Review of Tsugumomo
I don't usually make reviews for generic anime... like yeah, usually generic anime are quite bad, but this is quite different for some reason. there are generic anime that for some reason ends being quite better than your average generic anime. but why Tsugumomo? what does tsugumomo do better than others? at least SLIGHTLY better? Story 6/10: Aside from the generic setting of school and your typical beta male of harems, I dare to say that the "power source" of this anime is quite unique, or at least I haven't seen overpowered blankets of cleansing as something you could fight with. I don't know how torefer to the "evil" source of weird things happening around Kazuya. so I'll refer them as some sort of evil "youkai" or just evil spirits, poltergeist whatever. evil spirits that takes possession over objects, dark feelings, etc etc etc. and it manifests into whatever it possessed and takes control of it. there is an order of "Tsugumomo" users (or cleansers) they fight against evil spirits to cleanse them, also they can fight against other users, using... crystal dicks?
so you will see a 50/50 of Kazuya and her Obi cleansing evil spirits and having ecchi scenes, some of them are EXPLICIT as fuck, and yeah, for a show like this to be even MORE explicit than animes like Highschool DxD or Testament of Devil Sister, at least for me, this is a good thing to do rather than making sex jokes that ends on extreme blushing, but Tsugumomo does it on another level, it might not be shown visually (otherwise this would be a Hentai) yet I'm 100% sure of what I saw on a certain episode
Art 7/10:
Nothing really special, the Art is okay, there are some good looking action scenes (like the final fight) gladly you will spot some derpy faces in order to make some memes as reactions (I.E Kiriha Bursting of laughter face)
Sound 6/10:
Blue Satanya singing the "Flan Song", Kazuya being a crybaby, Kazuya having boners, these are some "features" of the sound department (all hail blue Satanya Flan Song)
That aside the Soundtrack is OK, nothing really outstanding, but good enough to sound on fights or comedic scenes
Character 6/10:
Generic Cast... yes but what does make Kazuya better than your average generic males on this kind of anime? take an example of the asshole Masamune of Eromanga-sensei, they aren't ashamed of how ero their light novels are, but he can't fucking decide which girl to choose, and we have Kazuya, who got laid by his entire harem on a explicit way. also he BREAKS the "I won't use you because I'll hurt you" or "I'm unable to do something if it ends hurting someone" cliché events that ends on the MC losing a fight.
I also like how this anime goes wild when it comes to ecchi/romance/explicit scenes, like, you won't get a cliché interruption on something like a kiss (in this case, something more explicit) if you see that "something" happened, it actually happened
Enjoyment 9/10:
I don't usually enjoy generic anime, but Tsugumomo does something about it, its funny, and when it goes wild, it manages to take me by surprise, specially when it comes to those explicit things I've been talking about. also all these stuff of Obi vs evil spirits is quite interesting overall, I'm not saying that this anime innovates something, but it does stuff that others generic anime don't (like for example why Rakudai Kishi no Cavalry succeeded more than Asterisk)
Overall 7/10:
a good catch if you want some comedy and "dirty time" ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) a wrong catch if you are looking for something different
