* Based on an action fantasy seinen manga written by Amahara and drawn by Cool Kyoushinja.

Gods appeared when humanity was on the verge of destruction due to the work of demons. Deities called "Idaten" fought and sealed away the demons 800 years ago. Nowadays, the Idaten have no fighting experience and they live peaceful lives. But now the demons are reviving, and the battle between gods, humans, and demons is about to begin.

This had a bit of a late start (aired a couple weeks late), but boy it sure is unusual. I like that. The texture of this show is something else. If I can drop some more names, this feels kind of like a cross between FLCL and Lucilfer and the Biscuit Hammer in tone. I don't know what everyone's actual relationships are, and the world building is handled at the same time as character revelations (they feed into each other). Mappa put some of their good team on this one, it seems, and the action is above average. That aside, the story itself is what I'm sticking around for. The characters could use some more filling out, but there is the rest of the season for that. I hate being vague in these intro posts, but spoilers aren't fun for anyone. Don't miss out on this.
