A very cute, laid back short comedy with a pleasant vibe and great characters. It's actually educational to an extent if you look up who the different gods are and what their purpose is, so you can learn something from it too. The animation is very well done and incorporates the Egyptian Hieroglyphic style into an anime style nicely. The gags aren't really the laugh-out-loud gut laugh kind of jokes, but they have a subtle charm that's very cute. I always loved ancient Egypt when I was a kid and this was fun to revisit some of what I loved about it.

Fun and entertaining short anime :)

Although the episodes and the series aren't very long, this is a really cute & entertaining anime. I really like how there's a humorous story about the daily life of ancient Egyptian deities, with a touch of modernity. The characters have really memorable personalities, everyone has their distinct behaviors etc. The animation style of the gods & goddesses is a bit abstract/simple but containing the "essence" of each one.
I'd recommend it to everyone who likes ancient Egypt theme, short comedy or slice-of-life genre.
I'm waiting to watch the sequel as although it's different from most series I watched before, this will always be a nice anime I'll enjoy.
My favorite characters are Anubis (he's also my favorite Egyptian deity in general), Thoth and Ba…

Toutotsu, or Oh, Suddenly Egyptian God, is such a joy to watch! Whether you already have some knowledge of Egyptian mythology or just decided it looked cute, you're bound to love this show. There's nothing particularly amazing about it but this slice of life about the gods and goddesses of Egypt is so charming and adorable that it's hard not to like it. The characters aren't completely true to the original myths but then again, if they were then this wouldn't be the lighthearted show we know and love! (Also, surprisingly, there's a lot of big-time VAs in this show like Yuki Kaji lol) The show is a solid 7/10 for me. Still, if you are looking for a simple and cute show to simply have a fun time with then this is the show for you! :)

The soundtrack is bubbly and fitting, and the art style and character designs have a very whimsical and appealing feel to them (Sobek and Set are my favorites!). I love how each character follows the same black-white-gold color scheme, it really helps them stand out in front of the vibrant watercolor-like backgrounds.
Story-wise it's a little lacking, but with how short the episodes are and how most come to a show like this for the characters and not the story, this isn't too much of a problem. I love all of the references, and they aren't so reliant that if you don't get it you won't be losing out on much!
The characters are very entertaining, though not the most accurate to their mythological counterparts.
Overall I really liked it and recommend it to anyone who has an interest in a…

Toutotsu is the type of educational anime that has always appeared over the years. This time, Egyptian gods are the protagonists of this definitely hilarious story. Anubis, Toth, Seth, Horus and other characters are eccentric and have peculiarities that please and convey a good feeling of pleasure with short animes, a difficult thing lately, since most of these shows appeal to anime clichés. Toutotsu manages to be exclusive and independent when it comes to the diversity of episodes. All are well produced and have very good scenes.
Making a comparison with Olympia Kyklos, Toutotsu can be defined as "The Olympia of Egypt", where the culture and habits of the African country are shown, based on the ancient Egyptian religion. In addition, the practice of mummification, ceramics and pizza are…
