I immediately knew I shouldn't take this too seriously after seeing their lives in Japan. What people don't recognize is that this is slice of life and comedy so the lack of plot should have been expected. The animation is stylized, with pastel colors and sketchy borders, but it suited the characters and their personalities. Speaking of the characters, Jesus and Buddha's interactions with the modern world is the driving force of the movie. They have their own set of quirks that was quite unexpected and really gave them a more human feeling. Not to mention the nods towards their respective religions (i.e, Buddha attracting animals and Jesus making bread and wine) went hand in hand with their human-like personalities. I'm a stickler for character interaction/development so it was a treat for me. The sound was passable, with the voice actors portraying emotions very well, but they did add a little girly hint to their voices that I eventually grew on it. Also the soundtrack suited the atmosphere but did nothing to stand out so it slips up a bit in the sound department.
Overall, this really isn't for everyone, especially those who hate slice of life and sensitive towards religion, but if you're willing to have an open mind just give it a go. It's purely made for entertainment and I'd group it with Usagi Drop and GTO as a feel good anime. I give it an 8.43 out of 10.
