All she has left of her parents is a ring given to her by her mother, which she treasures dearly as the sole thing left of her past.

Within the world of magical girl anime, Kamichama Karin presents a story that blends lighthearted fantasy with elements of mystery and emotional growth. On the surface, the series appears to follow a familiar magical girl formula centered on school life, friendship, and mysterious rings that grant divine powers. However, as the story progresses, the narrative begins stacking twist after twist, revealing hidden identities, tangled family connections, and increasingly dramatic revelations. In hindsight, the sheer number of plot twists can feel almost absurd. Strangely, that very absurdity becomes part of the show' charm, turning moments that might otherwise feel excessive into something unintentionally amusing. The story escalates so dramatically that it becomes hardly to even complain about…

Kamichama is a magical girl anime starring a magical boy, Kazune. There are additional slice of life elements centred around the titular magical girl Karin, but she plays a surprisingly small role in the story despite claiming most of the screentime. Additionally, Himeka plays one half the part of a moe-crippled McGuffin, and a perfectly ordinary student council president Glasses Guy will fill the role of antagonist for the 24 episodes we have to wait until the real characters show up. Finally a boy named Mikorin will provide fanservice in his role as a heterochromatic pretty boy.
# How Does it Work?
Karin, an orphan, is struggling with loneliness and emptiness within her life. Enter fellow orphan Kazune, who along with his cousin Himeka introduces Karin to the fantastical world of being…

Sorry if this seems long, I have a lot of personal back story with this puppy.
I grew up with anime ever since I was five years old and saw my very first episode of "Sailor Moon" on TV. I also grew up with Studio Ghibli films. Anime was always there, but I didn't realize what it truly was until I was about 10 years old. My older sister was starting to get into anime, and so naturally I followed in her footsteps, because older siblings were cool, yo. We got into reading manga, but there was a problem: my parents were a bit strict on ratings. My sister could read manga that said "for 13 and older", because she was 13, but I couldn't, because I was 10. Thus, for the first couple of years of my anime and manga life, I was mostly stuck with magical girls and stuff intended for younger audienc…

Kamichama Karin is a anime that includes very well written romance and very cute characters! I thoroughly enjoyed the romance. However I did not like the plot twist, the ending or the last 4 episodes at all. I thought it was overall complex. I did in fact enjoy the humor alot. It has medicore sound and art, nothing spectacular. Overall I enjoyed this anime. It was very cute and it was decent.

This show started out like one of the most amazing shoujo anime I've seen and slowly became an unbearable waste of time.
The show starts out with lots of mystery, intriguing characters, excellent pace and buildup, it catches you completely off guard with its dark and melancholic themes as you expect a sugary positive magical girl cliche. The characters are amazing and deliver lots of genuine emotions and easy to relate drama.
Around the middle mark the show starts filling out with fillers, episodes that go practically nowhere, no clear antagonist and a complete ignore of vital questions and puzzles the story set up. The last episodes come up with a quick last-minute drama that really just comes off as a flat stock cliche with little heart or mind.
The animation of the show is never really…

I really enjoyed this anime. Because it was one of my firsts when i was a kid. Always liked it. However, the art throws me off a bit because they look so young. Overall the anime is quite good and can get quite addicting, as i myself have rewatched this anime many times.

I watched this series a couple of years ago in fact and I absolutely adored it, however to all of you who are planning to watch this my suggestion is: watch the anime, then go to the manga straight after. However let's get started on the review shall we?
Story: However childish and repetitive this plot seems like in the beginning, give it a chance kay? In the end, trust me, it's much more that meets the eye. At first you find yourself thinking: great another magical girl type anime, however under the surface there is much, much, more, almost to the point where we get into mild mindscrew.
Art: I have to give this a 10 just because Koge-Donbo's art is so darn adorable and cute.
Sound: I'm basing this score on the openings and endings songs.
Character: The characters however good they…

Alright, so about kamichama karin. On the first sight a normal mahou shoujo, with happy graphics. But when you start really looking in it, you will find yourself getting in to the story and feelings of the characters. I must say, the story is quiye confusing at the beginning. It only came clear to me when i watched kamichama karin Chu. But if you dont think to much about it, you'll find yourself following the story in no time. The characters are very alive and unique, what i really like, and my favorite character of the whole series is..Micchi! I think he is very cute and funny. The art is i must say very cute! I do recommend kamichama karin, it has a nice and sometimes sad story line, and some fun characters!

Well well well, what is there to say about Kamichama Karin? A lot, actually. I was skeptical about this anime at first, because I thought from the picture/description it was for little kids, but I was so so so wrong. Kamichama Karin is a confusing anime, with many twists and turns, and by the end of it you're going to have your eyebrow raised and your mouth hanging open, saying "...WHAT???" But above all else, you're going to love it. Kamichama Karin is about a young girl who is given the power of a goddess through a magic ring. I won't give any spoilers away, but this is the first anime I've ever seen where if you don't know the spoiler, then you'll look at this anime and think "This really doesn't look worth watching." Trust me, it is. This isn't your typical magical girl fluff.

An absolutely wonderful and romantic anime, yet funny and intense at the same time. You really can't miss It. The story captures your attention and draws you in from the first episode to the very last. To be honest, the story is very serious at some points, but that is one of the reasons why its so outstanding.
I'd say the most interesting thing about Kamichama Karin is the confusion and the things that make you wonder, "Whats happening right now? I don't get it at all" It leaves you dumbstruck for some parts, but the math behind it is simply amazing. This anime also includes not only cuteness, but sometimes a very intense atmosphere and at some times can be very random and humorous.
The Characters. They all have so many different kinds of personalities, yet that all seem so much alike a…

Ok! I finally finished this series and absolutely loved it! I loved the magic, the romance, and the occasional funny parts. Yes this anime is a bit lovey dovey and I do not recommend it to people who hate those smosh parts but I know there are lots of people out there who like these kind of things! I know I do! Anyways here is my view on things..
Story: I really did not understand the story at first for the first episode was very confusing and contained many "unknown" characters that dont get introduced until the second season ....but otherwise, I enjoyed all the weird twists and turns and found them very exciting although somewhat predictable. *sighs* The ending of the series was the most surprising yet. A lot of drama though....
Art: The art was pretty good most of the time and the mov…

I found this anime to be one of my favorites so far. The story really moved me especially the characters. It is a great anime for those people who are looking for a variety of genres. It includes romance, mystery, drama and fantasy. It's like a magic girl romance dromedy. The main plot of the story is what really brings the watcher more into it. What the plot is about is that the main character tries hard to do her best to become stronger because at first she is weak, she soon finds out about things she never knew, secrets kept from her and falls in love. It truly is a heart warming story. ^_^
