Mania Grade: B-
In Summary:
Ghost Sweeper Mikami has a fairly fun set of episodes with the standalone pieces and the conclusion to the arc from the previous set brings things to a fun conclusion as the day is saved by Tadao's perverted nature. The lengthier stories tend to drag on a bit, such as the one involving a lord of the dragon clan that has come on a mission and those that follow him, but it takes an amusing turn when medusa shows up. With Mikami, you never know where an episode will go with the actual characters involved, even though you know in the end it will all reset back to zero in a way. One storyline actually has Reiko's entire home destroyed yet she makes enough money to have it built exactly the same way again, since it's obviously what she likes. Experiencing this show is definitely a struggle since it has its moments but it's so dated in a number of ways that it can hamper the basic enjoyments. If you can set yourself in that mid 90's mindset, it's a fun little blast from the past.
