Kanokon: The Girl Who Cried Fox
bjay_ang
I can't believe I'll be writing this anime as my first review... But here I go... What can I say about this anime: It truly is the borderline between Echi and Hentai... No seriously, among all Eechi shows, this would be rated the most eechiest show I have ever seen. So if you are the first time to watch Echi shows, better not watch this one first... About the story: Mythically... yet horrifically funny. Imagine Naruto 9 tail fox in sexy jutsu... That's where you get the female character. But this is just sexy all the way. The thing I'm not particularly like is the transformation. It is not Sailor moon-ish, but it is rather like wierd... However, you gotta love the characters: It is like a preschoolers about to have sex with a high school student... Even if that preschooler is actually a HIGH SCHOOL student!!! That is the funniest part. Drawing I would say pretty typical... But if you are a perverted type of guy with nonsense mind... You would love it. Just don't go nosebleed everytime you watch the show...

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 developed, because at least it doesn't pass itself off as something that's porn. Don't watch it and tell it as a horror story to children, like Krampus or something like that.

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.

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 this show is NOT for kids what so ever. You see breasts, panties, and other stuff through out the entire show that are not intended for kids. One of the main characters, Chizuru, is in love with Kouta. During the course of the show Chizuru does many perverted things to him. While he likes it, he always resists it because he thinks it's wrong. While Chizuru starts doing these things to Kouta, the other students at their school give Kouta the nickname "The Great Erotic King". That's just one of the many goofy/erotic things during the show. Another great thing that adds to the comedy was the writing. I thought the writing was very funny and entertaining. I laughed through out the show. Every single episode made me laugh. All and all, the show was very enjoyable. While it's super ecchi and fan service, I just thought it was very funny. The comedy of the show is what drew me in (and maybe the ecchi stuff :P). If you love ecchi/fan service stuff, you will probably love this series. And yes, this is better than 'To Love-RU' series.....Waiting for haters....

Kanokon, from all the reviews I've read everyone has nothing but low scores and bad thing to say about this particular anime. However, I am on the contrary. This anime is one that gave me the motivation to start my adventure in search to watch all romance animes. Okay lets start. Kouta a little country boy who lived with his grandfather but comes to the city. Right of the bat we get Chizuru the youkai fox who falls in love with him. I really liked this anime because it does the opposite of what most anime do today, which leads people to say things like "I'm tired of waiting the whole season just for the main characters to say "I like you" which is usually at the end of every anime and we never get to see what happens after that. Kanokon gets straight to the point and let her know she loves him. There is fan service but what anime does not have fan service. The only bad thing I shall say was wrong is that the main protag was being gay and not wanting to get with Chizuru. However, all anime are like that.

This is my first review for my anime list If this is part of your review I apologize there really is not much else I can say that people already said about this anime. This was one of the worst anime I have ever seen in my life, I can't believe I sat through this piece of crap twice; I wasted so much of my life watching this. Ok fan service is one thing but this anime is closer to hentai so it is a completely different thing. How to start this off Story: Since ecchis usually do not have a plot, I was not expecting much. Nevertheless, the plot of this anime was bad even for ecchis standards. If you want something better watch Omamori Himari, it is an ecchi also but is better overall in all categories. I will also go on record as saying that this anime did have some decent potential where they could probably use the fusion between Kohta and Chizuru to a much favorable thing where they fight villains. But no they had to muck it up by drowning the anime completely with useless, annoying, and indecent fan service. Seriously, I would rather watch Dragon Ball Evolution. It was a crappy movie, but at least it had a point and premise. This "anime" is as close to hentai as humanly possible. Sound: The OP is a pretty good song, I like Phosphor. I can't really pick on the sound much; I did not find any real problems. Art: There is only one thing I hate about the art; they made Kohta look like a 10 year old boy. I like the eyes, also the anime is very colorful, and it does not look depressing. Characters: Oh am I going to have fun with this. I am just focusing on the main characters, because too many of the supporting characters stink. Chizuru Minamoto: This character is a slut, she is so desperate to be screwed, and it is not even funny. According to the Wikipedia page it says that she like to dress erotically for Kohta, when they are alone. Not much I can say. She does have a personality which is more than I can say about other characters in this piece of crap series. I do have a feeling that she is a pedophile because of how she is with Kohta. The only cool thing that Chizuru does is merging with Kohta, because I do like the way he looks. Nozomu Ezomori: This character has no emotions or personality to think of. Like Chizuru, she is a very slutty character. She tries to find every opportunity to be with Kohta. For me she stoops to a new low by having Kohta drink the nine tail drink, an energy drink for yokai, where the side effect is the people drinking it fall in love with the other person, which makes Kohta fall in love with Nozomu. She is one of the many characters in the show who has no personality to their name. Kohta Oyamada: Oh, am I going to go to town with this one. First of all, I am going to go on record and say he is the worst protagonist I have ever seen in my life. I would not have had much of a problem with him if they would have drawn him out to be older. This child should grow some balls, and grow up. Also he should go down the halls of any middle school nowadays and see what the couples are doing. His grandpa is not with him so he should shut up about it and stop lingering on his past, it is so annoying. This guy (using that term loosely) is too childish to have these girls chasing him around.

