Synopsis
Seven years ago, Yuto Amakawa's parents died in a car accident, leaving him alone without any single relative. The only thing left in his hand is an Omamori (protective charm) given by his grandparents. Since then, Rinko Kuzaki, his childhood friend, has taken care of him by waking him up every morning and cook for him. In the day Yuto turned into 16, he met a cat spirit samurai girl demon huntress when he walked to school. Yuto turned out to be a descendant of a famous demon-hunter clan, the Amakawa family and the cat samurai, introduced herself as Himari, sworn to be his loyal bodyguard, protecting him from the assaults of Ayakashi (the demons). The only problem is, Yuto's allergic to cat. It turned out to be severe alllergic reaction whenever Himari reveals her cat ears. What will happen to Yuto next? The world he will be living in is just totally different from what he had until now as the power of the protective charm he wears diminish as the time goes on...
Strength:
Nice character design, especially Himari in the Light-Ferry-enchanted form in the last episode. The fan service is the "main weapon" for this anime, all of them are packed well and really entertain the audience along with the comedies. Nice battle depiction, especially at the beginning of the story.
Weakness:
Flaws in drawing, mainly the side-view of the characters. Near the end part, the story's kinda boring and the "acting" of the characters seems to be awkward, not to mention, the battle become really "flat". Incessant fan services sometimes ruin the plot. The main character is so lame in term of he is not expressive (as flat as that Sakai Yuuji...), making the fan services don't appear in maximum impact. There's no really nice theme song.
Screenshots:
Himari stab through an Ayakashi that control Yuto's friend and tried to attack him. This battle is cool for the first impression of the anime.
Himari injured herself in order to wipe out Shizuku's (the water demon) whirlpool (Yuto, die you for being so useless !). The idea of mixing blood with water to make Shizuku lost control of the water is one good idea in term of battle tactics and depiction. Not to mention, there's tentacle scene in this episode....
Hmmm, okay. You can find this scene a lot during the first episodes. As you can see, Yuto's allergic to cat, but Himari insists on sleeping in the same bad (Actually, throughout all of the episodes, Himari looks like she wants to copulate with him badly...), what a waste you are, damn Yuto...
