I finished The Day I Became a God, and I think going in expecting the worst (especially hearing what people were saying about the end) made me come out of this show with a lot more positive of an outlook...
I think knowing Jun Maeda's anime work in advance really helped as well. This show is by no means a Charlotte, where it felt like chunks of important plot details were missing. But it's the leaps in logic and little details where the story falls apart...
I feel like I have a better suspension of disbelief than most people when it comes to stories pushing the boundaries of what's believable, but even this pushed mine way farther than it should go. It was almost there, it almost did it, and I'll even admit I did cry...
When a story is so close to being great, it's really hard to ignore the things holding it back. Was the last third supposed to be so uncomfortable to watch, and the first half so light and breezy? I'd like to think it was intentional, but the steps to get to that point are rough.
Kamisama ni Natta Hi looks and sounds fantastic, P.A. Works really put in their best effort. I really did enjoy this show for the most part, and it definitely does not deserve the amount of hate it's getting...
I hope Jun Maeda recovers and comes back stronger than ever, because no matter what, his stories are always interesting. And I always enjoy watching / reading them despite any issues. I would lightly recommend this show, just know what you're getting into #神様になった日
