For everyone who forgets to check the tags before watching an Anime, I remind you that this is a reverse harem.
Only girls that like to fantasize about feminine men hitting on them would watch this anime... I respect it, but this is so average, I've seen a lot of animes with lots of content trying so hard to make a good show with lower rating, it doesn't make sense!
Can't believe nobody really talks about what this show really is about... This anime doesn't even have a story, the beginning is fast and then gets super SLOW...
Each episode is about one of these unrealistic dudes hitting on the girl or talking to her aggressively and there is like 8 dudes and 12 episodes, nothing really happens here... Time never comes back.

TL;DR: If you really need a reverse harem otome fix, sure, watch this. But you'll keep on living your life just fine if you end up skipping this one.
L;DR:
Being lonely, bored, and deprived, I've been spending my time on watching shows like this: based off an otome game and extremely indulgent. At only twelve episodes, I figured I could knock the show out in a couple days and get some entertainment out of it.
I wasn't wrong, it is quite entertaining. Is it good? Um... no?
The plot seems a little more equivalent to that of a pre-teen's self-insert Percy Jackson fan fiction, but if you look past the quite frankly ludicrous premise, it's at least solid. Sure, nothing really makes sense. Why is there a talking stuffed animal? Why are the only other students at the school "spirits"? Why is t…

Incoherent rant warning read with a pinch if salt this show is not that bad i actually liked it though it might not seem so. Also spoilers, also also way to much use of the word also
... disappointing. I mean there is nothing really wrong with this show and if you are just looking for a generic romcom it is perfect. Though only if you have no clue about the mythology. I have no clue about the japanese gods of most of japanese myths so i may miss some things but the greek and norse gods were so out of character. Loki was't the worst at most he was slightly mean and drew on someones face. Also he is now BBF with Balder who he originally killed in the myths... Twice! Thor is a background character who was the silent and strong stereotype... THOR!!! the man who is drunk and angry and fighting…

[STORY] - 10/10
-----------
The story was truly amazing. The little teaser in the beginning of the anime really put an interesting vibe into the audience, and I truly did not expect the ending either. It got me very emotional in the end, and it bothered me having to think that the ending was how it ended. Maybe there is a continuation of the anime in the manga? I don't know, but if there isn't then the producers of this anime is really making me think what happens next. I've also heard rumors that there is a second season to the anime, and I really hope so, although my hopes are low because it has been more than 4 years since the release. (Ye there's probably no season 2 lol) The ending was still truly amazing though, and I won't be disappointed if it ended like how it ended.

Well, that was a lot better than I expected! I am an avid otome player and I've seen a few anime that have been based off the reverse harem ideas or games, and most of the time, they don't go very well (see Amnesia).
However, Kamigami no Asobi manages to pull it off a lot better than most.
To begin with, the story: it manages to bring together the plot in the first episode quite well. There are a few plot holes or things that weren't explained to the finest, but those are issues that can be overlooked because the series was so short to begin with. In addition to this, it's important to note that the series was mainly episodic. A character was chosen to be the focus and then elaborated upon for an episode or so. I'll come back to this when we talk about characters. The overarching plot w…

Story: 9
The plot was very well thought out. Not once did I feel like they were trying to force stuff to happen. The plot made sense, it was interesting, complex, and easy to follow. The only thing that made it a 9, and not a 10, was the fact that there was no actual romantic relationship that emerged with the main character. That's just my own preference though, and the fact that there was no relationship actually fits the plot perfectly.
Art: 10
The art was amazing. The scenery was beautifully drawn, the characters each had their own unique look that made them very appealing to look at (especially the gods, they're hot as f#%& if I do say so myself).
Sound: 9
There's nothing particularly wrong with the way they sound. Everyone's voice matched them, except for Melissa. The reason I gave…

The first episode caught my eye with everyone's unique personality, the art style and the sound so i was very intrigued, but then as I watched further through the anime, it felt so rushed that there isn't much of a connection going on with the characters that would help each other develop further more, but I did enjoy the anime and wasn't really expecting the ending, the ending touched my kokoro since I really like the guys, especially Apollo.
I hope that there is a season 2 since I really like it because of the unique personalities and even if the backstories aren't that very detailed that can make the viewers feel what the characters would feel, I still think that it is interesting and somehow only Apollo and Yui are the only one I can see having a deep connection.

