About Mythical Detective Loki Ragnarok

Meet Mythical Detective Loki Ragnarok (Matantei Loki Ragnarok), a comedy, supernatural and shounen anime by Studio Deen (2003). Here is the premise in a nutshell. The setup: 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 pushed to take the form of a child.

From there, 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.

In a comedy series like this, timing, character chemistry and running gags decide whether it lands. This one is best suited to viewers who want something light between heavier series.
