Review of Tsugumomo

This is an unusual one. First, it can be quite perverted. Characters end up in very weird/awkward situations. It is something half-way between comedy jokes of To Love Ru, and blunt humor of something like prison school... actually it is quite hard to describe it properly. It is as if it tried to use bluntest lewd jokes without making situation look "sexy". I'd say it is quite clsoe to the kind of humor used in "Kyou no 5 no 2". Second, for some strange reason it has very high quality animation in fight scenes and fairly amazing music. The fights- and there are fights - canput some of shounen titles to shame. Animation in fights is extremely fluid and well done, and music complements the fights really well.

So, there you have it.

Story: 6/10:

Acutlaly a somewhat interesting premise and an unusual one. There's continuous character development through it, so it isn't some sort of silly "collect all romantic partners" anime. Character goes through period of growth, gradually improves, new characters are introduced... it is interesting.

Art: 6/10:
The art is close to the standard modern art (triangular faces and stuff), but the animation is really well done. Basically, it looks somewhat simple, but does not look low budget, and it is surprisingly well animated.

Sound: 7/10:
The battle theme is really well done and very pwoerful. It is something that is worth of being in a very well done fighting game, like blazblue. Heavy and powerful. Perhaps not as powerful as the main t heme of first ajin, or as cheerful tracks of "monster musume to iru nichijou"... but it is definitely about average as far as anime tracks go.

Character: 5/10:
They're amusing, have some sort of personality and aren't carton cutouts, but it is hard to say much about them. They're story devices first and character seconds. So they behave according to their role, and pick behaviors that would be most comedic.... so you'd end up seeing them less as characters and more like comedy elements.

Enjoyment: 6/10:
It is oddly perverted, but once you get over it, it has interesting moments, and surprisingly good fighting scenes and music. Long story short, there's much worse anime out of there.

Overall: 6/10:
Overall, it is worth a watch, but you need to have a very high tolerance to lewd and ecchi jokes. Basically, if you laughed at "Kyou no 5 no 2" and saw "To Love Ru" and liked it, you'll probably like this title. It isn't really ecchi, but the jokes can be quite perverted.

So... interesting work, but definitely not for everybody.
