(beware of some spoilers below)

I've never seen an anime that would be such a trashy, so poorly written, so cliche, and-from perspective of 2020-so poorly animated yet at the same time so utterly enjoyable, transgressive, bold and memorable piece of fiction.

Don't think about mecha fights, and don't go into this anime if you like mecha, the super robots are just metaphors for characters feelings. The fights literally make no sense and their only purpose is to push forward "romance" between the main characters or provide a convenient excuse for someone to be absent or someone to be present in a right place and a right time when the plot requires it.

The main focus of this anime is love triangle....WRONG! The main focus of this anime is a single person named Himemiya Chikane. Only she seems like an actual character and actively pushes the story forward. Everyone else, including her main love interest Himeko and rival Souma, is a two dimensional paper cut meant to passively and predictably react to anything Chikane is doing.

Just like she did to Himeko, Chikane makes and breaks this anime. It's really hard for me to say what she does without spoiling the best parts, but I promise you that if you like y words-yuri and yandere-you will enjoy her shenanigans. Yandere more than yuri tbh, cause if you are looking for some sweet girl x girl romance, you ain't getting it here, friend. And by this I mean you will get that, but it won't be sweet, nor believable, nor particularly humours-unless you like black comedy that is. No matter how much abuse C-kane throws at her sweetheart, she will be forgiven and looked up to by girl too pure and too honest to be alive.

You like when your love triangles are fairly well balanced and it's a mystery until the very end who will win. I get it. I like it too. But here, it's obvious that the guy doesn't stand a chance. I almost feel sorry for him, but then I remind myself he's just a papercut nobody whose entire personality consists of shouting his desire to protect Himeko. Just in the first episode you have said white kinght scream and get hurt fighting to defend his childhood sweetheart against ancient evil....as Chikane takes advantage of her unconscious body behind his back. AND IT GETS EVEN BETTER IN LATER EPISODES~

Fanservice? Ecchi? These tags don't represent the nature of Kannazuki no miko accurately. For you see, I'm 99% convinced that kannazuki no miko was originally supposed to be hentai, it's just that maybe at last possible moment the studio decided to shorten(but not remove) some of the more risque sex and rape scenes and call it a day.

Art and animation didn't age well. Unlike ost and songs by Kotoko-sama which are just glorious. The voice acting and all seemed fine too tho it kinda suffers from syndrome of fairly young men having voices of old hobos.

Most importantly Chikane's "ahahahaha" psychotic laugh was as graceful as ahahaha laugh should be so I won't complain~

Overall, this isn't just a trainwreck. This is a glorious trainwreck of epic proportions. it's objectively bad but subjectively precious anime that I can wholeheartedly recommend to every fan of y word~
