The art is so clean, absolutely superb. The action is also done really well. Can't wait to see more of it.

This is only the second anime I've seen this season (Sacred Seven being the first), but it does have some really cool elements. I'm excited to see what's to come.

I think it's probably going to be one of the worst shows I'm watching though I'm skipping most of the bad ones, so I''ll say it's decent.

I can't say best of the season just yet (there could be other candidates), we'll need to wait and definitely see though. It does have the potential.

AGreed with the opening..

SO far the entire season has been full of trainwrecks(cough bloodC cough) or generic fanservice or generic school life.

This is nice change of pace with quite unsettling and awesome atmosphere.

I've read up to volume 2 of the manga. Let me tell you, OP: it won't even be one of the better anime airing this season.

Let's wait till episode 3 at the very least to decide. This season is full of amazing new shows, and God Doll's first episode, while having potential, isn't the best.

I think you posted this in the wrong anime subforum. I'm pretty sure thread was meant for this anime. Not that I blame you for getting them mixed up as both are being produced by Brains Base, but you will see that this is clearly the weaker of the two.

Pretty much every show is a runner for best of the season at this point, so we'll just have to wait and see how they develop further. In terms of premise and initial presentation, though, I have to say that Kamisama Dolls is doing a pretty good job. It got me hooked enough to read the manga, which unfortunately has only been translated up to chapter 12.

Anyway, just my opinion, so far Kamisama Dolls, Usagi Drop and maybe Kamisama no Memochou showed potential to become really good series. As for Mawaru Penguindrum... it's different, but that's all. It could either become simply a mess or something interesting, but right now I'm not able to tell.

Now that it has gone through quite a few episodes, how is it going? I only saw the first episode and dropped it and was wondering if it is worth picking up again.. Does it get good?
Nope. Episode 7 was sort of good, but the rest of it has been mediocre at best.

yeah.....no

at first i'd agree, but the characters constant rage is getting really annoying and tiresome.
now it's just annoying. i'd almost say this is the worst of the season but alot of others are pretty bad.

Defnitely one of the highlights in this outstanding season along with Usagi Drop and Mawaru Penguindrum. And one of the few (only ?) original and well-directed robot shows we've seen since Gurren Lagann.

THis minus Usagi Drop.

Penguindrum is interesting in its unique approach.

Kamisama DOlls on other hand might be more usual, however it juggles the atmospheric emotional changes REALLY well.

Moments of happiness and brightness are followed by self-introspection and sadness and show does not fear to go into quite huge lengths into each spectrum.

And setting, characters, their interactions, etc feel real. Village and its dreaded secrets and old traditions feel real. City and its lifeless landscape feels real.

Not to mention that I'd say that main characters of Kamisama dolls are more complex and interesting than those of Penguindrum. Its nice to have a vilain and hero who both don't want either of those roles, yet are both at once. The supporting cast so far is quite stellar too, and characters have a lot of chemistry with each other.

How much of Aki does Kyohei see in himself? How much Of Kyohei does Aki see in himself? Whatever the case, both these sides of same coin are pretty much same. Not white, not black, just gray and had situation been a bit different, they would be in each other's shoes right now.

The more philosophical pat of exploration of human nature is also nice, even if its not that deep. Does man make its tools he has been given evil? Or do the tools given to him are evil because of the man? Is the inherent nature of every person is good? Or Evil? Or both at once?

I can say proudly that the show is pretty much the most anticipated thing each week for me.


Also bonus points for the show doing BEACH EPISODE ....and then completely avoiding, averting and lampshading every possible fanservice trope that might have sprung from that.

In all it's one of the weaker animes, which is sad since it has good premise but can't pull it off.

I know it can be pretty slow at times, but i'm actually quite enjoying watching this. Its not one of my most favourite animes but I look forward to watching the episodes. I don't know, there is just something I like about it lol. Usagi Drop is one of the best as well.
