Tsugumomo

Tsugumomo

Introduction

In Japanese folklore, a "tsukumogami" is an object that has gained a soul, becoming alive and self-aware. There are two types of tsukumogami: the mature "tsugumomo," who have developed through long years of harmony with their owners, and the aberrant "amasogi," premature spirits that are only born to grant the destructive wishes of certain people. Kazuya Kagami has never gone without his mother's obi after her death. Be it at home or school, he keeps it safe with him at all times. One day, he nearly loses his life when a wig amasogi attacks him. When all seems to be over, his treasured obi defends him, transforming into a beautiful girl. She introduces herself as Kiriha, a tsugumomo owned by Kazuya's mother. With Kiriha's arrival, Kazuya enters a reality he has never seen before, a world with gods and tsukumogami.

Huh, i am not sure what sort of expectations i had from this show,but... i guess i was pleasantly surprised. Tsugumomo advertised itself as an ecchi show mainly. Now, is it an ecchi show? Yeah, there's quite a number of spicy scenes. And not just ecchi,but a league above(not specifically in quality though,but how explicit it is). Of course, those actions aren't really shown, unless you count the shadow in the school's cabinet, that totally showed what happend,or the dialogue in the cologne episode(bath). It's just above the middle ground compared to most ecchi in .... severity? I guess that's a good enough term. But honestly after watching this show and gettin hooked up on it, i'd watch it without any of the ecchi scenes no issue. The story is nothing that complicated,or trying to go for…

Man's mom's clothes just gained sentience, paranormal that won't go away is guaranteed trouble. And trouble we indeed got, Tsugumomo in my eyes is ecchi done right, those that can't handle a bit of lewd, loli, and life-threatening ball abuse (let's face it MC is never going to have kids if this keeps up...) should probably pass on this. Things get uncomfortable and awkward but that's kind of what makes it funny, rare is the fanservice here that doesn't play into some sort of joke. That being said the show also has a bit of shounen in its blood as the rare combat scenes have me enthralled and the show masterfully knows when to get serious and when to make sexually charged jokes.

If you've seen any supernatural ecchi harem comedy before, you'll know exactly what to expect from Tsugumomo. Unfortunately, the only ways it stands out from a dozen other shows like it are negative. The characters are mostly annoying, the character designs and art look surprisingly dated for a show released in 2017, and the story is skin and bones even by usual "become chosen one, train, fight rival" shounen standards. The jokes are the same unfunny ecchi humor that you've seen in a thousand other shows. Kiriha's pudding song was the only thing in the entire season that made me laugh. You get the occasional creative idea resulting from the amasogi, the spirits that the protagonist fights. One particularly good one is the episode where the school is turned into a visual novel. Unfortunatel…

Tsugumomo (2017) Albeit 3 years old it has aged very well. You get a wide cast from odd to perverted people in a very funny and wholesome show. The story of possessed objects of which some are good with consciousness and some bad comes with a funny story that has some serious action and heartfelt moments. Let us not forgot that the show is very ecchi too in the best possible way. The art is a very high standard that has aged well. It can be goofy at times but that is purposeful I believe by the show and its style. Sound has a fun op and ed with sounds generally being of great quality. The SFX could be deeper but that is a rare thing outside of serious action-based shows or that which is meant to be deeply dramatic. Characters are wide and varied whether it be a cute blue-haired gir…

[May Contain Spoiler] Alright, so I have done rewatching this anime, I did watch it for the first time but at that time (3 years ago) I didn't give much of thoughts but now the 2nd season is out for a while and I decided to give it a go again. The story is about a tsukumogami - "Kiriha" and her master "Kagami Kazuya" who is now experiencing supernatural activities around him and the reason behind them all is his own existence. In this world, there are 2 types of spirits first "tsukumogami" good ones - gain a soul by spending a long time and "amasogi" bad ones which are likely born recently or by the bad intention of people (mostly). "Kagami Kazuya" is now forced to and later decides to exorcise these bad spirits (amasogi) after knowing the truth behind it. so the rest of the part in the…

