Synopsis

Samatarou is not just an average high-school boy, the truth is that he is the son of a god, his mother is a goddess and his sisters are candidates to become goddesses. They are living in the human world, because they want their boy to learn about the human customs and the habits of the creatures that they are protecting, so that in this way Samatarou will become a better god. Tenko is a angel assigned to look after Samatarou. She's born the same day, same year as Samatarou and have been close friends ever since. Life seems normal but things start to change with the appearance of a transfer student named Kumiko. Samatarou falls in love with her and from now on, things will be a lot more different for him. His decision of making her fall in love with him without using his powers will put him in trouble.

I Love The Anime
If In Clay From Outer Cover and the scorenya Not convincing But when I try to watch Justru unexpected.

Character design, cutting each scene and placing sounds to the atmosphere that is given is not perfect
But more value than this anime is a rather unique storyline where serious scenes are mixed with comedy atmosphere.

This anime tells a family of gods who are trying to live in the human world
And among the members of the god's family there was an angel who loved one of the family members there, knowing that this angel was from birth to adulthood raised there and the family member ...

We all take things for granted, be it the fact that we live in a comfortable, large house, or that we have caring relatives and friends who all care very much about us. We never really stop to look at the bigger picture, seeing just how much is behind our lives and how much we are supported even without realizing it. Kamisama Kazoku (God/Divine Family) is a story about... well, family, as the name suggests. It raises questions like what really makes a family, and how important family actually is. But it's not only about that, it's also explores relationships and maturity, and how they ... go hand-in-hand as you come of age. The anime tells this tale of a divine family, living among humans so that their children will learn what humans are like and how they interact and help one another, so that they in turn will become great gods themselves one day. The family's only son, Samatarou, was granted a guardian angel at birth, who would stay by his side until the day that he would finally become independent. This guardian angel, Tenko, becomes much like a twin sister to Samatarou as they grow up, so much that he begins to despise her constant nagging tendencies in his high school days. However, as they encounter strange, unexpected experiences and situations together, their relationship changes, and Samatarou learns to both not only regret taking things for granted, but also see things in a new light like he'd never done before.

Story (8/10): Kamisama Kazoku is split up into three story arcs, all of which highlight a different obstacle that our cast finds themselves in. These situations are mysterious and supernatural, and require a degree of maturity and acceptance to overcome. These story arcs are cohesively tied together and frequently reference each other, enhancing the plot as a whole. My gripe about the way they set this up is that some of these story arcs have strange loopholes and unexplained plot conveniences, however these are infrequent and the majority end with a very sensible conclusion despite the situation being fairly mysterious and confusing at first glance. The last story arc becomes a little dark, especially towards the end, but in my opinion it worked great, and definitely gave these characters their final push towards becoming better people. The story overall is charming and is especially enjoyable with such a colorful cast of characters.

Art (8/10): I am biased with it comes to this anime's animation and artstyle. To most, it may seem overly simplistic and outdated, but I personally love it. The character design, particularly with our two main characters, is really appealing and charming and I really liked it. Again, this is very opinionated, as the animation is still quite old (a decade old, in fact!) obviously making it inferior to anime these days. However, the gag/comedic moments are all animated well for it's time and just make this anime's atmosphere a lot lighter.

Sound (7/10): The sound in this show was good. The sound effects themselves were fairly subpar, but they managed to do their job decently which is really all that matters. The voice acting is excellent, no complaints with that. The opening and ending themes are both great, especially the opening theme! It's super catching and groovy, and wouldn't mind listening to it again at all.

Character (9/10): I absolutely loved the characters in this show. Samatarou's family are all hilarious and charming, especially his mom and older sister. They never felt stale or uninspired to me, and they were caring and thoughtful at times when it really mattered. Samatarou at first is selfish, distant, and mean to his family members, including his guardian angel Tenko, but he grows fundamentally as a person throughout the series and learns to see that these people are more than just cardboard cutouts; they have feelings and they genuinely care about him, something which he's taken for granted for many years. Tenko is also a great character in my opinion, she's caring but also a little tsundere (they both are as a matter of fact) but at no point is it over the top. She herself matures and learns to accept that even though they aren't officially related to you, people can be your family as long as they care about you.

Enjoyment (9/10): I really liked this anime. It was charming, funny, dramatic, and romantic and times when it needed to be and had a brilliant conclusion that gave everyone a happy ending and resolved the love troubles and doubts between the two main characters. The anime may be confusing at times, since the story arcs that make it up are generally pretty random and strange to begin with, but as they start to make sense, they become very enjoyable and a blast to watch through. The cast of characters was fairly small, but they all played their part well and aided the story in their own way.

Overall (9/10): If you have the time and you're a fan of comedy, romance, family chemistry/relationships, character development, drama, supernatural themes, and just plain charm, you should definitely check out Kamisama Kazoku. It was captivating until the very end, where I believe it had it's strongest point, and then concluded wonderfully. At times it may be a little frustrating or confusing, but the payoff is definitely worth it. And, although this may be a bit of a spoiler, it's one of the few anime I watched where the childhood friend actually wins! =O (you should probably watch this for that reason alone)

Mixed Feelings

I watched this show while at the same time mocking it... there were just too many scenes that were pathetically done. This show is about the son of god whom is living in the human world to learn more about them so that one day he'll become the perfect god with the understanding of human beings, thus training. He appears to be 15, so of course; he's going to a high school. He has a companion, an angel who helps/guides him while he's training to become this perfect god. The angel appears to be madly in love with the son of god. Kamiyama, the son ... of god, instead ignores these oblivious love warnings by the angel. The story follows arcs, different story's every 2-3 episodes, that consist of the angel and Kamiyama doing ridiculous acts together.

Story: I thought the story had a unique feel to it; never had I seen such a story like this. Unfortunately, I have many times seen horrible set ups to story's that had potential; this show is one of them. The story set up was excessively corny, and like I had stated; I mocked the show while watching it due to it's unprogressive feel.

Art: The art was decent, enough for me to tolerate. The shows art appeared to me as a 2003 anime with good quality. The art definitely didn't compare to some other anime's that were produced in 2006. But as I stated, decent.

Sound: For the most part, the music was dreadful. A riven prying it's way into hell. There was only one piece of music/sound that I did particularly enjoy, which constituted this "high" score of 5. I'm not sure what it's called, but it appeared in the later episodes. The clip of music was in the "episode recap" right before the actual show began.

Character: We have a blue haired dumb ass, a pink haired girl who resembles a devil more than anyone in the show, a mother with a sexual attraction to her son, and a god who can't do shit. You'd think being the son of god you'd have at least a small amount of magical power... no, of course not. Kamiyama appears to react to the exact same alarming sequences a normal human would... Kamiyama is a human. The whole entire show was compiled of idiotic powerless labels.

Enjoyment: Just because I'm giving the show a "6" doesn't mean that it was good, at all. The anime really only amused me by comedy, as every scene in this show needed someone laughing at it. Very little was put into this show... and even though it made me laugh, it made me laugh for the wrong reasons. I give enjoyment "6" because the anime made me laugh.

Overall: This show was quite mediocre but managed to not completely fail due to it being so mediocre that it was funny. I wouldn't recommend this anime to somebody who has a similar taste in anime with me. I typically enjoy serious anime's over comedy's. This anime... wasn't serious in the least bit. But if you like comedy's, if you like anime's without structured plots, then go crazy with Kamisame Kazoku.
