Inu X Boku SS Review

Right new review

Ririchiyo is a girl with oni blood, shunned by society, kept in a lonely house and wanted for her status, she goes to live in Maison De Ayakashi with others like her, she is assigned a bodyguard named Miketsukami, a fox demon who is a little too attached to the 15 year old girl despite Ririchiyo's penchant for being an unlikeable bitch as a defence mechanism. Curses, games and wacky hijinks makes Maison de Ayakashi hardly boring.
Although I did wish the anime did more with the setting, it's world building is one of it's strongest traits but ultimately chooses to waste time seeing Miketsukami being creepy, there are characters that help break the tension like Kagero's routine of calling the residents "human toilets" and comparing everything between Sadist and Masochist but even that gets old; a quick look into the manga beyond reveals more than I wanted to see as the story goes off the rails and even starts making it's adult characters into children as there is a subplot about reincarnation hinted at from the final episode, it's fixation on young characters unfortunately is hard to unsee considering how it's adults act.
Its even more baffling that this anime has an all star dub cast that feels straight out of old ADVFilms, so why try for this but not something more deserving, yeah it's a good dub but didn't deserve one.
Final Verdict: It's weird obsession of young characters and a world built to go unused makes Inu x Boku SS a massive disappointment.
