History Anime / KamisamaMinaraiHimitsuNoCocotama

''Kamisama Minarai: Himitsu no Cocotama'' ("Cocotama: Secret Apprentice Gods") is an anime series produced by Creator/OLMIncorporated, based on Creator/BandaiNamcoEntertainment's line of dollhouse toys marketed to girls. It premiered on October 1, 2015, replacing ''Anime/{{Tamagotchi}}''. The series has also been streaming in Website/NicoNicoDouga, but it's [[NoExportForYou region-locked outside of Japan]].

* MerchandiseDriven: It's a Creator/BandaiNamcoEntertainment franchise, so it's obvious there are toys based on it.

* SpiritualSuccessor: Strangely, to ''Manga/MirumoDePon'' due to the series having the same premise (fairies in ''Mirumo'' and furry gods in ''Cocotama'', yet the theme and execution were different) and happen to have the same writer.

First revealed at the 2015 Tokyo Toy Fair, the anime and toy franchise is a cute and adorable take on the PalsWithJesus trope and on usual Shojo anime, with stealth elements of Shinto and Christianity mixed in. Let's say it's a cute, unusual mix.

** Luckytama and Melory are going to this path also, but it's in the more of the line of JustFriends[=/=]SenpaiKohai thought it starting to evolve to loving each other.

* SenpaiKohai: Luckytama and Melory's relationship in the first few episodes.

* UsedToBeMoreSocial: It is revealed in episode 63 that Noratama Trio used to be very handy to humans until children stopped visiting the park that the trio resides.

The series lasted 139 episodes followed by eight three-minute shorts that served to set up a SequelSeries or SpinOff (depending on who you ask) titled ''Anime/KiraKiraHappyHirakeCocotama'', which premiered in September 6, 2018 and featured a completely changed cast of characters (they got rid of ''almost'' the entire previous cast, with Luckytama and co. shoved OutOfFocus as they've so far only appeared in the ''Hirake!'' storyline in [[https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/cocotama/images/a/a8/O0640090614247016647.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20190126071256 a poster]] and their series finale).
