The Idaten Deities Know Only Peace Review

What if God was one of us? Its something you wouldn't really think about, would you? Ever since Joan Osborne's hit 'One of Us' in 1995, though, society has been plagued by it. After all, what would it look like if a god lived among us? Would they be just a slob like us, a stranger on the bus? Or perhaps a powerful hero, a real-life Superman in the flesh?

Most shows and games, it seems, take the latter route, preferring their undercover gods to do extraordinary things, rather than hide in plain sight. Series like Noragami (which I've previously reviewed here) turn the concept of gods into immortal superheroes, ones who look human but possess astonishing abilities. These characters find their purpose in doing good for others, protecting the powerless and ensuring the safety of those they care about. But what if the almighty heroes just didn't give a shit?

Enter: The Idaten Deities Know Only Peace, an action seinen series originally published starting in 2019, which got an anime adaptation in 2021. The series takes place in a world plagued by generic demons, which are fought by powerful gods known as Idaten. 800 years before the plot, three strong Idaten sealed the demons away, leaving their protégé to keep the peace in their stead. With the obvious demon threat gone, the next generation of Idaten question their purpose, and face a more cunning, hidden demonic enemy.

Right off the bat, TIDKOP resembles your typical action shonen series. The main character is a short tempered boy who likes fighting, who is friends with a book-smart nerd and a soft girly girl. He is trained by a wise old warrior who teaches him to fight, and protects him from more powerful threats. Together, they face an organization of monstrous evil-doers, each with their own signature abilities and fighting styles. Add a handful of references to real-world religions, a dash of big fight scenes, and a tablespoon of misogyny, and you're on your way to generic stardom!

Much of TIDKOP is centered around its formulaic plot cycle. The secret team of demons will reveal a new part of their world domination plan, which the Idaten learn of somehow. A demon or two is sent to take out the Idaten in secret, but they're easily defeated and dismembered. The Idaten team gain some information about the demons' plans, and the demons struggle to formulate a new plan. Its Saturday morning cartoon stuff, really.

Even when the plot tries to switch things up (when the Idaten lose an advantage), they're quick to return to normalcy, because they rarely ever lose. The Idaten themselves are so ridiculously overpowered, that most situations are dealt with handily before the audience can fully register what is happening. For instance, this show will introduce a cool new enemy with an interesting power, only for them to be decapitated in under five minutes, and rarely ever mentioned again. Any reasonable series would give it's audience more time to get to know an antagonist before throwing them to the wolves, but TIDKOP, it seems, is anything but reasonable.

While overpowered characters are to be expected from a series about deities, TIDKOP's poor pacing show that it cares more about it's characters punching their enemies into craters than it does about telling a worthwhile story. Action shows like these use fights as important benchmarks, to show character growth or introduce new concepts to the audience. Here, though, most fights exist just to remind the audience of the Idaten's superhuman strength, or to remove a minor character from existence.

The fights, admittedly, are pretty neat, though they serve little beyond spectacle, or miniscule plot development. When the main trio of Idaten aren't getting their bones re-arranged by their mentor, they're re-arranging the bones of demons, who, as mentioned before, were irrelevant up until the fight and become irrelevant again after their defeat. Characters exchange blows, take turns trying to outwit each other, and than one gets slammed into a mountain, or decapitated if the show is feeling daring that day. After a while, it all blends together, to the point where as I write this, I'm struggling to distinguish major fights from one another.

With it's fights being some commonplace yet unimportant, TIDKOP has less to distract from its disturbing moments, making them stain the anime as a whole a lot darker. This series is a 'seinen', a show marketed towards an older teen to young adult audience, so you would expect that the contents of this series would be a bit more mature than your typical action shonen. You also probably wouldn't expect the first episode to end with a rape scene, which smash cuts to a bright and peppy ending theme, and yet here we are.

TIDKOP is what would happen if a typical action shonen went full 'mask off', and made it's subtle fanservice and misogyny front and center. For example, one of the main antagonists in the series is a demon named Miku, a nymphomaniac who wears the bare minimum of what could be considered 'clothes', and makes lewd comments to just about everyone she meets. Her purpose in the series obvious: to bait straight guys into watching this mediocre-at-best anime instead of the dozens of other ones out there.

