Sad taste you have there kid you came up to me in the first place making you look more like a kid who got slapped without me even knowing it and start crying about it to me |
| Lots of highlights this episode. Only one more to go... now that we're at the end, I don't want it to end... Ah! At least Hiyori should be saved, let's go guys! |

| this episode is completely different from the manga and yet they still managed to make it awesome I love this anime seeing yato do all the things he did to get hiyori back to normal was just heartbreaking (same with yukine) I can't wait for next episode. this anime will be missed. |
 |
| Great penultimate episode. If I have one gripe, it's that this show isn't going on a little longer. All of the major issues have been and will be resolved, but there's still so many interesting things we won't get to! Mainly Bishamon's beef with Yato. Still, I'll take that over glaring plot holes that mess with logic of the story or lack of closure for the issues of major concern. This show has been so great, steaming ahead steadily plot-wise and giving us heaping yet balanced doses of comedy, action, and character-driven drama. As everyone has noted, it will be sad not having Noragami episodes to look forward to at the end of the weekend. :( Yato's going on my list of nominations for funniest lead character of the year. |
| NOOOO! Hiyori losing her memories...damn you Nora! but i still like you... xD Can't wait for the next episode: Yato vs Rabo continues! :D |
 don't worry, i know IMG tags are turned off...i'm just lazy to change my sig... xD |
Zetchan said: dark-chaos said: Zetchan said: dark-chaos said: ah why they changed manga path? i hate this changed but all i see of manga is first 18 chapter so is this filler or in manga? It's filler/Anime original. The reason why they don't go after the manga is because they don't have enough time to finish the Bishamon arc. Noragamiis on Tumblr translated what the anime's supervisor wrote regarding this here. Whether this is good or bad I can't answer but lets hope for the best :) with that i think we will never see Bishamon arc like what happened in other anime > Claymore,pandora hearts....etc that why i hate filler ending *_* I've heard both that Noragami has good chances for a second season and that a second season is very unlikely. The way Noragamis wrote her post made it look like a hint for a second season. But Bones have apparently never done a second season for an adapted work before? I don't know if that's true but I've seen someone post that. If it's true however that could lower the chances. Actually, the thing with Bones is that when they do an adaption, most of the time they will pick up a work that's completed or almost completed (Zetsuen no Tempest, Gosick, Soul Eater Not), which in my opinion shows a ton of respect. For long, multi-cour adaption like the original FMA and Soul Eater, they provide their own ending (for obvious reasons, you just don't know when the mangaka is going to finish). But they actually went back and did a FMA Brotherhood (the most amazing decision really). The rest of their adaptions are novels, No.6 and Un-go, which theoretically could stop anywhere. Novel adaptions work slightly differently than manga. Not that I'm happy with how they handled No.6, but they had their reasons – you can only go so far with a shonen-ai source material, imagine the awkward decisions Bones would have to make if they did expand the series. I think Ouran is the only adaption that could have gotten a second season but didn't. But narratively, Ouran was left at a comfortable place, so not a whole lot of people complained. That said, Noragami getting a second season makes sense on the narrative level, because it just doesn't feel complete whichever way you look at it. Introducing Bishanmon into the story (and already spending quite a bit time on her and her shinki) means they have to wrap it up somehow and clearly they can't do that with one episode left. The logical (and sensible) thing is to comfortably place her arc in the second season, without rushing the hell out of it. SOOO contrary to popular beliefs, Bones actually doesn't screw around with source material unless it's their own – and god, they can do w.e they want with it really. It does help that I personally love their original works even when they do have the tendency to fall apart in places. But that's a discussion for another day. Anyways, long rant, but I hope that made some sense. lol |

| "Get in bed with me." Do I need to say anymore? |
   |
| that was an okay episode hopefully they left a big amount of the budget to animate the last fight =p |
| okay now I like Yukine... damn that's what you call character development! I remember I once hated Simon from TTGL for being such a pussy and wimpy MC but now he's my top 1 MC ever. |

