Hidden in an old ink painting is the "Looking-Glass City" of Kyoto, where demons and humans live together and anything broken is instantly fixed. Created by Myoue, a Buddhist monk with the power to bring drawings to life, and his lover Koto, a black rabbit given human form by a kindly bodhisattva, the city is now ruled by their three adopted children: the secretive temple priest Kurama, the aristocratic yet childish demon Yase, and Myoue's lazy, womanizing successor Yakushimaru, who have grown estranged and jaded awaiting their parents' return. One day, a schoolgirl from another world, also named Koto, appears in the city with her "brothers", A and Un, to search for the black rabbit—who she believes is also her long-lost mother.Kyousogiga is an original net animation written by Izumi Todo (a collective pseudonym for the staff of Toei Animation, who are also the minds behind Ojamajo Doremi and the Pretty Cure franchise) and produced by Toei Animation with the collaboration of Banpresto which debuted on December 2011 on Nico Nico Douga. From September to December 2012, five additional shorts were released which expanded the setting and characters. After it garnered sufficient attention, a TV series was greenlit for the Fall 2013 anime season. The original ONA series was adapted as a two-volume manga serialized in Dengeki Maoh from February 2012 to March 2013. Another manga adaptation following the TV series was serialized from November 2013 to March 2014 issues.The series contains a lot of Buddhist imagery along with Alice Allusion motifs, with sprinkles of Shinto here and there.It was licensed for North American release by Discotek Media in 2016. | |

Dissonant Serenity: The original Myoe was serene when he came home while covered in blood and carrying Yakushimaru's corpse. When Yakushimaru comes back to life and is angry at this, Myoe cheerfully tells him that he has to get used to it. This is later extended when he returns to Mirror Kyoto as Inari and he doesn't seem to mind how much grief he caused his family. | |

Dysfunction Junction: The three siblings have their own problems after their parents left and each of them have their own reasons for wanting them to return: Kurama wants to see the outside world though he's forbidden by his dad because he's not human. Though he did enjoy Mirror Kyoto, he still wants to see the outside world and this time, his dad decided to help. Sadly, he left and Kurama self-appointed himself as the leader of the Council of Three with the growing desire to go outside. Yase is very close to her mother and keeps a lot of sentimental items from her childhood after she left. Then, Kurama tossed Yase's favorite doll during the station opening which devastated her. Yakushimaru lost his biological parents but somehow was saved by the original Myoe. After the original Myoe and Lady Koto left, he becomes bitter of their departure, particularly his foster dad, and desires to die once Koto finds the black rabbit. | |

Wham Episode: Though episode 7 is sort of heartwarming, particularly with Lady Koto's return; the last minutes show the city's impending destruction and it's all caused by Koto. Episode 9 just got depressing when it turns out that Inari actually knew that Koto would go to Mirror Kyoto as part of his plan and forced her to destroy the rest of the city by stabbing her with his sword. | |

Prophecy Twist | |
Kyousogiga / int_bb5126ec | comment |
Prophecy Twist: On the day the original Myoe entrusts young Yakushimaru with his rosary, he reassures him that one day he'll return "along with the beginning and the end". Years later, Koto arrives in Mirror Kyoto with her familiars A and Un, whose names translate to "beginning" and "end". Also, Lady Koto seals herself away because she fears her presence will eventually lead to the destruction of the Mirror Capital. However, it turns out that it's her daughter Koto that sets off the chain of events leading to the Mirror Capital's destruction. | |

Get A Hold Of Yourself Man: Myoe had done this twice to Koto, when the latter blames herself for starting the destruction of Mirror Kyoto and when she got out of control of herself and started destroying the city. When Koto lost control of herself and started destroying Mirror Kyoto, Myoe is about to give up until Kurama slaps him and urges him to live for himself. | |

Not Blood Siblings | |
Kyousogiga / int_e68d9ddd | comment |
Not Blood Siblings: While they treat and refer to each other as siblings, A and Un aren't actually related to Koto. The same goes for Kurama, Yakushimaru, and Yase, who aren't blood-related to each other or Koto, who they believe is their sister. Although it may be that Yakushimaru and Koto are in fact blood-related in a fashion. The original Myoe gave Yakushimaru a strand of green, DNA-shaped power before he left, and after that Yakushimaru grew up to look just like original Myoe even though Yakushimaru was adopted. There's also a green DNA helix background to Koto and Yakushimaru's last scene in the OP. | |
