Amagami-san Chi no Enmusubi

After witnessing his mother's death at a young age, Uryuu Kamihate grew up disillusioned with the gods, dismissing faith in them as utter nonsense. Due to his beliefs, he aims to become a doctor, spending most of his time studying to enter the prestigious Kyoto University.

To further his studies, Uryuu searches for a new place to take him in and get away from the noisy environment of the orphanage where he grew up. Chidori Amagami, head priest of the Amagami Shrine, allows him to stay at the Amagami residence. However, Uryuu has to live there with Chidori's three granddaughters—Yae, Yuna, and Asahi—who serve as shrine maidens. Moreover, Chidori has another condition for Uryuu: he has to marry one of the sisters to ensure the shrine's future and one day inherit it. But with Uryuu's goals and outlook naturally clashing against the sisters' beliefs, this already daunting ordeal seems outright impossible.

Easily one of my top 10 favorite animes ever! This is basically a combination of Gotoubun (I heard the writer used to work for the creator of Gotoubun, but don’t quote me on that) and Bunny Girl Senpai, but with traditional Japanese shrine folklore and a sprinkle of Kyoto!

It starts off like any other harem anime with a crazy plot, where the MC has to live with the heroines. However, the story goes deeper, with each arc exploring the MC’s interactions with the heroines’ emotions, motivations, and past experiences while solving a mystical twist caused by a god. In Japanese folklore, this is also known ... as 神様のいたずら (kami-sama no itazura—"God’s prank"), as the Japanese often see gods as mischievous.

Another thing I love about this anime is the Kyoto scenery! I have been to Kyoto, and this anime reminded me of its beautiful locations, such as Fushimi Inari Taisha, the Arashiyama mountains, Kyoto Tower, etc. Each heroine has a unique personality and motivation. They aren’t just placed there to be cute and flirt with the MC like in some harems.

Mixed Feelings

Hmmmm. This is a tough one. Mostly because of the supernatural stuff. Kinda simple but I'll say meh, with some good ideas.

This is one of those anime that you wanna love but something is amiss and you can't really tell what. So, this might be a problem of adaptation. I don't know the sauce, I don't care about sauce. This is a review for this media, spoiler free.

The visuals are good. Except for the MC (dunno why, I don't really like it), the designs are nice/really good. Good color palette. Extremely beautiful landscapes/background. Same for VFX. Animation on par.
The audio is good. Decent soundtrack, good ... levels. Good OP and ED (and their visuals), VAs do a good job.
High production value, good mix, the cinematography is very good.
Yes, I'm rushing through all this because everyone can notice the high level.

Now, the tricky part. Like I said, this anime has some integral supernatural parts. Every time you deviate from the norm your project becomes harder to master. And thats because you need to carefully balance said elements or the world-building will suffer. A simpler example is the fantasy genre. Lets say you get some nice characters and an interesting story, but you feel like you want to add magic. As in magic spells, not pizzazz. Well, if your magic system doesn't have some strong rules, your story will have plothole after plothole. I'm sure any of us can come up with some anime title where this happened. The same goes for supernatural. You can have a little more freedom, but some rules MUST exist. If someone asks "how the fk did that happen?" and your answer is "'cause its magic/supernatural", then you're doing it wrong. And now back to our stuff. This anime's approach to said elements is mostly ok. A couple of iffy parts, but thats ok, its supernatural ( :) ) The main issue is with the characters. And their relationship with the supernatural parts. The MC has a character arc, good or bad, thats not the problem here. What I'm talking about is him being dumb or quick-witted by how the plot dictates. And thats mixed-in with some supernatural elements. And yes, there are more examples/situations, but he's the main element that lowers this anime.

Spoiler free, so I won't say much. The story is kinda interesting in the beginning. After a while it kinda becomes something like mini-arcs for each girl: 3 episodes for developing his romance with this girl 3 for the next one, and so on, and so on. Not a bad thing per se, but makes you raise an eyebrow. Again, probably this is because of the sauce, maybe a volume had chapters of one girl only. Dunno. While it does its job, of characters' development and relationship advancement, after a while this kind of storytelling becomes boring. Do keep in mind this is a 24-episodes season, so if people want to know how it ends, it feels too long. Oh, also: the comedy is meh, the romantic angle is ok-ish. A personal note, this anime would've gotten a lot better if MORE fan service was added. Something shiny to distract you. More so when you have such lovely visuals. But then again, the MC is a wuss, so maybe its ok as it is. Another personal note, I like the way the title and the last episode ties up ( I'm sorry, I had to do it...).

Thats about it. A good-looking anime, with good ideas, but meh story and elements. Probably very enjoyable if you can turn off your brain. I'd say no return value, because there's is nothing to make you wish rewatching it.
I'm giving this a 7 ( it really should be a 6, but ok) for the extremely nice backgrounds, some nice ideas, some character development.

Have a lovely evening.

Preliminary (5/24 eps)

This show is pretty bad.

The main character is a dickhead. I understand he doesn't believe in God, but he comes off as a reddit atheist nerd.

When the girls pray because of an important lost item, he mouths them off, saying it's a waste of time. He makes a similar remark about children making origami cranes for their sick parents in the hospital, although not directly to them. The show tries to explain this as him having difficulty communicating despite being caring and the cause being his sad backstory. Even then, it doesn't take a genius to be aware enough not to say these things.
He should ... also be fully aware that SHRINE MAIDENS in a TEMPLE pray and believe in God. He is moving in to live with them, so regardless of his religious beliefs, he should be compromising.

One of the sisters tries to lighten up the mood by mentioning something along the lines of wishing upon a shooting star, to which he retorts, saying it's not scientifically possible at this time of year, and even if it did, it would crash into earth. But then you wouldn't believe it, a true miracle happens despite the scientific reasoning he just described!!

The anime is tagged as a comedy, but it isn't funny. It's filled with all your cliche harem situations and includes poorly executed vulnerable moments that are supposed to be emotional but aren't.

The romance is terrible because everyone and everything in this show feels flat and lacks depth.

Episode 4/5 introduces an antagonist that is also a complete dickhead but is overtly nasty as he's the bad guy. I couldn't be bothered to continue watching this anime. The plot is a rehashed pattern you've seen before. You already know how everything is going to play out.