Miku, though, is the most despicable character in this entire series, bar none. She might even be one of the most despicable characters I've ever seen in an anime. Her role in the demons' plans is to round up (read: 'kidnap') innocent women and impregnate them, to create a steady supply of demon babies. She shows no sympathy to those women, because in her eyes, all sex is good, so they should be enjoying it. When she discovers a fellow demon is carrying twin boys, she gleefully tells her assistant that she'll be the mother of their children, and then tricks the young boys into sleeping with them. Whatever guys (or gals) were lured into watching this show because they thought Miku was hot, they have my sympathies.

Nearly every women in this series is sexualized, in one way or another, in demeaning ways. Paula, one of the main team of Idaten, has her long skirt blown up by wind dozens of times, and is groped by a demon despite being heavily wounded. Piscalat, one of the demons' leading tacticians, is subdued by having her top ripped off then gassed with aphrodisiacs. A little bit of fanservice is common in series like these, but after watching this, I want to stay as far away from women as possible.

What sucks is that beneath all the gross sexualization and horrible pacing, TIDKOP has the potential to be really great. The dynamic between Hayato and his mentor Rin was what kept me watching this series, and I wish it was more focused on throughout the 11 episodes. Its not often that you see a female mentor in an action series, and especially one who is taken just as seriously as any man. Rin's coldness hiding her inner fears and abandonment issues clashing with Hayato's hunger for strength makes them a duo that could honestly sustain a series by themselves.

The characters are also wonderfully voiced, with a star-studded cast that most Japanese dub regulars would recognize. Plus, even though the show has a fifty fifty split of male and female characters, nearly 2/3 of the voice cast is female, making it quite the interesting experience to listen to the dubbing. Its a rare treat to see women getting top billing for such a big name series like this one, and the added bonus of gender feels I got from hearing a woman voice a teen boy believably kept me from hating this series fully.

TIDKOP is a colorful, scatterbrained ride of a show. Between the psychedelic intro and pink poppy outro lies a by-the-books action series that wastes no time in breaking faces, but struggles to build suspense. It had cool fights, and neat character designs, but also made me never want to see another breast again. Its clear that the original author was trying to build an epic world or gods and monsters, and I commend him for that (wherever he is). In the end, though, making this show anything more than passable would truly be an almighty effort, one only a true god could do.

But hey, at least I know I'm still aromantic (and possibly asexual). Thanks, MAPPA!

Was there any rationale as to who got what master in FSYY? Guangchengzi and Chijingzi teaching the two princes of the Shang Dynasty makes sense, as they have a reputation for being teachers of kings. Assigning Nezha to Taiyi also makes a certain amount of sense as Taiyi's main responsibility is saving souls from perdition. Nezha's two brothers train under two immortals with connections to Buddhism because of their syncretic origins. Wen Zhong, the chief Thunder God, learns from Doumu, the Daoist adaptation of Marishiten and the goddess of starlight. But then Qingxu-Daode Tianzun trains Yang Ren and Huang Tianhua, two powerful gods, but ones that have ambiguous reputations (all 60 Taisui and their lord Yin Jiao are perceived as very fierce, while Prince Bingling, in his role as a mountain god, has myths and folk legends of being lustful). And Yuding trains Yang Jian while Daoheng trains Wei Tuo/Skanda/Idaten, and Kakusandha trains the earth-affliated deity Tuxing Sun. Some matchups seem to be meaningful, others look more random.

In Yuding's case, I think it might be because he was mentioned as a sage of Western Shu aka Sichuan, the heart of Erlang worship, and thus they were made masters and disciples based on proximity.

Outside of Taiyi's relation to Taiyi Jiuku Tianzun, there's also a bunch of Song paintings of the sage, and the most famous one by Li Boshi featured him lying atop a lotus leaf, reading a book.

The painting itself did not survive, and we only know its content bc the poet Han Ju had written a poem about it, but this might be what eventually inspired the Lotus Resurrection Thing.

Aside from Wei Tuo, Daoheng has 2 other deified disciples, Han Dulong and Xue E'hu, who became the gods in charge of the addition and subtraction of fortunes, traditionally depicted as two young acolytes.

You are right that the matchup is pretty random, and I attribute that to the fact that the immortals themselves are pretty much OCs, whose only relation to any IRL deities/sages is their names.

