Kouta has girl troubles of the supernatural sort. For some reason, he keeps attracting the attention (and affections) of animal spirits!
Having spent most of his life in the country, Kouta is understandably nervous when he moves in with his grandma to attend a high school in the big city. He hoped to make a good impression, but having Chizuru, a beautiful fox spirit, hanging off his arm didn't seem to be the sort of image he wanted to have. She's not alone in her love for Kouta, either. Nozomu, a wolf spirit, as well as other youkai have their sights set on the hapless country boy.

Kanokon never gave me a boring moment to think about why I am watching this. First off, this is a "love it, or hate it" anime. Those who can withstand the ecchiness will love it, else they'll find it very annoying or to some extend even disgusting (repulsive is the word I am getting at...). It is plainly obvious that the anime is targeting the MALE audience. Yes girls, this anime is NOT FOR YOU! With that in mind, we'll proceed with the review. This is perhaps THE closest anime to hentai you can ever find (well, lets just say it is at least on parto the well know fan service friendly Ikkitousen series). The ecchiness of Kanokon is beyond imagination! Though the rating states "Mild Nudity", I think it is more appropriate for it to say "Heavy Nudity" (especially after watching episode 7).
Story:
For a 12 episode long anime, the story is bit on the slow side at the beginning. Though I understand that some episodes were needed for character development. It is nice on one hand that the producer managed to wrap things up with various couples in the show, but there were still mysteries left unresolved. The most notable one is the mystery behind the young girl with the teddy bear. Perhaps they will cover that in the manga (if it’s not already been covered), or perhaps there’ll be a 2nd season for Kanokon, we’ll wait and see.
Artwork:
The artwork was a bit weird for me at first (mainly the eyes and the cheeks…they look really “cartoon-ish”), but after getting used to it, the animation quality is actually quite nice.
Others:
Nothing particular to comment on regarding the sound (though the opening is quite good for the show). Characters are all very lively (though not always in a believable way).
Overall:
Overall, the anime is very very enjoyable if you are planning on watching ecchi anime to begin with. But for those who are in fact intending to watch hentai, then you might be disappointed (well perhaps you can try the DVD specials, those are known for intense fan service).
Lastly, I would like to praise the director for doing a job well done. He has so cleverly made an anime just bordering the 17+/18+ line. I can’t imagine watching this on prime time anime channels here in my country.
Skadi
I really feel like I need a shower and a delousing after watching this show. Kanokon manages to be one of the most perverted and in many ways disturbing things I have ever watched. It’s fortunate that it was short, because I doubt that I could have finished it had it been any longer. Kanokon basically doesn’t have a story. A weak an uninteresting boy starts his year at a new high school where he is inexplicably besieged by hot girls. Standard echii anime fare here. The problem is nothing interesting ever happens. Kouta tries to avoid the affections ofall the girls throwing themselves at him and the girls just keep trying, getting more and more outrageous as the series unfolds. There is some comedy to be found though. Kanokon does have its moments, if you can suspend your disbelief over Kouta and his lack of manliness. The interactions between Chizuru and all her rivals for his affections are pretty funny. Though after a while even this becomes less funny after you see the same joke for the tenth time.
The thing that bothered me the most however was the characters. Well one in particular.. Kouta. Why are all these girls throwing themselves at a weak, boring, underdeveloped boy who looks like he should be entering the 3rd grade instead of being in High School. High School? Really? Seeing this boy get molested episode after episode made me want to call the police more than it made me laugh. Chizuru and Nozomu are really the only highlights of the show from a character aspect. They are the only ones who are genuinely funny or even slightly interesting. However the fox/wolf spirit aspect of the pair are never properly developed and seem to have been added solely to bridge the time in between Kouta's next molestation.
Visually Kanokon looks great. Despite Chizuru's gravity defying measurements she is still pretty adorable as are the other girls. Again Kouta takes points away because of the way he looks. The voice acting is really good and it does save the series in some respects. Though not even one of my favorites Mamiko Noto could make me like Kouta. The music is also very strong.
If you are a diehard harem fan and love fan service, loli's, fox-spirits, hentai, and huge breasts smothering small children this is your show! Anyone else should preserve the IQ points you will lose watching it.
