After the premiere of the new isekai anime series, KamiKatsu: Working for God in a Godless World became a hot topic among the fanbase for both good and bad reasons. While some anime watchers seemed to have appreciated the premiering episode, there was one blunder that overshadowed everything, the poor CGI work by Studio Palette in creating the monster in the first episode.

As such, the CGI work didn't go unnoticed by viewers after the makers decided to use a closeup shot of the monster. However, the move was unappreciated by the fans, leading the studio to receive criticism for their work. A few fans even called the series to have the ugliest anime CGI.

However, some fans agreed that despite the bad CGI, the overall plot was interesting. Therefore, even though this particular scene's CGI was met with criticism, the subsequent plot made fans stay and enjoy the premiering episode.

The monster, or the strange beast statue, that looked like a bison made its appearance within the initial 10 minutes of the anime when the protagonist in the other world was farming with his companion Roy. They ended up making a run for their lives after the encounter. Since that particular scene, there was no such blunder in the CGI, and the plot carried on smoothly without any interruptions.

KamiKatsu: Working for God in a Godless World moved from showing the protagonist who desired a world without the concept of god in his real life to being reincarnated into a godless world. As he went on with his new life, he came to understand the negatives of a place without a god or source of belief. As such, the rest of the season is expected to chronicle his journey of inner awakening while bypassing his initial beliefs.

Even though the series has a comical tone to it, it also takes a darker turn later on. After all the criticism and mixed reactions, it seems like the hype around the anime is here to stay for a while.


Episode 2 of KamiKatsu - Working for God in a Godless World is scheduled to be released on Thursday, April 13, 2023, at 1:30 am JST.