The Idaten Dieties Know Only Peace

By Amahara

A surreal Japanese action webcomic that is about a world where God-like entities (the Idaten) are born out of people's collective wish to survive, fighting against militaristic shaeshifting demons. Problem is, they already won against the Demon's in the past and many sacrificed themselves to seal them away, so the only Idaten around are lazy kids from the previous generation and the newer generation with no experience (hence the title). Which is bad when demons start cropping up again.

In my opinion - it has some fairly glaring problems when it comes to writing - which carried over into the anime that was produced based on the webcomic. The heroes are of the nominal, OP kind and seem to stay that way, regenerating from all damage; Demons are technically the underdog villains, and theres supposed to be irony in how they are more "human" than the Gods meant to protect humanity, but they and the empire they run is so objectively evil, and gross in some cases, that you can't really sympathize with them either. Humanity is kind of a third wheel race by comparison, due to focus, and are kinda mostly designated victims of violence/indifference.

I've only seen some of the anime, so I can't say much about the art quality of the webcomic, and both have been on hiatus for a bit currently. It also is not afraid of violence and adult subject matter, so keep that in mind about content, even if it's comparatively tame to other things ive seen.

I'm curious if you'd riff successful stuff of this nature, aside from this, ONE'S "One Punch Man" (which is very well written with majestically bad art), and Nimona (good art and world but...very inconsistent direction with characters and likability), I'm not overly familiar with webcomics that were popular enough to get substantial animated adaptations.

I have never heard of this, so of course it has gotten an adaptation. I think this might be the first ever japanese webcomic suggested to be riffed? Either way it sounds like it's plagued by issues not too unique to the medium. I think I can riff it eventually. Also jesus christ the name is horrible, I know japanese names are often trying to be as descriptive as possible but when I first saw the title I thought it said "Diabetes Deities Know One Piece"

[emmafaeru]

the idaten deities ost actully rips like its so good

[beeflibeef]

feel a bit curious about idate's name.. it derives from name "Idaten" one of the meanings being "swift footed guardian deity" or "fast runner"

Usually funamusea gives names with subtle meaning and is it some sort of a hint on his personality? It's confirmed he doesnt have a "tragic" past. Or maybe it's just a name . I don't know japanese so i could have a very surface level understanding.

Is it because he always strolls around and ventures, never having settled anywhere? (Swift footed) Is it somehow connected to his somewhat solid bond with his brothers family? (Guardian)

Watch List- Anime and Foreign Language Animation (Latest Update Feb. 17, 2025)

Non-English Animation watch list. I keep this one separate from general shows because I vary in whether i want to watch subs or dubs, not to mention the fact that some don't have a dub at all so I can't watch some of these as casually as I can a show in English.

Because of the sheer number of things I want to watch I’m separating my watch list posts into four categories. I keep them separate primarily for organization so I can decide what to watch based different variables (mood, time, language, etc)

I’m pretty much constantly adding things to all of my lists- hence why I’m amending when this was last updated to the title itself- and will update this post anytime I update the wheel I use to randomize my next choice, which usually happens after I’ve added or subtracted a significant number of options.

Should You Watch KamiKatsu?

(Full English title: KamiKatsu: Working for God in a Godless World)

(Japanese title: Kaminaki Sekai no Kamisama Katsudou)

A Brief Summary

Protagonist Yukito has been raised his entire life as part of a muscle-man obsessed cult that worships a single goddess, due to his father being the leader of said cult.  During a ritual, Yukito is stuffed inside a barrel and thrown off a cliff into the sea to survive.  When Yukito wakes up, he doesn’t seem to be in Japan any more.  Instead he’s now in a world where religion doesn’t exist, and where the population accepts any order from the government to die when given - all except for a few spunky weirdos who are cast out into remote villages.  Luckily, Yukito winds up at one of these villages and is taken in by the townsfolk.

Through plot, Yukito ends up with the power of a real god on his side - but how will he use this advantage to live out life in this new world?  That’s what KamiKatsu aims to find out.

So, should you watch the anime?

Probably not, unless you’re open to a lot of jank.

I won’t lie, KamiKatsu is a mess.  But it’s the kind of mess I like.  The kind of mess where I don’t know if it will hit the same on a second viewing, but it kept me on my toes enough to enjoy the ride the first time around.

Shock value is a big player in KamiKatsu.  You know, things like the main character getting jerked off in an effort to revive him within the first 10 minutes of the first episode.  That kind of thing - where you raise one, or possibly both eyebrows thinking “that couldn’t possibly be what just happened” - happens quite a bit.  I get the feeling the creative team for the show was like “fuck it, why not” to a lot of ideas that were thrown out there.

