About Omamori Himari

If you are hunting for a new action series, Omamori Himari deserves a look (2010). The setup goes like this. At its core: After the death of his parents, Yuuto Amakawa lives a pretty ordinary life in the city. The only problem he has to worry about while attending school alongside Rinko, his next-door neighbor, is his cat allergies.

From there, that all changes on his sixteenth birthday, when an Ayakashi—a supernatural creature—attacks him for the sins of his ancestors. Luckily, he is saved by Himari, a mysterious cat-woman with a sword, who explains that Yuuto is the scion of a family of demon-slayers. Omamori Himari chronicles Yuuto's dealings with the various forces of the supernatural realm, as well as the growing number of women that show up on his doorstep, each with their own dark desires.

In an action series like this, fight choreography, pacing and sound design carry much of the weight. If you count yourself among viewers who like fast, high-impact fights, put it on your list.
