AniWorthGhost Sweeper Mikami
Introduction
In a world plagued with malicious ghosts, how is it possible to combat the existence of such evil spirits? The answer is to hire a "Ghost Sweeper"—a professional exorcist, whose duty is to exterminate any unwanted ghoul or poltergeist.
When it comes to Ghost Sweepers, Reiko Mikami is considered to be a cut above the rest. After receiving an offer to examine a haunting near Jinkotsu Hot Spring, she sets off to put her skills to work. Accompanied by her assistants, the underpaid and perverted high school student Tadao Yokoshima and the friendly teenage ghost Kinu Himuro, GS Mikami details the wacky exploits and adventures of these three as they go about investigating paranormal activities.

"GS Mikami" offers a delightful experience. Initially, I was unsure about its dated visuals, but they grew on me over time, adding a unique charm to the series. What immediately caught my attention was the comedy, which starts right from the first episode. The humor is slow-paced, in your face.
However, the show isn't without its flaws. While it delivers laughs, there are moments where the comedy falls flat, and the plot may feel a bit disjointed at times. Yet, despite these inconsistencies, I found myself thoroughly entertained throughout the series.
One of the highlights of "GS Mikami" is its characters. While they may not be the most complex or deeply developed, many of them are incredibly enjoyable to watch. From the pervy antics of Yokoshima, quirkiness of Okinu to the High-Mighty M…

Ghost Sweeper Mikami is a series with likeable characters & great sense of humor. It is episodic but offers some good quality stories & creativity, especially if you like The Slayers & Hell Teacher Nube.
The series is set in 90's Japan where ghosts & demons are quite common. To get rid of these phantasms "Ghost Sweepers" are hired to exorcise them. One of these Ghost Sweepers is the gold digger Mikami Reiko & her assistants the "thirsty" Yokoshima & the ghost Okinu. Much of the anime focuses on these characters daily life but they are filled with comedy & their encounters with various spirits, however it can get a bit dark at times.
Similar to Hell Teacher Nube, Ghost Sweeper Mikami tends to be episodic with some stories being 2-3 episodes long which can vary from facing ghosts, possesse…

If there’s something strange, in the neighbourhood, who you gonna call? Close but no buster but that would be Mikami Reiko, one of Japan’s top ghost sweepers. Assisting Mikami is her under-paid teenage lackey, Yokoshima Tadao, and the 300 year old teenage ghost, Okinu. And episode by episode, they take care of business.
With the exception of a small number of 2-parters, the series is episodic and you can jump into any episode with little to no prior familiarity. However, in addition to the main trio, there will be some reoccurring characters such as fellow Ghost Sweepers Meiko and Emi; the alchemist Dr. Chaos and his android assistant Maria; and Mikami’s former teacher and his current discipline, Pete, a half-breed vampire.
Each character has their own function that works in a formulaic…

This had a fun set up and a great universe but no overall story arc. There were a couple places where things heat up but in the end nothing much changes. Mikami reminds me of Lina Inverse except even when things get serious Mikami is still focused on making money. She never seems to have that total transformation to actually caring. Anything that makes it through is very small.
There are some interesting threads that never get followed up much. For example, Yokoshima seems to have some real spiritual power, but nothing much happens with it. There is also a very slowly developing romantic thing between Yokoshima and Okinu. It would have been great to make more progress on this. The other characters that show up from time to time are interesting as well but I find myself wishing they had mo…
