Kamisama Hajimemashita

It would be really cool if you have a chance to become a diety or god of something. Most of us will imagine doing everything we want to do, making everyone follow or do our every whims and wishes. From nothing to something. This is what happened to Nanami Momozono in Kamisama Hajimemashita. One day, she’s being evicted from her own home because of her father’s debts and had gone MIA ever since. The next day, she becomes a replacement diety of Earth.

It was not a dream come true to Nanami because, first, the original diety of earth left his own temple and the familiar, the handsome fox demon Tomoe, doesn’t like her one bit. It’s okay because she has a new place to stay and the food they serve her is great (even gives her a bento box for lunch), the only problem is…Nanami fell in love with Tomoe. It’s okay if they were normal human beings but Nanami, even though she’s a diety, she’s just a human being and Tomoe is a demon fox.

I had a lot of laughs when Mizuki (the familiar that was also a white snake but his diety passed away) and Kurama (the very popular, conceited idol who calls himself fallen angel but is really a crow demon) joined in. These two added lots of colors to the story, including the part where Tomoe is obviously jealous if any of the two are making a move to Nanami..either to eat her or to win her heart.

This is a very unique, funny and light anime, Kamisama Hajimemashita, (don’t forget the opening song..it’s very peaceful). If you would like to watch something fresh, although it aired on October 2012 to December 2012 for the first season, this is the best anime I can recommend for you. It’s not heavy on the drama but it’s got substance. Though, Tomoe might resemble InuYasha for being a hard-headed, hot-headed, demon with a white hair and Nanami as Kagome because of their spirits and look-alikes from the past (which happened to be the ex girlfriends of their current love interest), the storyline is very different.

Because of the anime’s success, Kamisama Hajimemashita released their second season last January 5,2015 to March 30, 2015 for twelve episodes and third season from August 2015 to (currently airing) August 2016.
