The characters and their designs are what is going to sell this show. All the girls are cute and unique with their individual quirks and personalities. To address the elephant in the room, this is an ecchi series and not for the pearl clutching morals proctors. Yes all the things that you find icky and problematic and mysogynistic about anime are present. But if that's the kind of series you want then this won't disappoint. My big grip is towards the end the comedy takes a backseat for the plot to advance, and that feels off. But other than that it's fine. I highly recommend watching it just to anger specific kinds of people.

7/10
Omamori Himari has a lot of potential but is painfully average. What starts out as a lighthearted urban fantasy about a boy facing the supernatural (with perhaps an endearing romance) ends up as a hot mess. Whether it’s the lack of story structure, the absence of character growth, or the fact it teases a serious story yet chooses to waste so much screentime on fanservice, its easy to be bored and irritated.
There’s nothing wrong with raunchy hijinks. The problem is Omamori Himari doesn’t commit to what genre it wants to be. The setup promises some sort of conflict but by the end we have yet to scratch the surface on what that is. The abundance of filler also prevents any meaningful interactions between characters. To make matters worse, our hero Yuuto is stripped of any agency. He b…

Summary: Genres: Ecchi, Battle Harem, School, Supernatural Fantasy, Urban Fantasy / Episodes: 12 / Seasons: 1 / Studio: Zexcs / Year: 2010 / Recommended: No, though Himari is a decent waifu.
Mini Review:
[ Visuals ] [ 5 / 10 ]
>>>>>Omamori looks like a show of its era, with decent production quality overall. Unfortunately the show is dragged down by generally lacking direction; shot composition is fairly boring and action scenes were consistently below average. The last arc of the anime had particularly disappointing fights that had no flow to them whatsoever. Fairly typical of the battle harem genre, and without enough ecchi to pad the fall.
>>>>>Rosario Vampire’s overemphasis on pantsu, but better animated; that’s likely the best way to describe the ecchi elements in Omamori Himari. M…

Pretty good anime, I like it except the main character he is too naive virgin and very unrealistic personality (yeah I know it's fictional).
The heroine, the ecchi part, the joke definitely good.
9/10 execution for the anime itself.
•The visuals;
Colouring: was bit too old (yeah I know it's from 20's) but very nice I like it 8/10. Frame to frame: amazing job by the team & company thank you very much for your hard work for making great anime 9/10.
•Music, OST & BGM definitely catchy, successfully drives the audience emotions 9/10.
• The story, plot etc : just normal or averages, personally I don't really like it 6/10.
Watching old anime really makes me nostalgic, I love the sensations about it.
I hope this review wasn't gonna removed by admin because I did in the past and I beg a…

I found this one during my weird harem binge of 2015 and 16 where I found the most obscure titles known to man kind. This anime was fucking great I love this series so much. The plot is pretty much Demon Slayer if it actually had a good interesting story with elements of the InuYasha series. The MC is a descendent of this group of demon hunters called the Amakawa and is protected by the coolest fucking body guard named Himari, a cat girl with a samurai sword. The side characters are pretty cool as well, a loli water bender, pretty much female Gaara, and a witch. There's also the childhood friend of the MC but shes kind of annoying. The animation is so smooth for early 2010 and holds up to this day. The opening and ending songs are so fucking goated. The voice work is great and it had a dec…

Gonna go with (7,78) for my full ratings.
To be honest, this anime has unclear pacing and plot execution. The characterizations can be said to be unstable and annoying. What I enjoy in this anime, to be honest, is only the fanservice hahahahahaaa..At least this anime has the advantage from the waifuable characters.
For old anime, the visuals that are served can be said to be good, but basically they are average.The quality of the songs and the voice actors can be said to be the aspect that I enjoy the most in this anime. The voice actors in this anime feel really good, especially when they sing the ending song of this anime. To be honest, the opening and ending songs of this anime lift this anime because the songs are so beautiful. good.

This anime was my “gateway” in 2012, this year I discovered the “world of anime” and discovered what is “ecchi” and your pleasueres lmao...
after watching this anime, i discover other animes animes ecchi, i understand that at the time what i was looking for was a "hentai" but i didn't know about that (at the time) start my journey in this world hoping to find an ecchi that would satisfy me. For ME "Omamori Himari" is my first anime with 12 Ep's I have good and bad memories with this anime, and in 2020 I got a tattoo representing my memories and my love for this anime.
Yeah, i have a tattoo of anime and the score overall is 7, yeah, is about that.

Another RTLR coming right for your eyes! This time we're dealing with a show that just basically hits the checkboxes for the harem/echhi/supernatural lists, and skips away, happy in it's ability to be perfectly average. The short of it is there is some amusement to be had here, but it's very vanilla. Not a waste of time, but there are other series that do all those thing with much more vigor. Will the RTLR wall of allergies get modified? Or is Emma Frost's position still secure? Let's drop it like its hot!
Story: 6
As I said, this is very much your average harem show. The main character (MC) possesses a very powerful technique that the demons fear and that the other slayer families wish to have. This power is not one he can use of free will, of course, and only activates in extremely dang…

Decent Ecchi/harem/action anime with plenty of fan-service, but if you're like me and dislike weak MC's I would probably pass on this show. The main character belongs to the group of MC's that instead of helping people when they're getting beat up just yells their name over and over again. The story is decent for the genre, and the characters are fairly well developed. Only complaints are that the art seems kinda meh, the animation isn't super great like a lot of pre-2015 shows, and its hard to find online above 360p quality. Although I think overall it's an alright show, there are definitely a lot of similar shows that are better. I'd only watch this if you have nothing better or don't really care about a show having a very engaging story.