When I first read the synopsis I thought, oh cool, this sounds like something interesting, and I thought of the possibilities such a concept could have. So going into the anime I was pretty excited. After watching the anime I feel as if I wasted my time, when I could have been watching a far better show. Here I'll go into my reasoning:
Story(2):
The show doesn't have much of a plot, it is basically the female protagonist getting to know all the characters (which makes sense because it is based on a otome game), which, for me, was pretty boring to watch. In addition, the anime gradually leads up to a main conflict/climax, but it is unknown what this climax is until the end, when they introduce it, resolve it, and wrap up the anime in about 2 episodes. It simply felt pointless, and the en…

Kamigami no Asobi is the best Reverse Harem i ever watch. I experience sadness and happiness watching this anime.
The plot of the anime was understood. It show slight fan service and non of the episode will bored you. Every episode will show a plot which can be tear jerking, humorous and makes you fan girl.
This anime makes me portray the MC, Yui as a strong willed, hard working, persuasive and NOT a slut as i usually see in Reverse Harem MC. Since some of the gods are hard to approach Yui work hard and even when in danger fight for what she wants. Unlike other reverse harem MC, Yui doesnt throw herself towards the god (The gods is freaking hot i would not be able to control myself, even more when they transform )and is a very active MC. Always outside of her room and even in another world…

Finally, an otome game adaptation that sits well with me! Kamigami no Asobi has an interesting premise-- Girl and a bunch of Gods (only dudes, no Goddess because this is a dating sim) are trapped in a magic high school. The human girl must teach the Gods about humanity and love, otherwise they'll be trapped in the school.
Characters are all interesting. Of course, there are some that follow certain cliches/ has one outstanding trait about them, but for the most part, they are all fleshed out. The main character is a cut above most other otome adaptation heroines in which she does get things done, but her personality is rather stale in comparison to the male cast.
The story is pretty okay as well. It starts off pretty much slice-of-life ish for the first half, but quickly dives into full…

Amusing and surprisingly creative, Kamigami no Asobi was far more enjoyable that I thought it was going to be. Not only is the art lovely, but all of the characters were surprisingly likable. One would think that in a show that's basically about tons of guys having the hots for the main girl, there would be one douchebag that you pray the heroine won't fall for.
Not so with this. Like its brother anime Uta no Prince Sama, pretty much all of the male cast were decent guys, if not somewhat one dimensional. One character I found surprisingly lovable was the god of the Underworld himself, Hades.
Unlike Prince Sama, however, this anime had a more creative spin to it. I mean, it's not every day that you see mythological gods as love interests. I have to be honest, I was kind of disappointed t…

I honestly really liked this story. It did a good job highlighting each characters attributes, while answering the question posed to the viewers. I felt like each episode was its own little tale, they fit together but they were also different. If your looking at this being a "romantic" anime then I would go elsewhere. It has the elements, but lacked the development which disappointed me. However, I really grew attached to the characters. They all had such different personalities and it was really fun to experience. I would totally watch this anime if your looking for a different kind of reverse harem. If your having reservations about watching it, don't. I was skeptical about watching it at first, and I put it off. I'm glad that I gave it a chance!

You have to watch this anime! Through character development is not one of its strong point, it sound and animation is! I love its parts, and as you know from its cover, it is full of hot guys who I wish were real! I love the ending but won't elaborate any further. It disappointed though that everything was rushed, but I love to see a second season. Similar to some reverse harems, this anime has nose bleeds moments and melodrama, but it is good anime to watch or waste time on. Like a bowl of pho after a hangover, in anime terms a perfect anime after Attack on Titan or Tokyo Ghoul.

