Ah, Gugure! Kokkuri-san, a masterpiece of storytelling, a true work of art. A girl named Kohina summons a fox spirit named Kokkuri to be her servant, and what follows is a rollercoaster of emotions and excitement. Actually, no, it's just a bunch of silly antics and absurd situations. But who cares about a coherent plot anyway, right?
About the Style is the epitome of sophistication and elegance. Just kidding, it's actually pretty average. But what it lacks in visual flair, it makes up for in sheer ridiculousness. From Kokkuri's creepy obsession with Kohina to the absurd antics of the other spirits, this show is a wild ride from start to finish.
Let's talk about Kohina, the main character. She's a deadpan, emotionless girl who seems to be completely unfazed by the crazy world she finds he…

Amusing, funny, and full of heartwarming moments, Gugure! Kokkuri-San managed to captivate me with it's unique charm and cast of characters.
There were too many things I liked about this show so I'll try and keep it short and sweet, just like Kohina.
Perhaps the best thing I loved most was the characters. Ordinarily, I like unique Anime shows, that offer a large to Medium variety of characters. However, Gugure! Kokkuri-San has such a small amount of characters and I just loved them. The characters of the show are obviously from Japanese mythology and games. These spirits that are supposed to be terrifying all have such the personalities and characteristic traits given to them that were just so hilarious. Their jokes, slapstick, relationships (how they got along) and gags were something t…

I didn't know exactly what I was getting into when I first starting watching this anime, honestly a friend just sent me the link and said, "Here, watch this, it's great!" and he wasn't lying, it really was great! I thoroughly enjoyed it till the very end. It had ups, it had downs, it had "what in the world, did that really just happen?" moments.
Story: 7
The story of this show was decent. It didn't have a plot, the characters didn't really have anything they were working towards and it could have honestly lead in many different directions. Though the story took a more casual approach to it, introduced loveable characters and gave them all a nice little personality that conflicted or complimented.
Art: 7
The artstyle of the show varied, depending on situation. Personally, I didn't like th…

Gugure! Kokkuri-san revolves around Kohina, a little girl who believes that she is a doll. Along with Inugami (a dog spirit that can transform into both a woman and a male), Kokkuri-san (a fox spirit that looks A LOT like Tomoe from Kamisama Hajimemashita), and Shigaraki (a perverted weirdo), the four of them go on numerous, hilarious adventures.
The story (5/10):
The anime doesn't seem to have a plot at all, and it barely shows any progress. However! It does not deserve anything lower than a 5 because it's comical. This anime, unlike many others that also don't have a storyline, made sure that the characters and events were humorous enough to keep the audience watching. I kid you not, I was laughing like an idiot the entire time. This anime truly was a breath of fresh air.

Gugure! Kokkuri-san! is one of those episodic slice-of-life anime that will hook you up in the beginning of the series but tends to become boring when the same slapstick comedy is repeated. Overall, the show has some good points and touching episodes and some fail to amuse you.
Story- 5
The story is fairly simple. Kohina, the young neglected main character living alone without adult supervision, calls upon a fox ghost, Kukkuri-san. The fox ghost decides to haunt Kohina after seeing her bad living habits of eating of eating cup ramen daily. However, instead of haunting Kokkuri takes after her which he figuratively becomes a house mother-guardian of Kohina. Other spirits and ghosts decided to haunt the girl. The anime is just about the daily life of Kohina, Kukkuri-san and the other spirits…

Gugure! Kokkuri-san is a 'good' anime where the term 'good' surely requires a lot of explanation. For while I enjoyed it to some extent, I won't be extremely eager to recommend it to someone else. Let me explain. Unlike some animes that might not mess up in various ways but their positives are not so appealing either to get them a 9 or 10, Kokkuri san has both positives and negatives.
Plot wise, there isn't much except the appearance of the different ghostly characters in the anime and how interact with Kohina - the protagonist of sorts around which the entire story revolves. Thus it is an episodic anime, other than the characters popping at intervals, there is no bigger plot. And honestly the plot here doesn't matter as much as the characters and the entertainment they give. However ther…

