Kannagi (Kannagi: Crazy Shrine Maidens) Review

I recently finished watching an anime known as Kannagi: Crazy Shrine Maidens or just Kannagi for short, so as you guessed I'm going to review it. Like many anime, Kannagi originated as a 12-volume manga written by Eri Takenashi and then was made into a 13-episode 2008 anime series by A1 Pictures. Additionally there is a light novel and an OVA which is considered the 14th episode.
Kannagi is a supernatural, drama, romantic comedy anime which uses the concept of goddesses as commonly seen in many anime.


Summary
Jin Mikuriya makes a wood sculpture from the remains of a guardian tree, but gets more than he bargained for when a girl materializes from the statue! Her name is Nagi, the troublesome and at times violent deadly deity of the land; and with nowhere to go, she announces that she will stay with Jin. Now, with Jin's help and a magical girl wand purchased at the local convenience store, Nagi aims to exorcise the impurities that are infecting the land. Though when the sacred tree is finally uprooted, it is only a matter of time before her powers will diminish; thus, new object of worship is required, and better object than Nagi herself! However, obtaining your goal of becoming a popular idol is not so straightforward, especially when you have to compete with your sister, who is unwilling to share her fan base and plans to sabotage you at every step!


My Thoughts
I liked Kannagi and I'm pretty glad I watched it. Kannagi was some pretty high quality animation and art and has a rather interesting concept. Kannagi has a pretty good cast of characters that make the show funny and interesting at the same time. Overall, Kannagi was amusing, entertaining, interesting, and funny show. I would highly recommend it for anyone who's a fan of supernatural, gods, or romantic comedy type anime.


My Conclusion
I would give Kannagi 4.5/5 stars. The concept was very interesting and some pretty good elements to it. The characters make the show even more amusing and comedic at the same time. A similar anime which also involves goddesses is Kamichu which I will watch and review in the future!
