Kamigami no Asobi | Mythology: Anime Style.

Evening, guys.

Tonight, I want to give you an anime recommendation, mostly for the girls, since there's some fanservice for them, but anyways.

Today was released the last episode of the shoujo anime KAMIGAMI NO ASOBI, which is based on the PSP game with the same name, which tells the story about a girl named Kusanagi Yui, who is the daughter of a temple owner. She's trained in the arts of swordfighting, and helps her family taking care of the shrine.

One day, she finds a katana locked inside a warehouse and, as soon as she touches it, Yui is teleported to a place called The Garden, where she meets Zeus, the ruler of all Gods in the Greek Mythology. There, she's forced to teach the other gods about humankind, since the others have no idea about those experiences and feelings, consequently the link between them keeps getting weaker.

So, she meets the gods. They come from various mythologies, including the greek one.

From the Greeks, including Zeus, she meets APOLLON, the god of clarividence and the sun, HADES, brother of Zeus and Apollon's uncle. He's the god of misfortune and ruler of the Underworld, and DIONYSUS, the god of Wine, Fertility and Merry Making.

From the Japanese folklore, we can find the Totsuka Brothers; Takeru and Tsukito. Takeru is the Japanese God of the Sea and Storms. And Tsukito is the God of the Moon.

From the Nordic culture; arrives Loki, God of Fire. Also Thor, God of Thunder. And Baldr, God of Light and Destruction.

Finally, from the Egyptian culture, there's Thoth, God of Knowledge, and Anubis, God of the Dead.

In order to get back to her home, Yui has to help the gods understand the humans and keep the balance in the universe, or something.

My favorite gods have to be: Baldr, Hades, Thoth, and Tsukito.

   

 

It's interesting, since you get to know a bit of the background story of the gods, while they are in a friendly school ambience.
The series are over for now, so be sure to check out the complete anime. It's quite fun, adorable and dramatic at times.

Enjoy.
