Review of Omamori Himari

How should I describe Omamori Himari in a way that does not downplay it's worth of your time? Well if you like your anime to consist of at least three pathetic main characters who do nothing but bitch about how weak they are then you'll be fine. Then about 1/2 of the time watching you will see nothing but tits, panties, and more tits. Which isn't that bad if your looking for just that. It also has a decent but half-assed story line for those of you who wish to seek a half-assed enjoyable tale. STORY: 6 I'll be blunt. The story falls short of achievinga memorable tale and exciting adventure. There wasn't so much a problem to where the story was going but to where it DIDN'T GO. There were many questions left unanswered which only left me miffed. Like what concluded at the end. *SPOILER* Mɥʎ ʇɥǝ ɟnɔʞ ıs ┴ɐɯɐ ıu ⅄nnʇo,s ɥonsǝɥolp¿ ∀ɟʇǝɹ ɐll sɥǝ pıp ǝɐʇ ɐ sɥıʇ loɐp oɟ ɥǝɹ oʍu ʞıup ɟoɹ ɥǝɹ dǝɹsouɐl ƃɐıu˙ ∀up Hıɯɐɹı pıp qǝɐʇ ʇɥǝ lıʌıuƃ ɔɹɐd onʇ oɟ ɥǝɹ˙ I ʞuoʍ ſǝsns sɐʎs ɟoɹƃıʌǝuǝss ıs ɐ ʌıɹʇnǝ qnʇ ɔoɯǝ ou¡ Mɥɐʇ¿ ∀ɹǝ Hıɯɐɹı ɐup ⅄nnʇo ƃoıuƃ ʇo ʞǝǝd ɐ ɔɐuuıqɐlısʇıɔ uıuǝ-ʇɐıl ɟox ʍɥǝɹǝ ʇɥǝʎ slǝǝd¿ ∀lso ʍɥɐʇ ɥɐddǝuǝp ʇo ʇɥǝ ɯosʇ doʍǝɹɟnl ∀ʎɐʞɐsɥı¿ ∀ddɐɹǝuʇlʎ ʇɥǝɹǝ ɐɹǝ Ɛ oɟ ʇɥǝɯ˙ )┴ɐʎnʇɐɯɐ ɥɐs ʇɥǝ sɐɯǝ unɯqǝɹ˙ I ʍoupǝɹ ʍɥʎ¿( ┴ɥǝɹǝ,s ɾnsʇ so ɯnɔɥ ɔɹɐd ʇɥǝʎ lǝɟʇ onʇ ıʇ,s ǝuonƃɥ ʇo ɯɐʞǝ ɐ sǝɔoup sǝɐsou˙ Mıll ʇɥǝʎ¿ SHO∩˥p ʇɥǝʎ¿ I pou,ʇ ǝʌǝu ɔɐɹǝ ɐuʎɯoɹǝ ʎon pǝɔıpǝ ıɟ ʎon ʍɐuʇ ʇo ʍɐʇɔɥ ʇɥıs ɔɹɐd˙ ∀up ıɟ ʎon ɟlıddǝp ʎonɹ ɯouıʇoɹ ndsıpǝ poʍu ʇo ɹǝɐp ʇɥıs ʎonɹ ɹǝʇɐɹpǝp˙ *END OF SPOILER* (If you want to read the spoiler try Googling "upside down text".) Due to this glass being only half-way filled I found it quite similar to "Tayutama: Kiss on My Deity". Both have this issue of incompletion and both have their main protagonists seeking coexistence. However, I find that "Omamori Himari" did execute its story a lot better than its counterpart Tayutama. But it still failed to succeed where Tayutama also failed. And that was its useless characters and the unsatisfactory ending. Where it could have easily continued through a 2nd season and hopefully redeem itself through a well thought out conclusion. While there were many ecchi moments and romantic endeavors occurring everywhere in the story frequently, there was also a good portion of action involved which was very much welcomed. It could have been more gruesome and violent as it had a few scenes which seemed to beg for a violent outcome but this anime was aiming more for an ecchi/romance audience. Again, it could have done much worse than what other anime's who are KNOWN for gruesome scenes have done, *cough* Elfen Lied *cough* but the way it handled its plot it seemed to lean more towards Otaku's who love to see a Tig Ol' Bittied heroine.

