Ok, I think this roughly means "Himari the Bodyguard", not sure though, don't care.
12 episodes.
You guys may think that I only review stuff I like, well, that's not the case. Every now and then I watch something, hoping it'll get better, only for it to end within 11 or 12 episodes, and being a complete waste of time.
I had read a bit of the Omamori Himari, but couldn't get into it, "Whatever, I remember it being funny, I'll watch a bit of it".
So, what can I say. It's a harem anime, and probably one of the dumbest I've ever seen. Now, to clear things up a bit, I don't think the manga was quite as dumb, but basically the anime was just solid fan service, and retarded "I believe in you, so you'll just somehow kill the demon monster who's a million times stronger than you. And if you die I'll just wish you back with the Dragon Balls!"-ness. I digress...
This series is about a wimpy looser guy in the lineage of the most powerful demon slayer clans of ancient times. As cliché would have it, his parents died in a traffic accident and he lives on his own, occasionally checked in on by his long-time childhood friend, who happens to be a cute girl with straight A's and athletic talent. Go figure.
Ok, so she clearly likes this looser for no reason. But, for whatever reason, demons (who are also cute, mega-stacked, girls) keep showing up at his house to live with him. One of them is his bodyguard who watched over him as a cat, but now watches him over as a supermodel. Then there's his fiancé from another demon-slaying clan, some other demons he "saves" instead of killing.... you get the picture.
Anyway, it's totally retarded and dumb. He, of course, can only activate his super-powerful ability when one of the girls harem-ing with him are in danger, so basically most of the show revolves around cutsey mega-stacked girls dancing around and getting frustrated with each other. Then there's some stupid "I believe in you! you're not a killer!" BS all over the place and whatnot.
Eventually they have to fight and defeat Shuten-Douji and the Kyubi. For those of you who don't know, that would be the Demon King, and the most powerful demon Japan has. I'm not sure if Orochi counts... but I think even Orochi was subject to Shuten-Douji... Anyway.... Yeah, they somehow beat them with zero talent, zero effort, and zero anything enjoyable.
Japan and I watch a lot of the same TV shows, and we both like an ample bosom, but in this case it couldn't save the show. Don't watch it.
3/10 (If it weren't for the "stacking" it would have gotten 1)
12 episodes.
