Kannagi

"From a statue carved out of a sacred tree’s wood comes the blue-haired goddess Nagi bursting to life in Kannagi: Crazy Shrine Maidens. Starring Tomatsu Haruka (Lala in To LOVE-Ru) as the cute, demanding, and sometimes violent Nagi, and Shimono Hiro (Hirono Hiro in ef - a tale of memories.) as the high school arts club member Mikuriya Jin who has to put up with her"

"Yamamoto Yutaka is directing this series — the mastermind behind the insanely popular Hare Hare Yukai and Motteki Sailor Fuku dances — which explains the dance in the opening."


- taken from Random Curiosity


This has been the biggest surprise for me this season, and while I wasn't planning to try anything but my original list, I saw this released last night and decided to give it a chance. Good thing I did, because it's turned out to be one of the most enjoyable first episode I've seen from the fall season.

Insanely catchy and fun OP, I found myself warming to this more so than any other show I've seen thus far from the Fall season releases (though ef - atom may top this).

Good animation, very nice VAs and interesting and likable characters. Honestly, I don't know how much I can hype this up, but I know from just this first episode I will definitely be following the rest of the series intently, along with my other must-watch shows Clannad and ef.

This one is fairly intriguing considering this was produced by some ex-KyoAni staffers like....say Yutaka Yamamoto, the mastermind behind the Haruhi and Lucky Star dances, who got axed off because of the first 4 episodes of Lucky Star. That is why the OP dance sequence is catchy.

Hmm who can understand why some people get let go eh.

Those two dances are likely a large part of the reason the entire planet knows those two shows.

And this show's opening will likely be on every amv soon too.

The first show is not entirely unique in humour justifications, but I plan to watch this one. You can never have too many fun anime shows :)

Hmm, not sure if I'll follow this one all the way through or not. I'll have to see a few more episodes to decide.

Oh, and by the way, did I catch a Higurashi reference in there? :O

The op was absolutely epic. Instant win.


The characters, if not a tad bit generic, are absolutely lovable. I see potential in the series.

The moment they release the creditless op on dvds, it'll become as abused as those 2 already (un)famous ops we all know about. But I still loved it. And the first ep also seemed very amusing. Will be watched regularly :o