Gugure Kokkuri-San is a very cute anime and I enjoyed it. This is a great show to watch on the weekend when you have not much else to do. The idea is interesting and the show is high up there on my favourites.
Story: 6 It's not too special because there's nothing to be achieved or done. The first half of the show was very entertaining, but later on I became bored. The comedy aspect helps the show deliver a story and keep you content.
Art: 10 The art style is great, not much else to say.
Character: 10 Each character has their own powerful personality unique to him or her. The character designs suits each character well.
Enjoyment: 7 The element this show plays on most is comedy and it excells at that. I didn't enjoy it as much on the second half, but I was content. Character communicat…

I wasn't sure what to expect starting this show. But am I ever glad I did start this show.
STORY:
First thing's first: if you're looking for a deep story that will make you rethink your life, you've come to the wrong place. However, the story is very cute, and hilarious. I rarely laugh at shows, and with this one I found myself laughing at almost every episode, I thoughly enjoyed this show. And while it may not be the deepest story out there, or even very moving, it does have it's sweet moments that are lovely in their own respect.
Not great plot-wise, but still amazing.
ART:
For the most part the art is great. It's cute and really helps with the humor of the show. There are some scenes where some of the characters have more realistic features, and those moments threw me off, but it's…

I don’t usually write reviews and I’m not, by any means, an “expert” in anime but about this one I really felt the need to write one so here we are.
“Gugure! Kokkuri-san” is a sort of slice-of-life comedy with supernatural involved. Now, after knowing this and reading the synopsis above we may somewhat expect what the anime is going to be about.
Even though I said I’m no expert in anime (and I’m definitely not), as an avid fan of comedies I’ve watched quite a lot of them and I end up having the need to talk about them. Now, in my opinion there are many great comedy animes out there that are not as high rated as this one currently is. Could it be because it actually was not all that well executed? They had a special kind of humour directed to a specific audience…

The story started really well I'd say the very first episodes gave me promises what is it gonna be about. It's seems that our characters intentions comes from their past were the two main character deeply related. It promises to find out why is Kohina pretends to be a doll, and why Kokkuri-san wants to help her(only have a suggestion, that Kohina is reincarnation or descendant of someone who Kokkuri-san knew once). However the as the episodes goes on we won't go any further on their relation significantly. Instead of it, we'll know other 5-6 characters whose past are barely told in 1-1episode, there isn't really more time anyway for them, since the anime have 12episodes.
The art is fair, the colors are lively and some pattern on clothes are interesting but nothing more impressive regardin…

It is a great way to waste your time waiting for new anime episode. Though the story has a lot of holes in it, it is still enjoyable. It is a refreshing way to start off your day and will make you wanting more and more information about each characters. I would given it more than a 7 if it had given us more explanation to certain things, but it what it is. I have never seen a heroine's personality like that so it is very surprising. At first you might be unsure of this anime but I would recommend you watching it if you are bored, and having nothing else to do but wait for airing anime's new episode.

"Humans are ephemeral.
... die in an instant.
It would be painful to lose someone again. Our lives are moving very slowly to share with humans but are very long to live them alone ...
I wish ... that things stay like this forever. " - Kokkuri-san
I was gonna put an 8 but the last episode made me change my mind it's a nine or a ten. The last 5 minutes were so simple but oh my god the feels , i cried like a little bitch okay let's begin.
Story : 8
Okay it's not an outstanding story , it's so simple with an original comedy , satire and parodies without ecchi or shitty comedies nowadays , it's even criticising the japanese old thinking..
Art 9 : nothing to say very good
Sound 10 : Perfect and fit so much with the scenes.
Character 10 : here comes the good point , you will love every char…

