Inukami!

Episode 1 by Himitsu

http://anime-himitsu.edwardk.info/bi...5D.avi.torrent


"It is based on the novel with the same title.
Kawahira Keita was a descendant of historic Inugami(*) tamer family. However, because he lacked in its ability, he was forsaken by the family. One day, an Inugami named Yoko came. She looked graceful, obedient, above all, beautiful. Soon he contracted with her, and she paid homage to him. However, she was a problematic Inugami that no one had been able to control.

This is a slap stick comedy of an Inugami Tamer, Keita and an Inugami, Yoko. Keita is a man of worldly passions, and he likes money and girls very much. On the other hand, Yoko likes to destroy things and very jealous.

(*) In this novel, Inugami is a sacred being. It contracts with a human with power to help him exterminate evil monsters."

Episode 1 - Anime-Himitsu

But I have to say the original web site of this series is one princess dream with its design and style... I wonder what kind of series lurks behind it.

Sorry, I'm currently drunk.

Episode 2:

I had totally forgotten about this series, hopefully I'll give it a try tomorrow or something, anyone given it a shot yet?

It certainly sounds interesting, and as I'm currently watching so many other animes, it can't hurt to pick up one more... so... downloading first episode now =)

I'm DL'ing right now, for the lack of other things to do/watch.

Up to episode 4 has been released. I'm liking this series, it's pretty fun. Characters are quite good, the animation is great, and it has a couple of funny scenes.

Wondering if anyone has given this a try yet... I think it's pretty good for what it is.

Episode 5:
http://anime-himitsu.edwardk.info/bi...5D.avi.torrent

Mendoi and Himitsu are both subbing and have gotten to episode 8 so far. Their translations are both pretty good.

so far, I'd say the series is interesting in that it's well-drawn and has a generally cute (if slightly ... umm ... strange) storyline.

But Youko's constant "Shukichi!" is starting to get a bit old. Every damned time she gets even slightly annoyed, "oops, you're outside, and your clothes are still here".

This is a lot like the last thing I saw Mendoi sub: Amaenaideyo. It's unapologetic about its utter perversity, which only serves to make it a little but funnier. But it's quickly degrading into the same formulaic patterns. And ... what's up with the cat?

I get the feeling that it's going to follow the Amaenaideyo pattern to completion, though -- that by the end of it, the female leads will be in a slightly happier position, and the male lead will have learned absolutely nothing and be exactly the same as he was before.

TBH, I'd be pretty happy with the show if Keita ends up appreciating Youko, and Youko stops getting Keita arrested for exposure. It'd be a nice change of pace.

Now that you mentioned it, Complich8, I realise I've been fearing the same thing for a while now. With 10 episodes watched, it seems that a change should start to surface soon if ever. The Shukichi spell is seriously starting to annoy me as well, in a matter of fact started already a while ago. It has the element of being funny the first few times, but after the novelty factor is gone, it just feels unfair and wasteful, considering all the potential.

Aye, I seriously hope this won't end up similar to Amaenaideyo, because I really have liked this series. Even if the first episode promised too much of Keita's fighting spirit (against Youko). Lately he's just been receiving everything like a divine punishment, just like Ikkou in Amaenaideyo. That just sucks and doesn't create a trace of equality (respect between the characters). Not to mention I can't fight too much fun in an otherwise fine main character losing the fight in every damn episode.

Despite the overabundance of activity in this thread, I won't feel intimidated, but instead I will post some episode updates here, should somebody spot this thread and become interested.

The latest:

Episode 11 - Mendoi

Older ones (up from where Bud posted, although from a different subber):

Episode 6 - Mendoi
Episode 7 - Mendoi
Episode 8 - Mendoi
Episode 9 - Mendoi
Episode 10 - Mendoi

After a somewhat long wait, a double release:

Episode 12 - Mendoi
Episode 13 - Mendoi

I was starting to wonder if there was ever going to be a release this month.

It's nice, however, that it was a double release, as those two episodes formed a continous arc. They were some of the best episodes so far, even the (obligatory) shukichi and exposure managed to be funny this time. And of course Youko's real form revealed wasn't a bad detail either. Although the end of the fight left me with an impression that Youko could have kicked the shinigami's ass all by herself, and Keita's whole brave fight was nothing but something necessary for his self-respect.

Yeah, that form was pretty nice but something tells me we wont see it again until towards the end of the story.

Finally caught up, but I think Youko needed to see Keita getting his ass kicked. If it wasn''t for that, she would've still been under the control of the shinigami's fear spell.

I think Keita's bit of fighting had more of an effect than just provoking Youko. I think they did real damage to that Shinigami -- he was staggered at least, lost his glasses, and I think a lot of his offensive power and a lot of his composure was lost in the process. He still would have kicked Keita's ass if it were a one-on-one fight, but ... that was a given anyway.

Give the man some credit though! If nothing else he came up with a good strategy :p.

Just (well... last week) found out about this show. And I caught up. Personally, I was pleasantly surprised. especially with the last two (or three eps... since it had that bunny!). What's Kaoru about anyways?
