Kamisama Kiss is a 2012 Japanese anime television series based on the manga series of the same name written and illustrated by Julietta Suzuki. The anime was produced by TMS Entertainment and directed by Akitaro Daichi. It ran from October 1, 2012, to December 24, 2012, on TV Tokyo.[1] The opening theme is "Kamisama Hajimemashita" (神様はじめました, lit. "I became a God") and the ending theme "Kamisama Onegai" (神様お願, lit. "Please, God"), both performed by Hanae. The 17th issue of Hakusensha's Hana to Yume magazine announced in August 2014 that the manga series inspired a second anime season, which aired from January 5, 2015 to March 30, 2015.[2][3] The opening theme is "Kamisama no Kamisama" (神様の神様, lit. "God of God") and the ending theme "Ototoi Oide" (おとといおいで, lit. "Come Another Day"), both once again performed by Hanae.
There are two OVA episodes, which first aired on August 26, 2013, bundled with the 16th volume of the manga. One of the included episodes is based on the story from the 15th volume, while the other contains an all-new original story. A four-part original animation DVD (OAD) known as "Kako-hen" (過去篇, lit. "Past Arc") began airing on August 20, 2015, and is based on the "past arc" of the series, spanning from the 14th through 17th volumes of the manga series. A new OAD, previously announced as Kamisama, Kekkon Zenya, released as Kamisama, Shiawase ni Naru was bundled with the Kamisama Hajimemashita 25.5 official fanbook on December 20, 2016.[4][5]
The anime has been licensed for streaming and home video by Crunchyroll LLC, formerly known as Funimation Entertainment.[6][7]