From the perspective of someone who watched both seasons of Uta no Prince-sama, Kamigami no Asobi is a solid 6. It's by no means a spectacular show, but it does its job decently well in 12 episodes and makes for an entertaining, if not particularly fascinating, experience.
The concept is a unique one: Kusanagi Yui, a pretty normal Japanese girl, is summoned to a strange school to help teach young gods how to care about humans. In the first episode alone, she encounters many of her new classmates, as well as Zeus himself, the commanding king of the gods who created the very school out of thin air and can restrict the other gods' powers.
As the show continues, it becomes slightly obsessed with "normal" concepts, as Yui attempts to essentially teach the gods how to be human; this either wor…

I am a big fan of well executed reverse harems, and I can certainly add this anime to the list of good ones. So here goes!
Story: 7
This anime had every element I would expect from a good reverse harem. It begins by introducing the situation (a bunch of gods and one human chick forced to attend a school where they must learn about the human heart before they are allowed to leave and go back to their own worlds) and then begins working on developing each character little by little. At first, the episodes are pretty much what you'd expect from a reverse harem: each seems to focus one one specific dude and a certain problem that the heroine assists them in solving, with a couple of episodes thrown in that feature the group as a whole overcoming a problem together. This is done very well- the…

I'm sorry in advance if this review isn't necessarily in standard format, but it's hard for me to compartmentalize like that, but this show surprised me so I thought it needed a review.
Kamigami no Asobi is not quite what it seems and certainly not what the synopsis implies. I came into this show expecting a mindless otome adaptation type show with a bit of mythology thrown in. Fun, but no big deal right? I got so much more than I bargained for. This show had me literally laughing out loud every week. No matter what your sense of humor their is most likely at least one character who shares it. Which is a lovely segway to my next point, characters. Yes, it is a reverse harem and as such follows plenty of character tropes, BUT every character is well developed, almost every character has a…

This anime was a beautiful anime that I eagerly awaited each week. The art was wonderful with stunning colors and beautiful designs, and the voice acting was very good. I loved the character development and the costumes for each character. This anime is very much a reverse harem, if you don't like those, then maybe you shouldn't watch this anime, but you might be astounded by the interesting storyline. I believe this anime is based off an otome type game, and while I haven't played the game, I quite like the anime. This anime has a kind and caring main character who try's her best to be helpful and make the best of the situation. The main character is surrounded by gods from different cultures who each bring a different persona to the mix. This anime was very fun and made me laugh. I ecspe…

Well then, that was nice so another reverse harem 2014 spring anime has ended, so no more fucking around as I state my ratings for each of this anime's category:
Very Good 8:
Story- At first I thought that it's gonna be one of those usual reverse harem genre, but then again it's a bit different as the plot focuses on a girls whose mission was to make them deities understand the meaning of being human and therefore ending their never-dying bickering for one another. Well, of course there were still those usual helping one another thing and the competition for the maiden's heart and a usual harem ending except here the harem ending was put on an acceptable level.
Enjoyment- As usual the enjoyment part is where one would ask the question as to whom the girl is gonna choose among the deiti…

At last, this anime has finished airing (although I am pretty sure specials will be on their way). I will not include any spoilers, just cause not even the barely-decent stuff is worth mentioning.
Ever since this anime was green-lit, I was really excited to watch it. The original game comes from Broccoli, who also made Uta no Prince--and I loved the anime for that game, albeit the second season got pretty ridiculous. I love otome games in general, so I was psyched to watch another anime based on a game. But now that the anime is over, I feel extremely disappointed and that I've wasted 12 weeks watching this.
Story: Now, the story seems decent. However, since this is a reverse harem show, obviously the anime will have little stories in it dedicated to individual gods and their respective…

Story 7/10
The storyline is nothing particularly creative and inventive, and relies almost entirely on its characters. It follows the various adventures of the different gods and the main character interacting with them, so it feels sort of episodic with an over-arching plot in the background. That is, until the final few episodes where the true final plot is unveiled, which I admit it was fairly interesting but very cliched. I will give it props for going a different direction than what the first few episodes suggested, though.
Art and Sound 7/10
The Art was nothing truly spectacular, but it was by no means bad, either, and the same could be said for the music. Nothing felt out of place or weird, but at the same time nothing really stood out besides maybe one of the titles and the ope…
