Ayakashi are strange, supernatural creatures invisible to the majority of people. Though most are harmless, some ayakashi attack humans to devour their life force. Exorcist ninjas are tasked with protecting people from these spiteful spirits. Matsuri Kazamaki is a young exorcist ninja born to a prestigious clan. His childhood friend, Suzu Kanade, is an ayakashi medium—an individual with immense vitality that attracts ayakashi. Matsuri deems all ayakashi threatening and wishes to keep Suzu as far from them as possible, but this clashes with her desire to remain close to them. One day, the pair encounters Shirogane, the "King of Ayakashi," who is hellbent on consuming Suzu. As she is about to be eaten, Matsuri comes to the rescue and manages to seal the ayakashi's powers—but not before Shirogane takes revenge by turning him into a girl! Until he finds a way to transform back, Matsuri must adjust to his new, peculiar lifestyle while fighting against hostile ayakashi. Moreover, Suzu is now conflicted about her feelings toward Matsuri—further plunging their relationship into a state of ambiguity. [Written by MAL Rewrite]

Listen, I know, sometimes they need to censor scenes for the actual broadcasting, but this is just ridiculous. It doesn't show anything: all the 'important parts' are covered by a cat sticker in an almost mocking way. They're not subtle at all, and that's terribly irritating. What even is the point of watching it, then? Surely not for the plot or the characters, because those are abysmally generic and uninspired. It's stuff I've seen done way better a dozen times. Highschool DxD showed boobs and butts more than a decade ago and even managed to slap a hint of plot into it (enough not to makeme doze off while nothing of relevance was on screen if you know what I mean), while today, 2024, I need to buy a blueray to see some backwater, generic ecchi-supernatural anime as the author meant it - all that because the media industry is getting increasingly prudish. It's like removing all the blood and violence from, say, Chainsaw Man, and forcing you to buy the blueray to see them. What about no? What is the rating even there for? Miss me with these petty schemes.
As a huge fan of kentaro yabuki's To Love Ru, and someone who enjoyed Black Cat, this show sort of missed on all cylinders. It basically tried to fuse those 2 shows, and it didn't excel in either. What happened. Why is everyone so apathetic towards this show. Needless to stay, this probably isn't getting another season based on comments from twitter, so we are reviewing this based on what is here so far. Yabuki may not get another series animated for a while. It wants to be an ecchi, wants to be an action show with lore, wants to be a romance, wants to bea comedy. So there is a fundamental identity crisis. As an ecchi, it is incredibly uncreative an just goes for the usual topless scene, usually focused just on Matsuri. Compared to Love Ru, it just feels lazy. As an action show, nothing to write home about in 2023 with unimpressive action. It will look great in manga form, but this studio unfortunately won't be able to meet modern standards. Powers more or less ripping off Naruto characters like Sai and Ten Ten. Sosuke was a cool villain but unfortunately a fairly villain of the week one. The story lacks a lot of structure, and if you aren't a fan of his art style, you will likely lose interest fast. It switches between action then sol, and more or less does the same thing. As a result, the simplistic story is not going to cater interest. It more or less just there to explain the transformation and becomes less relevant later on. The biggest problem is definitely the characters since despite a smaller cast than TLR, Lucy and Yayoi feel way too secondary to even most of the TLR cast with no role to right home about. So there role feels gimmicky like Risa from TLR. Comedy was good at the beginning with the transition but sort of fizzledo out later on, and I don't think the romance is well written. It is basically I have feelings and such. He is a phenomenal artist but probably shouldn't try to tackle a manga by himself. To Love Ru didn't deserve to die for this. There are extremely talented writers like Koshi Tachibana that can fuse ridiculous fan service elements into an amazing epic. But Yabuki has shown he isn't one of them.
It's a classic ecchi with genderbend, but it hides a more interesting and better plot than most of the current productions. Although it doesn't escape from the cliches of the genre, at least it didn't make me roll my eyes with every joke; in only 12 chaps the characters had a greater development than others have in two seasons, the music doesn't shine but it fits perfectly with the story, its worldbuilding is not really elaborated but it's interesting, and the animation is attractive and fluid enough for the genre. In short, it's a series that, while not quite good enough to be a gem, iswell-crafted to shine on its own. It's really a shame that we probably won't see a second season (a somewhat weak start and its months-long hiatus didn't help it in that regard). We'll have to wait for the uncensored Blu-Ray sales to find out.
I think this series storyline familiar some serious, and gender transformation and kill ayakashi, this story also similar some series, I don't want to mention it, because I don't want to spoil this series. But if I have a bigger objection, if this series is 17+, so why nudity part is covered? It doesn't make any sense. If this recommend Ecchi part, it can see in this series, but it is biggest disappointment for Ecchi (R+) lovers. So I am big disappointed to this series, story can acceptable, but this series doesn't fullfil viewers expatiation. They can make this Ecchi part more freely. That's all.
A 12 episode ecchi anime with genderswap and a hint of harem. It's nothing new and there really isn't anything in here to completely revolutionize the anime world, but I still think it manages to stand apart a bit from the competition. So what is it that makes this anime worth a watch? Well... World & Story The premise is interesting and one that can be used with a lot of variation. There's not too much done with it though and I would have liked to see a bit more. The world is interesting and engaging and again, it leaves me with a taste for more. There'sa lot of potential here, just waiting to take things further. The story is a bit weak and while it works well enough for a 12 episode show I think more could have been done. Characters & Writing The characters are fine and somewhat well written for such a short run, but the supporting characters do leave room for improvement. What I really like is that there's character growth and change, which is always welcome, and they make believable and reasonable decisions for the most part. The dialogue is quite standard and ends up in the category where it's neither bad or good enough to really take note of. Art & Animation Nothing exceptional here, but overall good quality art and fluid animations. It's easy to follow the action and to keep the characters apart. The design of the titular ayakashi is good and while it's perhaps not a feast for the eyes it's a solid dinner. I don't know if an uncensored version of this exists, but there are plenty of both panty- and nude shots that are covered up. They range from the slightly funny to the gratuitous and every single one is 100% fanservice. Music & Sound Solid, but not great. Pretty standard stuff here with little to say about it. Bits & Bobs First, the ecchi parts feel like they're not really needed and the censoring does drive that home. No scene with nudity actually benefits from the nudity and the scenes that are about nudity are often just there for fanservice and cheap gags. I feel like they should either have gone for it a bit more or not made it ecchi in the first place. In fact, the series has enough going for it that the fanservice becomes completely unneeded. I could see this developing into a long series, but the ecchi actually holds it back from that. Conclusion A lot of potential and with a few tweaks it could become something great, but it's held back by the short season and ecchi elements. It's worth a watch if you like genderbender, supernatural stuff or censored ecchi, but if you don't watch it you won't miss too much. Still, it's only 12 episodes so you might as well.
