Ghost Sweeper Mikami · review
This had a fun set up and a great universe but no overall story arc. There were a couple places where things heat up but in the end nothing much changes. Mikami reminds me of Lina Inverse except even when things get serious Mikami is still focused on making money. She never seems to have that total transformation to actually caring. Anything that makes it through is very small. There are some interesting threads that never get followed up much. For example, Yokoshima seems to have some real spiritual power, but nothing much happens with it. There is also a very slowly developing romantic thing betweenYokoshima and Okinu. It would have been great to make more progress on this. The other characters that show up from time to time are interesting as well but I find myself wishing they had more development.
There are some pretty funny moments though. This show makes great use of long pauses for comedy and some pretty crazy distortions of character model for Yokoshima's legendary pervyness. Worth watching when you want some 90s-ish comedy no-commitment fun.
