I think Kado had an interesting concept for a more serious anime, although the ending was very forced.

Basically, everyone has the chance to ascend to godhood and they pull the cliché that this isn't what folks should do because they are supposed to be humans living mundane lives.

Kado's flaws are more glaring when you compare it to fantasy novels where people are gods but the gods have power levels.

These novels are pretty upfront about the "dude please, of course everyone would want to be a god".

In fact, if you just look at Future Diary, the story is about people killing each other over that.

The power levels drive the plot. It creates an excuse for the gods to fight with each other, and to pursue becoming more powerful gods.
