Kamichu! (かみちゅ!) is a Japanese Anime television series set in the city of Onomichi City in Hiroshima Prefecture, that follows the adventures of teenage goddess Yurie Hitotsubashi and her friends. The title is short for Kamisama de Chūgakusei ( "A Deity As a Middle-School Student"). The series was created by Besame Mucho which is the joint pen name of Tomori Ochiai, Koji Masunari and Hideyuki Kurata. Many of the temples and landmarks shown in the anime are real places in and around the city, faithfully depicted. It is set in the Spring of 1983 to Spring of 1984. 

Story:  Yurie is a petite, shy, and otherwise ordinary middle-school girl who suddenly discovers that, overnight, she has become a "kami" or a god in the Shinto sense. She has no idea what kind of god she is or what her powers are. Her friends give her the nickname Kamichu, a portmanteau of kami (god) and chūgakusei (middle school student). In her journey she meets many gods and learns the ways of the gods in order to become a great god herself. During the course of the series, Yurie grows more in being a better god, but she also grows as a person.

Below are a sample video of the series as well as a wonderful video showing the real locations in Onomichi and how they were animated to appear in the film.
