Plot Overview:

After Nanami's father ran away due to gambling debts and being evicted from her apartment, Nanami met a strange man, Mikage, who is afraid of dogs. She saved Mikage from a dog and tells him her story. He gave Nanami his house as a thank you for saving him. Nanami accepts the offer because she is homeless. After that she was then greeted by both Onikiri and Kotetsu. She met Tomoe whom she starts falling in love with but he rejects her because the love between a human and a yokai is too taboo. Despite saying that, Tomoe finds himself falling in love with her too.

Story:

10/10

I have to admit that the story of Kamisama has a bit resemblance of Inuyasha's story. Why? First is that when Nanami fell in love with Tomoe (A Demon) is the same thing when Kagome fell in love with Inuyasha (Also a Demon), Second is about Tomoe's past when he fell in love with a human girl and also his wish to be a human to be with the girl she loves. It is also the same thing with Inuyasha when he wants to be a human to be with Kikyo (Those who watched Inuyasha will understand what I am saying). Their are also some differences of the two anime and that is Kamisama is a bit reverse harem and a super comdey series! What I like in the whole series is that there are many demon guys who surrounded by her and getting her attention (but I think all of them like her XD) Well, the last episode of this series is actually not the end. If you want to know more about the story I suggest you need to read the manga.

Animation:

8/10

The animation is good, not that bad but I'm not satisfied

Sounds:

10/10

I love the music in the whole series especially the Opening and the Ending song. It's a bit ancient music but it really suits the anime. If you notice the Opening Song of Kamisama, you can see that the lyrics is really dedicated to the anime

Characters:

9/10

Yeah, I totally love the characters except for the female protagonist. She's a bit annoying XD but all of the demon characters in the whole series are the best!

Overall:

10/10

I really recommended this to everyone especially those who love romantic comedy anime series. I like the story even though its a bit similar to Inuyasha's story but I think all of you will love this one. There are so many twists in the whole story. For me, the manga is more interesting than the anime of this one because we will know about the past of Tomoe.
