Editorial Reviews

The goddess Nagi has arrived and wants you to worship her! Nagi is the local deity spirit of the town of Kannagi and she was able to take a physical form when Jin Mikuriya carved a wooden statue of her out of a block of wood from the sacred tree of his family shrine. Nagi's mission is to cleanse the impurities that plague the land, but since her sacred tree has been cut down, she can only do this with Jin's help. While pursuing an impurity, Nagi is reunited with her sister, Zange, who happens to have converted to Catholicism. Zange's power is greater than Nagi's due to her scared tree still being in tact and becoming a local celebrity taking confessions on the street at night. The only way for Nagi to regain her power is to gather her own followers and gain popularity. Will you become one of Nagi's worshippers?

5.0 out of 5 stars Don't Let The "Sub Only" Keep You From Buying This, December 12, 2009

This is an excellent show. Don't let the "sub only" aspect keep you from buy it. Superb writing, great voice acting and an intriguing story. The animation is top notch. Considering how expensive it is to license and distribute anime in North America, I'm grateful a company took the risk and made this available.

A most buy for any serious anime fan.

4.0 out of 5 stars Ah My Goddess gets the Familiar Of Zero treatment., July 16, 2009

By 

The Amazing Rando "FREAK" (Valdosta ,GA USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Kannagi: Crazy Shrine Maidens Vol. 1 (DVD)

This show is basically Ah My Goddess meets Familiar of Zero. The story is basically the same as Goddess, a hopeless loser meets a goddess when a sculpture he carved out of a sacred tree turns into Nagi, a goddess who possessed the sacred tree. At first she's upset the the tree is gone but after some experience in the human world she's fine with it. But because the tree is gone it releases some creatures know as impurities upon the Earth and it's up to Nagi and Jin( the hopeless loser from before) to defeat them. I don't want to spoil the ending but this 13 episode series is full of genuine laughs and sad moments but it's definitely a series worth picking up. Remember Nagi needs your faith to become more powerful...

1.0 out of 5 stars ANOTHER GOOD SHOW RUINED BY GREED, November 4, 2009

Kannagi: It's a 14 Episode series that Bandai is releasing 7 eps at a time.

It's over priced, this is a subtitle only and the only possible plus is the lower compression then the import [...] What little i could see of the free episode from Bandai the subtitles are about the same, maybe they improve later but i couldn't

tell from the little i was able to see. I enjoyed the series and if it were

dub in English I'd buy it again. Bandai has delayed the release of it's

dubbed titles to release these overpriced subtitle only dvd's.
