Kamisama Dolls – Series Review

Let’s end at the beginning – the Summer Preview post.  In that, I said that Kamisama Dolls was my pick for sleeper hit of the season.  I hadn’t read the manga, but I had a hunch based on both the look, the director (Seiji Kishi) and the studio (Brains Base) […] Read more

Anyone who thought Kamisama Dolls wasn’t going to deliver on its potential with a kick-ass finale were wrong, as it certainly did.  But if you’re looking for any kind of closure, you’re barking up the wrong tree. We’ve all heard the debates about how to end an anime when a […] Read more

Now that was a nice, low-key and relaxing episode of KamiDolls to help us rest up for next week’s finale. Heh… In terms of sheer, unadulterated fun this is as good as any series I’ve seen for a long time.  Damn, Brains Base is a good studio – they can […] Read more

Damn, this is a good series.  Great to look at, sexy, dangerous, whip-smart and loads of fun.  This is why anime and manga exist – there’s no way Kamisama Dolls could exist in any other format. One of the things I love most about this show is the remarkable ability […] Read more

More than any series this season, Kamisama Dolls has the ability to find another gear and crank up the intensity to ridiculous levels.  We saw it in episode 7, where it took the form of an emotional barrage, and again here.  This time it’s a frenetic, violent and jarring display […] Read more

OK, it’s officially an anime now – Kana Hanazawa has shown up. It’s part of the nature of Kamisama Dolls that it can often be as entertaining while nothing much is happening as when all sorts of things are happening.  When it avoids the overly self-aware fixation on Utao’s moe […] Read more

Following up a blockbuster is always a daunting task, and Kamisama Dolls was always going to have a tough time keeping the momentum after last week’s masterpiece of emotional intensity.  But this is always a show with a trick or two up its sleeve, and that ability to surprise at […] Read more

When I said “This is my pick for sleeper of the season” in my Summer Preview, I don’t think even I expected Kamisama Dolls to become the series it has.  Surely, with this week’s episode KamiDolls has set a new standard and redefined itself as a series.  Wow. I hardly […] Read more

I remain fully vested in Kamisama Dolls, despite it’s somewhat schizoid presentation to the viewer thus far.  The sixth episode is by far the most quiet and reflective, and probably the most tonally consistent of the series. The return to Karakami Village was neither as uncomfortable or dramatic as I […] Read more

In this era of “genre” dominating seemingly all anime discussions, sometimes a series comes along that’s just a good, solid anime. It does things you can’t do in live-action, dabbles in sci-fi as anime used to do so often, and offers a well-produced final product with genuinely interest characters and […] Read more
