ForeverInspired's Review Violence / Gore: It mostly is slapstick violence. However, one character gets hit by a vehicle early on, and the camera quickly flashes to a new scene. Also, there are some flashbacks to some samurai style fighting with people getting cut down. When one boy is having trouble with bullies, another character gives him a knife and the option to solve with violence (he doesn't in the end). Finally, there are a few fight scenes in the end where characters get mortally wounded. Nudity / Sexual Content: There is a bath scene where barely anything is visible. One boy sleeps with a girl when he is scared of the dark and has some dirty thoughts. In fact, we learn when he is having these thoughts because it affects another character. Two male characters go into the women's restroom for their "job" while another female goes in. Also, towards the end we see one girl without clothes - but it's not detailed. I guess you can say that she was in this floating state of "unconscious". Potentially problematic theological themes: Main character is a god, and the show revolves around gods. The gods' helpers are those that have "passed on" but are still "around" in this world. They take various forms. The gods have to keep the unclean spirits out of the world. One character is on the cusp of life and death and has both a spirit body and normal body. Other potentially problematic themes: There is some drinking, smoking, and swearing. Also, when the bully finds himself in a corner, he wets himself. FINAL VERDICT: This was by far my favorite show from the Winter 2014 season. It was able to stick to the plot and develop its characters so fluidly. The music and animation are pristine. Also, the ending is satisfying while leaving enough room for a sequel (which I would love!). The series plays the comedy well, and the serious and touching parts really pull on heart strings. Highly, highly, highly recommended! |
