first anime when I was little. For goodness sake, I didn't really watch any of these great things at first: The Seven Deadly Sins, Blood C, and even then, let's forget about that. However, after rewatching it about 5 years after my first viewing, I realized it was actually even worse than I remembered. I mean, holy shit, let me move the plot forward a little without having to peck at this bitch's tits every 2 seconds. I mean, I watch ecchi, my favorite anime is ecchi, albeit a light one, but still, this is at the sugar-coated level. I mean, I don't know if the people who animated it were jerking off while watching it, but I think so. An average Pornhub video is better develo…

Its the story of a shota named Kouta who is lusted after by two yokai. A horny well-endowed goudere fox spirit. And a lolita kuudere wolf spirit. Most of the anime revolves around hijinks and fanservice as these two girls do everything they can to make him theirs...even if it kills him. Both girls are insane, and always pussyblocking each other. And Kouta understands you should never stick your dick in crazy. But they are funny and entertaining. Do not go into this expecting some kind of deep plot. This is primarily ecchi. The selling point is seeing these two girls naked.

Not really sure what you were expecting. It's not very good, but still on the better side of this strange ecchi purgatory. Animal spirits living unnoticed amongst humans is admittedly a somewhat interesting idea, but, as expected, nothing much is done with it. They pretend that it's important for the spirits not to reveal their 'true forms' to humans, but that seems to be totally forgotten after the first few episodes. Other than the spirits part, it's nothing special. Two attractive women swarm around a spineless slug who looks like he's attending high school straight out of kindergarten. It has competent art, good voice-acting, and a few genuinely funny bits. It's a generic fanservice fest apart from those though. I mean, the tags should make it clear enough. For what it is, it's not th…

I will make it short, the ecchi in this anime or fanservice whatever you wanna call it is sheeesh pretty good but, the MC is dreadful, little innocent obnoxious kid, might as well not have any MC and let the grils do all the work if you're going to have someone like him as the MC on an anime like this, thats it. Why does this page want me to write a longer review? I have no idea, I have nothing else to highlight about this anime, there's nothing else about it, literally, so please MAL, just let me post my review.

This anime made me happy the day when I was disappointed because they changed the animation style of High School DxD in the fourth season, I really didn't want to watch the fourth season. Well, I found myself watching High School DxD Hero in episode 2 and I opted to switch anime and reminded myself of Kanokon, that one day I would see it and well I saw it. I had a lot of fun watching it, but I hope they put out a second season of the anime. The ending leaves many questions unanswered. A Blue-ray version would come in handy, I'm waiting for it. I enjoyed 10/10 I think this is my tenth ecchi and harem anime. I like ecchi with battles, this one does not have many but it was still very good.

The reviews I see of this anime are all judging it by the same standards you would judge any regular anime, but this is the very opposite of a regular anime. This is the prime example of the perfect trash ecchi, and I love this anime for that. There is no story, the art is very mid-quality and mid-2000s , the sound.... is pretty good to be honest (the OP is pretty good), and the characters are like Nozomu's chest- flat. But! Just because this anime has almost no substance does not mean it is not enjoyable. Watching this show in an ironic, non serious light has been the best experience I have ever had watching anime. The show is filled to the brim with fanservice, but even as someone who does not enjoy breasts in the slightest, watching these dumb scenes with characters being and acting stu…

This anime was so bad it actually cured my depression knowing I had no involvement in it's creation whatsoever, unfortunately it then put me into a deeper depression when I realised I was so bored I was willing to sit through this entire show. there isn't anything redeeming about this anime in any capacity accept for maybe getting drunk and laughing at how bad it is. There was no real substance to the show unless you like the heavy amounts of fanservice but a that point you might as well watcha hentai. At least with something like highschool dxd you can occasionally see a fight scene or something and yes that is how low I've sunk that this anime can allow me to praise highschool dxd. Overall there just isn't really anything positive to say about a show that was treat with less care tha…

Most of the reviews I'm seeing on here are not from ecchi fans so I thought I'd write a review from the perspective of an ecchi fan. First of all, people have wildly exaggerated the amount of ecchi action in this anime. They're probably non-ecchi fans who get bothered by everything slightly lewd. This anime is actually pretty tame on the ecchi compared to other wonderful ecchis like Kiss X Sis, Aki-Sora, and Scum's Wish. If you like yuri de-facto ecchis, then you're better off watching Citrus or Sakura Trick. The comparatively low amount of ecchi action is mostly the fault of this anime's bitch ass MC who pretty much ruins the show by being the whiniest MC anime has ever seen. Now I'm actually a bit of a passive guy in real life who has anxiety problems, I get the struggle of trying to m…

Hey all, Robert's Too Late Reviews are rampaging across the internet once again! Today's pertinent information is that I'm discussing the dubbed version of this anime, and this includes the two episode OVAs. To get to the quick of things, this anime is just terrible. It needs to be taken out behind the barn and shot. If you could only skip one show, this one would be a very strong contender. I would burn down the RTLR wall before putting anyone from this anime on it. Let's begin this fox hunt. Story: 3 I make no bones about enjoying the ecchi or harem genre of shows. I watched Highschool DxD, Testament of Sister New Devil, Omamori Himari, and while I didn't find all them stellar, I have to say that they are all cream of the crop when compared to this series. This anime is nothing but walk…

