[New][April 2019] Midnight Occult Civil Servant - Charming and Subtle

How to solve a shit-ton of anime and horror plots.
My man Seo has you covered.

Last Seen: Episode 2

Summary: [Quoted from Crunchyroll (They actually wrote a good summary for once!)]
When Miyako Arata joins the Shinjuku Ward Office, he thinks he's gotten a normal civil servant job. But it turns out he's joined the Night Community Exchange Department, one of which operates secretly in each of Tokyo's twenty-three ward offices. Their job is to resolve occult issues concerning non-human beings. Accompanied by his senpai and department head Sakaki Kyoichi and the occult obsessed Himetsuka Seo, they work night after night, facing beings whose existence defies the laws of our world.

First Impression: Extremely calm and charming. I already liked it within the first 5-10 minutes.

My Opinion: There hasn't really been a lot to talk about for a while...is what I would like to say, but honestly I've been watching a bunch of good shows, and just forgot to post anything here about them. But I loved this show so fast that it made me hyped enough to remember this is a thing I'm suppose to be doing. Woops.

ANYWHO.

Charming. Calm. Normally, when you introduce the supernatural to your character for the first time, they freak out. That our protagonist didn't, was unexpectedly refreshing. I hadn't realized how tired and old that was getting. Having a common response is one thing, have literally no other kind of response in every single story, is aggravating. Viva La Trope, I guess?

Regardless, the story seems quite good and well thought out, but that could just be me really appreciating that it's so calm and soothingly paced. It has only been two episodes after all.

Regardless, just for being inspiring enough to get me to write again, and that I've got a good feeling about this one, (better start digging my own grave now that I've jinxed it), this show gets a high-speed:

Recommendation 

With no strings attached. That hasn't happened in a while without getting me super hyped up like Shield Hero did.