(This has been adapted from my reddit thread)
People in society often believe in a wide range of "things:" religion, luck, and destiny are some of the first to come to mind. Some believe what they do to find comfort while others use it as a means to explain the impossible. Another common belief includes beings of the supernatural variety. In other words, ghosts. Spirits that are caught between the land of the living and the dead, forced to perform some duty before passing on completely. While such creatures are typically associated with horror, that isn't always the case. And Gugure! Kokkuri-san aims to make such a statement a truthful one.
STORY
The tale begins one day when Kohina, a young girl, begins to play a game of "Kokkuri-san." Surprisingly, the game works, summoning the fox-lik…

Gugure! Kokkuri-san is probably the underdog anime of the Fall season along with Bahamut: Genesis. This anime will give you certain vibes that will make you reminisce about either Barakamon or Gekkan Shoujo Nozaki-kun or even both. The entire anime consists of comedies and gags wherein some might enjoy while others might find it ordinary or poor and hence, this anime is not for all of those comedy lovers who have varied opinions when it comes to the genre 'comedy'.
Story (5/10):
There is no general plot or storyline where this show follows. The synopsis, which skims through the first episode in its entirety is the only entity that can be called as a plot. Other than that, this anime follows an episodic pattern with no continuity from the first episode. Since this anime is episodic in natu…

Gugure Kokkuri-San has come to an end. Another ending which make me feel ugh, what to watch again. Honestly this is the funniest anime to watch in 2014. This reminds me of barakemon and Gekkan Shoujo Nozaki Kun, those two anime shows were really great. I really like the voice actors typically Daisuke Ono, who voice of course Kokkuri and Sensei from Barakemon.
So here are my results:
Story: 8/10, I thought it might follow the plot story like Inugami running away from home and thought he will be search by the members on EP 10, but well he is completely ignored. Funny, it may contain mix up plots since it' published in Manga, so yeah.but still it's good to watch
Art: 8/10, I have no comments on this, but good job on Kokkuri-San especially when she's a girl.
Sound:9/10, The OP song was r…

Barakamon has left an empty hole in my heart. After watching the first episode of Gugure! Kokkuri-san I felt like I might have found something similar, yet much better. How disappointed I was. There isn't really a central plotline there to speak of. The attempts at character development are pathetic. Humor is mediocre.
Overall...meh...if you have nothing to do, give it a shot, otherwise, go watch barakamon. I liked it a lot more.

Gugure! Kokkuri-san is a quirky anime. It has no plot and is a bit strange at times. This is an anime where, sometimes, you are so clueless that you have to laugh at it. That's why it's a comedy.
And yes, I did enjoy the weirdness of this anime. Sometimes, when my older sister got bored, she'd went into my room to see what I was doing. I had to pause several times to explain what was happening, because she never seen it, but most of the time I didn't know how to explain it because it was so weird.
Yes, there are some almost inappropriate scenes in it, but it's for the laughs. And there are also some scenes where you are either blushing so hard because something is so cute or there is a romantic scene; you just don't know what to expect when you click the button to the next episode.

Gugure! Kokkuri-san is one of those shows that are a rare gem to find when mixed in season where big name shows like Psycho Pass 2 and Tokyo Ghoul, take all the attention. This show, like stated in one of the other top reviews, proves that you do not need big boobed women, gore and blood, harems, etc. to have a good show.
Story: The story for this, is really straight forward. A very odd girl named Kohina, lives alone in a house and does nothing but eat cheap bowl's of noodles. She then performs a ritual of sorts to call out for Kokkuri-san. She is able to summon him, and after a while, Kokkuri-san takes it in hear to constantly haunt her, and help her with things such as eating better. Through out the show, other characters are introduced and some of these characters are demons who decid…

After finishing "Gugure! Kokkuri-san" I had to think to myself: What makes an anime good? Is it the person's expectations going in? Because I came for the comedy and at no point throughout the entirety of the show was I ever disappointed. In fact, comedy is the only thing that this show even makes an attempt at, and boy does it do it well (although there is a recurring message in the show if you can pick it out). I'll try my best to tell you my thoughts on the show, and if you hate the very core of my being after this review than I'm sure we can talk it out like civilized people.
Characters- The show has a diverse and hilarious cast to ensure that you will laughing at, at least 1 of the 5 gags/jokes this show throws at you per minute. 8/10
