Review of Kamigami no Asobi

'Nother late night review after finishing an anime in a day. Nothing like it. YOSH! Let's get started The story is incredible. Probably one of my favourite anime's in my list (and that's saying... a decent amount.) Being a lover of all things mythological, I came into this with mixed feelings. Generally, with any story involving myths, things tend to get twisted up. This being a semi-harem/romance anime, you can expect them to as well. I was incredibly surprised when I watched this and not only was the mythology nearly SPOT ON, but the way they tied it into the story was quite a miraculous feat. I leftit with a great, happy feeling and I'm hoping they create a second season for it (it's that good).

Being a recent anime (2014 made I believe) the art was fantastic as well. The God's transformations into their true form was miraculous each time it occurred, and the effects in the fight scenes were not lacking either.

The characters are GODS! What's not to like? And not just self-righteous, douchey gods either. They're rather innocent and are greatly affected by their various roles and their past. You find their back-stories (taken almost directly from mythology) to be spot on and make you really feel for the characters themselves.

All-in-all, it's a wonderful anime with an abundance of great characters, effects and a story-line that WORKS to boot. I encourage anyone who's thinking of watching this to do so. If you enjoy mythology as well, you won't be disappointed.

Overall rating: 9/10