Dragon_Empress
Holy crap, it's finally over! The anime of my dreadful loathing! This anime was just so bad, I HAD to write a review on it. Kanokon was obviously made with horny sex craving boys as its audience. You want fanservice? It has fanservice. You want naked chicks? This anime has it. In fact, this anime goes over-the-top borderline with its sexual innuendos, activities and visual eye candy. The main character, Kouta, is stalked by two girls, both being what men usually crave. The ready-and-willing big-breasted pretty girl, and the ready-and-willing breast-less loli character. Both want sex from him, and will do anything to doit. To sum it up, this anime is probably the closest you'll get to a hentai without it actually being a hentai.
Story
The story was mediocre, at best. I loved the whole 'demons and spirits mingle with the humans', thing, but that's about where it ended. The arc with the little loli-girl and her Nue partner was the closest this series got to an actual plot, and was probably the only part of the series I really enjoyed, since it mildly turned away from the ecchi to focus on action and combat. The fact that two girls follow and want to bed one boy who looks like he should be in grade-school was enough to turn me off. I'm a girl, and I love my shota, but this is just unbelievably unrealistic to a very fine degree.
Art
This is where the anime really shines. The art is undeniably some of the best in the anime released this spring, and I probably won't forget the beauty of Kanokon's style anytime soon. To be honest, it was probably the art that made me stick with and endure the show to the last episode. Even I have to admit that the animation remained smooth throughout the entire series. Maybe when animating the males it fell slightly, but when doesn't that happen when you're watching an ecchi or harem anime? The Art would have gotten a perfect 10 if it wasn't for my lingering thoughts that the animation was made like this solely to tune up the ecchi.
Sound
Not really much to say here. The only really great point of the sound is the voice-acting. Of course, to most that's the whole deal right? I don't really remember the music that much, so that goes to show that it wasn't all too good in my opinion. Yeah.... this is all I can really say about the sound.
Character
The characters were decent enough. I didn't really like the fact that poor little Kouta's called 'the ero-king' by all the girls and is put down by that, even though it wasn't his fault. Of course, that seems to be the fate of all boys in harem and ecchi animes. Even if a face-plant into the nearest rack was an accident, it's ALWAYS the boy's fault. Poor, poor boys. There were only three characters that succeeded in putting a smile on my face whenever they were onscreen. And that's Tayura, and the twins Ai and Ren.
Enjoyment
Is it over yeeeet?
This anime had me checking my player's episode length to see how much longer I had to suffer through another episode of boobs, sex and girls that want sex. I was so bored through most of the episodes I would pause about every eight minutes to go see what was happening elsewhere on the net. Yes. It was THAT good.
Overall
Overall? Don't watch it unless you're a boy that gets off on this kind of stuff. Or a girl that can tolerate this anime that greatly degrades women.

First of all, hide this anime from anyone you live with. Unless they like hentai too. Yes indeed, this is THE closest thing to hentai you will probably ever see in an anime. It's nuts. But what's underneath all the fanservice, you ask? Well, a mediocre storyline, I'm sorry to say. This anime focuses all it's energy on the fanserivce (like the manga does, so no surprise there). Let's jump right in. STORY: 6/10 It's really not that inventive; the whole story feels like a setup so that Kouta can get into ecchi situations. Two spirit girls start liking him, a bunch of random crap happens. No realmovement of the story, but what can you expect...
ART: 6/10
The whole anime I was extremely annoyed at how young Kouta looks. That's like 10 years old, man! OH well... besides that, the eye styles for the anime were new and kinda cool for a change. The rest was just mediocre
CHARACTER: 7/10
Nothing special, nothing at all in fact. You never really see what Kouta thinks about anything else, same goes for the other characters. I would've liked to see more of the principal, that guy cracked me up. Besides that, everyones mind is filled with 75% fanserice...
ENJOYMENT: ~8/10
This one really depends on who watches it. If you enjoy fanservice, then 10/10. If you hate it, then realize this anime is fanserice, and walk away now. that would give this a 3/10. This combined with some actually genuinely funny moments are what make up Kanokon. I actually laughed out loud at some parts, but if you're only looking for comedy, you'll have to brave the storm of fanservice or walk away. I would suggest the latter. For me, however, this was an enjoyable series.
OVERALL: 8/10
I almost always take enjoyment to be the main influence of my overall, because it should be. This anime is not about a good story, or well developed characters. It's essentially about fanservice, and although that was enjoyable at the time, it really wears off, to be honest. I walked away from Kenshin thinking "YES, now THAT was a true anime!" I walked away from Kanokon tihnking "why didnt I spend this time to rewatch the first 12 episodes of Kenshin?" At the time it was enjoyable, though, so give it a try if you like fanservice.