This show is not change your view on realty or shift your perception of the world if anything it will make you question what are you doing with your life. The main draw and turn away of this anime is definitely the ecchiness which is the base of the show. Now if you want to watch little shy boy (Kouta) get pushed around by huge breasted fox girl (Chizuru) then this is it man. But there's something else to it ,when I first watched this show in 8th grade I was probably trying to get a hard on or something. Now I watch it and find comedy in the simple portrayal of the plot and the gags. This anime was supposed to be dumb and doesn't take it self seriously at all. My fault in 8th grade was thinking this show was a hot and steamy romance anime ,when really it a very straightforward gag anime…

Kanokon is porn. If you do not wish to watch porn don't watch this. Kanokon is a great fan-service anime. It never takes it's self too seriously and gives a satisfying conclusion and has nudity. If you're looking for pee in my asshole go watch something else. If you want a lighthearted fan-service romance anime with lots of fan-service and nudity then this is your show. MAL Wants me to write a longer review for some stupid ass reason. I've summarized why this show is worthy of watching. Why are you making me write a 40 page thesis on it you fucking bastards.

I loved the Story, Art, and Characters. When I first watched the whole anime, I loved it for the Ecchi, but I just rewatched it after a few years, and this time the Ecchi didn't work for me, but I instead I saw the anime and was paying attention to the stories. At first I thought Chizuru Minamoto's actions were unwanted by Kouta Oyamada. However, I soon noticed Kouta Oyamada loves Chizuru Minamoto, but he is too shy and innocent but has no back-bone, so he will to keep his innocent seems to disappear with time. This story is touching but that is assuming you don't miss the big yet almost hidden picture of the story, I think the Ecchi good, but I feel the Ecchi hides the story if you force too much on Chizuru Minamoto's acts and not enough on Kouta Oyamada's acts. there two main stories…

I cannot begin to fathom how awful this anime was. I watched 6 episodes hoping for it to get better and it never did. In fact, the only reason I even did finish it was because a friend jokingly dared me to, and I'm no bitch. While I must give the animators credit for their art, the voice acting was horrid, the story boring even for an ecchi, and the characters constantly made me want to gag. Put very honestly, my anime watching friends and I use this as a prime example of one of the worst anime any of us have ever finished. Please go watch something else and not this. Thank you!

I gave this anime a 7 in general. I saw this with eng. dub. Which is why i gave the show the only 9 in sound. I always enjoy my native tongue. One thing i did not like about this was that this was centered mainly around the background of the main female character. One thing i did enjoy was the intro song. Kudos to the producers or who ever chose that... what i mean is when you break the song down at least for me it provides a female dominance tone filled with love, which of course works well with the show. Something i can not seem to put to words made me dislike the characters drawn. maybe it was the pointed chin feature.... not sure but i think there was more to it. If you are looking for a show that both genders may like this is worth giving a go. P.s. Most shows or i could say at…

*This is my first review so please bear with me Let me highlight the 5 main things I should be judging this based on. Story - This anime has no stable storyline and is only about a short (lolita-like) boy who has a harem. An older girl, Chizuru, (obviously hot) has an obsession with him and does perverted things around him. She wants him to beg for her most precious part of her body (the one she flaunts around, but say Kouta is only allowed to fondle them and stare at them. Another girl, Nozomu, wants to claim him as her own. She is much smaller and flat-chested. The only thing keeping this story slightly alive is the commentary by Kiriko and Yuki Art - I thought the art was fine. It wasn't one of which the art looked like it came out of a 90's or early 2000's anime. It didn't have dull…

Kanokon. My first ecchi, harem anime. Hold on while I wipe away my tears from listening back on the ending theme song that reminds me of the heart clenching, warming ending this anime has... All right, I'm good now. I cannot stress how much of a memory this show is for me. If you're looking for a wonderful little anime to watch in your free time, pick up Kanokon if you're into harem and ecchi. It will not disappoint. Ever thought back on the days when you were innocent and still learning about the world around you? Well, that's something you'll find yourself falling into; nostalgia and memories, along with the incredible choice of songs and the sound track this anime had for the time it was released. Even now, it's still above standard. The characters in this show are.. As you could imagi…

Kanokon's story revolves around Kouta Okayama, 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 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. (Taken from ANN) I'm going to say this now, Kanokon is a super ecchi/fan service anime but, for those two reasons, this show was pretty damn funny. I haven't laughed this hard in a pretty long time. I should also mention thi…

I won't lie to you, I watched this primarily for the ecchi scenes and fanservice. So, did I get what I wanted? I read some people's comments and reviews about Kanokon being borderline hentai, with lots of nudity, so I was intrigued. Well... can't say I was satisfied. First, expect most of the ecchi harem stereotypes here. We have a main character who's pretty bland, and has two hot chicks throwing themselves at his feet. Does he react? No, of course not. He's constantly embarrassed by them shoving their boobs in his face. Additionally, the two chicks are yokais - one has fox powers, and the other one has wolf powers. There are also a few side characters, but most of them were forgettable. The only side characters I liked were the redhead twins. Some of the scenes with them reminded me o…
