2017.08.18 KamiGami no Asobi Review!

I have to admit I was super, super pumped when they announced this but when the casting came out and saw they were only doing like HALF the characters, my expectations just went to the bottom of the bottom.

Official Site here Official Twitter here Press Coverage 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6

CAST and CHARACTERS

Yajima Yakumo as Apollon Shiokawa Wataru as Hades Motokawa Shota as Thoth Tanno Enichi as Dionysus Sekine Yuuna as Kusanagi Yui Kim Sung Ra as Zeus Ensemble: Yamashita Masaki, Sekuguchi Yuya, Kakihara Koki, Tada Satoshi, Sawaken Taro and Hamada Takuto

STORY

This stage doesn’t follow the anime at all, I assume it’s closer to the game’s story. The main triangle is Apollon vs Hades while Zeus and Thoth are watching over Apollon and hoping something bad doesn’t happen. The plotline of Apollon and his long-lost love is pretty important to the story. Dionysus is basically just there to help lower tensions or be the comic relied. It’s very heavily Yui and Apollon scenes -- but that could be because I watched the Apollon route stage and not the Hades route stage -- there were too, unfortunately I couldn’t see Hades’.

NON-SPOILER REVIEW

Overall: I went in with pretty low expectations and came out entertained. I enjoyed this. It had some really good parts, and then some not so good parts. I was super impressed and surprised at Apollon’s actor Yajima, and I thought Motokawa was THE perfect Thoth. I also really enjoyed Shiokawa’s Hades. There were some higawaris and some comical moments which got everyone laughing. Melissa was definitely funny to watch. It’s definitely not the most amazing play I’ve seen but it was decent enough. If they ever do a second stage, I’m excited to see how they step it up or which characters get added and such. Rating: 6/10

SPOILER REVIEW

So I went into this with literally no expectations; just that I had a good seat and that the seats are comfy – that theatre is super comfy! I ended up being smack in the middle of 5th row! I thought my view was pretty spot on. With the projection mapping and sometimes they act from high up in the tower like parts, I had a good view of everything and didn’t have to crane my neck up to see them.

I really, really like the opening and what they did with the projection mapping in that scene. It had all this cool music and special effects. It was a good, solid introduction/opening.

I honestly walked out of the theatre thinking “that could've been a lot worse.... it was actually pretty decent” and I was surprised I ended up enjoying it -- that’s not a good thing is it! But what with Kamigami being such a popular game and anime and then when they announced the stage everyone got excited but then, they got actors that literally no one had heard of (I only knew one of the vaguely) and I started seeing lots of people trying to sell their tickets on twitter; it was all a bit disheartening. But then I got there, almost a full room, it was a lot of fun and I enjoyed it a LOT more than I expecting. The row behind me was interesting; there were a lot of guys which made me think two things ‘kankeishas’ OR their girlfriends had dragged them all to it >.<

I enjoyed quite a few scenes in this, although at first it went a long time without any comedy in it that I wasn’t sure if it wanted to be a serious play, but very soon we got some comedy scenes and so higawaris (daily changing scenes). Unfortunately, a lot of the comedy scenes, other people didn’t find funny so I had to stay quite and laugh inside most of the time; which is a shame because it was difficult for me to hold it in. I giggled a lot, as did the girl next to me, throughout the play; so it definitely had it’s charm.

One of the higawaris was; they (Apollon, Hades, Dionysus and some of the ensemble playing students) had a sports competition where they picked a card off the floor, and whatever was written on it, they had to go and find that item. So Apollon’s team had ‘sensu’, whereas Hades/Dionysus’ team had ‘iPad/tablet’, and they had to run into the audience to find and take one! After they got the items, they had to appeal and give reasons about what’s good about the items. The lucky girl who gave them her iPad and password; they took a pic of Apollon on it for her! Apollon won the competition though - I call bullshit and it was completely bias voting towards Apollon! xD

We also got the scene where Zeus is a dick and decided to change the seasons before they could go to the beach and obviously everyone is very upset and Apollon tries his best to cheer everyone up, so he jumps into the sea (which ends up being off stage and in the audience area) and you see him clinging to himself like ‘hey guys! It’s fun! You should join us!’ and everyone else is like ‘you’re shivering!’ it was adorable!

