Ghost Sweeper Mikami

GＳ美神　極楽大作戦！！

(Anime + manga)

Action / Comedy by Takashi Shiina

Era: 90s

Rating: B

Plot: In bubble era Japan overdevelopment displaced many ghosts and yokai, leading to the creation of Ghost Sweepers, exorcists who solve the problems caused by them. Reiko Mikami, a redhead in a cocktail dress is the one of the best and charges her clients more than accordingly, helped by his chronically underpaid assistant, high school student Tadao Yokoshima, soon joined by the ghost of Okinu, a teenage girl sacrificed to appease a vulcano 300 years ago who became the guardian of the mountain.

Length: 45 episodes, 398 chapters, 1 movie

Thoughts: Well, here's a show with as amusing cast of secondary characters, like Meiko, one of Mikami's closest friends (or so she believes) who controls 12 shikigami hiding on her shadow, although "controls" might be a bit too generous considering they run rampant the moment she starts crying and is a bit of a crybaby, or Dr. Chaos, an immortal alchemist who was incredibly powerful in the middle ages (as we get to see in the manga), but who has lived so long anything new he learns makes him forget something else, like how did he made Maria, his robot assistant. Turns out forgetting the useful stuff isn't great for his finances, and he lives in constant fear of his landlady. And speaking of finances, there's also some fun world building, like the premise of the show (ghosts and yokai being left homeless due to overdevelopment) and how out of whack the economy is - Mikami can (and will) ask for hundreds of millions for a job, but then we also learn some of the charms and talismans used in these exorcisms cost up to tens of millions as well, and being forced to use more expensive charms eating into her profits is a constant source of amusement particularly when the decision falls on Yokoshima or Okinu. Meanwhile, Yokoshima is still only getting paid 250 yen per hour. He later gets a 5 yen raise, so that's fine.

The main characters work pretty well together, from Mikami's power and intelligence (as well as a everything goes style) allows her to solve any issues easily, Yokoshima's dedication to a job that puts him at constant risk for little pay in name of his pervert behaviour he doesn't seem to get over even when he often gets immediate comeuppance, and Okinu's attempts to get everyone getting along. However, as far as development goes, the anime covers maybe a fifth of the story, missing when they begin in earnest around one third in - uncovering the origin of Reiko's powers, Yokoshima becoming a GS himself (only hinted in the anime by Shoryuki during the training arc) and Okinu becoming the senpai for the friendlier ghosts in the area, later a spiritualist (and other things) herself, and the plot heavy part of the story that begins halfway, and so are some other great additions to the cast of characters - Saijou, Michie Mikami, Ashtaroth, Lucíola, Tanamo and Shiro are obviously all absent. The manga by the end mostly drops the individual cases in favour of typical shounen adventure long arc, but it also feels there was a bit more to the story left to tell anyway, even after almost 400 chapters. The movie is an original story (Mikami is chosen through time to prevent the resurrection of Oda Nobunaga / Nosferatu) and your typical three episode long arc with some improved animation.

All in all, a pretty fun watch from the 90s.

Recommended to: fans of folk tales and ghost stories on the lighter side

Plus:

The timing and expressions kill me

Charming cast of characters

While very episodic in nature, it throws around enough variety to not feel too repetitive...

Minus:

... but it's still pretty episodic.

In the manga as it does longer and more ambitious story arcs, it loses maybe a bit from doing your regular save the world stuff versus the more curious one-off stories.

Due to covering maybe the initial fifth of the manga, character progression isn't all there in the anime. Makes you interested, so, mission accomplished?

Salon Kitty screencaps

Salon Kitty is a 1976 erotic-war-drama film directed by Tinto Brass. The film was coproduced by Italy, France and West Germany. It is based on the novel of the same name by Peter Norden, covering the real life events of the Salon Kitty operation, under which the Sicherheitsdienst took over an expensive brothel in Berlin, had the place wire tapped, and replaced all the prostitutes with trained spies, in order to gather information on various members of the Nazi party and foreign dignitaries.

