"The main character was helped when he was wounded lying on the ground in woods. When he woke up, he didn’t remember who he was. Furthermore, he had a mask that he couldn’t put off. By favor of the people in the village, who had animal ears and tails by the way, he began to live in the village.

Ho... This sounds interesting. The trailer is lacking seeders, so I guess it's all the same to download the first episode and use it as a promo instead...

Amnesia is hardly original in any work nowadays, but the rest of the short description is much more intriguing.

[Ryllharu]

I liked the first eps. The feel of it reminded me of all the parts I liked about Scrapped Princess, with more of a fantasy twist. The general feel of it is very nice, and the OP showed a fair amount of action, so we should have some of that to look forward to.

I find this a lot more interesting than Soul Link, so I will probably follow this rather than that.

[Kraco]

Damn, I was totally positively surprised by this series! It didn't take but a minute from the beginning of the episode, and I knew this was a series worth watching. The main character seems likable fellow, suitably sociable yet still mysterious. He seems strong enough not to be a pusover (damn I have watched too much harem anime lately). And the other cast looks very fine as well. Nothing much can't be said about the plot at this point, but I think I will wait for the best, not the worst right now. And yes, I can understand Ryllharu's reference to Scrapped Princess, as well.

This was the funniest parts of the episode (well, this show isn't a comedy so I'm not really evaluating the level of comedy in the scenes):

It certainly won't make any sense if you haven't watched the episode, though.

First episode was pretty damn good. Looks to have plenty of potential. I like the setting alot, especially with the minor deity in the village and all of that stuff.

Character designs: I've never been a fan of catgirls and all that, so I'm not wild about the designs here. So far the 'tail and ears' have only been utilized to show one kind of reaction/emotion, which hints they're mostly for show... let's hope that's not true.

There had better be some explanation given for why some people have certain kinds of ears and tails and why others have different kinds...

Gosh that Eruru girl seems a little young to be at the center of a love interest with a grown man, doesn't she? Then again, by standards from times when shrines were built to local gods and with the indicated low-level of technology she'd actually be at the usual age for getting married (and pregnant), but you don't often see that being portrayed in anime...

lol, was trying to figure out where I'd heard the main character's voice before... it was so fresh in my mind, but it wasn't a voice that I could recall from any particular role... Turns out it's the same VA who does Norbu who just appeared in e7! First time hearing the guy, big roles in two episodes on the same day!

Ino from Naruto is the same as Eruru, another surprise. This one sounds soo much younger! But now that i know it i can sorta hear the similarities.

That lumberjack's wife's "Oyaoya! -My my-" was so familiar too! Turns out she's Satsuki Yukino!

[Ryllharu]

On the subject of seiyuus, Eruru's also voices none other than Haruka from Mai Hime/Otome. If you're familiar with Magical Lyrical Nanoha A's, she also does Shamal, which sounds identical to this role.

[aznroyale]

i been waiting for this seris too

[Knives122]

Even though I wasn't really planning on watching this show, I think I may now. I need a good animal person show with dinosaurs and Ronin Warrior like tigers.

May just give up archiving Kiba if this show gets better

[aznroyale]

first eps wasnt that bad, great storyline for me

[IFHTT]

Haha Kraco that part was indeed quite humorous. This seems like a pretty interesting story. I guess I'll add it to my list, provided the next couple of eps are anything like this one.

Episode 2:

[chobits1217]

hmm this series is quite interesting,
from the op, i thought they would have the girl taming the beast in episode 2, but instead they give her a new born beast and killed the mother, that was interesting~

yeah i thought so too that, they would capture the mother and train her

it's the perfect plan: kill the homicidal tiger, and steal it's baby and train it to not kill you.

Genius!!!

[masamuneehs]

episode 2 wasn't as good as the first, but I still found it pretty damn good.

It seems that this show is going to be rather mild with the violence. Show's the bloody corpses, the blood on the beast's mouth, but there was zero blood/gore shown spurting out. Teoro's axe blow was pretty nasty, and the OP has blood, but this episode leads me to think that this show won't be very graphic with the violence.

Music was pretty crappy. I like the interaction between the characters and it's nice to see a protagonist using his head rather than relying solely on some secret hidden power (which i still think he has)

Yesy seems to be doing a good job of translation. I'm sticking with them.

[Yukimura]

I grabbed this on a whim, and I'm impressed. Storyline looks very promising, this show seems capable of branching into lots of good plots from here, I hope it's something new and different, though i'm not really fed up with the same old same old quite yet, hehe.

The Tiger dying and leaving a cub suprised me, I figured the little girl would tame it too. I hope there aren't too many crazy repercussions for killing the 'Forest God' on our quaint little village, but then of course there will be.

[IFHTT]

Wow, I am really liking this series as well. I am going to keep watching it. As Yukimura stated there is a lot of potential in the story, and something different. The whole ending scene with everyone content with the way things happened and then the tiger cub yawning was kind of lame but other than that I had no complaints about this episode.

It is nice also as Masa pointed out to have a character that can use inductive reasoning to solve the problem rather than just relying on a special power of sorts, at least from what we can tell thus far. I think there is some obvious relation of the main character to Eruruu and Aruruu's father.

[bagandscalpel]

First things first, I picked up the series after seeing a .gif of the Eruru tail grab scene. Fortunately, I was well rewarded.

Perhaps I'm a sucker for fantasy anime, but this particular series leaves a pretty good taste in my mouth for now. And, for some reason, based off the scenes in the opening, I believe that the show will evolve into a medieval war-style anime with the army of the protagonists going against the evil pig-persons among others. And adding to that, the main character just screams "tactician" to me (must be the iron fan), something I rarely see. Well, this is all wild speculation, but thinking upon this makes me want to play Fire Emblem...

[Harima Kenji]

I watched the first 2 episodes and I like what I've seen so far.
It may be the setting or something, but this series made me think about 'Berserk'...can't really think why I do, though..
And I smiled when I heard 'Kaname Chidori' shout.. Satsuki Yukino rules Having her in the cast is a very big plus for me.

[Mr Squiggles]

This series doesn't look too bad so far, although the title can be a bit of a mouthfull

I'm guessing we'll have a time skip sometime soon where the kitty will have time to grow to be the one in the intro and the main character will have fully intergrated himself into the village and then something from his past will show up to mess everything up or something...
