About Mythical Detective Loki Ragnarok

Mythical Detective Loki Ragnarok (魔探偵ロキ RAGNAROK) blends comedy, mystery and supernatural by Studio DEEN (2003). Below is a fresh retelling of what the story is about. At its core: Loki, the Norse god of mischief, has been exiled to the human realm for what was apparently a bad joke. Along with being exiled, he's compelled to take the form of a child.

As things develop, he's told the only way he can get back to the realm of the gods is if he can collect auras of evil that take over human hearts, and so to do this he runs a detective agency. Loki is soon joined by a human girl named Mayura who is a maniac for mysteries, and she soon helps out in her own way. However, soon other Norse gods begin to appear, and most have the intent to assassinate Loki for reasons unclear.

With comedy at the core, timing, character chemistry and running gags decide whether it lands. Loki (Takahiro Sakurai) and Mayura Daidouji (Yui Horie) are two of the characters you will meet early. If you count yourself among viewers who want something light between heavier series, put it on your list. The run is 26 episodes in total, so you know what you are signing up for.
