Matantei Loki Ragnarok -- Nordic Mythology As You've Never Seen Before

Yupyup, just dl-ed the first few episodes of this new anime, Matantei Loki Ragnarok, as a recommendation from a friend. And it's very twisted. Think: Nordic mythology with bishonen gods. ((O_O)) Almost as twisted as Saiyuki, though they actually got most of it right ^^;;; And it's funnier. And their mouths are smaller. ^^;;;;;

Basic storyline is, Loki, (sinfully handsome) God of Mischief, gets banished to Earth by Odin as a ten-year old boy with equally diminished powers. So, to pass the time, he works as a detective in his agency, specialising in the supernatural. He has a butler, a human who is very interested in Nordic mythology. And in every story, there's a girl, Mayura, who has a penchant for the supernatural. She loves it. So she goes around courting danger, while Loki is left picking up after her. ^^;; Other characters include Thor, God Of Thunder, who looks like a very cute school boy. His hammer is a metal pole, though. ^^;;;;;;;;; But at least they got the bit about him being stupid and strong correct. ^^; Then there's Freyr, God Of Fertility, who's this totally gorgeous guy. *sigh* Only he's not very smart when it comes to Mayura. He has a big BIG crush on her. ^^;;;;;;; Well, at least he's CUTE. *_* That bit they got right. ^^;; During his free time, he moonlights as the Phantom Thief, reason being, Phantom Thieves (him) and Master Detectives (Loki) make perfect enemies. O_o And the guy rides a MECHANICAL PIG. o_O I mean, he's supposed to ride a pig, but why in the WORLD is it a mechanical pig?!!!!!! *twitch* Watching a cute guy in a cape ride a pink mechanical pig is very very damaging to young, innocent minds. *twitch*

Of course, there's also Heimdall. But that guy's boring. ^^;; He's not cute, bent on killing Loki, and very short. ^^;;;;;;; But grown-up loki is BEAUTIFUL!!!!! And chibi-Loki is so bloody cute!!!!!! *squeals* He's adorable! And I love his costume. ^o^ Minus the fact that his motions to summon his staff are a little...retarded. ^^;; I mean, there's green light! And he makes funny swinging motions! And he poses!!! =_=||

Final verdict: If you can tolerate watching your Nordic mythology get shredded to bits, and all your gods as droolsome bishonen with less than impressive IQ (except Loki, of course ^^;), then watch it. It's incredibly funny, and very addictive. ^^;;;;;;; Though it makes no sense whatsoever. ^^; And the plus-point is the slash factor is rather high ^^V Episodes available through Bittorrent. ^^