To make a comparison, the closest thing I can think of is a B-team version of The Idaten Deities Know Only Peace.  So if you enjoyed that show, KamiKatsu might give you a bit of the same WTF feeling.  And fan service moments.  Oh man, there is a lot of sexual… flavorings in KamiKatsu.  A little too much, honestly, but “in for a penny, in for a pound” was their motto, I guess.

Again, this kind of attitude works for me personally as I was also morbidly curious as to where they were going to go next, but this show is not for everyone.  However, I’m still not sure why all reviewers at ANN (Anime News Network) hated it with such vitriol.  Like, it’s dumb, but fun in weird, wacky, inappropriate ways.  Then again, ANN tends to frown on anything with inappropriate fan service situations, and KamiKatsu has that in spades.  To each their own - but if you rely on ANN reviews and skipped watching this anime because they hated it so much, maybe give it an episode or two to figure out if it’s your brand of fun.

I found myself snickering most episodes - and I downright lost my mind when they rolled out the rotoscope/photoshop head on a dude riding a tractor bit.  I had to pause it and immediately share that absolute stupidity with my anime club - half of which didn’t believe it was real.  

Speaking of that, the animation veers wildly back and forth between very pretty (usually when breasts are involved), typical isekai (serviceable but stiff), cute retro 16-bit style (sometimes for no apparent reason), and godawful CG (for animals/monsters).  Like the rest of the show, it’s a real mixed bag.  I’m not sure if that adds to the flavor or if I was just ready to accept whatever KamiKatsu decided to throw at me.

Plot-wise, KamiKatsu is ok.  There are some intriguing ideas about gods and how to get people to join your cult- oops, I mean religion - and there’s a twist part-way through that I won’t spoil here.  The plot isn’t really why I looked forward to watching KamiKatsu though - it was more a means to create insane moments and character interactions.  That’s what powered my enjoyment.

What flavor of characters can you hope to enjoy?

A loli goddess (Mitama) who’s obsessed with getting the protagonist to believe in her.

A pair of sisters that run the local inn (Al and Sil) - one who is infatuated with the protagonist and the other infatuated with getting drunk.

The absolute scummiest human being in the show- which is actually impressive (Roy).

Clen, who seems a little too normal…

A kuudere powerhouse that will do anything for ice cream (spoiler, so no name here).

And a former knight who has fallen into disgrace for various reasons (Bertrand).  Those reasons are giant gazongas, by the way.

Plus more!  I don’t want to give away too much because a lot of the fun in this show is experiencing what random wacky things happen each episode.

If any of that sounded appealing, I say you should give KamiKatsu a watch.  Maybe a good old 3 Episode test.  For those not intrigued, you may want to skip this one.

Where does it rate on my personal scale?  

S: I will buy it at full price (unless it’s released by Aniplex USA, because fuck their pricing).

->A: I will buy it on sale sometime down the line.

B: I had fun watching it, but don’t need to own it.

C: It’s not my cup of tea, but wasn’t awful.

D: Dropped it.

X: Finished it out of spite, but did not enjoy it.

KamiKatsu nets a low A.  It might have to be a pretty good sale for me to pick it up.  I will definitely watch a second season if it ever gets made though!

[emmafaeru]

idaten deities would've been so good without the weird anti-semitism that I'm not even sure was intentional and the weird sexism that I know was intentional.

like the basic concept is so good. gods are REAL but they all died 800 years ago to seal away a lot of scary demons but now they're coming back??? and this 800 year old girl with anger issues who carries her predecessor's choice to sacrifice themselves with her every day now has to carry the weight of the world on her shoulders as her dipshit apprentices who don't even know how to throw a punch fight for their lives??? like it had all the pieces set up to be crazy good.

..and then it made the main character a guy instead of rin. and then the opening was weird about the female characters and clothes. and then it introduced paula and made her the ditzy girl character. and then it introduced an evil scientist with a hooked nose and started talking about how demons had actually infiltrated humanity. and I mean I'm really just getting started on my whole laundry list of grievances with it.

that doesn't stop the art direction and more specifically color choices from being nifty and the soundtrack from ripping ass but like. I really wish it was an actually good show it could've been so good
