I guess starting this series was OK. There was definitely a lot of cuteness expected, however, I didn't like how it started out and instantly Yurie said that she became a God.
It kinda happened too fast x.x

Damnit! Don't die without my permission!

As a self-proclaimed slice-of-life connoisseur, I thought it was as perfect as an introductory episode can be. Introduced the main cast, showcased lovingly detailed scenery, supported by gentle and laid-back music, and a hint of Yurie's god abilities. It's so charming, and revels in its simplicity. It reminds us to never lose that child-like wonder with the world.

Cute episode... unfortunately for me not to have time for this when it aired. So now I can finally watch it :)

The endless debate between fans and haters. At one point, after spending a lot of time on MAL, you just realize it's totally pointless.

Indeed, even considering it's a 2005 TV anime the picture is very, very beautiful.

Wow that was pretty fantastic. Felt like I was watching a movie, and it's only the first episode. Hopefully the quality is consistent throughout the series, I have high hopes for this one.

First episode was great, things picked up fast.

The scene at the end where she is floating down from the sky with him, so cute. The animation for this is also really fluid and great looking, it looks like it could pass as a show for the current season, but it came out in 2005.

Beginning was very charming, I'm hoping the rest doesn't disappoint.

This came out in 2005? God damn, the animation is fantastic. It was a bit jarring how she said she was a god at the very beginning and we, at least so far, haven't found out how this happened. But, I couldn't help but find this first episode charming all the same.

Glad I finally found the time to watch this. So that's how it happens, eh? You go to bed as a middle-school student and wake up as a god.
Please don't feed the trolls!

Shoujo, Slice of life, two of my favorite genres. Added with mystery and sci-fi makes it even better!
I like the episode so far, the main girl is sort of weird, but likeable.
You can't even tell it's from the 80's, but maybe it will become clear in the next episodes.

lol at the last scene where Yurie said, "Don't depend on me so easily!", " A god can have it tough too!"..
well it was funny how she ran up and said it.

anyways looking forward the rest of the season.

Wow. First of all I love the artstyle and the character animation is unique and fluid.
Went into this knowing nothing about it.
I was surprised by the supernatural elements.
Loved this episode.

First minute of the episode and she's already a goddess or deity. Nice!

Coz he's right here! ...and he's fresh out of mercy.

A rather nice anime. I really like the animation in this and the story is something I've not seen too: a junior school girl waking up to become a god.

The animation in this show is great. However, I think the start was a bit too fast. They're probably going to explain later how she became a goddess all of a sudden tho.
That "you're already dead" was pretty meaningful to me. Maybe it has something to do with her situation now?
Also, how come she became a goddess and yet everybody's cool with it? Maybe it's the same reason why there's so many supernatural beings around and nobody seems to care. I'd say maybe they don't see them, but it seems unlikely.

The first 30 seconds, wherein Yurie nonchalantly states she's a god, killed me.
Around eight minutes in I suddenly realized that I loved the music and art/animation: especially for the hair and backgrounds. Amazing.

I can't decide if I like this more than Spirited Away. It's certainly longer, and the 3 days I watched it is easily the most memorable days of my life.

Looking at the staff page, why are there so many pp on the Key Animation positions??

The fansub that subtitled it in my country did everything together, I don't know if it's in order (I think so). I'm going to watch the 16 episodes, but I'm not going to add the specials.

I definitely wasn't expecting her to actually have powers. I thought this was going to be a series about a delusional teenage girl and the shenanigans she gets into but turns out this about an actual god and the shenanigans she gets into.

Which is fine because this series is kind of irritating me with the way characters talk and act. They talk so fucking slowly and move like they've hitting the sake early in the morning. It's annoying to me because slice-of-life shows that do this, usually do it to pad out the runtime because they don't have anything interesting to show.

So far, so good.

Where should I start?
II guess I'll just say this:

This anime is just the way I like my coffe:
Sweet, warm and with a slighty bitter taste of nostalgia

Soft and calming atmosphere, kind and naive characters, simple art yet very livid, full of symbolism and I'm just getting started but I'll stop now since is just the first episode.
I also loved that ED..

I have a feeling that this is going to be those shows that you wish they didn't had an end..
And I hope this becomes true..

That was one heck of a first episode:
- Protagonist already claims to be a god without explanation right in the first screens (and she is actually a god).
- She inadvertently causes a typhoon and it is named after her by meterologists.
- She saves the town and confesses to the guy she likes (but the guy is dense as a black hole).
- Becomes famous throughout the town and recognized as a god.

Well, it's been 1.5 years.

Here again, trying to finish this once and for all and my opinion has not changed. Great OST. Good character interaction. Hitsuboshi is a sweetheart too. But yes, she really is God. It's crazy. What a way to open up the story too lol. Good good episode.

I love how in these old anime you can feel the love and care put into art and animation.

Quite a lot of stuff happened in this single episode lol.