Livira
Omg, this has got to be the worst anime I have ever had the misfortune to stubbornly watch all the way through .___.; I finished it when the last episode was subbed, but I've only just thought about writing a review. Also I'm tired today, so please bear with me guys ;3 Story Story? HAH. There pretty much is no story. Kanokon's story is none existant. It's just about how the overly-horny-for-a-little-shouta-boy Chizuru trys to get Kouta, the boy, to have sex with her. Right at the beginning there was certain potential involving the fight scenes and the concept of Chizuru being a fox deity, but nothing wasever played out into anything deeper than "oh look, she has a tail every now and then." Seriously, the writers seemed to completely forget about the supposed main story line and just had fun writing this almost-hentai script. This series is as close to hentai as you'll ever get without watching hentai itself.
It's aimed for guys who get off on seeing chunky chicks like Chizuru take all her clothes off at any given oppotunity.
Animation
Nothing special here. The very few fight scenes that were shown were fairly average, Chizuru looked like she was covered in oil all the time because she was so damn shiny, and the characters' eyes were drawn funny. Not to my taste really, but then again it wasn't dreadful.
Sound
The only reason why I gave the series a 2 rather than a 1 overall was because of the music. It was absolutely beautiful, totally what I enjoy and it fitted rather well with the series as both songs were about love and physically wanting someone. Especially the ending song, sung by Sakakibara Yui. It was so upbeat in the chorus and really made me want to dance XD;
Character
What can I say about them that's positive? Nothing. They were boring, standard, flat, 2D, recycled and had no depth. They were there to show panties and get naked and nothing more. Boring as hell.
Nozomu made me laugh at the beginning, but then she got boring. She was only there to make Chizuru want to cling onto Kouta even more. And Kouta himself, he was such a drippy little thing. Even though he obviously didn't want to do those kinds of things with Chizuru he never actually tried to stop her because he was too much of a weakling. Seriously, he really pissed me off.
The only highlight was the twins, but they were barely shown. If they had been in it more, then my rating would have gone up to around a 4.
Enjoyment
I did not enjoy this series one bit. I only watched it right the way through to the end because I really wanted to say "hey look, I put up with it" and also because I hate dropping series. And I guess I'm stubborn too ^^; never again will I watch a series as dreadful and brainlessly ecchi as this.
Overall
Only watch it if you want some hardcore ecchi that is on the brink of hentai. Otherwise, miss it.
If you loved this series then I'm sorry that our views don't mix. But I really truly hated this pile of rubbish. :)
Yeah~ hate the review if you want. But deep down, you know I'm only telling the truth ;3
EXEs
Now, I read a bit of the manga before watching it, was alright. Then, I saw advertisments for the anime in magazines, and damn, it caught my eye. So when the subs came out, I downloaded them every week, watched them, and this is what I thought about it. Story: There wasn't really much of a story, as this anime was quite the slice-of-life anime. Every episode was basically Chizuru and Nozomu trying to seduce and get into the pants of the main character, Kouta. There was a fair bit of comedy, but not gut-bustingly funny. Drama around the last few episodes were very meh, itdidn't really have much effect. Every episode, I'll admit, was repetitive, but the action definitely made up for it, as I will explain below.
Art: Oh damn, out of all the ecchi animes I've watch, this one has the best art, especially the characters. Tons and tons of bare skin, to the point where people blogging the show asked if this was a soft-core hentai. The bodies, especially Chizuru, were drawn oh-so-well, really showing her figure well. The other characters were also drawn well, the animation was solid, and it made use of lots of different colours and settings effectively.
Sound: Voice acting was good, but I hated Kouta's voice. This boy must have no balls, because he has the highest pitched voice in the anime, and it got DAMN ANNOYING after a few episodes.
Characters: Very cliche. Kouta is the typical useless/ball-less harem lead, and I didn't like him much, due to him always trying and avoid Chizuru's advances. Chizuru was the big breasted, main character loving female character, always trying to seduce him, but I never got the impression that she was slutty much. Maybe determined is a good word. Nozomu is the silent loli also wanting to get into Kouta's pants, and she was boring to watch. I thought that the side characters were more interesting than the main characters to watch, especially Tayura and Asahina.
Enjoyment: This is where the anime shines. Hordes and hordes of wonderful, life giving, bloodloss-inducing, bouncy ecchiness. I loved it, this show was intended to be eye candy, and it performed very well. Hell, the ecchiness alone is enough to warrant rewatching the series, and I do plan to do that sometime.
