Tsugumomo (manga, 2007) is like a simplified, coarser sibling of Monogatari Series (light novel, 2006) with more conventional art and writing. I wouldn't call it a clone both have source material of similar age, both actively publishing still. The similarities in world, characters and premise are stunning nevertheless and run down to small details.
This is particularly true for the supernatural partner of MC. Both Kiriha and Shinobu are females bound with a master-servant pact and nearly one with their partners. Both change age appearance according to power level, and are in loli form most of the time. Both shows have harems made of humans and supernatural entities, including multiple lolis. Tsugumomo has dumber sexualization with a episodic bed and bath ecchi (and penis jokes) segments where Monogatari more refined ecchi moments.
Overall, Tsugumomo is a much lighter and easier watch, at popcorn level. Both shows are different enough to enjoy both universes nevertheless.

Kagami Kazuya's most treasured possession in the world is the obi left to him by his late mother. The scent of cherry blossoms infused into it helps him through his day, but he never expected it to save his life, becoming a beautiful kimono-clad girl who calls herself an artifact spirit. Her name is Kiriha, tsukumogami of the sash, who naturally moves in with him, as he is her owner. Throw in his bespectacled childhood friend Chisato who meddles in his affairs, an overprotective older sister who wants to take baths with him, a busty priestess, a seductive sorceress named Kokuyoura, and Kazuya's life has just gotten a lot more interesting.

Excellent title. Thoroughly enjoyed the characters and the development, nice plot keeps you very engaged and PLENTY of fan-service (pick up the uncensored blu-ray). Also good laughs and pleasing character design! Recommended!

Classic harem, and a decent one at that. Definitely recommended if you need a change from all the isekai stuff. Also, the fanservice is fairly light. The "heavy" fanservice consists of about one bath cutesy bath scene per episode.

One of those spiritual-themed ecchi school animes, of which there are a handful out there. This one pretty much plays by the same rules: a lot of fanservice, decent-to-good comedy, a relaxing, if thin, plot, and a naive male lead. One thing that in my opinion stands out in this anime are the characters' ages. Most of them are middleschoolers, or resemble middleschoolers, but still engage in quite wild fanservice, including bed scenes in the nude. Considering that this is a shounen mainstream TV show, it may sound and appear inappropiate to some viewers, so discretion is advised. Otherwise, this watch is decent enough to still enjoy it.
Needless to say, this is for ecchi fans.

This series is a simple and fun watch with many cheesy and ecchi moments. While this is a fun anime, the fanservice is high... just be aware of that.

It's unexpectedly a pretty fun watch. The fan service is pretty high tho, be careful when watching it.

I wanted to write a proper review for this show, but I couldn't get my wording straight, so I'll settle for this. Basically, this show's a mix of shounen-battle-action and ecchi. It only covers the 'character introduction' arc from the manga, so it's light on story (though has a decent amount of action). What I really liked about this show was Kiriha (the obi) and her dynamics with both Kazuya and Kukuri (the local kami). Overall, this show's nothing special... But for me, it was one of the best of the season. I seriously hope they produce a second one to justify all the character intro done in this season.

They avoid the tsundere`s combative and occasionally immature demeanor; rather, they are hard to approach because they are `cool`-headed: often cynical, casually blunt and dismissive.

The short sidelocks ("hime locks") can be accompanied by longer sidelocks behind the hime locks, and still qualify the hairstyle as a hime cut. The defining feature is the layered or "staircase" look that is formed with the bangs and the short hime locks.
If the sidelocks are not distinct, it is likely a bob cut., katanaA type of Japanese sword, often called a "samurai sword".
