I dunno what to give this overall. I think the most positive think I can say about it is “This final episode wasn’t as bad as I was expecting”.

Show had an interesting concept but it felt like it faltered in its execution at just about every conceivable opportunity. The comedy was pretty great but the plot was all but absent until like episode 8 or 9, and by that point it was pretty obvious where things were going.

Also my goodness the romantic angle being pushed despite Hina's condition feels super icky now that we’re done.

Not really liking how forceful Youta is being honestly. He needs to calm down, and did they really just basically go straight back into wanting to film that movie? Really? Just...Felt rushed to do that in a sense, as if they didn't care about Hina's well being and just put her back into film.

The more I think about it this is "Awakenings" (the 1990 Robin Williams Robert DeNiro movie) the anime, same disease, same miracle cure, same turn at the end but with a tacky ending.

Hmmm where do I start? That wasn't as bad as I expected... or that sad. Seriously, from Jun Maeda's words I expected the worst and yes, seeing the change from the always cheerful Hima to what she became now is sad but the ending ended up being more bittersweet than sad... and even hopeful lol.

Having watched Charlotte and now this, I can say that I definitely don't like Jun Maeda's sad twists. And it's a damn shame because I loved the slice of life/comedy on both shows. This was one of my aots when it was SOL/comedy, really one of the anime I was having the most fun with this year thanks to Hina's great personality and her interactions with Yota but then came the obligatory time to make it sad and it lost all that I had loved about it. Seriously, Jun Maeda, do a SOL/comedy and stop forcing sad twists. I may not have been that much of a fan of the last few episodes but no one is going to take away the fun I had with the first 8 episodes, the "I'm so loli I could practically kill a virgin" was one of the most glorious and funny lines I have seen in anime and will always remain in my memory.

The beginning of the anime being Hina's final words got me, that shit made me shed some tears (sorry, I'm quite emotional).

I was going to say that Izanami was robbed but she actually robbed herself so whatever. Hina best girl! Another lovely performance by Ayane Sakura <3.

I liked this show more than Charlotte/10.

What happened to the "saddest anime ever made?" It was way too over dramatic, rushed and cliche. The only time I cried was Izanami's mini episode, but it's because I was personally connected to its theme's. Maybe it's because it was overhyped and I set my expectations too high, but overall I thought it was a bad show other than the great animation and pretty good op and ed. 4/10.

Well, nothing ever gonna beat the fun of Clannad first season and the sadness and tears of Clannad after story after all I guess. Please try again Maeda. Hint: you need at least 24 episodes for some proper build up so we really have time to feel for the characters.
I did not watch Charlotte but I had the same issue with Angel Beats, too short. Though that last one still manage to pull some tears from me, but not for the final, it was during the concert episode.
Either way, I thought Hina died on the couch during the movie screening because we saw her still before we got a closer look and see that she was just asleep. My subconsciousness and I expected a sad ending..

What's the goal of this anime actually? Like saddest anime ever? Huh?? It's either bait from Maeda or just it didn't work out. It's very messy. So messy.

The only good character here is Izanami and Izanami only. The only great episode is focused on Izanami. Thus the reason why she's one of the best girl this season. I did enjoy this anime alot from the beggining to Izanami episode. After that it falls flat.

Score:a generous 6.

An ok finale of a bad anime. Yota shouted at Hina again. Way to go, you idiot. And till the very end, the sister managed to get on my nerves with her constant -shi's at the end of every sentence.

The idea behind it wasn't bad at all, Hina having Logos Syndrome and the professor's cure efforts are all nice thoughts, but sadly, the execution was pretty bad.

My first complaint is characters, everyone, yes everyone, sucked. Everyone except for Hina was painfully 1D. There's Yota the creepy siscon with a typical protagonist personality, Izanami the kuudere love interest, Imuoto with a retarded way of speaking (the worst character of all), the ramen shop girl, the "adult" celebrity woman who hangs out with a bunch of kids for no reason, the best friend who is just a usual best friend, and lastly the computer kid who didn't have much screentime...

My second complaint is the story. The first 9 episodes were too disconnected that they felt like they had no purpose other than being episodic fillers. And because of that, when things got suddenly serious I just couldn't care less.

So all in all, a failed anime for me. 3/10 is the best I can do and that's because I loved the ill Hina.



I believe one day the Japanese will realise that being a siscon (or brocon) is not a good comedy material unless you're in a gag manga.
If you read Eleceed you're automatically my friend.

OMG THEY FAKED ME OUT SO HARD. xD

I thought she had died by the end of the movie.

Um....so....