Overall: It was a very fun ride watching Kanokon every week, it was interesting enough to keep you watching it, it had more than enough action to get your blood rushing, and it was generally enjoyable to watch. Definitely one of the better ecchi/harem animes out there, and if you aren't the type to analyse every bit of the plot, characters and logic of animes, you will like this.

Today I'm going to be reviewing this anime because it absolutely has to be the worst series I've watched Story: There really isn't much story going on The only "story" I see is this big breasted fox deity trying to get with this pathetic male loli character I felt like I was watching a hentai Art: The art is just generic The skin was too shiny Sometimes it looked like the characters didn't have nosesSound:
Sound was the only decent thing about this series The OP and ED were alright
Character:
No character development in this series
Girls don't even act this gross in reality
Chizuru:
For someone that's supposedly 400 years old you would think she'd be more mature
But she's just annoying and is just begging to get into this kid's pants
I don't understand what she sees in him
Kouta:
He's one of the most disgusting male leads He looks like an 8 year old
There's nothing attractive about him
He acts like he tries to hold back but he still ends up doing sexual things with Chizuru
I for one find it disgusting when he licks Chizuru's *ss
Nozomu:
Also begging to get in Kouta's pants
She clearly has no respect for herself just like Chizuru
She even tried to have a 3 way with them
The other characters didn't have much purpose so I won't get into them
Enjoyment:
There really isn't any
I forced my way through this series
This is more aimed at the male audience
Overall I give it a 1 I'd give it less but I can't

Hello boys and girls, I've looked through several "so-so" and "outright trash" kind of reviews and I feel it's necessary to say a word in defense of Kanokon. Because I think that it's a masterpiece in it's niche. Ok, everybody open your eyes now. It's E C C H I (full stop). The essense of it. And all the rest just doesn't matter. No main male character - don't care (actually he is, but Kouta is as good as no main character). No plot - it's irrelevant. If you complain that Kanokon is missing some (or all) of those element - you are right. But don't forget that ecchi (as any other genre)rarely walks alone. You might have grown used to ecchi + romance or something else.
And Kanokon is just ecchi that conquers all.
Kanokon is walking on the very thin ledge: between ecchi and hentai (yep, 18+ strict!). And I found Kanokon to be even better than hentai (just like striptease is better than just boringly naked woman).
12 episodes are just fine - it stops even before it could get boring.
Concerning perversions (and necessity to be a pervert to watch this anime): my dear folks, you'd better watch Disney ;)
Finally, love it or just turn it off (as with any other anime) ^ _ ^
angelsreview
Oh god, When I first heard of this show, I thought that it would be different. Why did I even think it was going to be different? The characters are perverted, and act strangely odd. The story goes way to fast, bringing up more questions then answers. All the story is becomes a love triangle with a short little kid in the middle of it. This is pretty much Hentai without the sex. It’s messed up and would be much better if they just used the sex in order to have a more interesting story line. AND THERE IS NO ENDING! It gives us a ‘readthe manga’ ending that always pisses me off. If I wanted to read the manga, I would of done so already or read it instead of watching the anime.
Chizuru is a really interesting girl who is really hangs onto Kouta all the time. She is extremely pushy and keeps wanting him to go out with her. All this teasing really pushes him from her all the time. It also seems that all the time, she ends up trying to sleep with him. When she shows that she’s a fox, he actually for some reason doesn’t care much. Then we have the problem with him falling in love with her slightly. There is also the fact that he and her end up becoming one whenever they kiss and she wants to be with him. Nozomu doesn’t seem to have much personality in the beginning but and always seems to act like a love rival.
Characters rarely have any personality out of just a standard archy types with not much of a story behind how they act. The characters are all 2 Dimensional.
Now, the show actually got better as it went on, and around the 4th episode, it actually got a lot better artwork and the voices weren’t as stale. It feels like they got into the show more. Not only that but I believe it was the 5th episode where my favorite character was introduced. To bad he only stayed for one episode though. I really liked Saku Ezomori.
The music in the beginning is pretty standard as well as the animation. It pretty much has a loneliness walking style to it and showing the characters. And then somehow, the main character turning into a ‘fox boy’ for some strange reason. The animation is really butt ugly in many aspects for the background characters, making them lose much detail. The main characters may be detailed in a sense but the personality is really bland.
