Introduction
Inaba Yuushi's parents died in his first year of middle school, and he moved in with his relatives. Though they did care for him, he could tell he was a burden. After he graduated, he happily prepared to move to a high school with a dormitory. Unfortunately, the dormitory burned to the ground before he could move in! Yuushi doesn't want to live with his grudging relatives, but it's rough finding lodging as an orphaned student with little money. He finally finds a room in a nice old building which seems too good to be true.
The catch is that it is a Monster House, a place where humans and supernatural creatures—ghosts, mononoke, etc.—live together. Another high schooler lives there, a cute girl named Akine, and she's completely unfazed by the monsters. In fact, she can even exorcise evil spirits! Yuushi's high school life just got much stranger than he ever bargained for!

the storyline in the early eps was quite interesting but somehow it got more and more boring... i think mc can stop thinking he has to interfere in everything TT
why is his school life highlighted so much... i think the mc's school life is not that exciting... i like the lives of the youkai in his apartment more (they have unique character designs) and the character writing is much better than the characters in his school... doesn't match the title which i thought this anime was more about youkai living in apartments.
the female characters in the school annoy me... especially after the new teacher came, how can a student look like a tease... the way the mc and the female student call the new male teacher is also quite annoying to me (they call him without using sensei?)

At First i was searching for funny anime with not so heavy plot and i stumble upon this Youkai Apartment, i never really interested actually but this is actually really entertaining.
I find Youkai Apartment are quite similar to natsume yuujinchou- another anime that i enjoy a lot, i really love how cute and adorable some of the youkai are (the landlord looks really fluffy and cute) so i enjoy this anime.
story:
similar to Natsume Yuujinchou, they actually have different theme each episode with different encounter,but theres also a very good main plot and character development. some of the episode are really touching i i actually ended up crying
Art:
The art kinda looks old but not bad. and sometimes i feel theres a change of quality in some scene but overall its pretty enjoyable and nic…

Overall this show feels weirdly incoherent and not sure what it's trying to be - you'd think from the title it'd focus on the youkai inhabitants of the apartments but in the first 12 episodes only one inseparable pair of the youkai are given a full episode dedicated to their story. In fact, of the 5 youkai that appear in more than 1 episode with any role, 3 are unable to talk and 1 can only say "welcome back".
On its own that's just misleading given the title of the series but the problem is the character work is poor and the plots and emotional arc are a bit of a mess. I guess the closest thing to a theme of a series is the main character's maturation but the problem is we never really see him changing - he makes references to how he was "before" yet we're never given a glimpse of how h…

PLOT:
Here's to the new adventures where Inaba decides to move into an apartment where it contains various youkais. (Typically a lot of people would back out from it... but with him, it becomes very entertaining and he will never be bored). While he gets to settle into the new apartment... he gets to meet his neighbours and various characters throughout the series. Overtime, Inaba gets to unlock another side of him that contains his spirituality powers.
CHARACTERS:
Inaba: New resident in the Youkai apartment, high school student, kind, & caring.
Akane: Inaba's friend and neighbour, spiritualist, funny, outgoing, powerful, and kind.
OVERALL:
This is one of my favourite top 5 animes in 2017. It is very refreshing to know that this anime contains 26 episodes. It gives us time to get to kn…

Well, slice-of life in the apartment with the good ghosts and stuff like that... well... i kinda missed the point to be fair.
Character developement practicaly didnt happend, and overall it felt, like the story is not moving in any direction, which didnt actualy happend even in the final episode in my opinion.
If I was to say, that this show felt plain as the chest of the loli character, i would be praising it.
Still, the animation was nice and there wasnt any unbearable fanservise included, so it was at least watchable.
In comparation with the Magetsukan Kitan (manga with the similar story) I must say this one is on the loosing end.

For me it was a very relaxing anime to watch when compared to my typical bloody, action packed, and/or strange anime that I enjoy.
I recommend this one to people that enjoy thinking about psychology and sociology. The show is focused on speaking about and showcasing aspects of the human mind. A great watch. Now, I'm going to watch some bloody anime lol. Geez they want my review even longer? Why is that, the show was good and all i have left to talk about are spoilers. Even longer? So the main character is often hinted at being gay which was very humorous to me. The show gave me a lot of laughs.

When I think of how best to summarize Youkai Apartment no Yuuga na Nichijou I think it’s like a student's passion project. Its heart is in the right place and it's trying its best to make the audience happy. Although it may be a bit on the amateurish side and it’s clumsily made, it’s so endearing in its struggle that you can’t help but cheer it along regardless.
Story: 5/10
It’s slice of life so there's no major overarching plot. In the first half of the show, the main character Inaba goes to the wonderful Youkai Apartment and we meet all of the fanciful inhabitants. Most episodes take place within the apartment, at Inaba’s high school, or in the town he lives in. From his new roommates, he learns that about the good and bad ghosts that inhabited his world all his life. This structure is…
