    Synopsis:

    Set against the backdrop of ancient Egypt in 3000 BCE, *Chronicles of the Gods* presents a lighthearted exploration of divine life. The series follows the everyday interactions of deities like Bastet, Anubis, and Ra, alongside their human attendants Iabi and Ahkeu. A spectral presence, Medjedo, adds an element of intrigue to their routine. The narrative balances comedic situations with subtle observations on duty, responsibility, and the complexities of maintaining order in a world where gods are not always infallible. The animation style emphasizes vibrant colors and expressive character designs, creating a visually engaging experience that offers a unique perspective on mythology and the human condition within a fantastical setting. It provides a gentle, contemplative narrative experience rather than high-stakes action.

      This is a two-minute short animation on the theme of Egyptian mythology set near the Nile River in Egypt around 3000 B.C. It features the gods Mejedo, Anubis, Ra, Bastet with their two human caretakers Ahkeu and Iabi. The human characters Ahkeu and Iabi are played out like a classic Manzai as they learn about the gods of Egypt. They trick and are tricked by the gods. There is some mythology with the gods powers explained but it is all used for humor. If your are a fan of Toshiyuki Morikawa you will appreciate the fact that he does all of the voice work. Morikawa alsoperforms the theme song for the show. This is the only series that I know of that has the same actor for all the characters. nnAccording to Morikawa, he thought the producers were kidding at first when they asked him to play all of the roles, nbut he was happy to throw himself into the performances so that viewers can forget that all of the voices are coming nfrom one person and just enjoy the show.
