About Mythical Detective Loki Ragnarok

If you are hunting for a new comedy series, Mythical Detective Loki Ragnarok (魔探偵ロキ RAGNAROK) deserves a look (2003). The setup goes like this. What the story covers: Loki, the Norse god of mischief, has been exiled to the human world 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 world 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.

As a comedy title, timing, character chemistry and running gags decide whether it lands. Voice work is led by Takahiro Sakurai as Loki and Yui Horie as Mayura Daidouji. This one is best suited to viewers who want something light between heavier series. The run is 26 episodes in total, so you know what you are signing up for.
