Sewajaki kicune no Senko-san

For a lot of male viewers, I think that The Helpful Fox Senko-san would be a dream come true as the ideal woman. Which man would not want to be regularly spoiled by an adorably cute and understanding partner? Who would not be happy to come home and feel like they are able to survive almost anything? Plus, because of the last few minutes of each episode, you could try to put yourself in the main male protagonist’s shoes and be pampered at will (thanks to the first-person perspective camera view) by Senko and her friends. Plus, you are therefore probably going to be able to get Nakano's obsession with foxtails if you like soft furry things. However, I refused to let myself get carried away and so completely drunk on the magical and lovely atmosphere this time. Even though Senko was incredibly cute, her friend Shiro also had her own charms, and I thought it would be nice to be spoiled in this beautifully illustrated and colorful world, somehow that happy smile did not appear on my face, which would signify I was not finding it that enjoyable. What was stopping me from enjoying it more? I think it was perhaps the main male protagonist's excessive fascination with soft furry things because all I could think of when I heard the word “foxtail” was something about an ebonite rod being rubbed with a fox’s tail. Or perhaps it was that somehow it just seemed like it was mostly the same thing happening over and over again? Or perhaps the fact that I know that someone like Senko would probably never exist in real life had a negative effect on me? Whatever it is, I just cannot see myself awarding this show more than 6.2/10. (26/06/2019)