It is considered among the progenitors of Nazisploitation genre.

Plot (it may contain spoilers)

Wallenberg (Helmut Berger), an ambitious Nazi SS commandant, devises a plan to select a special group of female informants in order to plant them as prostitutes in a high class brothel on the eve of World War II in order to collect intel on various important members of the Nazi party and foreign dignitaries who frequent the establishment. The selected SS auxiliaries are then group tested with SS men to assess their suitability. The brothel is then purged of its regular girls and Kitty (Ingrid Thulin), the owner and Madam of the brothel, is forced to comply and allows her original girls to be deported as the building gets wiretapped with listening devices and other surveillance equipment, after which the new girls proceed to spy on their illustrious clients. However, when one of the informants named Margherita (Teresa Ann Savoy) discovers that the surveillance project resulted in the execution of her lover, Luftwaffe pilot, Hans Reiter (Bekim Fehmiu), she enlists Kitty to help her take down Wallenberg. Margherita entraps Wallenberg via a recording where he tells her that he has the dirt on all the top Nazi hierarchy and intends to bring them all down. As a consequence, Wallenberg is executed for treason.

Oh god there's so many of them

All the MyStreet picrews I made. This took me three hours.

In order: Nana, Aphmau, Zane, Aaron, Travis, Katelyn, Lucinda, Laurance, Michi, Dante, Garroth, Nicole (part 1); Kim, Ein, Dottie, Daniel, Rylan, Blaze (part 2); Maria, Melissa, Gene, Zenix, Sasha, Cadenza, Ivy, Teony, Zoey (part 3)

Picrew link: TOON ME! ⟪ A ⟫｜Picrew

This is a very long post, so I apologise for all the words, but I wanted to ramble. Click for info on MyStreet AU.

Changes to the story: The main characters meet after high school. Some of them knew each other (Katelyn, Lucinda and Nicole, for example), and they mostly knew of each other, but they weren't a big friend group until after graduation.

Aphmau was home-schooled her entire life, only allowed to public school for college, which is when she meets her friends. She knew a few of them online for a while (Aaron as FC, Nana as Kawaii~Chan, Katelyn as 'Firefist', and others) and is eventually the one to introduce the different groups to one another.

They are all adults. They are eighteen (with the exception of Zane, who is seventeen, he graduated high school a year early)

Aphmau is the bridge between the different friend groups, eventually convincing them all to stay friends.

The plot would go pretty much as it does in canon, following the group in simple slice-of-life adventures, dealing with the trials and tribulations of university, post-graduation life, dealing with being adults now, eventually spiralling to all hell breaking loose at Starlight.

Though, things start to spiral (very slowly) earlier than it does in canon. Backstories and relationships are different, some story beats are removed, changed or re-ordered, some additional points would be added in, and the background of the world itself would (probably) be more fleshed-out, more similar to my MCD rewrite/AU

Also Zoey. Zoey is here now.

Melissa is a college graduate with a degree in marketing, already running a branch of Lycan's family business. Aaron is also taking a course in marketing, though he isn't enjoying it.

Travis and Katelyn are exes, having dated for a while in high school as sophomores, breaking up after Travis realised he wasn't happy in the relationship (he wound up less happy out of it, but Katelyn hates his guts to the point where she hasn't even looked at him since the breakup)

Nana and Nicole both dated Dante, also in high school, and the rumour is that he dated them both, they found out, and dumped his ass- the truth is that Dante had feelings for Nana while dating Nicole and left her to pursue a relationship with Nana, only to be dumped a few months later after Nana found out what he did to Nicole.

Katelyn and Lucinda are dating, they are girlfriends, they are in love. They don't stay that way to graduation, but they are in the beginning.

Sasha and Zenix are also a couple, though it's toxic as hell and they lowkey hate each other. Gene also hates both of them, still bitter and stuck on high school. They still hang out, claiming to be friends, but it's very toxic and won't last.

And if you read all the way down here- what majors/minors do the characters take in college/university? What do you think they would take?
