Synopsis:

Mikuriya Jin makes a woodcarving from the remains of a guardian tree, but he gets much more than he bargained for when girl materializes from the statue! Her name is Nagi, the troublesome and at times violent deity of the land; and with nowhere to go, she announces that she will stay with Jin. Now, with Jin’s help and a magical girl wand purchased at the local convenience store, Nagi aims to exorcise the impurities that are infecting the land. Though when the sacred tree is finally uprooted, it is only a matter of time before her powers will diminish; thus, a new object of worship is required, and what better object than Nagi herself! However, obtaining your goal of becoming a popular idol is not so straightforward, especially when you have to compete with your sister, who is unwilling to share her fan base and plans to sabotage you at every step!

Both deal with "Gods" that come down to earth and live in the same house with unsuspecting male protagonists .... both stories evolving into harem situations!

DempseyROLL

the plot line for these 2 anime are pretty similar: a goddess suddenly appears before a young man, completely turning his life upside down.  The young protagonist must learn to live, and deal with opposite sex which results in numerous awkward albeit comedic situations.

Both shows are about annoying gods who are tolerated by the strange people around them.

Neither anime has much in terms of action, and really, they both feel like parodies.

Japanese myticism and human gods are what both of these are about. That and those gods getting really popular

While Kannagi is less fantastic that Kamichu, they still both have that atmosphere that helps make them so great.

Spice and Wolf

Spice and Wolf main image

Since long ago, the wolf goddess Horo has honored a contract to bless the rural village of Pasroe with fertile harvests; and in return she has been celebrated and worshipped by the villagers. But as mankind advances, the people have begun to take command of nature for themselves and have made their own god to worship. Horo finds that she is paid little more than lip service, if not outright mocked; and considering the contract annulled, she takes human form and enlists the aid of a passing merchant, Lawrence, to return to her home in the snowy forests to the north. As they journey together, Lawrence finds that he has plenty to learn from this capricious god, and she from him as well.

Both Kannagi and Wolf and Spice center around human incarnations of holy dieties and their relationships with the male leads. The romance is light but warm and touching with comedic scenes to lighten the mood.
