Everyone has a show they like, but the consensus might not hold or view them in the same positive light. As the saying goes, "art is subjective" or perhaps it's more of an ineffable "guilty pleasure" - and that rings especially true here. Personally for me, Our Home's Fox Deity firmly occupies that latter category. And lately, I find myself coming back to it every so often.
To cut to the chase, Our Home's Fox Deity has no big, overarching plot. It's mostly just "vibes and episodic supernatural hijinks" with a few mini-arcs tossed in. Yes, there's a 'semblance' of a story, just not a strong, driving one, if you're so anal about that aspect. But even so, if you're watching for some rich lore or a grand storyline, well, this ain't for you. The entire cycle is basically "hang out with Kuu, de…

Interesting and enjoyable series, but lacks focus and closure
I watched all 24 episodes of this series, so it was interesting enough to keep me coming back for more. What I liked about it was the core characters -- the brothers Toru and Noboru, Tenko Kugen, and the Mamorime. Their dialog was warm and left one hoping they could all become a family together for the long term. The plot is mostly about how the younger brother Toru is at risk from malevolent yokai from the spirit world who desire to capture him for various reasons. The story suffers here from a lack of continuity and eventually the spirits seem to give up for the last few episodes and we are left mostly with slice-of-life episodes. There is an almost complete lack of closure in that some of the most interesting characters (Shi…

Excellent watch for anyone who loves slice-of-life and also the supernatural/fox deity theme here. Unlike many other anime, they spread out the main characters into two brothers (usually it is only one male protagonist). Even better, the fox deity is neither male nor female, choosing to manifest either at will. This makes for some hilarious situations. The balance between story, action, slice-of-life and humor was good, though not great. Every single episode was entertaining to watch.
The ending could have been better but I can understand where this is going since the Light novels are not completed yet. This leaves a possibility of a second season which will make anyone happy.

Now for those of you who might have been misled by the fox girl, this is NOT Spice and Wolf season 3. Now, it took me 20 episodes to realize that Holo would not make a cameo appearance on this show. The show might have made a good impression on me if it hadn't misled me for so long.
Music
The music reminded me of feudal japan, not medieval Europe. While that might been okay for any show that isn't Spice and Wolf, this one so clearly should have been.
Characters
The characters resembled those of Spice and Wolf while not being from Spice and Wolf. I feel like much content was stolen.
Enjoyment
Wasn't Spice and Wolf so not enjoyable at all
Overall
DON'T WATCH it doesn't have Holo like it misleads you to believe and isn't Spice and Wolf

I always find it odd that so many shows get labelled as something other than what they are. Even stranger is the fact that almost everyone will view the series in a given way, often missing a prominent feature of the show.
Wagaya no Oinarisama (or Our Home's Fox Deity), is just such a series as, whilst very clearly being a supernatural/fantasy tale, the strong slice of life tone of the story is often overlooked or completely ignored.
Based on a series of light novels by Shibamura Jin (with illustrations by Hoden Eizo), the series was first adapted for manga by Shofu Suiren, and was originally released in Dengeki Comic Gao! from February 2007 before being transferred to Dengeki Daioh in April 2008. The anime adaptation, produced by Zexcs, and directed by Iwasaki Yoshiaki (Gokujou Seitokai…

Wagaya no Oinari-sama was an anime that I was highly anticipating from reading the plot summary provided here at MAL and the small details I could learn elsewhere. I love an anime that involves the Japanese supernatural elements like youkai and people trying to protect each other (i.e. Noburu with Tohru in this case). The character designs looked pleasing as well. After watching, I have to report that Wagaya has failed in meeting my expectations. When it comes to plot and story, this anime just doesn't meet its hype. And while there are some redeeming features in terms of musical score and comedic elements, I will probably not be re-watching this anime any time soon.

Like I mentioned above, this anime fails miserably for most of the anime in storyline. The first episode leads t…

Wagaya no Oinari-sama is the tale of Noboru and Touru, two brothers who, unbeknownst to them, come from a long line of priests who use Water ki, or energy, to ward off and fight demons. Their mother’s side of the family, the Midori’s, imprisoned an astral fox hundreds of years ago, and the boys are forced to release this fox from it’s slumber in order to protect them from other demons after their lives. A small fact that is mentioned but not really capitalized on: It’s a transsexual mystical fox.
The series is 24 episodes long, and I honestly expected a much better resolution to this series with that many (or is it few?) episodes. The first few episodes seemed rush, in order to introduced Kuugen, the fox, and the boys and their family. An additional protector, a se…

I started watching Wagaya no Oinari-sama because it had a fox spirit character in it and after enjoying spice and wolf i was interested to see how this anime would turn out particularly because both were based on a series of Light novels. So on to the story. Wagaya no Oinari-sama follows the adventures of a fox spirit called Tenko who was sealed away for causing mischief. The grandma of a family of water clan descendants calls Tenko to look after two young boys who are the only children of this clan. Because traditionally only females inherit the powers of the clan and head the family the clan is in trouble and in need of someone to protect its two young airs who attract a lot of unwanted attention from all sorts of spirits, not all of them friendly!
The first episode left me with the imp…

Wagaya no Oinari-sama is a show I was very excited about seeing this year. And for the most part it didn’t let me down. It follows the fox spirit theme that seems to be so popular lately but has a number of interesting new ideas that make it fresh and interesting.
The premise of the story is that two brothers who are the children of the former water priestess whom their family has been involved with for many years are being targeted by other evil spirits and specters. In order to prevent anything from happening, a fox spirit named Kuugen takes on the task of protecting the boys along with the family’s sentinel Kou. The action starts off fast and the story starts moving along pretty fast and most early episodes revolve around various specters targeting the boys, mostly Tooru the youngest…

Wagaya no Oinari-sama is a Supernatural, Action, Comedy with a really typical set-up where some kind of spirit/supernatural being is forced to protect someone due to various circumstances. It’s a shame that the story is rather dull and full of lifeless misadventures.
It’s about two brothers who have just learnt about the Mizuchi Family, a lineage of Water ki users that they both are a part of and become aware that youkai (spirits/demons) are after one of them. So they have to awaken a fox deity in order to protect themselves. After the first episode the series goes for the very predictable option by having the fox deity (Kuugan) live with them along with another girl (Kou) to protect the Takagami brothers. From then the series is mostly episodic where they always indiscriminat…

This is a pretty mild series in my opinion. Although if they come up with a second season I might change my mind.
The idea for the fox spirit-guardian is interesting for the plot, I'd say that's about as original as it gets. But they could seriously have done more with it which didn't really happen. There are a couple filler episodes in there, some of which had this annoying sakura girl character just rambling on and on which I suppose was supposed to be some sort of comic relief =__=. Other than that, it just ended early so there isn't really all that much point to this series.
Overall, it's an alright series to watch, but at the same time leaves you with the impression that it lacks a lot of things.
