Kyokou Suiri

I think the problem that some people have with the show is how different it is from what was advertised. The previews portrayed In/spectre as a horror, when it is actually just a supernatural mystery show. But even if you wanted a horror, you can't help fall in love with the lead characters and the artwork. The female lead is energetic and fun, even though you expect her to serious and relaxed. There are so many other reasons why this show was so good.

Kyokou Suiri was extremely mediocre. The plot sounded interesting and I thought the Japanese folk lore would take a larger portion of plot, but the show tended to drag on one malicious yokai in something that should have been 1 or 2 episodes but ended up being 9. The music wasn't great either and I have nothing to say about the visuals. The personalities are one of the worst parts as there is very little depth and I feel as if an adjective was just given to each character as a personality. The character design was quite good on the main character and I wish there was more uniqueness to the other characters who came across as plain. Despite these drawbacks none of them were bad enough to lead to me not following through. Even though I was very critical of it, the experience was enjoyable enough for me to follow through. Unless you are interested in ghosts, yokai, etc. and can sit through a lot of dialogue this probably isn't the anime for you.

I think i just didn't like story style of what this show gave to me. i already read the synopsis and i expecting something good. like action, comedy. the comedy was good and the action was nicely animated. but, the comedy is rarely appeared on this show and action of the main character (Kuro Sakuragawa) was so lame. like come on man he can do it better he is already hundred years of living and still dont know how to fight. the girl officer (Saki Yumihara) is not like police officer at all, he is too coward for anything, how she was ended up being police officer if she is too coward and not brave. that character is so annoys me. 70% of this show is full of talking and that thing is made me bored.

This anime is quite good. At first I thought it would be boring to watch. But a friend of mine insisted on to watch it. So,I gave it a go and I found it enjoyable. Now a second season is coming soon. Really forward to watch.

The show was so poorly executed, despite a decent premise, that I STRUGGLED to even make it near the end of season 1. The main female protagonist trying to force herself upon the male interest was uncomfortable to watch, and there was so much redundant exposition, the show was not enjoyable to watch.

The show deserves its low ratings because regardless of presenting itself as a mystery/suspense, maybe even horror or action, it failed to deliver anything unique/special. The animation and art designs were good enough, but nothing that would be distinguishable from any other demon/yokai/spirit/curse, etc. Type of anime. Despite watching 9 1/2 episodes of the first season, I couldn't retain any entertainment or sense from the plot and had to drop it (this would have been okay to watch if I was expecting a slice-of-life where nothing happens but it was severely disappointing to expect a mystery for it to have pacing like a slice-of-life). The show started out with potential but quickly became dull. Terrible pacing and so much nonsensical dialogue where characters are narrating just to fill up screen time with information that did not make sense or matter for whatever plot was planned initially. It might be better reading the material but there was absolutely nothing noteworthy for the show.

None of the characters were likeable for me (maybe Steel Lady Nanase but I mean, TEN episodes focused on her when I was expecting more variety.) It shouldn't take about 4 hours to WATCH only that section about her. The last few episodes were Kotoko trying to come up with solutions for the same issue. Seriously, could we move on? If you want to waste 4-5+ hours of your life watching this, go for it. And there's a season 2 as well if there's nothing better for you to do and just want to use up pretty much half your day.
