The Everyday Tales of a Cat God

This is a hilarious and adorable anime series. Also, another reason I love this series, as a connoisseur of folklore and myth, is the folklore in it as a connoisseur on folklore and myth.

The series is based on a manga that follows the hi-jinks of Mayu, a nekogami (cat god) who is stripped of her powers and banished from Takama-ga-hara (the Kingdom of Gods) to Earth by her mother for gambling. There Mayu meets Yuzu, a human girl who owns an antique shop known as "Yaoyorozudou." There the two girls, along with a few young gods, go on many escapades. Well, that is all I have to say, folks.

Mayu, with her clothes and short hair, made me think she was a boy; oh well. Also, I felt sorry for her dad for being a hen-pecked schmoe; I hate hen-peckers. So overall, this is another awesome anime series. I thought it was very well written, and the animation is really cute! Now I hope they will release the series on North American DVD and the manga in English someday.
