Also i love Komasan already, what a good dude! Seriously before i watched the series i expected komasan and jibanyan to be really generic pikachu esque mascots based on how they dominate the merchandise, but they actually have a lot of personality!

Jibanyan is a spoilt brat kind of cute and komasan is like…an actually adorable person? Like his personality isnt cutesy baby or anythibg he’s just like a teen or adult who happens to be incredibly kind. He is SO KIND! He’s just a very gentle dude!! He’s a relateable social anxiety man! He’s a responsible big brother!! He’s a guy i’d love to hang out with!

And i feel so bad for him that most of his jokes are just about him being an old style shrine yokai who’s never been to a city before, so he’s comically flustered by stuff that seems ordinary to us. Its kinda iffy how they decided to use real life social class as a metaphor for that, so he acts like a ‘country bumpkin’ and they keep making jokes about country accents and stuff. But the whole 'lol this lower class person who does important farming work thats the backbone of our entire country is somehow dumb for that’ joke is at least a bit less annoying when its through a billion layers of weird ghost dog metaphor.

But it did lead to a lot of very cute moments like him being too shy to step on the escalator, like HOLY SHIT the animation of a lil cartoon puppy dude doing the same anxiety things as me is somehow a million times cuter!

I WISH HIM THE BEST IN HIS SCARY NEW CITY LIFE AAAAAA

Srsly i cant believe i had such the wrong impression that he was some sort of generic personalityless mascot, i cant believe people were saying 'cinnamon roll’ in the same way as Thor from marvel! HE REALLY HAS A VERY SIMILAR PERSONALITY HOLY SHIT he’s social anxiety thorrrrrr

Oh but also seriously show, please stop with the weird sexual jokes. There’s this bit that comes out of nowhere where Komasan mistakes whisper for an icecream and they..animate whisper blushing and saying that being licked feels good. Can You Not
