Karin-chan Becomes a Goddess

Short Summary:
The stranger at the grave convinces Karin he can bring back her pet to life if only she gives him her ring. The second she hands it over Kazune-kun appears and protects the ring. He and the stranger start a fight why Karin is able to escape and meet up with Himeka-chan. After the stranger is gone Kazune-kun decides to tell KArin all about being a goddess, so she knows how precious her ring is and why she never should give it wawy again. So next day after school Himeka and Kazune pick up Karin and she gets to know how unbelivable rich her new freinds are. Kazune starts to explain the power of a goddess to Karin till Himeka suddenly disappears. Of course she got traped by the stranger and after Kazune faints because of some butterflies - he doesn't really like bugs of all sorts - Karin has to fight on her own. She realizes it's the will to protect somebody that gives her the power to become a goddess. Together with Kazune (who woke up after some time), who tells her she's not alone anymore, she's able to win. Now she's got new friends and Kazune tells her they are even going to attend the same middle school. KArin is very happy.

My opinion:
I'm honest, I'm blogging another episode, because the screenshots are so cute, I especially fell for Himeka. Animation as a such is really lovley and I'm very fond of the voice acting so far. Also there's this incredible portion of SD-scene humour wich comes up, when you just not expect it ^^

Karin-chan's Mysterious Ring

Opening: "Ankoku Tengoku" by Ali Project

Short Summary:
Karin's parents are dead. She lives with her aunt, but always disappoints her with her bad marks. The only thing she's got left from her parents is an old ring she always wears; her only friend is a cat called Shii-chan.
After Shii-chan dies, Karin decides to make a grave for her pet, there she meets Kazune for the first time. She thinks he's a good looking boy, but he reacts to her mourning with a stupid comment and from now on Karin is angry and tries to kick him.
Next day she meets a very cute girl - Himeka. They become friends, but the problem is that Kazune seems to be her cousin and he drives Karin crazy, because he is curious about her ring. He and Himeka raise suspicion Karin could be the Kami they are looking for. Just that moment kKarin's ring starts to glow. She thinks Kazune did this and runs away. Afterwards strange things happen around Karin - she gets good grades in math and physics. When she wishes for a rain shower to come it really happens. Can this all be coincidence?
In the end she meets Himeka and Kazune again. Before she can go mad Kazune tells her to forget about him and that he has got no intention in ruining her current lifestyle. He jsut bids her to be careful when she's alone!
And what happens? When she goes to visit Shii-chan's grave a strange guy shows up...

My opinion:
I've read the first three volumes of the manga, because I liked PitaTen a lot, but in my opinion Kami-chama Karin can't reach the same entertainment level. Still the anime is cute so far, nothing special in particular, but typical Koge Donbo cute character design and a good portion of magical girl feeling. Perhaps I will continue watching!

Ending: "Anemone" by Mai Nakahara
