Mixed Feelings
Your average battle shounen, with a tacked on forced romance component
The only interesting thing about it is the tsukumogami designs. They're basically just gijinkas for traditional japanese tools, but the way they incorporate the properties of the tool into their physical appearance, their personalities, and their combat abilities is honestly pretty creative and refreshing, definitely the highlight of the show. However, the show is extremely stale otherwise. The protagonist is a gary stu and his love interest/macguffin is the perfect mary sue to match. There's not a moment where you feel anything is in danger, the stakes are wholly nominal, the fights are a mere formality, everything narratively is bog standard. The show would work better as a Natsumi Yuujinchou clone, without the forced save the girl save the world crap that comprises the vast majority of the runtime. Despite the archetypal characters, in contexts removed from specifically the romance subplot, the muted slice of life comedy is actually amusing but it's not enough to justify this as is.