ART: 8
I very much enjoyed the art of Omamori Himari. Not because I had a hard on most of the time since it showed so much tit and ass but because...OK so the tits and ass were drawn very erotically and nicely. To the point where I didn't care about the story anymore. All I cared about was "Are they...are they going to show me the nipples now or do I have to go watch a hentai?"

SOUND: 9
The music was OK and the sound of the characters fighting, arguing, etc is the same as any other anime and no different in anyway. TBH I don't even know why there is a sound section in reviews. Pretty much ALL anime's sound the same except for the voice actors, music, and special effects. And if the anime's do sound a bit off (or entirely) it probably is your speakers, download of the video, or streaming source. They should just name this section "Music" or "Actors" IMO. Speaking of actors Bleach's Orihime is in here and so is the voice of Makoto (School Days) as the main protagonist. And if your familiar with the voice of Nymph from "Heaven's Lost Property" and Erio from "Denpa Onna to Seishun Otoko" you'll probably :D. In addition to all of these underrated voice actresses/actors apparently Holo is our main heroine.

CHARACTER: 6
Hmm...don't know how to start this part out as the character list defines all of them almost perfectly. So I don't really see the point in addressing this part of the review. I guess I could only just review how they brought upon themselves the belief of them being an actual character that has worth in the show. You've got:

Himari: A VERY sexy feline Ayakashi who serves as the body guard of our main faggot obviously. She has real nice tits...and ass...and..FUCK! I've paid too much attention to the fan-service that I practically forgot how she is. Let me see if I can remember...hmm....DAMN YOU FAN-SERVICE!

Shizuku: Um...why does she remind me of Nozomu from Kanokon? (That anime was TERRIBLE by the way)

Yuuto Amakawa: This guy is a FAGGOT and a PUSSY. (Not the feline kind) THAT IS ALL.

Lizlet L "Liz" Chelsie: She basically is in the show purely for comedic relief and fan-service. Nothing about her is interesting...AT ALL...other than she's a fucking teacup lol.

Kuesu Jinguuji: I didn't even give a shit about this bitch. OK MOVING ON!

Rinko Kuzaki: This pathetic use of a script and character reminded me of Kazumi from Shakugan no Shana. (Who I deeply hate with a passion) You wanna know why? She's practically an EXACT REPLICA OF SAID BITCH. Almost everything about her (excluding her voice actress) is exactly like her! Especially her uselessness. I don't know why the developers even put her in the show. She just gets all pissed when Himari try's to get it on with the main faggot. (Just to let you know I shall refer to him as faggot as he is indeed a faggot) Everything else is just her trying to claim faggot as her own. And if you think I'm wrong about her being a clone GTFO right now and watch SNS and then tell me she doesn't look and have the talent of being useless just like Kazumi.

ENJOYMENT: 6
I did enjoy "Omamori Himari" I will not lie. It's got good ecchi moments if that's what your looking for but with a mix of some action and plot development as well. Although it wasted a lot of potential of being beyond a typical Action, Comedy, Demons, Ecchi, Romance, Harem, Supernatural anime it still manages to do just fine. Which suits its score perfectly. Its just a fine anime.

OVERALL: 6
If you like tits but no nipples, ass but not so much as the tits, and some plot and action development in between, then "Omamori Himari" just might be for you. Otherwise steer clear of this ecchi fest. And if your pissed that I wasted your time then blame yourself faggot. Your the one that decided to read a review than to go watch the damn anime in question. And this is just my personal opinion. That's what reviews are for! To let the ass who wastes their times writing these reviews express their ideas and feelings about the thing in question. Go ahead...click that "Not Helpful Button" I DARE YOU.