This is a pretty solid romcom action anime. The cast of characters was interesting, and most of the main characters got solid character development, with the only real exception I feel being Rinko who feels somewhat out of place at times. The central theme of co-existence between humans and non human entities, in this case mostly Ayakashi, is something that's pretty overused, but it was still used effectively here, wherein it didn't spend as much time on discussing the theme itself, rather it stood as something that Yuuto simply believed in and the actual implementation of the theme was more so in regards to how that effected his relationship with other characters. The plot started out somewhat slowly when it was simply introducing characters with a really light hearted tone, but by the ti…

I drew a wrong stick..so i have to review this..Damn it
So the story is about a boy from the 12 legendary demon hunter clans but he doesnt know it.A cat-woman(+1) gets to be his guardian and as the anime goes on this damn boy gets a harem..my god im jealous.This anime also has heavy fanservice(dont let your children watch it) so older people might enjoy(themeselves huehue).
Characters are mostly huge breasted..or at least big(except1) and the main character is the clicheic weak MC who grows stronger.
Sounds are pretty good so i wont pick on them..they were decent.
The art was good...you know that i mean here.So i wont descrive it any further
I enjoyed it and i do recomed it if you can stand all the *ahems*...
It wasnt that bad,it was quite decent and also has fight scenes(watching for…

This is my second review so hopefully I can do it good. I will try to leave spoilers out.
Omamori Himari is your typical harem/ecchi anime, Amakawa Yuuto graces us with his MCness and has your typical background. Parents are dead, memories with a girl when he was younger and living alone and having someone take care of him everyday. Honestly this whole anime screamed clicheness and boy did it not disappoint with the harem/ecchi tags. There are so many boobs and pantyshots, its beyond ridiculous.
Story 7/10
The story started off strong but for me kinda started dropping near the middle. This story revolves around Yuuto but Himari is the one that takes center stage most of the time. Himari is an Ayakashi or a demon and she is bound by contract to protect Yuuto untill he becomes a demon slay…

If you are looking for an anime with an extremely good story and a strong main male character, leave this very second, this anime has none of those things. If you like bouncing boobs and a hot main female 'exposing herself' in front of our main male, then your in for a treat.
Story:7
The story wasn't bad compared to shows like Kanokon and some other shows that have completely no story and are episodic anime. Rosario to Vampire just barely pulled it off, so I was glad when this anime had an actual story. That doesn't mean they pulled it off perfectly. Guess they just plainly should have had more experience. But it is still an enjoyable story.
Art:10
This art is simply amazing. Simply amazing. Blew me away as the great design and the immense detail immerse you in the storyline, at the very…

This is my first review about an anime
Story 7/10
A story about a guy named Amakawa Yuuto who wants to live a normal life, then a girl named Himari who is an Ayakashi and also a cat comes into his life. As the story keep going, more Ayakashi are introduced. The ending is too boring, and there are no romance at all
Art 8/10
The art is not a problem for me
Sound 6/10
The music is not so bad, but some of them are really annoying. The OP and ED are not too bad Character 4/10
In my opinion, the most annoying one is Rinko. I admit that she's beautiful, but she is a normal human, and she should stay away from the Ayakashis because she is pathetic. This is probably the only part I hate from the story.
Enjoyment 5/10
Seriously, this anime is too boring for me. I can't enjoy this anime to the fu…

If you're looking to enjoy the story of this correctly, then just read the manga. But if you want to enjoy it visually in animation, and have a lot of the story drowned out with more unnecessary ecchiness and perversions; just watch this anime. Nuff said.

When I made my "anime to review next" list, I thought it'd be fun to re-watch some anime I haven't seen in a long time, mixed in with the more recent stuff and shows I haven't seen yet.
Enter Omamori Himari. A supernatural harem anime that I haven't seen in over a year. Unfortunately, I had an experience similar to Negima!?; I still enjoyed it, but not watching it in so long kinda dulled it a little...
Story Because I was new to anime when I watched Omamori Himari, I thought it was really good. Fast-forward about 16 months and it just seems meh at best. Sure, the existence of youkai allow some action to be injected into the show, but for the most part, it was about the main character collecting a…

Omamori Himari was one of the first animes I'd watched over my "Summer Anime Marathon" and I can say it was good. It wasn't a "One of the Greatest Animes Ever" anime, but it is worth watching if you're into the Echii/Harem stuff.
Story wise... cat girl is sent to "protect" a childhood friend from demons that want to kill him. That's the main story right there. Along with some side stories added to it, it turned out pretty decent. For every couple episodes, new characters joined the show and the story got more interesting. Well done, although at points it seemed a little slow.
Artwork, it's your average anime made within a 3 year period. The art was clear and colorful, but it seemed fairly average for an anime, and it's not just the scenery, it goes for the characters too. I feel like I'v…

Bouncing big boobs,ecchi, sword and neko... :)
if you like one of them, i think you must watch this anime frst.
and you'll really enjoy...
just sit and let your eyes follow the storyline....
i think "8" is enough to rate this...
that the incorporation of visuals, song and the storyline.

Ecchi and harem, they go hand in hand in the anime industry and are two of the most popular genres within the otaku culture, but this is widely known, so the question is: Does this anime have anything else to offer other than fan-service?
It's answer is: No, while it does have a plot and has some action mixed into it, this kind of a story could be from a kid's dream for all I know.
So after stating that this has no story where does this enjoyment come from, the fan-service obviously, while plot wise it is bad, the way it introduces characters and creates for the situations it has, it does relatively good. The "plot" revolves around a guy named Amakawa Yuuto, who is your ordinary high school student, nothing more than that, he has his caretaker (a tsundere) wake him up and tend to him fo…
