About Sunday Without God

Looking for background on Sunday Without God (神さまのいない日曜日)? This adventure, drama and fantasy series by MADHOUSE (2013) starts out like this. In short: 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 realm is slowly coming to a halt.

Soon after, the only key to mankind’s salvation rests with the Gravekeepers, mysterious 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 finds 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.

As an adventure title, exploration, new locations and a steady sense of momentum drive the story. Ai (Aki Toyosaki) and Hampnie Hambart (Daisuke Namikawa) are two of the characters you will meet early. Think of it as a pick for anyone who enjoys travel-the-world storytelling. The run is 12 episodes in total, so you know what you are signing up for.

Production & Appeal
