Kamisama no memochou

Sup people!!! After a taking short break, i am back for more anime reviews!!! Surprising there was no school on the second day of the new term.. Woah!! but then again i can foresee many stressful things coming.. things aside, ''Kamisama no memochou'' or ''Heaven memo pad's'' is actually a detective based anime... Thats mean you can expect to have some mystery, suspense and even actions... Something different would be that one of the main lead is actually a loli!! A loli solving mystery? This is no kiddy show by the way... It has a total of 12 episodes..

Ratings: 8/10



The story follows a ordinary highschool student, Fujishima Narumi.. There is only one thing that can really describe him, lifeless and plain.. He is completely isolated from other people , even his family...One day everything changed when he met one of his female classmates, shinozaki ayaka who invited him to joins the gardening club... Ayaka later also introduces her to a group of NEET and Alice, a NEET detective but also a Hikikomori at the same time... And through some turns of events, narumi was hired as Alice assistance and helps her to solve mysteries upon request by people... Narumi then finds himself leading a meaningful and exciting life everyday...


*Hikikomori : It refers to people who chose to withdraw from social life and seeking extreme isolations due to some reasons..

*NEET : It is a term given to people currently not in education, employment or training...



''Kamisama no memochou'' is actually quite a serious anime... but then it still have minor comic relief every here and there... The scene's are really funny.. definitely can make normal people laugh.. At the start, i was totally blur and was thing like what the hell is going on here.... but not to worry actually because many things will start to become clearer slowly.. This anime is definitely something that must follow closely or else you will miss out some little details.. In other words, you can get lost easily.. Still, you will somehow get the hang of it as you progressed...

Character wise,Alice is a wonderful female lead... I, myself is not really a big fan of loli's.. However after knowing Alice, i just can't get enough of her.. If she is not moving, people can easily mistook her as a doll.. Thats how cute she is :D Like i say, don't think tat this anime is some kiddy show just because of alice.. It is really nothing like that.. Alice role is just to make a contrast in the show after all majority of the characters are guys.. Did i mention there are some busty girls :P

Despite having so many good points, there are still some stuff that lowers the score.. One of which will be the length of the anime.. It is just way too short... Quite a pity here.. Because it is just too sad to say goodbye to Alice D: Apart from it, some of things are not really explain clearly... so it gets kind of confusing at times.. Lastly will the ending.. I am someone who see the ending as something important.. the anime just end off too normally.. It does not end off on a high note and neither at a very low mood.. So it does not really has this memorable effect..



Soundtracks:

1. Kawaru Mirai by Choucho (OP 1)

2. Asunaro by Kenichi Suzumura (ED 1)

3. Teddy by Taku Iwasaki (Insert)


For a 12 episode anime, it is pretty decent to have only have one opening and one ending and an additional insert song... ''Kawaru Mirai'' and ''Asunaro'' was something that did not catch my attention at the start... However after the first 2 episodes, i know i need to get the songs in my ipod.. It is just too catchy!! ''Teddy'' Definitely suits the detective theme and the scene... It totally gives off the creepy and suspense feelings..Nice!!


''Kamisama no memochou'' is definitely a must watch for lolicons. I can safely tell you that Alice would not let you down... Sadly to say, there are really not much action here.. but with Alice around, you should expect many funny gags coming up.. IF you are looking for some deep plot, here is the one.. Looking for some cute girls solving mysteries and at the same time with some funny characters? ''Kamisama no memochou'' is something that you do not want to miss...
