It has begun. So far I'm not feeling it, maybe because of the way Odin (I'm calling her that for now) barged in like that, not giving any reason why I should care about these characters like I did in Angel Beats, but hey it's still the first episode so let's not judge here.

For the title, The Day I Became a God, I can't tell who is this referring to. Is it Odin* or Yota? Did she come down from Asgard or is she some normal girl acquiring those powers, gaining omniscient knowledge?

Also, baseball.

1) Hina is voiced by Ayaneru
2) Script by Jun Maeda

This anime can't be bad. 10/10 first ep.

Brace for the drama impact.. I don't know where it will hit, but.. it will. It's Jun after all.

I think it's absolutely right to watch this anime after it's all out, avoiding spoilers from others and binge watch it when it ends.

My impression is still low. Its looks like all the character had the name of God, eh? Narukami? Izanami? And why Odin get the named Hina here? I don't even see any Hina name on there? Oh, well. The interaction was fine, tho, i don't find any great hype over this first episode, its even feel barren on me. But, the countdown at the end, hint something good in the end. Was that right? Idk. Sometimes its just a tease. So i keep my expectations low.

Overall, this is really far away from my early expectations. Ofc the art style was so great, and Odin personality was so refreshing. But the storyline already bored me, and i hope it had a massive twist soon. Lets see .... and, thats it for now.

Whew, luckily looks like Maeda's and Key's tendency for at least decent series is stronger than P. A.'s to make garbage. Now just hoping it's more like Angel Beats than another Charlotte.

Didn't think Odin can be that cute. Lol. Absolutely loved Hina's character.
She's funny, cute, and innocent as gods should be. Nice episode.

the premise is really interesting, but like others have mentioned i actually expected a more sombre start. hina is cute tho, izanami is gorgeous as well (i loooove her hair), MC is pretty likeable & kind-hearted, and hope we get to see more of kimura ryouhei's character as well.

i dunno why but the entire premise just feels like it's setting up to be really sad/emotional, case in point:

MaxWyght said:
Big brain time:
Youta and his friend were riding the motorbike together.

They crashed.

Youta is either dying or comatose.
Entire anime is happening inside his head while he is either dying due to blood loss, or while comatose.
The 30 days is how long he's got until they pull the plug.

^this is so good lol

excited to see how it all plays out. also that ED is really good!







but i’ll probably remember over and over again
you were there and everyone else was there

Been waiting for years and the first episode didn't disappoint. Sir Jun Maeda's works are epic and am sitting at the edge of my seat for a tearjerker ost. Promising start from PA works although I feel that they should atleast once tryout a highly invested work like Clannad...I have high expectations from Maeda's masterpiece ❤️❤️❤️

This was great in every way! What a premiere. The art and animation is what we can expect from a PA Works Original made by Jun. It was really gorgeous and so far the OST is really great as well.

I never realised that Ayane Sakura voices Odin (I mean Hina?). That just makes it already so much better.

So far the comedy is pretty solid right now! Before I would hate noisy characters like Hina (Index is the best example), but so far I quite like Hina. The way she said that the world will end in 30 days is already making me dread the end of this show. Knowing about Jun's previous works, we're in for a wild ride and honestly, I am (not) looking forward to see how this will end.

That OST though, I need that asap!

Maybe it's because we're oversaturated in action and slice of life without drama. But this anime is pretty fun, I enjoyed it a lot more than I expected.

so far 7.5/10 I can easily see this going up. At the very least it's better than Charlotte.

The first episode was so Jun Maeda like. A really solid start. Great comedy, the characters are fun and lively and great OSTs. I'm prepared for what's to come tho. Can't wait for more.

But 12 episodes? I just hope the pacing is done right this time and not have a rushed ending like Angel Beats or Charlotte (I still love those shows tho but yeah).

Damn that was a really fantastic first episode, definitely among the best this season. Hanae Natsuki really voiced 2 P.A. Works MC in a row. And Ayane Sakura voicing Hina? Good shit.

Overall that was a really funny episode, feel bad for Yota. He got rejected in the first episode lmao. Haven't watched Angel Beats or Charlotte but, I know they were kinda rushed hopefully this doesn't end with the same fate. Because, this is fantastic so far.

Didn't know this is Maeda Jun's work until I read the comments. So I have to prepare for a feelfest, huh? Here I am thinking episode 1 was pretty funny...

Ngl, Odin-chan's behavior is only cute because she's a loli in an anime. I don't think I can stand a girl like her if this is real, even if it's her powers and world-ending premonition are true.

> Narukami
> Izanami

Is this Persona 4 reference?

