If that isn't bad enough on its own, they barely left him any money to take care of himself. In order to pay rent and keep a roof over his head, he has to work. Unfortunately, he was just fired from his last job and as a high school student, he doesn't have many other prospects.
One evening, he's attacked by a centipede monster on his way home. Shinichirou is saved by a mysterious girl with a bow and arrow, who he later discovers is Sakuya Shimazu, a beautiful student who attends his school. But when he later helps an injured girl, he discovers two things. First, the injured girl isn't human at all but rather a nekomata, a two-tailed demon cat. And second, Sakuya comes from a family of exorcists, who've protected humanity from rogue monsters and spirits for generations. Because Shinichirou was responsible for releasing the nekomata, Sakuya enlists his help in recapturing the demon, but that's just the beginning of Shinichirou's relationship with Sakuya. It turns out the Shimazu family needs a housekeeper and it just so happens that Shinichirou excels at cooking and likes to clean! It may not be his dream job, but if it pays the rent and puts food on the table... Episode 1 was previewed at a screening at Kadokawa Cinema Shinjuku in Tokyo on January 5, 2015. Regular broadcasting began on January 24, 2015. | |

Isuca presents ourselves with an overall decent storyline, nice worldbuilding and enjoyable fanservice on almost every episode. This is an anime that greatly grew inside me even after some initial doubts on its first episodes that greatly dissipated as the series went by.
When I said "overall decent storyline" I meant that, while it is true Isuca might not have the deepness or complexity one might want from a series dealing with the supernatural such as this one, the fanservice, interesting situations and character development are more than enough than to carry the show on its shoulders. Members of the audience that aren't that demanding of
...
the anime they see (such as myself) will probably find enjoyment on this show for exactly those reason. I would recommend giving it an opportunity.
This series also has pretty good and entertaining fight scenes. The animation is good and the situations can get you invested in what you are seeing at times, although the pacing can become a bit anwkward when the characters start speaking on-screen during a fight. That would be the only complaint I have about that aspect.
Another pretty sweet aspect of this anime is the fanservice. There's casual nudity, panty shots and pretty funny lewd situations in almost every episode. I know this aspect might make some fraction of the spectators uncomfortable at what they are seeing, but if you don't mind or even enjoy these tropes in series then you will find that part of Isuca entertaining for that.
In conclusion: while Isuca might not be the finest show when it comes to storytelling and worldbuilding, its memorable cast of characters, funny situations and overall good directing make it an enjoyable anime to watch to those who fancy not thinking too much on what they are seeing. I would give it a chance, don't know about you.

If you like ecchi, just watch it. The story is bare-bones.
The animation is stiff, rushed, choppy and basic. And mind you i watched the Blu Ray version. So donβt expect anything from that department. It is as average as it gets.
The main character, Shimazu Sakuya, has a recurrent trope where she constantly hits the other main character, Shinichirou Asano, for whatever reason. I found it surprising that for an anime that lasts 10 episodes, Sakuya's behaviour gets annoying and repetitive extremely fast. Looking like she won't be able to break out from her psychotic tsundere personality.
This makes her character unrelatable, repulsive and appalling to withstand.
Definitely
...
something i hated throughout the series.
The story is bare-bones, right on the start of the first episode you are supposed to understand a lot of things that are happening that never got explained in the first place. So that's a rough start that lasts until mid series where most things get finally clarified.
This anime has lots of fan service and titi shots, so if you like hard ecchi anime, you'll like this anime.
A huge point is the gore scenes, very direct and crude. Definitely liked that and expect the amounts of blood it had to offer.
Overall, it is rushed and bare-bones, of course the ending is not the original one since the anime started in Jan 24, 2015. And the manga ended in Apr 4, 2017. Yet that is not a good enough reason not to watch this anime.
The poor quality is withstandable.
It has a cat girl, big tits, small tits, nipples, magic and gore in its favor. If you are into that, give it a shot. This has nothing else of value.

It is NOT a comedy and it is barely a romance and not realy ecchi. This anime is a action drama with horror scenes. So yes i gues you can understand why its score is not so good, it is because description is all wrong.
So in story there sre some girls hunting spirits and there is that guy that is helping them. And i gues if youre looking for an easy horror action anime then you may even like it, however if you want to enjoy a ecchi romantic comedy then go watch something alse.
And its not unusual that people try to sell dramas as
...
comedy for some reason, i usualy get lured to watch such animes by wrong description.
