With plenty of streaming opportunities out there previously, Funimation is giving the Inari Kon Kon series another home video release. This stripped down Essentials line edition is priced at $29.98 and is a Blu-ray-only edition that comes with the eleven episode run. The show is in its original Japanese language only as no dub as produced but the set includes the same extras with the Pub Fox Theater Episodes 1-9, Commercial Collection, Promotional Video, Textless Songs, U.S. Trailer.
The series is based on the 2010 manga series of the same name by Morohe Yoshida. The manga series is the first full ongoing title from the creator after doing the Star Ocean 2 Second Evolution adaptation. The series was directed by Toru Takahashi, who has largely done just episode direction and storyboards over the years. Of note, he was an episode director on ten episodes of Revolutionary Girl Utena and did some work on Azumanga Daioh as well. The series was adapted and scripted by Touko Machida who has a very extensive list of credits across numerous shows from Karneval to Lucky Star and some Sayuki material. The animation is being done by Production IMS, marking this as their first full on production after assisting on Fantasista Doll and Mushibugyo.
Plot concept:Inari has a big crush on the cutest guy in school. Too bad she’s not so smooth with the dudes. But after saving an injured fox at a local shrine, her luck changes for the better when a beautiful goddess grants her the power to shapeshift!