The voices… dear god the voices… They messed them all up. Chizuru is really high voiced and can probably hurt my ears. Kouta sounds like a little child, not like he would be in the same grade as all the other characters. The script is a bit choppy and again really doesn’t explain much. Sometimes the script is delivered without much feeling. Also some of the lip sinks are bad, they don’t work right.

If Kanokon was real life, we'd live in a world of inverse sexual attraction. Meek little men that look like they'd lose in an armwrestle with a hamster would be getting all the attention from strong overconfident women. I shit you not, the "male lead" here squeals like a weasel and apologises to his deceased grandfather every time girls try to initiate sexual contact with him. I've never been so fucking rustled in my entire life. The plot... there isn't any. Just one weak boy that was probably manufactured with a flaccid dick and a horde of one dimensional nymphos. They force themselves on him,he starts looking like a rotten tomato and runs away screaming some shit about his grandfather and how immoral sexual activities are. Rinse and repeat - whole 12 episodes. I had to light up a joint and pretend he's just playing hard to get to avoid slamming my monitor against the wall every time he went full retard.
The art was decent however and I imagine this would be the only reason why anyone in their right mind would ever want to watch this perversion of natural selection - ecchi fanservice. There are nicely animated tits and asses in every episode for your viewing pleasure but if that's all you're looking for... just look up hentai. Saves you the headache of wading through this apocalyptic disaster of a "plot".
The sound & OST were horrid at best. The male lead sounds like a castrated chipmunk with guilt issues and the females squirt over his skinny pale ass like he's mandingo. The music will make your ears bleed and the OP & ED themes like the ones here have been confirmed to be the cause of erectile dysfunction in young men across the world.
Enjoyment - there is none. This shit will infuriate any man or woman. It doesn't matter what you believe or where you hail from - this anime is a rape of the natural balance of nature we observe everyday.
Wasted best bud to try to get through this. I'm being extremely lenient when I give this steaming turd 2 points only on the merit of good art.
Saintly
B is for bouncing O is for "out there" O is for outlandish B is for bosoms S is for "seriously?" Boobs. Bothered yet? Boobies, melons, bosoms, fun-bags, playthings, tits, breasts. Still not bothered? Well, you have passed the "Kanokon" test, my friend. Welcome to a magical anime, filled with boobs, boobs, and, yet, more boobs. The way the story begins sets the tone for the rest of the story. Not in the way that they continue to develop it, more like they let you know that it's there, basically causing all the drama in the series, but let "mini-arcs", spanning an episode or two, act as the story forthe show.
As you could imagine - it's predictable. And, oddly enough, it was a nice predictable. I was never, EVER, bored watching "Kanokon" and I don't think you should be either. Unless you didn't pass my Kanokon test.
To me, it's not really a harem as much as it is a borderline hentai/rom/com. There's one other girl, but she seems like a third-wheel. You know from the get-go that she won't win our hero's heart and the other, more "main" heroine will likely come out on top. However, each mini-arc is enough to keep me entertained, and the base arc of her being a fox deity keeps up the quickfire pace (as it should be) of this 12-episode-long anime. 7/10.
The art, well... it acted like a double-edged sword. On the one hand, you have fabulously drawn characters and their movements are captured flawlessly. On the other hand, you have a hero who acts and looks like he could be a 10-year-old girl. I don't want my hero who's involved in a HAREM to be a 10-year-old girl. Coy and shy is okay to an extent, but when you put his animated character and personality together you really get an immature hero that's hard to root for, hard to identify with, and too childish. 6/10.
Sound is sound. I found this anime's sound to be a nice, refreshing change of pace from the constant yelling in "Seto no Hayame". The voice actors are good; that ten-year-old girl lookalike hero just bugged the hell out of me and his voice definitely matched his small presence and stature. 7/10.
Like I've stated above, I had a big problem with our hero being the hero. That said, the rest of the cast was good and solid. I wished that I would've seen a little more of the wolf deity woman (the name slips my mind at the moment) and that her involvement with the main character was more substantial. The supporting cast is variously funny and witty dialog is interjected here-and-there by the likes; a solid batch of characters.
You know, I enjoyed this anime a lot more than I thought I would. Coming into this I knew I was going to be bombarded with hentai-esque images and ecchi moments everywhere, but that really gave the show its own, specific, identity. "I am 'basically a soft-core porn show and so what?'"
If the anime that I watch has comes to terms with what it IS, instead of catering to something that it is NOT, I will enjoy it much more thoroughly than an anime that seems to be "faking". (Pun intended.) 8/10.
