Robazoid 09/10/22 7:06:43 PM #60: | 154. Yuuna and the Haunted Hot Springs https://myanimelist.net/anime/36726/Yuragi-sou_no_Yuuna-san Summer 2018 (12 episodes) My Score: 5/10, MAL Score: 7.02/10 Best Character: Yunohana Yuuna https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DrOkdBa3Q5w Premise: Fuyuzora Kogarashi, having long been targeted by evil spirits, has learned how to exorcise them. When he meets a friendly ghost, Yunohana Yuuna, he decides to figure out a way for her to move on peacefully. The Good: I like supernatural stories, and I really like stories about helping a ghost move on. While Yuuna and the Haunted Hot Springs wasnt the greatest example of that, it still had enough of those elements that I enjoyed it. However, this is mostly a comedic fanservice anime where Kogarashi lives with a harem of sexy ladies. My favorite running gag was Kogarashis past possessions by various ghosts. Any time he needed a niche skill, hed be like its a good thing I was possessed by the ghost of a master carpenter for three months as a kid! and thats why he knows carpentry. Made me laugh every time. He had a lot more character than the typical fanservice harem protagonist. Yuuna was still my favorite because she was a cute ghost, and the focus was on trying to fulfill her lifes regrets. The Bad: As much as I like supernatural stories about helping ghosts move on, and as much as I liked some of the jokes, the fanservice aspect of this kept getting in the way. Like, it doesnt matter if a gag has a good setup if the ultimate payoff is Kogarashi accidentally groping one of the sexy ladies again. I dont hate fanservice, but in this it kept undercutting good gags or taking the tension out of what couldve otherwise been a neat situation. Overall: Yuuna and the Haunted Hot Springs is a solid supernatural anime about trying to help a cute ghost finally move on. I liked most of the characters and the adventures they went on, but I wouldve liked them a lot more if the story stopped going out of its way to be sexy. The focus on fanservice became distracting and was a detriment to the anime overall. --- **R.O.B.A.Z.O.I.D** ... Copied to Clipboard! |
