About Kamichama Karin

Kamichama Karin (かみちゃまかりん) arrives as a comedy anime by Satelight and Studio Kelmadick (2007), and the premise is easy to summarize. At its core: Karin Hanazono is an orphan, living with her relatives. Her life has never been easy, her studies are not well, she is not the best in sports and technically she is miserable.

Another thread: Left with only a ring as a memento from her departed mother, she without warning stumbles on her life changed, as she was mourning her pet cat, Shii-chan. On that night she met a peculiar boy, Kazune Kujyou. After that event, she experiences several enigmatic incidences that soon led her to find out that she is a little goddess.

With comedy at the core, timing, character chemistry and running gags decide whether it lands. Voice work is led by Mai Nakahara as Karin Hanazono and Miyuki Sawashiro as Kazune Kuujou. Think of it as a pick for viewers who want something light between heavier series. The run is 26 episodes in total, so you know what you are signing up for.
