Editorial Reviews

Ah, how the mighty have fallen! Caged inside a little boy’s body and banished to Earth by the almighty Odin, the still-proud-and-powerful Loki now runs the Enjaku Detective Agency. Joined by his trusted assistant Yamino and a beautiful (but accident prone) high school girl named Mayura, Loki earns a living probing the darkest corners of the paranormal, the occult, and the otherwise peculiar. And yet the one metaphysical mystery that involves him directly remains unsolved: what has he done to be exiled to Earth? How can he return to Asgard? Why do the other Norse Gods want him dead? Join in the adventures as our mystery trio take on hair-raising hauntings, possessed dolls, vengeful birds of prey, and penny-pinching deities, in this, the first installment of Mythical Detective Loki Ragnarok, brought to you by the director of Orphen, King of Bandit Jing and Slayers!

4.0 out of 5 stars I Loved It, November 8, 2005

This review is from: Mythical Detective Loki Ragnarok (Vol. 1) (DVD)

I bought this DVD simply because it sounded a bit interesting and, as it turns out, it was well worth the money. The opening and ending animations are gorgeous and the plot ranges from serious to very funny. After all, what could be more amusing than watching a god dress up in a giant anteater outfit to pay his rent?

This review is from: Mythical Detective Loki Ragnarok (Vol. 1) (DVD)

If you loved Case Closed or Spiral than this anime I recommend to you. It's mystery with a dash of comedy and Norse gods, a strange combination you might think but it actually works quite nicely. I loved volumes 1&2 and now I'm anxious to get volume 3, this series makes me giggle like a little school girl with it's humor and it's childish looks make me just want to smother the characters in hugs (especially Loki).

5.0 out of 5 stars BEST I HAVE SEEN FOR A LONG TIME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!, July 18, 2006

This review is from: Mythical Detective Loki Ragnarok (Vol. 1) (DVD)

My daughter picked the Loki detective up Vol 1-Vol 5
I wasn't too thrilled when she showed them to me but once
we started watching them I could not wait to get home from work
to see the next vol. I was told that Vol 6 would be coming out
sometime later in Month of July but Vol 7 would not be out til
Sept. I like it a lot better when you have so many vols to a set,
if they would have them where you can buy them together and not have to wait. This was a great set and I would highly recommend everyone who likes norse gods and mysteries to buy this. You have several gods who are trying to kill Loki the god of mischief. As an adult he was a ladysman, but Odin put him in the body of a child and the ladies just think he is cute. When Loki is in his adult body all the girls fall over themselves. Loki battles evil and keeps it in flames in the storeroom in the basement of his home and when he collects enough he hopes to return to his normal size and return home to Asgard. Odin sends many gods to try to kill him and Loki is confused as to what he has done to deserve banishment and to have to defend himself from the other gods. Several of the gods that are on earth ended up being his friend and help him when the Gods sent to kill him come after him. Really a great addition to your DVD collection!!!
