Synopsis

On her 16th birthday, Himari Momochi receives a letter stating she has inherited a mansion called the "Momochi House." Having been raised in an orphanage, this mansion is the only thing left of her real family, so Himari pays no mind to the rumors that it may be haunted. Upon entering it, she meets Aoi Nanamori and his companions, Ise and Yukari, who all seem to be squatting in her new home. Although they warn her to leave the house, Himari vows to be the one to make them leave instead.

But soon, she is attacked by youkai and finds out that the house sits in the space between the world of the living and the spirit realm. Even more surprising, Aoi was chosen to be the guardian of the house—a position originally meant for Himari. But this great power came with an awful price: Aoi can never leave the mansion, and his existence in the human world has been erased. Ignoring his pleas for her to leave the mansion, Himari promises to help Aoi break the housebound curse as she begins living under the same roof as him.

I rarely write review, but I think this anime deserves higher score. Besides of it's cliché romance plot, it has plot twist and made me curious about what will happen in the next episode.
Aoi isn't your typical tsundere-who-always-yelling-without-reason like other male lead, he's a really sweet boy. You may find his personality feels weird, but it's normal, because he's knowledge is like a 10 years old. That's why he act so sweet like a baby boy.
And also, you may complain about Himari's personality, but don't forget the fact that she's just an ordinary human without power. She won't easily crying, don't worry about her.

Mixed Feelings

Well-written

I don't normally write reviews, but I honestly think it's awful that this anime has such a low rating and a majority not recommended reviews. This isn't a perfect anime by any means, it's a bit clunky, and probably too rushed to give the characters any real room to breathe, but it's an interesting story and a nice romance. Don't let the score fool you, if the title and poster drew you in, you'll probably enjoy this anime. I'm beginning to realize that MAL underrates shoujo in general. An equivalently decent shonen would not be sitting at a 6.4, so keep that in mind.

I've seen ... a lot of people comparing this to Kamisama Kiss, but worse. I've never seen that anime, so I can't really make a comparison. But I can say it does feel Fruits Basket adjacent, but with much less focus on the characters and more focus on the mystery. Much of the anime centers around the main character's fish-out-of-water situation, how weird it is to finally go to your family home and find it inhabited with weird spirits who won't fully accept you or tell you exactly what's going on. Most episodes waver between hints at an overarching plot and a monster of the week kinda thing. Things would feel much more fleshed out and less rushed if this was a two cour show, but in this day and age just getting shoujo adapted is a big enough accomplishment so ya get what ya get I guess.

The strong suit of this anime is definitely the mystery and the romance. Teasing out character's motivations and backstories every episode is honestly pretty engaging, though this only centers on the main characters, side characters are left to the wayside, again, seemingly because they tried to cram so much into twelve episodes. The romance is very cute, grows believably, and doesn't progress like you would expect from the typical shoujo/romcom cliches. The art style is great, the patterned flourishes to clothing and wallpaper are gorgeous, though the animation quality is lacking sometimes (quite a few slideshow scenes that could have been fully animated but weren't). This is probably a personal issue, but if you aren't very familiar with the terminology associated with Japanese spirits and demons you might have a problem following some of the introductions and very brief explanations of the inhabitants of the house. Lots of new names and terms get thrown out with little to no set up or explanations, presumably because the target audience already understands the differences between an ayakashi and a youkai. It doesn't diminish the enjoyability of the plot, but it can be a bit annoying so keep that in mind.

Overall, if you enjoy believable romances, mysteries that are slowly solved over a season, and interesting world building, you'll enjoy this show. If you're in it for dramatic, intricate, character growth and lots of well animated action then you will probably not have the patience for this show. 7.5/10

Not Recommended

(i should have dropped this seeing the "recommended" to "not recommended" ratio, except I forgot to check that before putting it in my watchlist)

Look, (to whomever reading) I didn't watch "Momochi-san chi no Ayakashi Ouji" to trash on it. The premise seemed very "Kamisama Hajimemashita" (or "Kamisama Kiss") and I was all for it. I was very much here to enjoy a shojo ayakashi rom-com...

Except, you can just watch Kamisama Hajimemashita instead.

I don't know what this story tries to accomplish or what the story is even, it just seemed like a bad copy-paste work of Kamisama Kiss. And that has me sad & angry. ...