Let me tell you guys first, this anime.. made my day! This show enlightened me so much. A little boy in high-school, encounters a very beautiful woman also in his high-school, the girl one day invites the boy to the music room after class, but what the boy doesn't know, is that he is going to get the surprise of his life. I definitely recommend this anime to any hardcore perverts out there who likes: Foxes, Boobs, Naked Women, and everything that a man wants in his anime!

Originally, I had never heard of Kanokon and would never have touched it, if not for the MAL recommendation system. Being in the mood for another slice of life romantic comedy, I quickly acquired the series for viewing. It's a nice short adaptation of the Light Novels of the same name. Despite the fanservice, Kanokon has some semblance of a plot. Here, we follow the [mis]adventures of little Kouta as he faces perils of many kinds. Now at first it seems quite episodic, something with meat in the episodes themselves with a little continuity from one to the next. Unfortunately, it trips up in the later episodes with the school siege which at that point seemed like the great place to end the anime ona good note, we get a few more episodes. Now the actual ending of the anime maintains the status quo and wraps up nicely, it competes with the earlier action packed battle at school and leaves me with a bad impression. The writers really should have known better, especially this being an adaptation. As far as the art goes, it does a great job at remaining inconsistent. The animations shift from mediocre to surprisingly good at key moments and usually during actions scenes as well. That's not to say the Kanokon is mediocre in its art. In fact, it does a fine job of nailing down the setting and characters (and the Gainaxing). It's just the way the animation shifts from time to time ticks me off. I really wished they could have kept up the standard throughout the series but I would understand if the producers could not due to various reasons. The sound is nothing special though. Most scenes are given adequate accompaniments. I emphasise on most scenes since I feel some scenes would be better off with another type of song in the background, particularly the penultimate fight at school. However, as far as sound effects go, they do go out of their way to emphasise whatever is happening on screen, so props to them. Finally, for our [arguably] beloved cast of characters, it seems only the Kouta and Chizuru seem to possess an adequate measure of development. A pity, since the supposed rival, Nozomu, seems akin to an accessory by comparison. It doesn't help that she's also an emotionless girl that is eerily resemblant of another quite famous quiet type I know just without the same level of depth. Of our supporting cast, we have some small going ons here and there, but some of them are quite random, revealed, resolved and/or unexplained until the very end or near it. That's passable because the focus seems to be on the main couple that is Kouta and Chizuru. Kouta has his moments, readily manning up to make it through the crises. Chizuru on the other hand, is just quite stubborn and as a sibling puts it, simple-minded. Though that doesn't stop her from her wholehearted devotion and leading poor little Kouta on. In the end though, the silliness of it all gives way to some measure of enjoyment. It could be the first time that Kouta and Chizuru show off some power, or it could the various fight scenes, or the Fanservice (with a capital F). Quite an enjoyable show, if you're looking for something nice and light without too much depth to it. However, if you have a tendency to nosebleed from anything risqué, or if you just don't need/like fanservice, or you're not in to little boys, you might want to sign this one off.