The show is pretty to look at and some of the comedy was really funny. Hina is cute but Suzuki's still my favorite character. The music is lovely...and the shots of Hina hugging Youta in the sunset were really gorgeous

Overall, this is like....a VERY weak version of Air. The story is similar...but it really lacks the things that made Air so good (and so very tragic).

I did enjoy watching it...but I probably wouldn't buy the show.

Definitely missed the mark here, Maeda-san. Please keep making anime; I KNOW you can do better!! :)

What a waste of time. I was really enjoying the series because of Hina, the comedy and its characters interactions, I wish it didn't go the melodramatic route. This anime started going down when they gave us lolicon hints and started trying to force this shitty drama into the story, ruined everything for me.

didn't really appreciate the ending being so randomly unresolved with Hina being put into an environment essentially hostile to her condition.
it was incredibly sad though, it pained me to see the old Hina in the movie they'd filmed previously, and the fact that she'll probably never be the same or completely cured though.. that was bittersweet. definitely not maeda's neither saddest not best one though.

Well, I certainly fell for that bait people have been saying on these threads about this being promised as the "saddest anime ever" or something along those lines, because I've been waiting for it every week and... it never happened. I genuinely felt more emotion watching most Shounen battle series.

In particular, this ending has to be the worst episode of anime I've ever seen, not only did Yota's atrocious attempts at caregiving of a sick child somehow get legitimised in the end as magically being more effective than the actual trained professionals (seriously, does this Maeda guy despise actual doctors or something - I know people said he was sick, did they give him terrible care in the hospital and this is how he's hitting back at them?) but the anime has just completely ignored everything it told us earlier about Logos Syndrome. I mean, seriously, we have a girl who is supposed to have severe cerebral & muscular atrophy casually shooting free throws into a basketball hoop more than twice her height? The fact the disease is meant to be terminal has just been tossed aside too apparently. I really don't understand why they bothered introducing the father character to provide that information if they were then just going to completely disregard it once the chip that "cured" Hina from the condition was removed.

It's shame this selfdestructed so spectacularly in the last 3 episodes cause up until then I was reasonably enjoying it, but genuinely that was one of the worst written conclusions I've ever seen, in any media form. The fact I was falsely expecting some kind of sad ending only for them to end it on a ridiculously unrealistic (from the information the anime itself had provided) upbeat note just made it even worse.

found this more enjoyable than charlotte, but for me angel beats was sadder tbh. these last few episodes have felt so off. you never saw hina actively looking for yota at all while she was at the facility. only when he leaves then she's looking for him? also i thought that her condition made it so that she wouldn't live very long so i have to say i'm a bit confused as to why she's still alive and not really deteriorating. and honestly was expecting hina to die tbh; i really thought she died after the movie had finished and i think that would have had more of an impact. this could definitely use some kind of epilogue where hina passes away but yota continues researching her condition.

also where tf did this "saddest anime ever created" bit come from? i got a bit sad during the scene where yota and hina were hugging in the snow. the only shocking thing to me was that hina didn't die. what kind of sad anime ends with no death? & oof at whatever the hell happened with yota x izanami. seems like yota is more in love with hina after spending a month together, rather than izanami who he'd known for years and literally confessed his love to

The end of KAMISAMA NI NATTA HI.

This episode was touching, especially when Hina came running towards Youta.
When Hina called out Youta's name and walked towards him,it was so beautiful.


We had 2 insert songs played in this episode and the movie was taken so lovely!
The ending was beautiful ngl. Some episodes were rushed, yes but hey the ending was perfect.
Youta has a dream now, to cure Hina's illness no matter what and the love of Hina towards Youta motivates him.
Sayonara Hina and Youta, we had a great ride with you!

The first nine episodes were great.

Episode 5 "The Day of Grand Magic" was easily a top 5 episode of 2021, and honestly might've been my favorite singular episode alongside the end of the Ishigami arc in Love is War Season 2.

I feel like he tried too hard to be sad this time, and because it was only 12 episodes, there wasn't enough time to make it work.

I'll probably give it a 7/10 (close to an 8/10 due to Maeda bias) because the first 7 to 9 episodes were actually all 8/10 or better.

Just as I expected, the episode has reached the highest level of sadness! Youta has been discovered as an imposter and had his time cut short!

The level of depression begins when Youta is now seperated from Hina and refuse to leave Hina. Thankfully, Hina remembers and loves Youta! I really love their heartwarming moment!😫


And, now Hina is back and looks like the movie is complete! CONGRATULATIONS!!! I really love the movie scenes! Not to mention the ending of the movie is a reminiscent of the starting episode! xD

Overall, I really love the beautiful scenery at the end of the anime! I nearly cried especially the ED music played in the background! I'll give them 10/10! Sayonara Youta and Hina!

