After a brief hiatus, Kamisama Kiss returns with its second season and the first episode titled "I've Started the 'Being a God' Thing Again." The episode begins with a quick recap of the events of season one, as we refresh ourselves with the story of Nanami, a teenage girl who becomes the god of a rundown shrine after her father abandons the position.

The season opener begins with Nanami receiving a letter from her father, inviting her to meet him at Izumo, the land of the gods. She leaves with Tomoe, her fox familiar, and Mizuki, her snake familiar, to discover what her father wants to tell her. Upon reaching Izumo, they run into Akura-Ou, a dangerous demon who has a long-standing grudge against Tomoe.

As Nanami explores this new world, she comes across various gods and learns about the vastness of their powers and responsibilities. She notices how different things are in Izumo, where gods have a much higher status than in her previous life. She sees the vast difference in how she, as a god, is treated in Izumo, and the humility she has to show to other more established gods or gods of high rank.

Through the episode, we see the growth of Nanami's character as she tries to become a better god and please her father, who is very disappointed with her. Nanami's father, a man filled with regret and guilt, reveals a shocking truth about Nanami's position as a god. He tells her that she is not the first god at the shrine, and if she wants to pass the trial of a god, she must find the former god's familiar and retrieve the god's missing items.

But as Nanami begins her search, she becomes haunted by mysterious dreams that suggest something darker at play. To make matters more complicated, Akura-Ou reappears and snatches Tomoe, leaving Nanami and Mizuki with no choice but to find him. In the midst of all of this, Nanami has no idea how she can proceed with her mission.

The animation quality of the show continues to be outstanding, with vividly drawn and colored backdrops and characters. The soundtrack is appropriately composed, with the music effortlessly getting into the viewer's mind, drawing them into the story even further.

Overall, Kamisama Kiss season 2 episode one is an excellent return to the story of the teenage girl turned into a god's life. It presents new storylines while remaining true to the original premise and characters' chemistry. The show retains its engaging narrative, humor, and heartwarming moments that tug at the viewer's heartstrings. This episode sets up the season perfectly, leaving the audience eager to see how Nanami will navigate her new life and the upcoming challenges she will face.
