Review of Omamori Himari
Story: 1/10 I'm not the biggest harem or fanservice fan, but I don't mind if they have a good story and likeable characters. But instead of a good plot with fanservice, it's fanservice with little plot. I knew all hope was lost when the generic fanservice beach episode was the second one. Then episode 3 was written around fanservice. 'How can we make Himari's breasts/panties show this time?". I wanted to give it a chance, it sounded interesting and for the most part ecchi doesn't bother me. I mean series like 11 eyes, for example, find ways to write fanservice into a scene, but in thisseries, they try to write a scene around fanservice. It's pointless! And the thing is, it even has potential to be a good story! Demon slayers, demons, magic powers etc. Sounds like it could be a good fantasy story, but alas no. They might as well have taken the clothes out completely and made it a hentai. And I've seen hentai with more story..
There are maybe 3 episodes out of 12 that relate to the "plot".
Character: 3/10
All of the villains tend to be large breasted females who also lust over the main character (and for what reason I don't know). The main male character barely looks a day over 12, yet is getting fondled and dry humped by a lot of women who look many years older than him (except one, who looks like an elementary school kid. She heals him by rubbing against him until she gets off). Of course he has his cliche annoying possessive female friend, and the the large busted bodyguard. However, I actually like Himari. She's pretty well rounded (and not just her chest). She's also a powerful cat demon that fights with a sword- what's not to like? She also shows the widest range of emotion. Really she's the only character worth mentioning.
Overall, unless you watch an anime for just breasts and pantyshots and no story, this is not one I'd recommend.
