Yato = Gintoki? Used to be a badass samurai, killed tons of people. Now is a lazy bum doing odd jobs. ;D

This episode was great, the falling scene had me cracking up throughout the whole thing. This is definitely my favorite show of the season.

I love this episode to bits >.<
I was a little worried about the changes at first but most of them were scenes from omakes and special chapters and they manages to keep them relevant to the plot.
The previous two episodes were quite slow imo (I didn't dislike them though) but in this one alot of things happend which kept me entertained.

They finally introduced Kofuku and Daikoku :D
Yato being friends with the good of poverty makes sense. Yato and Kofuku isn't actual girlfriends and boyfriends, Yato is just pretending while Kofuku is playing along or are too dumb to understand what "girlfriend" means, that's at least how I interpreted it.

Pony tail Yato is <3

That moment when Yato wrapped his arm around Hiyori tho. I don't know what you guys think but I think the anime succesfully conveyed the slight fear Hiyori felt towards Yato then, knowing he's capable of killing humans. This is even clearer in the manga but god I almost felt shivers down the spine when I watched the episode.

Argh I love this! So far Bones is doing a great job with the adaption but I'm so sad it's only 12 episodes :( Give us a second season plz.

Great episode. I'm not familiar with the manga, but this anime is easily one of my favorites this season. I remember that it was mentioned in a previous episode that he was the God of War, so I was already hoping that he was BA.

Shame it's only 12 episodes when other bullshit anime series have tens of episodes.

Does anyone know if there could be more seasons, based on the length of the manga?

way to early to say anything. the anime too is going at a pretty fast pace so who knows maybe it will get a second season if the sales are good enough

Pretty great and interesting episode.

LOL that nonchalant long fall, those conversations were just too funny to watch with the guy's back story. He added on Hiyori's face for similarity XD. Only revealed to be Kofuku for her "little fun" XD. Woah, I thought Yato is a chilled out guy until his past is somewhat really dark and violent.

Kofuku and Daikoku are funny characters. Wonder what's up with Nora at the end.

This show is so good, and this latest episode was the best one yet. The exposition continues to be done smoothly, the character dynamics are still funny and wonderful to watch, and the story, despite its slow pace, is intriguing.

I love how Yukine lampshaded how impossibly long their fall was. That part was awesome.

Looking forward to the next episode.

I didn't get the feeling when watching that scene at all. Seems like Hiyori was blushing because the guy she has a crush on was so close to her. She was supposed to be scared in the manga?

This was a great episode. The best so far! I quite like Kofuku, and I am really interested in Nora especially since she was almost kissing Yato in the OP. I do wonder if he and Kofuku are really dating though...That might explain why he's so poor xD

Also it just occurred to me, the show is called NORAgami, not YATOgami which would be a more fitting name at the point. Maybe Nora is more important than what we think...

I loved this episode, but poor megane! He got swindled, lol. I can't blame him though, I'd give up everything for a girl that cute too.

Is it just me or does it feel like the romance was really sudden in this episode? I didn't sense much from the first three episodes, but now suddenly she acts jealous when she learns he has a "girlfriend" and blushes when he's close to her? Maybe I just missed some previous cues, but she went from seemingly not being able to stand him to crushing on him.

Yeah, that and how she commented that 'he smells so nice'. She didn't really convey any fear?? I actually haven't gone back to read the manga in a while so I should go do that.

I don't know, maybe it's because I was prepared for what would happen since I read the manga. The anime didn't really convey Hiyori's fear but that she perhaps should. In the manga it's different, Hiyori becomes very aware of Yato's moments and she got scared when he wrapped his arm around her (but then becomes relaxed because of his smell, lol).
You know when Yato stood behind the drinking machine when Hiyori walked back from Kofuku and Yato said something along the lines of "What did you talk about for so long?", kinda like he perhaps knew what they talked about/could be talking about.

About Hiyori thinking Yato smells good, I don't really know if this is the case but since everyone else thinks he smells sweaty I think it's because of Hiyori's condition that she thinks that way. Other ayakashi also go around saying he smells nice.

Lol at Yato's dreaming part.

Heehe...Hiyori's reaction when she heard Yato said that Kofuku wash his girlfriend.

That was one long fall. The suicide fall part was hilarious, like where Yusuke used Hiyori's face during his flashback to see her as his lover.

That whole exchange while they were all falling almost caused me to laugh myself to death! Kafuku's living quite well for a Binbougami. Shouldn't she be as dirt poor as Yato?

I like them both but i'm sorry i can't just let this slide have you even seen more than a few episodes of Gintama because i can count multiple times Gintoki has done some pretty badass stuff hell almost every major arc he has his moments only difference between them is one of them is a god.

episode it self was pretty good and funny all that suicide scene was missing was Tom Petty Free Fallin

I wonder if the ghost girl is the Regalia that Yato killed in the past?

Excellent episode, loved the turned to the darker side combined with some very good humor.

In a Japan that has a pacifistic constitution, what would a war god do? He would have to find some new worshipers somewhere.

So Nora, my guess is that she is the regalia that he killed, that is why she had the ghost headband; most likely she enjoyed killing a bit too much, and that her insanity both prompted Yato to stop being a war god and was why he had to "kill" her. I am going to be curious to see if we find out just who made the request that Yato fulfilled. Two distinct possibilities are Nobunaga or one of the Meiji leaders.

It would be awesome if Yato was formerly associated with one of the pre WWII shrines, or even Yasukuni, though I doubt this show will get that specific.

Anyway, nice episode really raised my expectations for this show.

Omg I can't even with this show. It goes from unbelievably funny to downright creepy. It also manages to pull off an episodic plot while still foreshadowing the overall main plot that will happen later on. Damn!

Is Yusuke voiced by Miyano Mamoru? It sounded like him.

Looking forward to next episode~ Those previews LOL
