Forewarning: This anime is not for the light hearted, people that just want action, or people that do not like anime that features lewd scenes of girls that are not tall and have massive tiddies. But there are some pretty massive titties in here, so if you like all shapes and sizes, then you'll find the characters hot in this anime.
Tsugumomo is an action, ecchi, harem, supernatural anime about friendship, romance and the bonds we share with other people. This anime at first really doesn't feel like it should be emotionally investing. But if you find yourself liking this, trust me you're gonna get attached to these characters.
Tsugumomo's story is very simple, yet so outstanding at the same time. It's not just titties and fanservice scenes, it's about more than that. This is a story of a young boy who has been inflicted by a grave misfortune at birth, and must deal with it's effects through his life. By meeting more people and awakening to his powers once again, a boy must find his path in life to protect his friends and family from monsters made of evil malice. By mixing Japanese mythology with the modern day times, Tsugumomo has succeeded at making the simple interesting.
Kiriha: AKA the perfect being to ever exist, such a great characterSO now that I am done ranting about it let's give it in an easier to digest format for new viewers or anyone interested
Story 10/10: Tsugumomo is a 1:1 adaptation of it's source material. There really is not much missing from the anime, it's all there! Pretty rare for most anime these days to actually represent what the author wanted. I kind of detailed on the story a bit earlier, but this first season is mostly centered around Kazuya building up his powers and learning about the world of tsukumogami and gods. Season 1 is the buildup to season 2, because in season 2, a LOT and I mean a LOT happens, it blew me out of the water. There is also a lot more material after where the anime ends, and you can just pick the novel right up right around chapter 67 where it starts immediately after the last episode.

Animation/art style 9.5/10__: I am really only going to take some points off here because i don't think the animation really diverges itself from your average anime animation, EXCEPT for the battle scenes. The battle scenes are very well directed and will have you on the edge of your seat. Although, I think if there was a lot more attention to backgrounds in this anime, it would definitely succeed in being a genuine 100/100 anime for me. But I still love generic anime art style, I mean it's anime, it's not meant to give you ultra HD 4k graphics. Think about the poor animators in their studios making awful wages.
Characters 10/10: You like a certain character archetype? Well it's mostly here? I mean the characters are not the stereotypical character archetypes by any means, especially Kiriha. Who in all honesty, is just a lazy, lusty lady who just wants to protect kazuya from harm. Kazuya himself is really just the average wimpy MC, but it's not about him being a wimpy MC, it's about his development into becoming a fuckin chad. By the end of season 1 you'll be like damn that's some character development. Those are the 2 characters that are definitely "MCs" the other characters serve their purposes in the story line and get the character growth they also need. Honestly, character growth is probably the one quality of this anime that is most important.
Come on look at that face, you can't tell me she isn't god tier.All in all, I genuinely believe Tsugumomo is the pinnacle of ecchi, and if you don't that's all good. Because at the end of the day you, the reader may not even like it. If you don't like the anime or me that's okay, we all share different opinions, and enjoy things in different fashions and manners. If you liked season 1, be sure to watch season 2.