Tsugumomo is a series that shocks in its confidence shown by unexpected, flawed but very fun story. It follows a cliche monster of the week formula, but does this unapologeticly. The story is simple boy is a student, has to defeat ghosts, has obi who is a girl that knew his death mother. What truly shines is as said variety, for example there is a ghost that turned high school into a otome hentai game, or protagonist's best friend is a pervert, but from ghost wish recives a perfume that gets him all the girls. Is it perfect? No, but is it extremely fun? Yes!!!!!

tl;dr: A build up to a battle anime with a very interesting spark of humor and personality. This anime composed of a lot of really common aspects, but it takes them from a large number of places and puts them together in ways they aren't usually done and executes them pretty solidly, so it actually comes out really well. In terms of the overarching story, there isn't much beyond setting up the characters and systems, and though there are some plot threads that I am interested in seeing where they lead, there largely isn't something at a grand scale that they're working towards, with it largely being focused on smaller stories. These stories have two aspects, the more character focused portions and the more action oriented portions. As it starts out, the action is very simple and it's much…

Cliche, cliche, comedy, ecchi, shounen, fights. Tsugumomo tells the story about a boy and a type of "weapon" he inherited from his mother, that personifies in a charismatic character, in a charismatic character, Kiriha, seriously, by far is the most interesting character, our protagonist, Kazuya, is the typical character of ecchi innocent and naive, but with a great heart, super kind and clumsy, with obviously a harem of women behind him, and this is even worse in the manga. What is interesting here, perhaps, is the Kiriha, because she is an extroverted and "naughty" type, we see the same sexually attacking the young Kazuya causing in several comic scenes, taking this is just another generic anime with a protagonist boring. (I apologize for my spelling mistakes) (PT-Br) Clichê, clichê, co…

Tsugumomo is a funny, entertaining anime with a unique premise and pleasant characters that will keep you watching all the way to the end. Overall, there isn't too much to say about it. If you are looking for something that isn't too heavy of a watch with a bit of a lewd chuckle here and there, look no further. This series took me by surprise. While not the greatest anime ever made, Tsugumomo has its own special charm that will keep you watching until the final episode. It isn't for everyone but fans of light hearted comedies will be pleasantly surprised. Watching the characters grow and bond together kept a smile on my face that lingered even after I'd finished. The animation and sound are superb. Nothing jumps out as being amazing but there aren't any glaring issues, either. The char…

Tsugumomo looks like a typical generic shounen action harem show, at least at first sight. You've got Kazuya, our weak and average male MC who has to get stronger to fight some supernatural creatures, Kiriha, the supernatural and strong female lead who helps him, some more harem cast, and some ecchi of course. But right after the first episode, I knew this would be different, and I would like it. And after finishing, I knew that I was right. Yes it uses generic elements, but many of them in a rather unusual way. But there is more to it than just generics. Tsugumomo has plenty of ecchi scenes, but more in a funny way. Not like for example Shinmai Maou no Testament which is sometimes borderline Hentai, and you see lots of detailed boobs, butts, and lewd SM stuff going on, to make you pitch…

This is an unusual one. First, it can be quite perverted. Characters end up in very weird/awkward situations. It is something half-way between comedy jokes of To Love Ru, and blunt humor of something like prison school... actually it is quite hard to describe it properly. It is as if it tried to use bluntest lewd jokes without making situation look "sexy". I'd say it is quite clsoe to the kind of humor used in "Kyou no 5 no 2". Second, for some strange reason it has very high quality animation in fight scenes and fairly amazing music. The fights- and there are fights - can put some of shounen titles to shame. Animation in fights is extremely fluid and well done, and music complements the fights really well. So, there you have it. Story: 6/10: Acutlaly a somewhat interesting premise a…

One of the major reasons LA even looked into Tsugumomo is because Naomi Oozora was voicing a character with a Satanichia Kurumizawa McDowell cadence.......no seriously. Tsugumomo is if anything a fanserviced-up harem anime with a dense main male protagonist with some sprinklings of Shinto and Japanese folklore to go along with, however it's VERY scattershot. Tsugumomo's characters are stock at best from our bland main male protagonist Kazuya Kagami voiced by Yuuko Sanpei being the owner of the obi tsukumogami Kiriha voiced by Naomi Ozoora, where she's the extremely abrasive type and that's saying it lightly. Kazuya also has an older sister who's has a crush on him and is brazen about it, Chisato Chikaishi voiced by Noriko Shibasaki the tsundere childhood friend love interest who's extrem…

