This is based on the anime only and I will not reference it with the manga.
Story:6
Ommamori Himari is about the comedies(and problems) of the life of a clueless and cat-allergic demon slayer, his cat demon bodyguard and a harem of other demons and girls vying for his affection. Right from the start I saw that the anime had great potential. Instead of the typical accept-my-duty-as-a-demon-slayer scenario, Yuuto(the main character) chooses to lead a normal life. But things are never that simple in the world of anime or else there would'nt be a story. However,after the requisite introduction of Yuuto's harem and the perverted situations he gets into, the story basically felt as if it was rushed towards a very cliched and painful end. It could have been much much better and thus warrants only a 6 from me, it could have been a 9 or 10 with more work.
Art:8
The drawings was exquisite. Well drawn facial expressions too. Yet in 2010 I cannot really forgive that the action scenes feel as if they are from the 1990s; it takes 20 seconds to show a swing of the sword and everybody flying away. An action genre should show action not useless posturing. Nevertheless, tha art is still great.
Sound:7
The sound was good. The OP had a light-hearted feel to it that matched the mood of most of the episodes. But feel free to form your own opinion about the sound as I am not a good critic on the sound department.
Characters:6
Other than Himari's internal conflict between protecting Yuuto and staying by his side, the rest of the characters face little development. The other characters the story intoduced seem to turn into useless sidekick roles almost overepisode(pun on overnight); they stand there saying the most useless things that don't really add to the conversation and take up air-time. this anime could use some serious work in character development.
Enjoyment:7
Being male, I obviously enjoy the large servings of fan-service that Ommamori Himari provide but my enjoyment was dampened by the fact this was a poor ending to what could have been a really great anime story-wise.
Overall:7
If you are willing to accept the faults of a rushed ending or a fan of the ecchi genre, then i would reccomend you to watch this. The anime leaves much to be desired but hopefully there will be a second season with an ending that is not as crappy as the first season.
