Its last episode looked like Wagaya no Oinari-sama had put an end to the whole Reverse Circle, but this apparently important item returns to the fore once again immediately, with some owl-like god trying to snatch it from Mubyou, before choosing to visit the Takagamis for their help once this fails.What follows is pretty much what counts as normal fare for this show, with its rinse and repeat mix and humour, searching around town for someone or something, and action. Indeed, in this case the action segment seems almost entirely forced, based around little more than Kuu's impatience, although at least it does offer us an interesting little twist to close the episode.This episode does also give us the benefit of seeing Kuu use both of her human forms, and thus her masculine and feminine charms to their fullest extent, and a brief glimpse of Kou drunk is possibly worth the entrance fee too. Sakura also gets some screen (and fan service) time, but not as much as it probably worthy of probably the most enjoyable character in this series thus far.Wagaya no Oinari-sama certainly seems determined to largely stick to the formula that it has set out for itself, and I suppose it does at least lend a level of consistency to this series, although sadly that only succeeds in making something consistently average. I suppose at least the show doesn't take itself too seriously, and it has some certain likeable qualities about it, but beyond offering up just about enough entertainment to fill twenty minutes or so, there isn't a great to deal to recommend it.
