Kamichu! – Review

Title: Kamichu! aka Kamichu! ~ Kamisama de Chuugakusei
Episodes: 16
Company: Brains Base
Genre(s): Comedy/Drama
Air Dates: 29 Jun 2005 – 28 Sep 2005

Synopsis: One morning, Hitotsubashi Yurie wakes up to find out that she has become a deity, and with that, her life suddenly opens up to a whole new world as she uses her powers to help people and spirits alike. Although being a goddess does come with its perks, Yurie must still struggle through the basic things that junior high school students deal with, including trying to get Ninomiya Kenji’s attention as she works up the courage to confess her feelings for him.

Pros:

  • Characters are enjoyable for the most part with Matsuri being the clear winner
  • Comedy usually hits the mark rather well and Matsuri’s schemes are hilarious
  • Spirits make a great addition the setting

Cons:

  • Yurie’s not that interesting of a character
  • Episodes that journey out of Yurie’s hometown isn’t too compelling

Review: My review on the Nihon Review.

Score: Good

Sailing on to new horizons (or I've been poached!)

Well, the cat is out of the bag as it were and for the 3-odd people I know in real life who actually read my ramblings, I’ve already told two of you but I might as well break the entire story. If you have gone to visit the Nihon Review website, you will have seen that I’ve been recently been accepted as a staff member doing anime reviews over there. Now while that might normally be seen as a negative for this particular site, we did work out a deal where I can still continue contributing to this space. So let me entail what my feelings are on the matter and how this event affects AnimeInstrumentality.

First off, I have a great deal of respect for the staff members at the Nihon Review. Of all the anime review sites that I’ve visited, there aren’t any that can match the Nihon Review in terms of structure, analysis, and the quality of the writing. Read More »
