Review of Kyousougiga

If you have ever taken a mythology course or simply read some stories about ancient creationist myths, then you are familiar with accepting the way things happen with no real deep explanation as to why. We accept great happenings as being okay because usually they involve gods or very simply the notion of them is so charming or ridiculous that we let it slide for the enjoyment of the story. Kyousougiga most resembles what seems like its' own creation myth. This is a story involving gods, and multiple planes of existence, jumping across dimensionsand cosmic stewards that manage the universe. With 10 episodes, the reason for why these things exist or how certain laws govern the world of kyousougiga are left unexplained. This left me unfulfilled at first but then I came to terms with what kyousougiga was trying to accomplish, and that they do it very well.

While I felt swept along at a fast pace with very little to go off of, it did not change the fact that I greatly enjoyed everything else about this show and its overall themes and mood. The art is busting with energy, chaotic and colorful. Characters are endearing as well developed as much as they can in 10 episodes. The music is often repetitive simply restyling the same tune for different moods but it still conveys emotion effectively. The only real reason it loses points here and there is from its length which I think could have been extended a couple episodes to allow for a little more development of the plot and characters.

Kyousougiga tells a story that I really haven't really seen done before (at least in anime) and for that I recommend this roller coster of an anime.
