Synopsis

When he was a child and out catching bugs, Jin Mikuriya fatefully encountered a deity, which became the inspiration for his newest piece of art: The Tree Spirit. Trying to think of a way to bring the wooden statue to school, Jin believes that the rest of the day will be spent admiring his work. But before he can even lift it, the sculpture begins to absorb the earth around it and explodes into a cute girl!

The girl, Nagi, who introduces herself as a guardian of the earth, proclaims that Jin must help her get rid of the "impurities" that plague the land. But alas, due to Nagi's tree being cut down and her powers completely drained, she finds herself cleansing the impurities with only a magical wand! With their lives now intertwined, Jin and Nagi find ways to learn more about one another through the endless amounts of daily antics.

I just finished Kannagi in 2024 and this harem comedy, while obviously a bit dated today has so much charm and timeless humor. The comedy in this show is top notch and the characters are surprisingly well developed and varied for an anime in this genre. The voice acting and writing are subtle yet so good, there were just so many good lines in this show. My personal favorite, “It’s a Sony”. The opening song and animation just grab your heart with moe and make you feel good. There is fan service as expected but it’s tasteful compared to most ecchi, Kannagi gives the impression ...

Mixed Feelings
Kannagi is a very deceptive show. It starts out making you think it's going to have a big focus on the plot but quickly turns into a slice of life comedy with some strange harem vibes.

(Some spoilers)

The premise is fairly straightforward. High schooler Jin makes a wood sculpture that turns into Nagi, a goddess in the flesh. She moves in with him and they set out to figure out her purpose in this world.

Once the basic premise is laid out, this anime takes a U-turn and instead focuses more on the character interactions and comedic situations. Don't get me wrong, I like well written ...

Kannagi is a little deceptive kind of series: it may look like fantasy at first, yet soon it ends up a harem/moe comedy with insignificant fantasy elements, and well, it isn't nearly as good as some people make it out to be.

STORY & CHARACTERS
First, the major part of the "plot" is taken up by endless dialogues about nothing at the pace of a crippled snail. Perhaps, fans of K-On! and similar series may enjoy that, but I personally consider it to be nothing more than a boring waste of time.
Second, the "story" is essentially a generic harem with your cookie-cutter boy-protagonist who allows a girl ...

Top 15 Anime Gods and Goddesses

Scores of anime characters can level mountains, resurrect the dead, or perform similar feats but few possess the level of power necessary to truly be called a god. From warping reality as they see fit to changing the course of history for fun, these deities can influence whole worlds on a whim.