If you find grossly under aged girls in sexual situations objectionable you're gonna have a bad time. I had a great time. For a veteran anime watcher there will be almost nothing in the entire season that hasn't been seen in other animes: a typical weak teen guy protagonist that mostly coincidentally ends up surrounded by females and the accidental nudity scenes just keep raining all over, there is also of course a great threat that forces the weak teen guy to step up and try to become less weak. This is such a stereotypical ecchi harem setup that it's practically a classic. While the charactes are a huge parade of stereotypes they still manage to feel very true to their natures and their interactions very often end up being absolutely hilarious. Perhaps an intentional side effect of us…

What can I say beyond it is kind of perverted if your into that thing, I probably would have given this a 7, but I liked dubbed anime's so I can listen in the background in some parts when I am working on something else. Needless to say starts off pretty shit if you ask me but then gets better and better. At first I was like what are these fight scenes, plot and all the rest. Eventually it kind of grew on me and I could see the humor in it. I would probably never watch this again but it was not the worst for something to chuckle at in the background as I focus on other things.

Quite a surprise here. I didn't have high hopes for this anime, but Tsugumomo actually turned out quite well. Let's start with genres. There are 3 things worth pointing out: it's seinen, there is no harem tag and there is no drama tag. While Tsugumomo not being harem didn't really save this anime from feeling like one, it gives protagonist a bit more freedom and doesn't need to show us how dense he is every episode. This anime being seinen is a wonderful thing for any ecchi fan. No, we don't get anything special. It just means that instead of boobfest and nosebleeds without doing anything we have more or less reasonable use of nudity and reactions to it, although protagonists is too meek to make satisfying use of it. Finally, the lack of drama tag makes this kind of stories much more enj…

Warning possible Spoilers Going into Tsugumomo I was just expecting another two misfit characters doing random stuff like fighting monsters or other stuff which is what I got yet it somehow surprised in more ways than I was expecting. The story begins with Kazuya Kagami who doesn't go anywhere without his Sakura Obi that his mother gave him until one day a Tsugumomo spirit called Kiriha saved him from an evil spirit and that point on Kazuya's days would never be normal again. Now the story isn't really spectacular, but it is enjoyable because at least the characters do go around trying to stop evil spirits attacking people or being used by people who have been persuaded by the spirits to do evil or weird things unlike Love Tyrant which just gives up it's directive 3 episodes in whereas T…

Tsugumomo which is adapted from the manga of the same name is an interesting anime that has a rather unique premise and story behind it. Very few anime these days actually have names that relate to the subject matter of the anime itself and in this case Tsugumomo is probably the first example I actually seen. Tsugumomo which is something that actually exists within Japanese traditional legend are essentially objects that after long years of use and cherishment by its owners have gained sentience and their own bodies and through the use of magic spiritual abilities. Tsugumomo combines this premise with a traditional exorcist storyline that works similarly to the likes of Twin stars exorcist which pairs the Tsugumomo with someone that has with a bond with the Tsugumomo thus creating a team t…

Real Score:6.5\10 Tsugumomo, an adaptation from the homonymous Manga, which got a discrete amount of success. A simple story seasoned with basic yet entertaining characters, some clever ideas and a fun variety of situations. No Breakout whatsoever, but a fun experience overall Story 6\10 The Story is generic and it doesn't have anything interesting to offer, but it has some really clever ideas and good episodes, especially during the parts of the Malison Cleansiment, with interesting twists and ,just a little bit though, a serious tone and sense of resentment of the main character, who questions if he's really the good guy, but it's not explored enough though, and that's a colossal shame because it could have been an amusing mix of comedy and seriousness, even if the result may have been…

Tsugumomo is one of those anime I feel is underlooked in this season of anime. I first got interested in this anime personally because of its Japanese culture. Kiriha in particular really interested me with her bossy but confident personality and her unique fighting abilities as a tsugumomo. This anime surprisingly has a pretty interesting story as well as an intriguing cast of cast of characters. I really liked how the anime shamelessly uses lewd elements to conduct its story, it did not feel really alienating and each lewd element felt purposeful. It crosses a line of storytelling I thought wasn't possible. There's also a good amount of fights that happen in this story that really hooked me in with these characters. All of this leads to a good balance of comedy, lewdness, storytelling…
