Cat God

A fun, light hearted romp that takes Japanese Folklore and adds a modern day twist.

The main characters are very likable and grow during the series. There are some very endearing moments and you might shed a tear or two, but for the most part, it's a light hearted comedy. There is a bit of drama here and there, and one or two (bloodless, G-rated) fights. Not really any "fan service", so you can watch this with your children.

Mayu is our irresponsible Cat God heroine that gets booted from the celestial realm to live on earth with Yuzu. Yuzu is a young orphan human girl who runs the antique shop left to her by her parents. You'll learn a lot more about both of them during back flashes in later episodes.

Along the way you'll meet the Sun Goddess, Moon God, Inari's fox attendants, the god of poverty, the cherry blossom goddess, a dream eater, a ghost cat, and a demon rat or two...

There are several "threads" of story line, and as I mentioned the characters and their relationships evolve. There is no GIANT plot, but there is progression -- so its best to watch the episodes in order.

The animation style is a bit simple, but it's very clear (especially in HD) and fits the story well. It's has a pretty modern feel to it, like Lucky Star for example. It's not hyper realistic, and there is a minimum of computer aided 3D.

The music is pretty stock for 2010s Anime, the ending credit song is catchy, the incidental music fits the scenes well. Probably not a soundtrack CD you'd go out and buy though.

This review is written after watching 10 episodes.

if you are wondering what this show is about, a group of adolescent cat girls, each representing a different asian deity, get together and mayhem ensues. that's about it. sounds just like galaxy angel, right? maybe we will have an enemy of the week too.

now, the show is not that bad. the characters are all cute. the fundamental storyline is about the orange hair girl in the center of the series picture. she was kicked out of her house for being bad. now she lives on earth as punishment and other beings come to visit her. Obviously, only one episode was released, but I am writing this review to let others know what they are getting into. If you are looking for the newest anime sleeper hit, it's not here. This series seems to be aimed at younger children but be sure to check back after three or four episodes, the recipe for fun is here, the only problem is with the script.

Hi everyone, it been a long time since my last review so lets get started with an anime close to my heart. Ok this is really the only one I found vaguely interesting of the new line up and only because I love catgirls, but hey, I was spending this week obsessing about england so, what do you expect.

Initial reactions are bad. The animation is horrible. I can only assume its a budget constraint because they are barely using the basic requirements here. I've seen american shows on adult swim that have more transitional scenes that this shows opening had.

The Opening! The opening is where you dump about a quarter of your budget because it takes up 2 minutes of every episode. This one was active and enjoyable. Made me smile thats for sure, but terrible animation took away from that somewhat.

But I must admit, using the power of a god to find where you misplaced something, pretty darn hilarious.

Definately a strange one, I was skeptical up until The God of Poverty Shamo apeared. She was just so cute and sad love was bound to happen.

This is another slice of life type show. its nothing you haven't seen before but it does have a couple really good jokes and shamo is so cute I'm giving it 4 stars in character for that alone.

Music was decent but nothing to write home about.

The was no storyline really, but for a single episode storyline not too bad.

Overall, the good far outweighs the bad. If you can get past the animation then no problems here.
