On today's episode of Robazoid vs the Eternal Backlog, I finished more stuff from last season.

We Rent Tsukumogami was surprisingly not bad. The living items provided a Toy Story-esque comedic vibe at times (and were kind of lame at other times, but I digress), but the real focus of most of the plots was on piecing together the intricacies of relationships between people. Skillful writing for the mysteries and their emotional payoffs made up a lot for the rather weak premise and, quite frankly, poor production values. Still, I don't want to make it sound like I'm raving about this too much, especially since I liked it a whole lot less than the three other anime I mostly badmouthed yesterday. There was only one episode of this that I would describe as really good, and while most of the rest were at least decent it was still a below-average anime. I just went into this with super low expectations and it managed to surpass them! If you have to watch one of the antique mystery anime from last season, definitely pick this over Holmes of Kyoto. Tsukumogami blows that shitty Holmes anime out of the water in every regard.

Yuuna and the Haunted Hot Springs was also surprisingly good! Ecchi anime are always hit-or-miss for me, but this one wound up being alright. I liked Yuuna a lot, and quite a few of the other side characters were a lot of fun as well. I even liked Kogarashi, he had more personality than the typical cardboard-cutout ecchi harem protagonist. I loved the running gag where he could face every new situation because he'd spent some time in the past possessed by a ghost with a helpful skill. Mostly, though, I think this managed to click with me because I have a soft spot for spiritual stories. The plots of fighting ghosts while helping other ghosts was always neat, even if they were usually just used as excuses to set up accidentally groping all the ladies.
