Momo is a young female death god who takes souls of humans. While doing her job, she also feels the depression and sheds tear for every life she has to take. This is a story about a Death God that goes through good (which is watching) and bad times (when she has to take life).


Episode 1 : Your Voice

I probably might edit to add more info to it. Um... the show started off pretty well with a good OP and ED. Looking at the next episode preview makes me think that its going to focus on different characters. i never read the manga (if there is one that is) so if this is how the story will be then i approve of this story/anime.

Saw this last night, it left a strong impression. The 1st episode was pretty touching and sad, too bad it has to be one shot stories.



reminds me of a reverse Jigoku Shoujo. look forward to seeing more of this

Fantastic news. Jigoku Shoujo is boring me for there is nothing to keep me hooked. I'll be waiting for Triad's subs.

The first episode was boring and too ... blah.

I don't think I will be following this series.
It felt like an less scary Vampire princess Miyu, aimed for children.
Someone dies in every episode and it's supposed to be supersad yaddi yadda yaddah. It's been done over and over again.. and quite frankly, making it sad all the time sorta takes off the niceness of it.


Even though the whole animation + characters didn't really get to me, I'm going to give it another episode, before I dump it.

I really liked it. It kinda has a pace similar to Aria. Not action packed like those fighting series. From watching episode 1 anyway =p It also reminded me of Kita He ~ Diamond Dust Drops, where every 2 episodes is about a different character each time. This will prolly tie me over till season 2 of Aria starts.

I think I worded that wrong, since you got the wrong idea. They're basically the same type of idea, but except this show is much more happy, lighthearted, etc. so you'll probably find this one boring too.

the second episode was released by c1.

I'm d/ling ep 2 now. This show intrigued me as well. I'm getting very low speeds for this series though. I guess no one's interested :(

Note: I also love Jigoku Shoujo; been wanting to make a thread in free time. Interesting and clever analogy comparing the two.

i heard of the anime being only 6 episodes..so thats the only difference between these two so far..

hm.. i havent heard of the anime before..
perhaps i should try dling it...
the death god idea reminds me of bleach though.. i guess its turning into a popular topic

I'll try the first episode, it sound interesting in my opinion. And to be honest, I really liked the photo of the Shinigami.

Thanks for it!! But it need to be fixed:

the second episode was pretty good. im glad asano realized his actions and probably wont try to act all silent with a stupid face. good thing no one died in this episode u.u.

T_T I'm happy for them... shame that only static character is Shinigami and her cat... well can't wait for 3rd one!!

I've just watched the first episode, it's very good.



When watching this anime the next thing I thought was : Wouldn't it be good if there were a Valkyrie's Profile anime ?
It could be a lot like this one, but with more strong emotions and a bit of action.

This series almost reminds me of a blend of Full Moon wo Sagashite with the whole death god motif. Every episode drips with angst and stays interesting because of that, especially with the way the characters come to terms as to what happened (like episode 2). The fact that many of them change for the better keeps the series from being too depressing (which isn't a bad thing).

I'm interested in seeing how this series develops in the way Momo interacts with the other characters. Hopefully not all of the situations will involve romance, or at the very least, stay interesting without being overly repetitive.

in exciting news.. the 3rd episode is out.
