    I enjoyed this Anime collection. You can find other reviews that will tell you all you could want to know about the story and content. So in summation it was amusing and enjoyable.

    If you are thinking that this follows exactly the story of Loki as in the Norse myths, you would be wrong. The basic premise is there, but the characters are slightly different and the ending is completely different. For example, in the myths, Loki is the father of at least three children by a giantess, all monsters – here 2 of his children appear as “monsters” if you could call them that (post trasformation), and one as a very angry girl (not a monster, and no transformation into one).

    Reading the Norse myths extras on the DVD is helpful if you know nothing about them and want to compare them to the anime. If not, check out http://www.crystalinks.com/norsegods.html.

    There are Wordsworth poems in one of the episodes on the last disk. If you are looking for them in full, the first lines are “My heart leaps up when I behold a rainbow in the sky” and, less obviously, “Five years have past; five summers, with the length of five long winters…” (this latter for the “While with an eye made quiet by the power of harmony….”).

    Spoiler alert – There’s a happy ending. Ragnarok doesn’t happen because Loki decides to stay on Earth. Except for his 2 surviving children, all the other gods go back. It’ll be easier for you if you suspend your thinking about what will happen in future when Mayura grows up but Loki doesn’t.

    I just got this and have found it to be just as entertaining and humorous as

    Full Metal Panic Fumoffu,and Maburaho with the magical hi jinx. The series

    follows mostly with Loki and the mystery of why he was banished to the human world by Odin and why the other norse gods are trying to kill him. Along the series Loki will get into his group a young female wannabe detective by the name of Mayura Daidoji and they are also helped by the god Thor(But known to the other humans he deals with as Narugami). The series is funny with a serious storyline built in to it but nothing to hardcore like Ghost in the Shell or Death Note. The series box is good and the extra are decent but little which I mean is that you have the standard trailers and text less intro/ending songs you do get some commentaries from the Japanese director/producers/and some of the actors.

    The video is full screen with 5.1 English audio and 2.0 Japanese audio both the English and Japanese voice actors are superb for this series.

    The price is a little step so all I can say is wait until either the price goes down,you are willing to pay the price,or you find it at a store near you but an any case a great series well worth it…