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 imagine, perverted or have the tendency of getting into a deprived situation, which is ecchi for you, but this anime stands out among similar titles today, with it's wonderfully crafted combination of FEELS. The personalities of the characters mix well together throughout the show and I suggest picking up where the anime leaves off with the manga series, since the anime doesn't entirely cover the story, but a good portion. The development of the characters are great. The people behind the animation of the manga did a good job at reflecting the personalities from the manga adaptation. As I've praised the music choices, the sound quality is perfect. The art of the show isn't the best, but for it's time, it was definitely near a 10. Story might not be for everyone, even those who enjoy these types of shows, however, based on my own enjoyment, even when I first watched it when I was younger, it deserves a 10/10 - it's stuck with me to this day, for many years. My opinion may be different to a lot, though. However, I am not the only person who holds Kanokon close to their heart, many do that have watched this show when they were younger, anime veterans still remember this title and if you bring it up to one, chances are they'll have only good words for it. Welcome to Kanokon.

1st time to write a review. Im sorry for what will i say, Im just saying what i think of the anime. The story is good, it does have great scenes. I also find the anime very funny. but.... the characters for me seems to be quite lame or weird. I mean why does the boy is shorter than the girl, it would look as if a 16yr old girl would be a couple with a 12yr old boy. First part for me is good, very funny. Middle part would get boring. Last part would get good again. Final conclusion: ecchi it is great and many scenes of it is funny. But other than that, nothing is great about it anymore.

This anime wasn't the greatest I've seen. Of course, to many people they liked it. This anime starts off in a horrible way for starters. The main character, Kouta is a bigger wuss then Tskune Aono from Rosario+Vampire. The main girl is far too annoying and extremely stubborn. She also gives herself away to Kouta all the time almost like a harlot. Oh yeah, her name is Chizuru. The other girl is named Nozomu and she's much nicer and laid back. She's a glutton when it comes to meat because, she's a wolf-spirit. She too wants Kouta to be with her but, Chizuru always thinks of Kouta as her property and abuses him while in the fierce "battles" between Chizuru and Nozomu. This anime is a definite YES to people who love ecchi and supernatural schoolgirls and if they can handle Chizuru's Meanness. Step away if you don't like any of these. Hope this helped.

I'll warn all those who don't like to watch Echi anime stay away of course then again you wouldn't be reading this to begin with. Anyways My Review, I Gave Kanokon a 5 for their story as you could tell from the lack of a plot to begin with that this anime was not meant to have a real story and instead was filled with fanservice. If you like animes with a plot your barking up the wrong tree. It seems to me the producers tried to pick up the pace with the story towards the end but it was all for naught as it didn't make a positive difference in my opinion. thats all I have to say about the story. The art i gave a 7 as most of the time they managed to keep the art together without completely going overbord and the way they depicted most of the scenes i found it quite amuseing. There wasn't much else to say about the art but it was all in all not the worst i've seen. For the sound i gave it a 6 i watched the english dub and the characters voices sounded ok but for the japanese i just didn't find Chizuru's voice right. Enough said. When it came to charater design and devolopement i gave it a 7 as the character designs looked fairly original to me although in character devolpoement it was just as i had suspected non existant in some cases while for others it was just to shallow and also as i said before this was more somebody way of putting their harem into a cartoon that actually putting a plot to some animations. For enjoyment an 8 because the jokes although not original fit into place when they were used. Also they manged to still make me laugh at watching it the second time through (which is rare) so it was given points for that i beleive many people will find that if your are perverted enough to get the umor you will enjoy the anime alot more. The overall raiting i gave kanokon was more like an average because all in all i think it was about a 7 not that bad not great but enjoyoble to watch. If you don't really like echi animes you probably shouldn't watch this as it is just that (a perverted anime) of course you probaly wouldn't still be reading this if you didn't like it.

