Story:
Karin Hanazono is an orphan, living with her relatives. Her life has never been easy, her studies are not well, she is not the best in sports and technically she is miserable. Left with only a ring as a memento from her departed mother, she suddenly finds her life changed, as she was mourning her pet cat, Shii-chan. On that night she met a strange boy, Kazune Kujyou. After that event, she experiences several mysterious incidences that soon led her to find out that she is a little goddess. Finding others like her she soon sets out to understand herself better as her mysterious powers grow and she becomes beset by opponents. In the beginning, I really did find it strange, since the story began in medias res. Along the way, however, things will unravel by themselves.This anime deals quite a bit with Greek mythology, so it would be more interesting if you already had background knowledge on the topic, but even if you do not, it won't be a hindrance from the enjoyment of this anime. I do hope you guys don't think too badly of the concept of time travel or something similar to it given its such a headache to think about. It really does have a nice story. And wonderful transfor- oh wait, I'll let you guys find out for yourselves.
Characters:
This anime has a wide variety of characters, especially to accommodate for the different Greek gods and goddesses. The anime is also part comedy, so you can expect punchlines and jokes from most of the characters in the series. The characters are also very cute... well most of them. However, their powers to be shown in the series are not to be trifled with.
Art and Animation:
As you can see from the photo here, the art is... well, maybe not exactly the best you've seen ever especially in comparison to most of the more recent anime released, but to be fair, this anime aired in 2007. Yes, 7 years ago. While the art isn't perfect (given the ridiculously large eyes and other features), the animation makes it okay to look at. Especially the powers (I loved that part).
OP/ED:
The OP, Ankoku Tengoku (Darkness Heaven) is quite... well, it fits the title. It is in fact somewhat dark in nature and honestly, doesn't suit my taste. The OP does however show their transformations (yes, I said it. They transform.) and is, regardless of the nature of its OP, actually interesting. Both endings 1 and 2 have a more upbeat and calming tone in contrast to the OP.
Overall: 8/10
The anime really is more suited to girls ages 8 (yes I lowered it) and above (gahd why did I even). The anime is relatively comedy and romance inclined than the action part. I honestly just watched this for the transformations and the cute characters. It's a good anime, but there are definitely better (considering my age group and gender. HAHAHAHA ._.)
If you're an 8-year-old girl who wants something pretty and cool at the same time for your age group, then you'll enjoy this. If you're part of the rest of society... don't judge me. ;n;
