Kamigami No Asobi Anime Review

 Konnichiwa Minna!! xxx

Today I have another anime review and as it's close to Valentine's Day I thought I would review a kawaii reverse harem for you! This is my Kamigami No Asobi Review ♥



The anime centers around a normal high school girl called Yui Kusanagi who is transported to a garden-like world where she meets 8 gods of Japanese, Norse and Greek Mythology. The plot is that Zeus has brought the 8 gods together with 1 human in a bid to renew the connections between gods and humans, in basic terms he wants the gods to learn from Yui. This must happen for 1 year and when each of them meet their goal and understand humans, Zeus will release the shackles on their powers. If they fail they must remain in Zeus's world forever.



Quite the heavy plot for a 12 episode anime, but it's very evenly split up and not confusing at all. This is yet again another Otome/Reverse Harem anime series and to be honest I loved it, every minute of it. This is clearly a very female orientated anime with all the kawaii boys, each boy like any harem anime, has their own personality which is vastly different from everyone else. Each episode introduces the gods to you and gives a insight into their quirks, such as Hades who has no self confidence.






The anime is beautifully done, it's so pretty with so much action thrown in there as well, surprisingly. The character depth is exquisite and you find yourself drawn to one, if not all of the characters and you just want to give them a big freaking cuddle. (~￣▽￣)~ ♥. I really don't want to give too much away about this anime, as I recommend that you watch at least a few episodes as the plot is very unique. Plus who wouldn't want to see all the action like Apollon up there ^ ... I mean WOWSA !! (┛◉Д◉)┛彡┻━┻

Story: 8/10 - The story isn't one of the best, but for me I loved the idea of all the characters being forced together in a situation where they need to support one another. It was a very cute story where the characters slowly warm up to the girl and eventually have a soft spot for her. 

Character: 8/10 - I loved all of the gods, without a doubt they were all amazing and adorable in their own ways. I personally found Loki to be my favourite because of his mischievous nature. I really like that there will always be a god that appeals to you.  

Artstyle/Animation: 10/10 - The animation to me was flawless, absolutely gorgeous. Everything was very bright, fun and mystical, it is very hard not to fall in love with the art style of this anime. It is very similar to to Uta no Prince-Sama in animation. 

Overall: 8/10 - I think this anime was beautiful but I wish there was 25 episodes rather than 12, it was a little short. In the 12 episodes there was so much depth and cuteness that I was automatically sucked into it's world. A genuinely lovely anime to watch.

I hope you enjoyed my Kamigami No Asobi Review!

Diabolik Lovers Anime Review

Konnichiwa Minna-san! 

I have been super excited to review this anime for you all. Diabolik Lovers is an anime that has been based on a visual novel game, the anime consists of a girl called Yui who is surrounded by six vampire brothers, The Sakamaki brothers, that she has been forced to live with due to circumstances. There are 12 episodes in total.

Each one of the vampires have a very different personality which you can expect from a reverse harem anime, Despite the personality differences all of the boys have the same agenda which is to drink Yui's blood. The entire anime is very creepy and you find yourself really worrying for Yui because of the situations the brothers put her in, most of which have an air of sexual tension surrounding them despite the this not being an ecchi anime. 

The each one of the brothers have a back story which explains their personality. There is essentially not a lot of story involved in this anime, which is common for an otome anime. The base line of the anime is the brothers are basically on a feeding frenzy with this girl, who is just walking food to them, however a few of them are more attached to her than the others. 

If vampires, ultimate control and sadism are not your thing then I would definitely not recommend this anime as it would make you super uncomfortable. Each episode will introduce a brother and all his sadistic qualities, these episodes will also explain a little of each brother's story. The remaining episodes are based around why Yui ended up with the Sakamaki brothers and how parts of their family are involved in the mystery. 

Overall I found this anime to be quite interesting despite the sadism and verbal abuse which is thrown at the poor human girl. However I found myself annoyed more than once at her personality which isn't really submissive, more just weak and weak minded. A side from these points it filled my time and wasn't really too bad, some of the scenes are what you can expect from an otome anime of this type.

Story: 3/10 - There really isn't much story, and when there is an attempt at a story it is so messy and confusing. 

Character: 7/10 - Yui was a very irritating character, the brothers however were very interesting and fun with all their different personalities.

Art Style/Animation: 9/10 - I love the art style, it is very vampy and dark with lots of deep colours. A very big win for this type of anime, it really fit with the story.

Overall: 6/10 - I liked this anime for what it was, entertaining and fun but lacking in depth and story. It is very much like Orenchi no Furo Jijou in the that there is a lack of story but very in depth characters.