Overall, I think the 1-10 options and word classifcations pretty much nail this one of the head: "Good". Nothing spectacular, nothing revolutionary. Just some good ol' ecchi/harem/rom/com fun that's a fun time to watch and let your mind drift elsewhere - probably under the chair. 7/10.
AMVP
Before I begin, I'd like to say something for the record. I have no idea what you want from me when you ask me to rank a show's "sound". If I can hear it, that's fine by me, and a show's audio would have to be truely horrid for me to say anything against it. Now, on to Kanokon. First off, the sound is utterly fantastic ; P Seriously though, apart from having a nice rhythmic title, there's little to say for this show other than the obvious. The character designs are attractive (aesthetically as well as... well, you know), and it's just as well that theoverall animation is shiny and crisp. The animators do love them some still shots, though, as the viewer takes a trip down memory lain to the sights of immobile children, forever on their way to school. And if you think the male protagonist's eyes are unsettlingly large, then join the club.
Otherwise, the show is every bit as contrived as it has a rite to be... arguably more so. It's your standard "fling with otherworldly beings" excuse for some good oldfashioned fanservice, with some particularly stunning kiss scenes, courtesy of the aformentioned animation. The show suffers from the same affliction as all those that came before it: all the relaxed campiness is eventually bogged down by pointless drama. Not to give anything away, but there's pretty much nobody in this show who wants the two main characters to get together, or at least is willing to let them do so without a fight. I understand that true love must overcome obstacles, but this is a show about fox spirits hitting on prepubescent high schoolers; the realism ship has already sailed, you can stop swimming after it.
In short, the episodes where the focus is on silly romps and startling degrees of fanservice tease (seriously, not an episode goes by where you "think" you saw something) are the best, because they most successfully attain a certain aspect that Kanokon is striving for. The drama bits are bearable at best (if only because they lead back around to said silly romps and fanservice) and frustrating at worst (more so than said false starts in gratuity). It's not bad by any means, but don't expect any sort of satisfying narrative out of this show (it's only 12 episodes long, for pete's sake! Minami-ke managed 13 easy, and it had less plot than a shoe). Kanokon is the chocolate Easter bunny of anime: sweet and cute on the outside but inevitably hollow (and there's more where that came from as I'm sure you already know).
Also, having just read back over this, I'd like to apologize for my rampant use of parenthesis. I promise I'll work on that.
Thaiberium
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, ittrips 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.

"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. Igive this an 8/10 because it was an ecchi that remained ecchiful and didn't strangle itself to death with a crappy plot.

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'saffections.
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. h.
. 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. 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.

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.

I won't lie to you, I watched this primarily for the ecchi scenes and fanservice. So, did I get what I wanted? I read some people's comments and reviews about Kanokon being borderline hentai, with lots of nudity, so I was intrigued. Well... can't say I was satisfied. First, expect most of the ecchi harem stereotypes here. We have a main character who's pretty bland, and has two hot chicks throwing themselves at his feet. Does he react? No, of course not. He's constantly embarrassed by them shoving their boobs in his face. Additionally, the two chicks are yokais - one has fox powers, and the otherone has wolf powers.
There are also a few side characters, but most of them were forgettable. The only side characters I liked were the redhead twins. Some of the scenes with them reminded me of classic Looney Tunes cartoons. There were also some one-time characters (mostly villains), and they were above average.
The art is okay but nothing special. Same goes for the sound.
So, what I wanted to see most here were ecchi scenes and nudity. Okay, to be fair, there were many ecchi scenes, boob grabbing and playing, panty shots etc. But the actual nudity was, in my opinion, scarce.
Oh, and the ending was bland and anti-climactic, too.
So, this anime is really nothing special. Watch it if you like ecchi, teasing, boob play, and other standard ecchi stuff. But if you're looking for a deeper story, character development and something more than just two yokai chicks obsessing over a clueless main characters, avoid Kanokon.

This anime was so bad it actually cured my depression knowing I had no involvement in it's creation whatsoever, unfortunately it then put me into a deeper depression when I realised I was so bored I was willing to sit through this entire show. there isn't anything redeeming about this anime in any capacity accept for maybe getting drunk and laughing at how bad it is. There was no real substance to the show unless you like the heavy amounts of fanservice but a that point you might as well watcha hentai. At least with something like highschool dxd you can occasionally see a fightscene or something and yes that is how low I've sunk that this anime can allow me to praise highschool dxd.
Overall there just isn't really anything positive to say about a show that was treat with less care than the female cast of Naruto
