Kamichu! (short for 'Kamisama de Chuugakusei', loosely 'The Goddess is a Middle-School Student') is a single-season 'slice of life' anime series the focuses on middle-school student Yurie who suddenly becomes a God (one of a great many, following traditional Japanese Shinto beliefs) and who must now not only deal with the usual issues a middle-schooler must (like her one-sided crush on a boy in her class) but also the new powers and responsibilities that her now Godliness entails. Like most slice-of-life series, Kamichu! doesn't have a whole lot in the way of grandiose plot or drama- after the initial setup and establishment of the characters, the stories largely stand on their own. There's also really not much action, essentially (but not entirely) no fighting, and overall not a whole lot of real conflict. Kamichu! moves at a very slow pace at times- heck, in one episode Yurie never moves from underneath her family's Kotatsu (heated table) for the entire episode. But (again, like many slice-of-life series), the show is far more about the characters and how they approach their everyday lives and the lessons they learn while doing so. Overall, it's just a nice, relaxing, and cute show that's great when you want to sit back and watch something that will give you a warm and fuzzy feeling.