I wish people would stop with the "saddest anime of all time" plug. From what I can tell, it was only ever mentioned once indirectly in a letter in a pre-broadcast interview. Yet for some reason, people latch onto it like it's all they care about going into this show. Writers, directors, and voice actors make claims about their work all the time in these kinds of interviews. Why haven't none of the other staff been put at gunpoint to prove whatever they say? Because you obviously shouldn't.

I enjoyed this show for what it was. It was thematically more coherent than Charlotte despite its pacing issues and limited runtime.

Looks like Jun Maeda trolled us about this being "saddest anime ever". I'm glad that Hina don't have any regrets. She was able to enjoy everything, before her time as God will over. Her Grandfather able to give her a temporary life & she was able to enjoy it. It's very very good that They made a film & makes her heroine. Hina 's recording video in the end just like Izanami's mom. Goodbye God of omniscience , Thanks for giving her a life she deserves in the end.
8.1/10. It will be best if this series have more episodes , since this series mainly focused on Hina's Journey , Maeda Should have gave her more memories of events.

Was a decent anime. Will probably give it a 7. I think the end was so rushed. Would love an end where he was in the future and they both worked hard to help her come to a "normal" state. He as a research and her doing therapy every day. Was still a nice ride, dropped a tear here and there but was not even close to the saddest anime ever.

This is without a doubt the worst anime I have seen this year. It even makes Rock Climbing Girls look like a masterpiece. So why is this anime such a disappointment?

I can write a whole story about that, but the main thing is that it tried too hard to be funny, and it was just really annoying. Most of the characters added absolutely nothing to the story, which they wasted like 5 episodes on. The whole point of the show is that you are supposed to feel sorry for Hina's fate, but it just falls flat since she's not really a likeable or interesting character.

Episode 5 with Izanami's father was pretty good, which is kinda funny since he's a side-character that never got any screen time beyond that.

Nah, I'll just stick with Maeda's older works tbh.

Nope, haven't seen any of those, but I'll take your word on it.

I've "only" watched 15-20 series this year (including from other years), this one was just the least enjoyable imo. Kanokari was really cringe, but at least it was so bad that it was kinda good in a way, and it was kinda refreshing and enjoyable. But this barely has any redeeming factors, save from Izanami and episode 5.

Also, I completed Madoka Magica before seeing this final episode, which made the contrast even worse.

That shit got so dumb. Rushed as hell, forced (and very sus) romance, and just way too hard of a dumb overdramatic turn. It's a shame cause I really liked the first half cause of the comedy.

Jun Maeda really needs to stop writing stories like this, he's clearly lost his touch.

Just finished watching, currently lost for words man, crying real tears, this is quite possibly, quite literally, sincerely, one of the worst anime I have ever watched.

Though Kamisama was rushed, I think I've noticed the message behind it.

Create good memories.
Know you are creating good memories.
Understand the things you passed through.

I really appreciate these subtle spots.

Big yikes from this series, Jun. What an absolute disaster. Even Charlotte was better and that's saying something. Only Angel Beats was a "good" original despite its episode count. All these other originals have been absolute dog shit. And back from when I rated AB, compared to now, it's really not that hard to surpass it.

Because it’s trying to be a sad anime
But it is not sad at all

Maeda Jun made some very gorgeous anime before,
like I cried so hard when I watched Clannad After Story

But this is definitely the worse anime that he made.

So yeah

"The Day You Choose"...



Ngl I kinda liked this episode.
I saw a few things coming and some of those came true—namely Yota being forced out and Hina watches him and runs over to go with him. The scene looks good, major props to P.A. Works for making it look good, though I can't say I really felt something. Nice to see Hina reuniting with everyone and finishing Sora's movie though. As expected, the movie had some parallels with the actual show's story, and the very first lines of the show are reincorporated as some behind-the-scenes footage requested by Hina. The whole episode looks really nice, it's nice to see Hina within a supportive community despite her condition, and I'm surprised that the show didn't try and kill off Hina. But some parts of it feel quite underwhelming, and then after the movie the show just... abruptly ends. Just like that, just as abrupt as that sentence's end. Nice to hear Takaramono ni Natta Hi as the ED again though.


Now... as for Kamisama ni Natta Hi as a whole...



