This sure was a cute start :3 quite liking the concept of what looks to be a normal school girl being a sort of god, the confession was also pretty nice and well I wonder what the series has to offer us! Let's see what's next.

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.

It looks really good for a 2005 anime
Dub = fake crap. Always.

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.

This came out in 2005? God damn, the animation is fantastic.

right? That was really good, movie-tier.
"In the past few months since we met, I've shared many memories with Nagato. Though I've also shared memories with Haruhi, Asahina-san and Koizumi, I found that I've experienced more events with Nagato in particular. In fact, every situation seems to involve her. I might as well mention this, she's probably the only person to cause the bell within me to shake the most vigorously..." ~ Kyon, TMOSH

the animation for this looked so nice.
besides that, nice episode, love the relaxing atmosphere, and that scene where she and ninomiya were floating in the air was great.

Relaxing fluffy start! Definitely expecting something that will put me at ease after many depressing anime I've watched lately

Well that was a good start. The Artwork is really Good. The simplicity of this anime is what i liked the most so far. And that little mix of Ayakashi is making it even more fun to watch.

I love this, I really do.

The pacing, atmosphere and creativity shown in this episode make this exactly the kind of SoL anime I like.

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??

"Ufotable does great animation!"
Yeah, if you count standing around talking, and a few frames of head tilting.
THIS is real animation, people. So much expressive animation.

I'm really impressed by this, it indeed felt like watching a movie.

One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron

This was really cute, although I would've preferred it if there wasn't a male love interest so it could turn into a yuri instead. Really like the art style.

Watching Order: It works best to include the Specials when viewing, it's in the More Info tab at the Specials page.

A terrific show! Everything about it is good. From 16 years ago but aged very well.

I liked the first episode. It's very calm and relaxing, just the way I like it.
And what a good production, very fluid animation.

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.

Looks like our MC is an airbander xD
