Review of Omamori Himari

I remember when I first read the manga to this. I enjoyed every bit and the first signs that I would equally enjoy the anime appeared when I found myself smiling at the list of winter 2009 new releases. About just another high schooler living his life up until his demon repellent charm expires, making him vulnerable to demons, youkais, and monsters alike. Why are these demons after him? He's from a family of demon slayers and the rest goes along without much relevance to what's really important in the anime. We have the childhood friend, starting off at square one of this harem. Then a demoncat guardian (Himari of course) appears to save him from his first demon attack. Shizuku gets dragged in after witnessing Yuuto's compassion for innocent demons. Lizlet sticks along after Yuuto "saves her life". And another childhood friend, apparently long lost, a demon slayer like Yuuto and my favorite of them all Kuesu Junguji.

It's a harem anime, what's there to expect? Loads of boobage and underwear scenes of course. Being cat themed, we also get a bit of neko ears in the mix as well.

The plot isn't that much important. I say the most interesting thing was Himari's quest to earn a mouth to mouth kiss with Yuuto with I enjoyed watching.

Although I wish it would've been longer and a bit more closer to the manga (for the benefit of the plot) I am very much satisfied with the 12 eps I received and hope with all my heart we get a little more content out of this.

One thing that stuck out to me was the music. BEAM My BEAM (ED theme) was the best ending theme I've heard in a long time. Possibly the best out of the winter 2009 - Spring 2010 anime EDs. Same for the OP as well. I loved all the songs.

If I could wish for anything more of this anime. I would ask for Character albums with at least 2 songs for each character as well as a different version of the OP and ED themes.

tl;dr: It's good, watch it before you start your next series in line.
