This will be another anime most will either love or hate with few sitting in the middle.
It starts as funny and heartwarming slice of life show with an unusual premise, has some confusing plot points, quirky characters and seems a little weird. A preteen "god" heralding the end of the world comes to live with a family who's names all come from divinity, perfectly normal right?
It's story builds slowly focusing on character development while exploring the mystery's surrounding the self proclaimed deity, with the first half of the arc centered around the joy of building friendships and connections. The second half begins with an uncomfortable confrontation that is the herald of the loss, pain and helplessness yet to come. Some of the plot seems a bit outlandish (inside the context of this show), there are some weak connections used to advance the plot, but overall it flows well. As for the finale, in the end each viewer will have to decide if the characters choices resulted in ending they are satisfied with.
Pro's: -Consistent animation quality. -Good English Dubbing. -Unusual story with quirky characters. -Some solid emotional triggers.
Con's: -Weak plot points. -2D supporting characters. -An ending people will either love or hate.
