The Day I Became a God (Season 1)

The Day I Became a God (2020) is the Japanese anime you can watch online on iFILM. Youta Narukami's final high-school summer is turned upside down when a girl named Hina shows up out of nowhere, calling herself the god of omniscience.

Hina announces that the world will end in thirty days. Youta shrugs it off — right up until her predictions start landing, one after another. Childlike yet seemingly all-knowing, she simply moves into his house, and the two teens settle into what might be the last summer either of them gets. The series was written by Jun Maeda of Clannad and Angel Beats! and animated by studio P.A. Works across twelve episodes.

Those opening episodes feel deceptively breezy, almost a comedy, before the story swerves hard into grief, faith and consequence. Anyone who has cried their way through Maeda's earlier work knows exactly what's coming. Stream The Day I Became a God (2020) online on iFILM.
