Tragedies

One of the worst superficial tragedies to happen to a person in fandom is to fall in love with a show that's ELEVEN years old, only ran for one season and doesn't seem to have a lot of fandom.

I'm talking about Mythical Detective Loki Ragnarok.

I just finished all 26 episodes and I want more.
Normally, I'd go on Tumblr...
Nothing.
A03
Uh...two pages which is basically nothing.
Read all the books involved...
That appear to be only in Japanese or only available in e-book form...

(sigh)

Honestly, if I didn't know this aired in 2003, I'd think they ripped off Marvel or was a fanfiction inspired by the MCU.

In order to stop Ragnarok, Odin has exiled BOTH Thor AND Loki!
In the forms of a teenager and pre-teen!
However, Loki is mentioned fairly often for how cute he is and his adult form leaves young women swooning and fainting in his wake...hmm, like a real-life Tumblr...
Thor is also handsome and eats a LOT; bottomless pit. Some of the humor is from this while most of it is from Loki having to deal with humans or Thor or other exasperating things. Some of the episodes are absolutely hilarious.

To pass the time before he can go back and/or figure out how he can get back, Loki solves supernatural mysteries along with a normal teenage girl and his sons in disguise.
Yes, this Loki series addresses Loki's relationship with his main three children. Hel is especially important and yes, you get the gamut of emotions, including crying.

Then, in one of the last episodes, there were two characters on a broken bridge with one falling and I laughed when the character decided to fall rather than hold on.

Here is the Thor trailer using MDLR footage:


Here is a straight up trailer of the series:


I hope someone else has seen it/will see it so I can discuss it with someone.

EDITED:

Where can you watch???
Hulu has the whole thing for free, just with some annoying commercials now and then:

If you prefer not using Hulu, then TV.COM has some other places:

If you'll pardon the capslock for a moment...

WHY HAVE I NEVER HEARD OF THIS?! THIS LOOKS FANTASTIC! AND RIDICULOUS! (And apparently there's also a manga?)

By which I mean: if I can find a working torrent, OF COURSE I'LL WATCH IT and then talk about it with you! It's only 26 episodes, so I can easily watch it in a weekend or something.

...I'm outside the US, so I can't access the site. :( But the series does appear to be up on a number of other streaming sites, so I'll just watch it there (since all the torrents appear to be dead. Booo).

This site has all of it subbed, so I'll definitely be able to watch it! Actually, I already watched the first episode, and I like it so far. It reminds me a bit of Black Butler, which I'm ok with!

Ooh, I've liked a lot of the plushies from Black Butler, but I've tried it myself...but you say it's similar in tone?

I haven't seen all of Black Butler, but they do share some similar things: they both deal with supernatural mysteries, and both of them have young boys being served by very competent butlers (Ciel is also a lot like Loki in that he's much more mature than he looks, although as far as I'm aware he is a normal human child).

I have heard of that show, but I haven;t seen it yet - you just gave me incentive to watch it :D

I've seen this show and I love it! I'm so happy other people are getting into it!
