About Sunday Without God

If you are hunting for a new adventure series, Sunday Without God (神さまのいない日曜日) deserves a look (2013). The setup goes like this. The setup: Fifteen years ago, God abandoned the world and closed the gate to Heaven, leaving the souls of humankind trapped in limbo. With the dead unable to rest and the living unable to have children, the world is slowly coming to a halt.

Further in, the only key to mankind’s salvation rests with the Gravekeepers, enigmatic beings charged with the task of sending the deceased to their final resting place. Twelve-year-old Ai, one of the last children in the world, soon comes across herself shouldered with the burden of becoming her village’s newest Gravekeeper. Beneath the village’s unassuming exterior lies a dark concealed that is revealed with the arrival of a gun-wielding stranger in black.

In an adventure series like this, exploration, new locations and a steady sense of momentum drive the story. Voice work is led by Aki Toyosaki as Ai and Daisuke Namikawa as Hampnie Hambart. It will appeal most to anyone who enjoys travel-the-world storytelling. At 12 episodes in total, it is easy to plan a viewing schedule.