While a short ride (12 episodes), it was very enjoyable. I think they may be making another season but, I'm not sure. I know there are 2 OVAs out now but, I don't think any of them are subbed yet.

"Oh hot damn," are the first words that will come out of your mouth when you see what this anime is about. This is an ecchi which provides that classic out-of-this-world nudity which occurs under the stupidest reasons, but if you're watching as an ecchi lover, this is the Picasso of ecchi. BUT, like I have said for so many other ecchi, remember that the somewhat favorable plot will disappear slowly, and only rear it's head every so often to introduce new characters. As for the ending...well...um...er..let's just say if you've seen an ecchi anime before, you probably know what kind of ending your in for. I give this an 8/10 because it was an ecchi that remained ecchiful and didn't strangle itself to death with a crappy plot.

this story may have just really hit the points in an anime that i really like. but i have to say this is one of my favorites of all time i liked the fantasy of it the romance and the crazy randomness that i am always looking for.

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 make a move on a girl or confess your feelings. All that shit. I'm not here to judge a guy for having a hard time with that. However, can you imagine being passive to such an extreme extent that you... Have a girl repeatedly tell you that she loves you, push your head into her boobs, kiss you, openly talk about wanting to do perverted things to you, repeatedly get naked around you and ask you to touch her, and do everything possible to show you her feelings and beg you to tell her how you feel about her. And you do in-fact like her yourself, but still find it "way too embarrassing" to tell her how you feel and whenever she starts grinding on you go like "omg stop, people are gonna see us!" Tell her to put her clothes back on if she gets naked and demand she change somewhere else. Watch her stand over you, naked, saying "I want my first time to be with you" and then covering up her pussy, then getting told "I want you to look" and screaming "you can't!" while crying like a little bitch. Kouta has got to be the biggest bitch MC to ever exist in anime. And actually end up hurting the girl's feelings with your inability to just throw her a goddamn bone and tell her you like her back. As I mentioned, I can be a bit passive and anxious myself but when a girl does make a move on me, I'm going to be sure to show my gratitude and be open to her advances. I felt really bad for Chizuru because she's literally a guy's dream girl and had to deal with this ridiculously annoying MC who, if I was in her position, I would've given up on a long time ago. But Chizuru herself is a very sweet and likable character and I did root for her to succeed so she bumped the overall rating of this anime up a little. Overall, I'd say this anime had a lot of glaring flaws. Chizuru's personality was the only major part of this that I liked.

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 of this anime based on your pov, the more boring and every disgusting is the one I see most people gave reviews on, but I think more hidden story is truly lovely, tho if I had not noticed it, I would not be write this review, try looking all the pov's of any anime you will fine things you would have missed. If you didn't like this anime or even if you did, try seeing the hidden pov.

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!

*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 color and it did have some parts that wouldn't be considered hentai, but do keep it under the close eye of ecchi. Sound - The voice actors did not do a bad job. Kouta's did sound a bit airy but I did like how innocent he sounded. I realize Nozomu's voice was meant to be a bit robotic (being she's a spirit and reminded me of another anime character), but I did not quite like it how stale it sounded. Character - The character's all had their unique personality traits... - Kouta was an embarrassed, and innocent short boy who didn't want to give in to his overall feelings for Chizuru. - Chizuru, who claimed she only felt for Kouta, would walk around the school feelin only the slight embarrassment in a scandalous outfit. She was very flirtatious. Nozomu - Was a very unknowing girl who acted like Julie Sigtuna from Absolute Duo. She did not know much of what the human race considered something and she seemed overall like that character. Enjoyment - I did enjoy this anime. It was happy at the end with Tayura and Akane, Kouta admitting his feelings, and it just felt refreshing after yelling at Kouta through the screen to just choose. I honestly did ship him with Chizuru, although at moments I shipped Chizuru and Nozomu... OVERALL: The thing that kept me going was how hot Saku was... That episode I missed him... He left and I was wondering if we would ever see him again. He was my favorite... I liked this anime... If you were wondering, but maybe it should choose a plot line and give them more character... Not just a flat character. ~ SweetMoko