It was a bit difficult deciding on what rating to give this show. The whole show looks really nice, that one Google Images background aside, and the music is pretty great, with a few stand-out piano scores and some nice choices for the OP and EDs. The comedy can be hit-or-miss, but I did laugh a few times and that one line from Hina is probably still a highlight just for how weird that whole situation was. Is this show the worst anime of all time as some believe? For me, no. But it is certainly not "the most saddest anime of all time" as Maeda wanted it to be.
I really don't want to compare it to his past work so much, but this show does seem like the weakest of the Key-P.A. Works collaboration trio. It does not hit the feels as effectively than Charlotte (which may or may not be saying much), and is certainly nowhere near the level of Angel Beats. The characters are not as memorable as either show, with practically all of the cast other the main leads lacking any true character, beyond just being there and whatever brief development they got in the episodes where they're barely the star of the show. Some things like certain plot elements and maybe the way the show uses insert songs were executed in a way that I could tell was done to get the audience to tear up; this execution feels somewhat more manipulative than the previous two shows, and once you realize that, you don't really find yourself getting much of the intended reaction if at all. It doesn't help that some of the story felt pretty clichéd by this point either, and I feel like I have more thoughts on what this show could have been than I did with Charlotte... or even Angel Beats, a show I loved so much that I wish it had gotten the 2-cour runtime it deserves and was supposed to have gotten, and often wonder what could have happened to have its runtime cut short.

I really did have some fun with Kamisama ni Natta Hi and was really hoping it would be decent. I do not hate it, but I felt like I was really only following this show to the end just to finish something for once and not because I was actually invested into it. I couldn't decide between a 5 or a 6, so I decided to consult my anime list's ratings and see where this show would fit in my opinion. I don't feel like I would feel like revisiting it in the future like the aformentioned Charlotte or Yuki Yuna is a Hero (funnily enough, this show shares the same director as Angel Beats), as I don't think will be able to remember this show's characters and story as easily as these two. But more character-ful... uh... characters is not necessarily a plus side, as Mirai or AnoHana tried to do this with its characters and I enjoyed those anime way less than this one.

So I guess Kamisama ni Natta Hi gets a 5/10 from me. It's just average.

They really did a happy ending... they promised a very sad anime it was... not sad at all, or probably sad if you're 13 yeah, at least it was entertaining and liked the colors so 5/10

For a Jun Maeda anime this was underwhelming but hey by no means this was bad. I really liked Hina, she was a fun girl. So it was sad to see her like that. But well wasn't that attached to feel too bad, with more episodes and more build ups this could have been a much better anime.

"This wasn't the saddest anime ever" No shit

For what's it's worth, this was a bittersweet finale, heartwarming for how nicely it came together despite pacing issues along the way and sad for uncertain future still lying ahead.

Despite some heavy flaws I liked it well enough overall

7/10

I dunno what to give this overall. I think the most positive think I can say about it is “This final episode wasn’t as bad as I was expecting”.

Show had an interesting concept but it felt like it faltered in its execution at just about every conceivable opportunity. The comedy was pretty great but the plot was all but absent until like episode 8 or 9, and by that point it was pretty obvious where things were going.

Also my goodness the romantic angle being pushed despite Hina's condition feels super icky now that we’re done.

They sum it up decently well that I'm not sure if I should still make a review on this show, but hey, let's see if I actually have the motivation for it in the end.

edit 8 hrs later: decided not to bother making a review.
I'd say that @An1meDweeb's review for this show does a pretty good job and sums up some of my experience I guess lol

OMG THEY FAKED ME OUT SO HARD. xD

I thought she had died by the end of the movie.

Um....so....

The show is pretty to look at and some of the comedy was really funny. Hina is cute but Suzuki's still my favorite character. The music is lovely...and the shots of Hina hugging Youta in the sunset were really gorgeous

Overall, this is like....a VERY weak version of Air. The story is similar...but it really lacks the things that made Air so good (and so very tragic).

I did enjoy watching it...but I probably wouldn't buy the show.

Definitely missed the mark here, Maeda-san. Please keep making anime; I KNOW you can do better!! :)

Oh my god I had the same thoughts too! Legit thought Hina was gonna get killed off and the whole episode just reminded me of Air... god I should get to rewatching that soon, so underappreciated.
Really hoping Jun Maeda gets well soon and improves on his storytelling career in the future.

I wish people would stop with the "saddest anime of all time" plug. From what I can tell, it was only ever mentioned once indirectly in a letter in a pre-broadcast interview. Yet for some reason, people latch onto it like it's all they care about going into this show. Writers, directors, and voice actors make claims about their work all the time in these kinds of interviews. Why haven't none of the other staff been put at gunpoint to prove whatever they say? Because you obviously shouldn't.

I enjoyed this show for what it was. It was thematically more coherent than Charlotte despite its pacing issues and limited runtime.

Yeah I agree with @Hrybami that it's starting to get used as some excuse to destroy the show for missed potential. Sure, maybe Maeda shouldn't have said that because it will guarantee some hype that may age like milk, but there are worse anime I have seen. This show was just fine, just average, whatever, I did like the theming stuff in here though too. As said before, I hope Maeda continues to create more anime and improve on storytelling.
