2020 will see the premiere of The Day I Became a God, a Yoshiyuki Asai–helmed Japanese anime television series produced by P.A. Works and Aniplex. In 2020, it ran from October through December. Jun Maeda, who also penned the screenplay, came up with the idea for the plot, while Na-Ga created the initial designs for the characters.
The Day I Became a God stars Maeda and Na-Ga, two characters from the popular visual novel brand Key. It is the third original anime series produced by Key, following Angel Beats! (2010) and Charlotte (2015).
Plot
In her senior year of high school, Yta Narukami encounters a mysterious girl named Hina Sato who claims she is a god named Odin and helps him study for his forthcoming final examinations. Despite her many accurate forecasts, Yta still doesn’t believe her when he tells him the world will end in 30 days. The plot follows Hina as she adjusts to her new life and helps Yta with his community service. He learns more about her past and how she became a god the longer he is with her.
Characters
Hina Sato
A young woman who, concealed behind a veil, predicts the end of the world in 30 days. She has a god complex because her surname is so popular, and she has seen that Yta and his friends and relatives all have names that are associated with deities. It’s okay if you call her “Odin,” but she prefers that nobody else does. However, the Narukami family convinces Yta that she is a distant relative and takes her in. Despite her insistence that gods have no nutritional requirements, she enjoys eating and playing video games. She uses her omniscience to help Yta in his efforts to confess to Kyko.
Yōta Narukami
A high schooler who happens to play basketball with Hina one day. Even though he doubts Hina’s prediction that the world will end in 30 days, he nonetheless takes good care of her. Hina grants him access to her abilities to help him pursue his aim of pursuing his childhood friend Kyko.
Kyōko Izanami
A childhood companion of Yta. After losing her mother at an early age, she became quite reserved and quiet. She was always quiet and reserved, but as she matured, she blossomed into a stunningly intelligent and attractive woman who quickly gained widespread acclaim among the male population. Her composure allows her to easily ignore Yta’s attempts. She plays the piano beautifully and appears to take Hina at her word. It’s a baseball fanatic.
Ashura Kokuhō
serves as Youta Narukami’s closest confidant. Ashura is depicted as a hothead who is frustrated by Hina Sat’s haughtiness.
Sora Narukami
Yta’s younger sister. She is a member of the film club and holds his senpai, Hikari Jingji, in high regard. At first, she doesn’t like Hina since she considers her to be quite odd. She cares a lot, yet she won’t budge on anything. She plans to create her film.
Hiroto Suzuki
A young man with silvery hair and an air of mystery. He’s a hacking prodigy who’s even younger than Yta. He uses a specialised pair of gloves and a hairclip to link to and communicate with various gadgets and systems. Right now, he’s helping the CEO’s assistant with her preparations.
Hikari Jingūji
They are Sora’s senpai and fellow film club alums from her high school. Since she owes a lot of money, she has to work at the Ramen Heavenward restaurant, which is currently in decline.
Kako Tengan
Someone Yta looks up to tremendously, this prominent lawyer has won a lot of awards. She is completely enamoured with mahjong and regularly organises tournaments. After Hina helps Yta in a mahjong tournament, the two eventually meet and become good friends.

At a live stream on Niconico on May 10, 2020, Key, P.A. Works, and Aniplex officially announced The Day I Became a God anime project.

P.A. Works also mentioned in a tweet that the project had been in the works for “a long” and that the voice acting had been pre-recorded.
The news that Ayane Sakura would be lending her voice to Hina and that Charlotte director Yoshiyuki Asai would be returning was announced in a special “prologue show” that aired on Tokyo MX on May 25, 2020. New staff and cast members, including character designer Manabu Nii and composers Manyo and Maeda, were announced in a second webcast on July 25, 2020.
