Premise: A fox girl, Yuzu, begins working at Konohanatei, an inn located in a village for spirits. She learns how to serve guests, which often include humans who wandered to the other side.

The Good: Konohana Kitan is a supernatural slice-of-life about fox girls running an inn. A lot of it is a comedy with Yuzu being cute and clumsy. Shed often have a goofy expression on her face with her diamond-shaped mouth hanging open (example: https://imgur.com/uvQgPf7). She tried her best no matter what, and she was definitely my favorite. Most of the episodes were stand-alone stories about the guests they had that day, and a lot of those were great too. Some involved supernatural beings there for work or comfort, others involved human spirits who often didnt even know where they were. Those stories managed to stay lighthearted while still packing a decent emotional punch, which is impressive. I liked the haunted doll one the best.

The Bad: Other than Yuzu, the rest of the main cast in Konohana Kitan is pretty basic. None of them are bad, but Ive seen so many different cute girls slice-of-life at this point and all of them were such standard archetypes. Theres the serious one who becomes Yuzus best friend, the tomboy one, the girly one thats gay for the tomboy none of them had anything I havent seen in several other anime. Konohana Kitan was among the first anime I ever saw, and it impressed me a lot then. When I rewatched it this year, it wasnt nearly as fresh, and its ranking fell as a result.

Overall: Konohana Kitan has a great main character in Yuzu and several great episodes. The supernatural aspect always added emotional weight while still managing to be a lighthearted tale about the guest and their reasons for being there. I thought the rest of the main cast were too standard, but that doesnt matter as much when theyre just playing a part in a nice story. As a slice-of-life anime, Konohana Kitan is still one of the better ones Ive seen.
