Well, I'm happy Yato is back to his usual cherry self again.

Looks like Hiyori is being followed around quite a bit. I have to say her yukata looks pretty :3
That festival does looks sort of fun imo. The action was okay I guess, pretty typical though. Still, I thought Yato and Yukine's teamwork to be near flawless. Nora's presence with Hiyori isn't very fun to watch imo since the former still wants Yato to come to him.

Hiyori looked pretty good in that yukata.
Damn, Nora had to mess that new years night up.
Hiyori now has forgotten them. Kyyaaaa ~ Will she remember them and restore her past memories? I'm getting even more worried.
Hiyori teaching Yukine and Yato 'doodling' onto his notebook XD

That.. can't... be... Hiyori, you can't forget Yato and Yukine.
I'm waiting for Rabo vs Yato.

To be more precise, it is called furisode (Long sleeved kimono worn by unmarried women in formal events.)

I hope you are wrong about that. There is so much I want to know.

Who was the first god Nora worked with and why did she want to leave that god?

What made Yato kill a regalia?

How was Nora able to bring back Rabo?

Why did the old man lie about the fix for Hiyori?

What is the extent of Yukine's power and how many of Bishamon's regalia are going to be injured or die when we finally get to see that power in action? I wouldn't mind slicing a few inches off Bishamon just for the chance to say we did. Really hate her.

I think part of the problem is that Regalias start out as humans. Humans have choice, Nora is able to do what she does because she has chosen to be evil and pay the price for that evil. What we haven't seen is what price she paid.

Those shinkis have a very shitty fate. Longing to be a human once more yet unable to do so. Being subjected to a (possibly) eternity of servitude while basically having to act like a Buddha so as not to hurt their master. One slip of negative emotion and they're either banished or slayed. It just doesn't make sense that a slight mistake will contaminate the Gods while the Gods themselves are just as prone to sin as any humans. How can they expect their servants to act all goody-goody two shoes? In the end of the day they're just "tools" for the Gods. Look at how Yato talked about "reforging" Yukine.. so much for treating him like a "father" as Hiyori said.

I really don't blame them if some shinki like Yukine and Nora becomes wild/evil and choose to use their 2nd "life" as much suffering as they can to others. They'd be better off staying dead if you ask me.

HAHAHAHA the part when Yato was trying to get tips from Tenjin. All their expressions were hilarious

And oh well, my guess is that Hiyori is pretending that she has forgotten Yato and Yukine in order not to hurt them/ be a burden to them.

Yato being goofy again and surprisingly a great artist :O

Mmm, I wonder what happened at the end. Did she really forgot about them or was she faking it because of what Nora said? Hard to tell.

Yato and Yukine seem to stronger and closer than ever. I don't think we'll ever hear about Yukine going crazy again, which I'm glad. He was annoying as is old self.

Me too!!! I also hope for another season.

If there is no another season then, it is one of my favorite anime that never get another season like Fruit Basket (13 years already!) and Durarara.

Alright, I'm here to talk about Noragami's sales.

Anime is probably going to average 3k. While the sales do look bad, let's not forget something important. The main point of an anime is to boost it's manga's sales. And I'm pleased to tell you that Norgami's manga sales have more than doubled thanks to the anime. The manga went from selling 60k to 150k.

Does this mean we'll have a second season? I can't answer that. But I CAN tell you that the anime is not a loss to the creators. Chihayafuru had horrible anime sales but it got a second season because of good manga sales thanks to the anime. Let's hope the same happens for Noragami.


so you're saying we have lil hopes here but stuffs like Noragami should get the deal because it's a rare gem plus, there are many awesome characters here

Great episode :) Looks like Nora did something to Hiyori to make her forget about Yato and Yukine D: So from what I've seen in the previous posts it looks like Noragami is going for an anime original ending huh, guess it couldn't be helped since the manga only has 21 chapters out (at least english translated) :( Just hoping they do a good job.

5/5

Episode that gives a lot in terms of comedy and seriousness.
Plot an arc that closes and opens another, perhaps even will last, given the missing episodes.
Accessible narrative, drawings still ugly, but OST, scenes and animations are of a good standard.
I hope that the anime close to great! * _ *

enough action, a bit of romance, original scenario , good design . give it a pass.

if they manage to show the deepness of the character of the manga then 8/10 assured.

Surely this will get a second season, it is rather popular..

Finally, Rabo and Nora/Reiki's plan is starting. I wonder if Hiyori's cutting ties (well, Nora erasing Hiyori's existence) with Yato will produce some good this time for Yato.

im really worried how this will end, it really doesnt feel like its gonna wrap everything up in just 2 measly episodes

its way too far fetched of a hope but this was 1 of the 5 anime made for the bones 20th anniversary along with space dandy for this season and captain earth, hitsugi no chaika, and soul eater not for spring season. Space dandy was just announced to be split cour possibly airing in summer, well what if all the 5 shows this year are split cour and noragami will have an entire anime only(bones knows there shit with anime only case and point this series) airing alongside dandy when it comes back while the other 3 shows get their other half during the fall

like i know merely humoring the idea will only lead to disappointment but i cant seem to get past how studio bones outright skipped 2013 save for zetsuen which wasnt even that high of a budget of a show to animate all these shows for their 20th anniversary yet place all 5 shows in the first half with absolutely nothing else for the 2nd half except the recently announced 2nd cour of dandy?

Yukine definitely got better this episode. Awesome. It's good to see the three of them back to their silly shenanigans again. And Yato is finally remembering to fulfill Hiyori's first request.

I guess Nora just did what Tenjin told Yato to try; cutting his connection to Hiyori probably would have resulted in her memory loss anyway.
