A world in which nobody can be born, but nobody dies either. The only way somebody can truly die is by being buried by a Gravekeeper. All of this because God had abandoned the world on a Sunday.
An interesting concept, is what I thought to myself when I read about Kamisama no Inai Nichiyoubi (or simply "Sunday Without God") and I decided to watch it and I wasn't disappointed in the slightest. As always, let's start off with the story.
Story: 7/10
The story of Sunday Without God both starts and ends interestingly (I won't be spoiling anything). The story opens up with a twelve year
...
old Gravekeeper by the name of Ai, who takes over as the town's gravekeeper after her mother dies. Then two mysterious men show up and Ai gets caught up in a series of events, but she has a motive of her own: to save the world. As much as I loved this anime, the story starts off strong, but gets a bit weaker . I won't say why, you'll have to see for yourself. I'm not saying the ending was bad! But I won't say if it was good either to avoid spoiling. Despite this, I give the story a 7/10
Art: 10/10
This being a very recent anime, it has impeccable artwork done on it. Art is always important to me when I watch anime, and Sunday Without God did not disappoint. The second I laid eyes on it, I was simply amazed by how beautiful it went, and how well the art complemented the story.
Sound: 10/10
No problem with the sound. It was brilliant. Not much to say.
Character: 9/10
There is no doubt in my mind that Sunday Without God has characters in it that you grow attached to. There are characters in this anime that you will love, and perhaps for no reason at all. Many characters I found myself loving the second I laid eyes on them. There are no characters that just act so antagonistic that you can't help but hate them; every character is loveable in some way or another.
Enjoyment: 9/10
Often I find myself zoning out when I watch anime. However this isn't an issue when it comes to watching Sunday Without God. From the very get-go I couldn't get myself to stop paying attention. Yeah, sure, this anime doesn't have a plot that goes throughout the entire twelve episodes, but it has several smaller ones, each more interesting than the last.
Overall: 7/10
I give this anime an overall rating of 7. Why 7 and not 9 or 10 after I spoke so highly of it? Well, this anime surely has its positives: Outstanding artwork, amazing characters and a very interesting idea for the overall story. However, I have to mark it down as I was expecting it to stick more to the idea of people not being born anymore, and people dying but not actually dying until being buried by a Gravekeeper. At times it seems like they threw the idea out the window. They didn't, of course. It just didn't seem very important at times. I know you can't have the same bland crap being thrown at you every minute of every episode, but I don't feel as though there was enough of it in there.
My final verdict is: give this anime a try! Hopefully you will love it like I did.
