Volume 1, Side 2: Leon Bibb, Tom Makem, Pat Clancy, Pete Seeger

Kamichu, the Girl-Child God
Eric had written a special guest blog entry for Kamichu, an Anime series about a girl who somehow becomes a god. Not a great god, but a good one. The text was lost in the Great Database Debacle, but here’s the video…
As Eric pointed out, this sequence is atypical for the show, which is mostly slice-of-life vignettes, sometimes featuring little spirit creatures.
