Tsukumogami Kashimasu

Tsukumogami Kashimasu is a slice of life set in 17th century Japan told in mystery format. At the heart of the story are Seiji - serving as Nick Carraway equivalent (see Great Gatsby), and the tsukumogami - everyday objects turned sentient. Each episode features a nuance on human relationships, while building towards the main mystery surrounding Seiji's sister's (Oko's) past. The tsukumogami themselves, though initially wary of humans from insecurities of a previous ownership, face the respective realities of their past, and slowly come to terms with their existence and role in the siblings' lending shop.

While the mysteries themselves aren't something to write home ... about, the underlying character development of the lending shop's clients between the start of each mystery and the end has a certain allure. That said, the character development of Seiji himself is lacking - though one may argue that's just the way he was written.

I found the series overall a gentle and charming experience, each mystery had a meaningful (albeit sometimes obvious) plot twist, and the character relationships felt genuine. Solid 8.

P.S. My bias is that I think Tsukumogami is deserving of a higher score than its current score of 6.61 at the time I penned this review.

Really enjoy the anime and glad I found it. I think it is so under-rated!

Love the relationship of Okou, Seij and the tsukumogamis! They share an unspeakable bond, they care for each other in their own way and I love it because of that. They are, indeed a 'family'.

Am also amazed and love how the shop-changing scenes are done! It's so nice, smooth and cool! The characters are all different and give life into the story.

Love how the story flows, from 1st episode with the 1st customer that we see, till the last, and it all came back to their main story ... or past history, the incense burner,Suou. And audience will then understand how important Suou actually is when in the end, Okou's intention is just to make it all end and she already make her decision long ago.

It is really heart warming and easy to watch. Would love to rewatch it again sometime. Also it's from my favourite director and sound director! Definitely recommend for whoever like mystery,history and slice of life!

Nothing Special ATM. Best part of this anime till now is that it has the littest opening. Did you like the Kokkoku op from Winter? The same artist is back to sing another opening for THIS ANIME! Well enough about the song lets go more indept in the anime.

The anime is about Tsukumogami which are items that can come alive. The story is kinda based in either a old year in japan or a place in japan where it looks old. Its all about a store that lends these so called Tsukumogami to solve mysteries. Every episode is a new Mystery. It has some comedy ... elements in it but not the funniest anime. Did you ran out of masterpieces to watch? Go watch this its worth a shot!
