Natsume Yuujinchou anyone? This seems just like it except instead of sprits, we have sentient... combs... I'm trying so hard not to laugh right now.

You're close! It has that House of Five Leaves & Samurai Champloo appeal to it. The art is incredibly vibrant. I have high hopes for this.

Hey! Tsukumogami are actually really cool! People used to believe that objects that survived more than 100 years were given a spirit and became sentient. Like Ren from Jigoku Shoujo.

This is an NHK produced anime, so it should be good quality. I wonder if it'll end up being two cours or not.

Synopsis

A brother sister pair named Okou and Seiji manage a rental shop known as Izumiya in Nakamachi, Fukugawa Ward, Edo.

A rental shop in that era is something that deals with renting anything and everything from daily necessities to antiques and even works of art to customers. However, something is just slightly different when it comes to the merchandise peddled by Izumiya compared to other stores. The difference is that they times that they lend out are known as ‘Tsukumogami.’ These are items that were made more than 100 years ago and have had a type of spirit come to reside in them making them sentient.

The tsukumogami that are rented out to customers listen to various conversations and then spread it around as gossip. Goodhearted Okou and Seiji borrow the powers of the tsukumogami in order to resolve all sorts of quarrels, both big and small, within their town.

This bittersweet real-life story of blossoming tsukumogami is interwoven with the humans of the town in Edo. Enjoy this story as it carefully reaches all the way to your core.

Three Episode Impression

Who else can appreciate an Edo-ccentric anime like Tsukumogami Kashimasu? This anime has been pretty OK so far with the first 3 episodes playing out the stories of 3 different individuals. While 3 humans may have brought their business to Izumoya, the stories are in fact about the tsukumogami at Izumoya more than their patrons. Them and of course the two siblings, Okou and Seiji. It’s interesting to see how these personifications of objects feel about their current predicaments in a rental shop, and how their past may have affected their current sense of selves at the moment. Then they have such a curiosity about Okou and Seiji but neither group directly interacts with the other, despite how aware they are of each other. It’s a tad strange. There’s also a strange story in the background about Okou and a lost love interest, and Seiji’s own feelings for Okou. I’m not a huge fan of the non-blood related incestuous story nor the rather shallow story Okou has going for her, but the anime is OK at the moment and I’ll proceed with watching it to see how it turns out. Is it as amazing as I originally thought? Hm, no, but it’s not something so bad that I’d drop it right now.
