History Anime / OhSuddenlyEgyptianGod

** Set's PhantomThief attire in Season 1 Episode 6 greatly resembles Kaito Kid from the ''Manga/CaseClosed'' and ''Manga/MagicKaito'' series, what with the white top hat, cape, and all.

* AdvertisedExtra: Sobek is shown in promotional materials for the show alongside the rest of the cast (including in the poster, as seen above), but he only ever appears throughout the show as a background extra in a couple of episodes, very rarely interacting with the other characters and not having any major role of his own.

* WeAllLiveInAmerica: The gods do as much normal Japanese activities, if not more, as they do Egyptian.

The anime consists of 10 short episodes, about 4 to 7 minutes in length and each divided into two halves. It began airing on December 7, 2020 in various platforms. You can watch the entire show on Website/{{Crunchyroll}} [[https://www.crunchyroll.com/oh-suddenly-egyptian-god here,]] and visit the [[https://to-to2ni-anime.jp official website here.]]

On August 1, 2021, it was announced that the anime will receive a second season; a January 2023 release schedule was announced on October 26, 2022.

* TenMinuteRetirement: Episode 8 has the IdolSinger Sa-ta announcing her retirement from the idol scene. However, pressure from her thousands of fans causes her to change her mind and go back to being an idol. [[spoiler:Apparently this is only the 2752nd time this has happened.]]

* BottleEpisode: The first half of Episode 7 has Anubis, Thoth, Horus and Bastet inside while it snows, huddling around a kotatsu and doing nothing else for the entirety of the segment.

* DayInTheLife: The latter half of Episode 7 focuses on Medjed's daily life. He wakes up, does some morning gymnastics, washes his clothes, then descends down to Earth to do his daily walk around the globe, before returning home to take a bath.
* DownOnTheFarm: Episode 9 shows the gods hard at work planting rice in the fields.

* EarlyBirdCameo: Bastet, Horus, Apep and a few others appear briefly in Episode 1, being in the radius of Medjed's destructive eye beams. Ra is also mentioned, although he doesn't appear.

* FormulaBreakingEpisode: Episode 6 takes a hard left turn from the usual slice-of-life formula of the show and instead tells a PhantomThief[=/=]MagicalGirl story, featuring Set as the thief, Horus as the detective pursuing him, and [[spoiler:Thoth]] as the magical girl archetype to save the day.

* FunnyBackgroundEvent: While Anubis, Thoth and Horus are hard at work planting rice in Episode 9, Medjed is busy ChasingAButterfly -- and floats off into the air following it as it flies away.
* FurryReminder: The entirety of Episode 2 is dedicated to reminding the audience that, yes, the cat goddess Bastet behaves like a cat (i.e. she appears in the most random of places, gets bored so easily, and at one point she sleeps on and walks all over Thoth's laptop keyboard).

* IaijutsuPractitioner: Attempted by Bastet in Episode 2 against a single falling flower petal. [[SubvertedTrope She fails to cut it]], and then throws her sword away in frustration.

* KnowNothingKnowItAll: Despite his claimed IQ, in Episode 2 Thoth says he doesn't know how to get rid of hiccups.

* OverlyLongGag: The entirety of the first half of Episode 2 has Anubis accidentally finding Bastet in various places in his home. The entirety of the second half is dedicated to showing Bastet being bored out so quickly with everything she's doing.

* TheReveal: Three episodes later, it turns out the secret Thoth was talking about in Episode 3 is that [[spoiler:he can transform into a MagicalGirl archetype]].

* SayingSoundEffectsOutLoud: Happens often in the show. Also, every time the Eye of Medjed gem is shown in Episode 6, it's accompanied by Medjed's voice actor saying the "gleam" (きら) sound effect.

* ShaggyDogStory: The first half of Episode 3. Thoth and Anubis get hungry and decide to order some pizza, and then they open the box... [[spoiler:only to find Medjed somehow already inside, stuffed after he AteItAll]].

** Set's PhantomThief attire in Episode 6 greatly resembles Kaito Kid from the ''Manga/CaseClosed'' and ''Manga/MagicKaito'' series, what with the white top hat, cape, and all.

** Played straight with Medjed's segment in the second half of Episode 7; the papyrus artwork shown during Medjed's description is a straight recreation of [[https://jgeekstudies.files.wordpress.com/2017/08/medjed-fig-3.jpg one of the two pages of the Greenfield papyrus]] that depict him.

* SnotBubble: Seen in the {{Eye Catch}}es for Episode 4 and 6, with Bastet, Thoth, Medjed and Anubis. The second time around, Medjed is shown floating up into the air with his own bubble.
** Wenet is shown with this in Episode 9, as he dozes off the entire day. At night, it pops and he wakes up.

* UnknownRival: In Episode 5, Apep shows up repeatedly to hinder Ra's journey, but every time he just gets ignored as Ra goes on his way.

* WhoWillBellTheCat: Downplayed. In Episode 7, the gods ran out of oranges, but everyone is too cozied up inside the kotatsu that no one wants to go out and get more.
