An anime about Buddha and Jesus living together.. who would've thought of that? When I first heard about this, I was really excited but I put it aside to watch JoJo's.. And now I'm really glad that I did...

I really liked the concept. It had a lot of potential, it really did. My problems are with the execution. Mainly the fact that most of the jokes weren't very.. funny.

The jokes about Buddha and Jesus' powers were amusing and all, but there wasn't anything special done with them. In addition to being that being pretty much all this show had to offer in terms of ... comedy, most of the punchlines got stale and predictable halfway through the first episode.
Oh yeah, there were a few jabs at the main characters for their easygoing personalities and some misunderstandings about the way Earth works, but those were half-baked, minimal effort, and not a lot was done with them.
All in all, the jokes in this show did not feel well thought out.

I'll speedrun through the other categories since there isn't much to say about them.

The art is nothing special, but I felt like it suited the show so I gave it a 6. It's fair.
The sound is.. there. I felt like the voice actors could've done some more at some points. Like Asahi from Haikyuu has a very similar personality to Jesus, but with help from his VA, his character felt a lot more vibrant.
I felt that the characters were too similar to one another and maybe that's another reason the comedy fell a little flat. If one of them were more hot headed, I feel like there would be more of their dynamic to joke about, and their interactions would be more lively and interesting overall.

I still liked watching it since it was only two episodes and it kept me entertained while i ate dinner, so it's a 6 in terms of enjoyment. Nothing special, but it's fine.

In conclusion, if you're looking for a slice of Supernatural beings living in the modern world in your life, I would highly recommend Sore Dake Ga Neck or All Saints Street.

But if you've had your eye on this one, don't let my review discourage you; it's only two episodes after all.
