Kamichama Karin is another one of Koge Donbo’s manga that now has an anime. She’s also responsible for Pita-Ten and Di Gi Charat. I really liked Pita-Ten a lot, so I was really excited for Kamichama Karin, even though I’ve never read it.

The beginning of the anime features some weirdness from later in the series (I’m assuming), so I just sorta vegged out during that. There were three guys with rings who did a quick transformation to attack some evil vines growing on a pole… And then Karin joined in!

The real story begins with Karin lamenting over her dead pet, Shi. That’s an ironic name… Anyway, she feels really alone. When some dude walks up to her and calls her an idiot, she releases her fury! After he leaves, she feels alone again. Apparently her parents are dead, and her obaa-san is really mean to her for getting bad grades. Her only friend was Shi, but now Shi is dead, too.

With a renewed effort to get better grades, Karin scores… a 30! It looks like she’s doing some kind of physics homework. On the way back to school, she bumps into a girl who she finds super cute. Like she’s got cute girl stuff in her bag (which she spills all over the ground) and she even offers to give Karin some hair ties as a present. They both don’t have parents so Karin and Himeka become friends.

But Karin soon finds out that Himeka’s brother is none other than the guy who called her an idiot, Kazune! He gets another punch for good measure. He’s not really interested in Karin until he spots the ring on her finger. Then he asks to look at it but Karin runs away.

Back at school, Karin becomes an ojou character due to the ring’s power. Like she scores a 100 on her test, plays piano while doing a handstand, and does some crazy awesome chemistry. She should’ve also ended her sentences with “desuwa” and laughed the “oh hohohohoho” laugh. When she wishes it would rain, and it starts raining, she gets a little weirded out.

At home, Himeka visits to give her back the bag that she threw at Kazune. Then they all meet under the rain and Kazune extends his apologies. When Karin visits Shi’s grave again, she’s confronted by a glasses-wearing guy who says he’s been looking for her, and calls her a god! The perverts keep getting weirder and weirder…

So I really liked this first episode. The character designs are really cute and so is the animation. The backgrounds also look incredible. I like the use of color in the backgrounds, especially. The anime is just really enjoyable to look at.

Also, there’s a lot of use of X3 faces and whatnot, so that’s an added plus. Some people might not like it, but I love super deformed expressions.

I’m getting some Pita-Ten vibes from Kamichama Karin. The characters just remind me of the Pita-Ten Characters. Like Kazune reminds me of Ten-chan, and Himeka of Shia. I really want a Koboshi character to show up soon!

Kamichama Karin is turning out to be a pretty fun looking anime. Hopefully it doesn’t end up being a generic magic girl one. If they keep up the pretty animation and the fun storyline, I’ll definitely keep watching. It’s also a plus that the dialogue is really simple and I understood almost everything watching it raw.

If the anime ends up going too slow, I might also wind up getting the manga. It looks like the English translation has gone pretty far into the series, so that’d mean no waiting!

To me, the manga is nice looking, but somewhat hard to follow. Especially when there’s action, I have to glance it over a few times to understand what’s happening.

The scene at the beginning was from Kamichama Karin Chu, the sequel series to the manga. Why they stuck it at the beginning of the anime, I have no idea.

If I remember correctly, volume 7 (the last one!) is due out May. So if you’re interested but don’t want to wait, sounds like you’ve started at the perfect time. ;3

Thanks for the review! I’m surprised at the high production quality of the series.

I watched this today, and I liked it too. And about what you were thinking with the manga, I really recommend it. The first couple volumes are kinda…overly cute, but once you really get into the series, it gets pretty deep. (kind of like Pita Ten lol)
Thanks for the review~!

I watched this anime out of curiosity myself. I found myself realy liking it. So I ended up downloading up to chapter 6, and I hope 7 comes out soon or gets scanlated. I was also able to DL the first 3 raw chapters of Chu and thats when it clicked with the begining of the anime. Find it amusing how they begin it with such a spoiler. Oh well!

I have been following this series ever since it first started. The anime is really fun and the character designs aren’t too bad. The only complaint I had was the fact that they stuck that random opening sequence in, which like some already said doesn’t happen till the sequel manga. I’m not sure why they did that since it just ended up confusing me at first, and I’m sure I’m not the only person. The opening song was a bit weird. Don’t get me wrong I LOVE Ali Project but I had a hard time understanding this song. Took me three listens to get it straight in my head. ^_^; All in all a great anime, and if you have time please do pick up the manga. Last Volume comes out on my Birthday, so it will be a great birthday for me at least. 😀

I love this manga even though I’m only 11. Me and my friends are going crazy waiting for the last volume to come out. I’ve read a few spoilers but I want to see chu maore thatn anything! I wish somebody would scan it onto the web for me!

I don’t know about the anime, but I’ve been reading the manga.

Koge Donbo is an awesome artist, but they should make a law in japan that forbids her from writing her own plots. it’s impossible to follow.

I gave it up because i kept forgetting what was happening. Same with Pita-Ten, although it still was somewhat more comprehensible than Kamichama.

They have aired 3 episodes now.
I’ve watched episodes 1 and 2, but not 3.
I hope I can download it.
Oh, and the boys’ names are Jin, Michiru, and Kazune.
The little boy’s name is Suzune, Kazune and Karin’s future son.
And I actually forgot the girl who was with Kirio….
Oh well!
Be sure to see some more animes by Koge-Donbo like Pita Ten (I looooved this anime! ^^ Just see my name.), and Digi Charat.

I really like the manga, and I really can’t wait until the last volume comes out ! I’ll admit that I like the manga better than the Anime.

I started watching the anime yesterday, and I also can’t wait until the next episode comes out x3. Then again, I never really finished reading Pita-ten. Although I finished watching the anime series, I didn’t finish the manga. x]. Only on volume 5, but I stopped buying it for awhile because of Kamichama Karin I guess. Haha. Anyways, Until Kamichama Karin – chu (or however it is xD) comes out, everyone, Please watch/read Kamichama Karin 😀 !

My friend recommended the anime to me, and when I saw the opening, I was like, “Is this going to be like Rozen Maiden Magical Girls?” Well, I was wrong. It was a magical boy thing too. Which, reeeaaally creeped me out because I had no idea if the mood was supposed to be cute, serious or extremely funny in a weird way. When they got up to the part where they summon the power of “Love”, I completely freezed, not sure if that was just a bad translation or its just veeeery corny like that. Maybe I should get the manga instead?

I first knew abt this anime from a pic I found on the internet. I thought it was really cute so I decided to ask my friends abt it. It took awhile becuz only one friend of mine knew what it was. She told me she read the manga but 4got wat it was abt. I looked on the internet to see wat it was abt and after watching the first episode of Kamichama Karin, I was hooked. I’m looking for scanlations on the internet now but can’t really find any good sites on Kamichama Karin Chu.
