Kamigano no Asobi, episode 3: the gods discuss their food, and Loki doesn't really care. Yet he is a glutton. In Gylfagynning of the Prose Edda, Loki claims he can eat faster than anyone else. He competes against Logi, but loses. Logi represents fire and even consumes the trough that held the food. No wonder Loki loses. Maybe Loki doesn't care what he gets to eat in the series. The important thing is food. #anime #神々の戯 #kamigaminoasobi #norsemythology #loki #edda #proseedda

Still stuck on Kamigami no Asobi: Balder is very clumsy and constantly falls over. However, nothing happens to him and even the forces of nature don't want to hurt him. This is clearly a reference to the Poetic Edda. Frigg makes all things swear not to harm Balder, except for a mistletoe branch, which Loki later uses to kill Balder. I'm curious to see if this will be picked up later in the series. #anime #神々の戯 #kamigaminoasobi #norsemythology #balder #loki #mistletoe #edda #poeticedda

More thoughts on Kamigami no Asobi episode 2: Zeus says that this is about the fate of humans and gods and that the fate must now be woven. That brings to mind Ragnarok and Odin and maybe the norns? If anyone already knows more, spoilers are allowed. I'm going to allow myself the fun of not searching for more information about the series right now, but instead waiting to see what happens.

Episode 2 of Kamigami no Asobi: Loki is referred to here as the god of fire; isn't the association of Loki with fire or flames rather outdated by now? His surname Lævateinn was taken from the poem Fjölsvinnsmál from the Poetic Edda and represents a weapon that Loki created. It's interesting to see where the creators of video games/series get their inspiration from. #anime #神々の戯 #kamigaminoasobi #norsemythology #loki #lævateinn