Shortly after that scene, one comedy scene that stuck with me, Yui and Apollon decide to get fireworks to cheer everyone up, before they go, they tell Hades and Dionysus to wait for them, BUT when they come back, they made Hades and Dionysus wait so long that they were practically stood frozen cold in the snow xD And then to warm them up, they gave them both a heat pack but Hades’ wouldn’t work so Dionysus swapped with him. It was adorable because OF COURSE Hades gets the bad luck and it wouldn’t work for him >.<

Anyway, now for the cast/character break down!

Yajima Yakumo as Apollon: Yajima impressed me a lot in this! As we know, I wasn’t expecting much but he did a damn good job! I really felt like he was Apollon; he did it very well! Also I really like how much DARKER Yajima made Apollon in this. There’s moments where Apollon has like a flash of his lost love and he’s cling to Yui and be like ‘you will never leave me’ in a very possessive manner and will grab he arm and be like ‘why did you leave me! You’re not going anywhere!’. There was this split personality thing going on with Apollon and I loved it. Yajima is NOTHING but bone and muscle though. He is way too thin!! BUT not that I’m complaining all that much because he was half naked on stage towards the end there.... it was a nice sight....

Shiokawa Wataru as Hades: I was in love with Hades, and I really wish I could've seen Hades' ending! I really wanna see sexy Hades!!! Let me show you:

Not only was the costume beautiful, but, just like the anime, I loved this Hades too! I hope both endings are put on the DVD so I can see it! Shiokawa was a very soft and timid Hades; it was totally adorable!

Motokawa Shota as Thoth: Motokawa was the perfect Thoth. They casted this character perfectly! I think he did an amazing performance and so accurately too! Thoth's actor did not disappoint. I feel like he was the most accurately cast. He was completely and totally Thoth. Perfect!

Tanno Enichi as Dionysus: I didn’t give him as much attention as I did other people but I do remember that I thought he did a decent job. Dionysus has never been a favourite of mine within this series but in this one Dionysus was sweet. Which is the complete opposite of what Dionysus should be right? We should be getting this loud, drunk guy who’s obsessed with wine; I think that would’ve helped add more comedy to the stage if they’d kept those parts of his character. All in all, his character had only like 20 minutes on stage, and most of that was just being support for Hades or just being there. He didn’t really leave much of an impression and just did...alright.

Sekine Yuuna as Kusanagi Yui: Sekine has got to be new; she was not good and the weakest of them all. It all felt so fake and forced and so... ridiculous from her. For example, her acting when she got struck by lightning was not good and the timing was off -- it looked very, very silly. It just wasn’t good.

Kim Sung Ra as Zeus: I really, really liked his Zeus. He played him just right; the right amount of dickness. He was pitiless. He wasn’t in it as much as I hoped he would be, but when he was on stage, he had this strong, powerful voice and his posture was great too. He was a good Zeus ^_^

Ensemble: Yamashita Masaki, Sekuguchi Yuya, Kakihara Koki, Tada Satoshi, Sawaken Taro and Hamada Takuto

The Ensemble were absolute gold though! They made this play so much more enjoyable, and they had a lot to do in this also. I especially loved the guy playing Melissa; he had NO shame! He basically worn a black outfit, to cover himself up and then used a teddy bear of Melissa and had little sticks on his legs and arms so he could move him like a puppet. He was really good, one example where the guy himself had no shame was, at one point Melissa couldn’t pick up the flowers with his puppet hands, so the guy went ‘gomennasai / I’m sorry’ and used his own hand to grab it and ran off stage. Melissa / the guy covered up was rather funny!

This play ended up being very enjoyable and had me giggling at a lot of parts, but I can’t deny that there were some dodgy moments, such as Sekine’s acting, there were too many quick switches between scenes, the first part goes a long time without any comedy so it was difficult to grasp what it wanted to be, and the biggest problem (in my opinion) was that the cast itself wasn’t very large; I really wanted other characters such as Loki and Anubis, BUT hopefully they’ll come next time if they decide to do a second stage. I am really impressed with Apollon and Thoth, and the ensemble were gold, and I fell for Hades all over again. So yes, I was entertained and look forward to a second installment and to seeing how they improve the next time around too.