Also, this show seems to follow Angel Beats! kind of aesthetics.

it looks like Hina will make Youta suffer a little bit in each ep

hmmmm i'm on the fence about this one. some of the humour was genuinely good, some of it was trope-y and so cliche it made me cringe.
i like how balanced they made sato's "omniscience" feel, just enough to make you believe then a few misfires to make you sceptical again, and i like that they didn't try to cram too much down your throat in the first episode... i appreciate when anime gives you a little bit of breathing room instead of the writers panicking and trying WAY too hard to hook the audience and not lose you and end up overloading the viewer.

still, overall i'm on a 6/10 right now because i feel like this can still go either way - either be very, very good or easily devolve into something i'll drop and never think about again. i'm definitely intrigued by the mother's reaction though. i'm wondering if maybe this whole thing a "rite of passage" of sorts for their family during adolescence or something...

Poor Sato. Getting rejected by the love of your life in the very first episode must hurt. XD

Either way, this first episode was very strong, as expected from Jun Maeda and P.A. Works's previous show with Angel Beats! and Charlotte. If this series is also a one-cour, then some kind of rushed pacing will happen at some point. As long as this show delivers, like it did in this first episode, then I won't have any worries for now. =)

As for the production values, it's very top notch. Sato and Hina was very expressive and there is a good amount of fluidity in their movements. Not to forget, the background scenery is absolutely gorgeous, which is something P.A Works does excellently.

I think this ride will be a pretty memorable and, hopefully, a positive one, too.

First episode starts off with "Odin" sitting in a director's chair as she reminisces about memories. I feel like there's foreshadowing here already...

I just found a PV that I missed: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fpLmg2_BpK0
Looks like you're right about what they're going to do.

Yeah, I figured it was about that as soon as I saw that PV. We'll just have to wait and see how exactly the imagery will be incorporated into the story.

I have a big ass stretch from something I saw in PV 3.

This was something I thought about as well when I saw that PV. I kinda wish I didn't see it, because this one seems a bit more spoilery than I'd want, but hey, who knows? It'd be interesting and also make this show feel closer to Charlotte if it happens.

I have no idea whether to take this threat of the world ending in 30 days seriously or not. She is very clearly predicting the future but... I just don't know. I guess that's intended to be part of the draw for this show, but I just kind of wish I knew if it were real or some delusion baked up by a girl with a terminal illness.

Hina for me was a bit annoying in this episode, but her chemistry with Youta worked well-enough.
F for our boy Youta. The poor guy got heartbroken in the first episode already. That rejection was really quick.

This is so bittersweet, I'm gonna love this anime or hate it at the same time...
We are introduced to Hina, an omniscient god who showed up to a boy named Youta. She is dressed as a nun and her figure looks kinda cute. She informs our MC that the world will end in 30 days.

I'm already complaining that she is a bit loud but when she grins and smug, I say that it's hot! Of course, Youta will not believe at her instantly. We live in an era where the relevance of gods and spirits are decreasing, and it doesn't help that she's so small and bit of annoying. It took time for Youta to connect with Hina but somehow he believed in her omniscient powers. He use these prediction powers to actually win over his crush but he was rejected. (Youta, I'm telling you if she already is uninterested to you, give the F up) Yikes... hits close to home for me, heheheh.

Now this will go into a slice of life direction, and I'm interested to see where the month-long relationship of Hina and Youta go. That drama tag is making me sweaty though.

We will be here in this story until the end of the world.

Here's what I think the setup is going to be:

Girl is actually gonna die in 30 days (that's why she says the world is gonna end in 30 days)
She has a brain tumor or something that causes her intelligence to be enhanced in some way (wacky anime stuff)

She is also probably Youta's cousin or someone from his past that he can't remember

His mom probaby agreed to let her stay because she knew about her circumstances (maybe her parents died recently, and she was close or knew about her family)

This show belongs in the late 00s, early 10s era since it really did feel like that given how it was written and executed as a premiere like Clannad and Angel Beats.

I'm not a Key fan and this premiere doesn't change that. Kyouko is okay but Key has too many stoic girls like her and Hina is annoying for me with her dribble, although thats just personal taste.

The pacing was solid and soothing and the music was well composed, but I just don't buy into the story and even more the cast. The comedy fell flat for me too unlike the Angel Beats comedy moments which had some gold in it even when I don't like that show.

An amazing episode in my opinion. The characters that they introduced so far are really likeable, especially Youta. Hina's blunt and loud personality might be annoying to some, but I personally didn't have many issues with it.

Now, let's see how far the show will go into its concept, characterization and storytelling. It might be too early to say this, but I think this show has the potential to be the best of the season.
