Don't let the score sway you, as this anime is actually good. With the age of oversaturated isekai, KamiKatsu is a breath of fresh air because it doesn't take itself seriously but somehow is one of the most interesting anime I have seen in a while. It confuses me how this has a 6 out of ten without people giving it a chance, this anime is for a more older audience and has ecchi comedy in it which makes it hilarious but also has a serious plot that is intriguing.

The anime starts off normally then it is shown that he is teleported into a world with no god or sense of god, that does public executions for no reason, and it is accepted, but he befriends the outcasts that fear death. It is later revealed that two people he met will be killed, so he rushes to save them but ends up dying as well. However, he summons a loli god that revives and saves them and to save the world his goal is to gain followers for the god, so they can make the world better. It’s hilarious as they get up to antics, and the not so pg humor makes it so funny. After, the 2nd episode it went from not expecting much to wanting more of it and the parody element makes it so much better as it’s not trying to be overdone like the rest.

For 3 episodes the anime gave more than an average 12 episode series would do, because the anime has everything; comedy, fanservice, fantasy, isekai, unique plot, a love interest that doesn’t get recognised. This anime is like if you combined Shimoneta with an isekai, my hopes for the anime are high because the capital of the city poses a threat which has robotic enemies that have a unique character design; it is a very promising anime that could be one of the best for the year. This anime did everything right for me that there is never a dull moment, and many questions as well to keep you watching.

It even has a backstory that is related to his goals, as his father was a cult leader that built a religion, which is a good way to build character as we get to know more about the protagonist making him not just a generic protagonist. Only thing that I could pick out that was not so good, is the character by the name of Roy; as he gets converted to the first character, this guy becomes a super ultra simp that is even down bad for the loli god which I guess what comes with having this character type in anime. He can be annoying at the start as it could turn others off from watching, but not that bad, so I looked past it. The anime overall is very enjoyable, it is not too nsfw that it makes it weird, it just has crude jokes and fan service which can be good for an older seinen audience.

The loli god named Mitama, is a funny character as well; other than her appearance which can be questionable in some scenes as she is a loli. However, I liked this character as they make a good character to be a god as they have the smug over confidence then get shut down making humorous scenes, when she uses her power to bring the village into a new age her appearance looking disheveled also makes her a hilarious character which isn’t bad like Roy. I would like to see more of her powers and get into the action scenes later in the anime, as the character abilities and designs are super cool and unique, which gives the anime its own personality and vibe. I believe this anime will be very eventful, and hopefully it will get another season, however the likelihood of animes getting another season is super rare which is a shame that it will only be 12 episodes. It’s always the short anime that would make for amazing medium length series.

Isekai Anime, I purposely skip as it doesn’t really interest me as every one is usually the same, they only appeal to absolute degenerates that live NEET lives or are still young and like to see a total loser become popular, powerful and the main character. The appeal only goes so far as it stops there, they can sometimes be eye candy with overpowered fights; including an arsenal of flashy magic and no substance plot that is sometimes fueled by harems or just doing average RPG stuff. If you have seen a plethora of isekai you have seen them all, although Kamikatsu is very different as you think getting into it is going to be the usual isekai, but the guy isn’t overpowered, so he gets killed then gets a second chance. He does something meaningful and more realistic than just starting with max level having a lot of insurance which ultimately ruins the experience as expectations will always know they will win, this anime actually gives some mystery to what will happen making it an enjoyable time. I appreciate anime that like to go against the curve and try to be unique while not being afraid to stand out, which ends up with innovative pieces of fiction.

I’d recommend this anime so far for people who are of the seinen audience as it has inappropriate content, so far there are also some suspicious characters like Clen which is still mysterious that he might be a spy for the government. Bertrand is also a character that I like as they got revived by Mitama and converted to their team, then changed gender to female. They always used to be embarrassed into suspicious costumes making them fan service and also comedy but also has a lot of strength to the team as they are swords-"woman", being a masochist too, which makes for good ecchi comedy. This anime is super underrated and is getting ignored just because of its tags, however it is in my top 3 this season. Let’s hope this anime delivers.

Thanks for Reading!
