Omamori Himari

A-A-A-AACHHIIIII

It was a long time since we last pos­ted and believe me, it was as pain­ful for us as it was for you. But now lick­ing the wound we shall turn back onto the rails with this post.

I was long sit­ting in front of the blank post screen, and pondered what to write about, because gods know — I wanted to write again. All the pretty anime of the sea­son seem to have all been men­tioned already, with Dur­arara, Baka to Test and Sora No Woto. I even already burned Dance in the Vam­pire Bund in a fire, and Ammy kicked Hid­den God’s ass. So, what am I going to post about? Oh, you will be sur­prised. Omamori Himari, the show nobody talks about.

Omamori Himari is a rather fanservice-centered anime about your typ­ical nor­mal high school lad who sud­denly turns out to be not so nor­mal as thought. A guard­ian spirit lit­er­ally jumps out of the blue to pro­tect him from sud­den demons’ attacks, him turn­ing out to be from an ancient demon slayer fam­ily. Now the cat aller­gic prot­ag­on­ist has to live with a curvy guard­ian spirit… with cat ears and a tail. Oh, the pre­dict­able irony.

I have seen many people dis­lik­ing it; there wasn’t a single per­son who liked it or at least, pub­licly told about that. Besides short blurbs, there wasn’t one single decent post on it. But being tar­geted at a male audi­ence, Omamori Himari is good — for this audi­ence only. That I like my man­li­ness being tar­geted aside, the gags are funny, and the plot is even a little inter­est­ing. And the rest’s then nice fanservice.

This is not com­par­able with the high­lights of the sea­son, and pretty pre­dict­able, but nev­er­the­less a nice time waste. If you haven’t yet, I’d recom­mend you try­ing it. I have pre­pared you for what to expect.
