Kamisama Hajimemashita: Kamisama, Shiawase ni Naru

I started this anime just a few days ago and I knew that the anime will be a cliffhanger. Before watching, I checked how many seasons this anime had and found out that there's only two seasons and OVA's only.

The Kako-hen was good though but many side stories were cut off because they didn't made a whole season instead of an OVA. Not gonna blame them though.

But what I did was to read the manga after watching the kako-hen because I loved this anime so much, it gave me different feelings that I couldn't describe into words. Reading it just a few a ... hours then I watched this OVA, the whole OVA just covered the true ending of the story which is good on its own, it covered every important points of the ending. If something is missing, its the remaining chapters of the manga.

Hence, I recommend everyone to read the manga right after watching this.

At least there was an ending.
It was hurried and messy and it skipped a lot of stuff, but well at least there is an ending. So many anime's out there that don't have that.

The OVA itself was hurried, they skipped a lot of explanation. I think if they made short OVA series it would've been a lot better.
It's also too bad they didn't even show the ending properly like in the manga.
Guess I'm glad I read the manga, otherwise it would've been a disappointing ending.

If you only saw the anime I do recommend reading at least the last chapters of the manga so you might ... feel more satisfied about their ending. If you have the time you might read it as well from the beginning to end.

I have not personally read the manga, but I have heard from people who have that there was way more to this story towards the end, including mentioning the ritual that made Tomoe human... as someone who has only watched the anime all the way through, I was very dissatisfied at this overly rushed ending. There could've been so much more said, so much more explained... this anime had the potential to have a beautiful, fulfilling ending, but this OVA just did not deliver on doing that in many aspects. Overall, this was the most disappointing ending to a great anime that I have ... ever seen. Knowing what I do now after watching this, I wish I could go back to right after I finished the Kako-hen season and just read the manga from there.



--((SPOLIERS FOR THIS OVA AHEAD))--


Don't get me wrong, I loved the fact that Tomoe and Nanami got married; in fact, that was something that I'm sure every Kamisama Hajimemashita fan was looking forward to seeing happen in the show at some point. However, the wedding scene in and of itself was sad. Where was the wedding kiss? Where was them giving their wedding vows to each other? Where was the transformation process of Tomoe turning into a human? And not to mention the fact that just everything about this episode, including the wedding itself was rushed.