With the exception of Hitsugi no Chaika (not expecting much from this one tbh) everything else is either great or looks great. Someone has already talked about the manga sales, but does anyone know how the anime is doing in Japan? I'm mainly interested in it because I liked the original Soul Eater. And if this one is a success who knows, Soul Eater might get the Brotherhood treatment. |

| Well that Rabo is certainly bad news for sure. Dang, Yukine was boss!! I liked him lots. |
 |
| This AO episode really awesome and they make really interesting. This is an Anime not Manga and if they added new arc in Anime then it's normal let's say it was an extra arc for only Anime watchers, I'm glad so far they didn't mess with a storyline from the manga and didn't turn out to be a bad adaptation. I think a chance for a second season is high |

| I really like the rain. Kind of gives it a monotonous and sombre atmosphere especially with what is going on. Wow, I find it rare to actually dislike a villain. |

| 5/5 At the beginning of the series, she felt a certain brevity that did not match the length of the story, I hope, however, that there is a second season! Narration nice, as usual, despite the predictable plot, leaves no room for boredom. Drawings are really wonderful, and very beautiful scenery, framed by a great OST. |

I really hope for a second season also. The Bishamon arc is really epic. It deserves to be animated. Ibisu arc is pretty good too. |
| Much better than the last episode. Also the last scene with Hiyori was great, hit my feels <3 |
| Can anyone confirm whether this show is doing well in Japan? And will it ensure another season? |
 |
| Nora is sickening. Kill her first! I still can't hate Rabo. He's too damn gorgeous, plus his swordplay is wild, loose, and fierce! I feel terrible for Yato. All these other gods are living comfortably and Yato is homeless, penniless, and plagued with all kinds of problems. It's really sad. Yes, his past is checkered, but for the most part, he's a good guy/god. Sent with Mal Updater |

| I would so buy Yato's mangas! They look so well drawn! |
| I believe that unless you know for sure that you don't like a concept, you should keep exploring it. Whether it be characteristics of people or a genre of some sort, you never know if you don't like it until you've seen quality work corresponding to that genre. Keep exploring until you've found something you enjoy, or something of quality. Then you know what's bad, what's good, and what isn't for you. ( ･ㅂ･)و ̑̑ Everyday life. |
| Why do I love this anime so mcuh ? Why is Yukine so cute ? Why is Yato so hot ? Why is Rabo such a boss ? Why did I get teary-eyed when Hiyori started crying?! Whyyyy ??! 10/10. They better make a season 2! Hannah_Ana said: Nora is sickening. Kill her first! I still can't hate Rabo. He's too damn gorgeous, plus his swordplay is wild, loose, and fierce! Also this. |

| The backstory of Yato and Rabo was really interesting, though I felt like they could have shown more... As for Hiyori, I really hope something bad doesn't happen to her in that vulnerable state. Edit: Also, Yukine's tears reminded me a lot of Ghibli tears... interesting. |
| good ep. |
| Slaine did nothing wrong. |
| Im predicting Rabo will die next episode! And what am I say "Yukine needs a smacking" for his behaviour. Nora needs the fucking smacking lol. |
 |
| Im a bit late on watching this episode but nonetheless it was great as usual, sad that there is only one episode left as i think this is the best anime this season, though that's not that hard considering how this season had a lot of bad and purely average shows but this one is great :) |
| Dat line. "Get in bed with me." Glad everyone else freaked, too XD |
 |
| Man the combination of Taku Iwasaki and top tier voice acting just gives those emotional moments an extra push forward. That fight was exciting, can't wait to see the rematch. |
 |
| yup, I hate Nora. |
| Wow, the feels when Yukine started to cry.. Did Hiyori leaves her body again and transported with Yato and co.? Next is the finale, I hope it gets a second season. |
| Honobono Log - best slice of life short -------------------------------------------- most kawaii loli overlord ---------------------------- Donquixote Doflamingo AMV - Control |
| This anime could be such a gem if they were able to air more episodes. It really makes me sad when animes end up rushed due to limited episode numbers like this one. Still loving the characters, but I wish I could get a bit more backstory on Yato, Nora, etc (UM CAN YOU SAY YUKINE???)! |
| So many touching and memorable scenes this ep. How about Yato grabbing Hiyori's hand desperately... and then asking her to get into bed with him? >///< Him spending all of his shrine savings on art materials! And Yukine tearing up trying to get Hiyori's memory back with the picture show. So proud of Yukine ;P I love the ending most of all, though. That girl is fighting herself inside, and just like in episode 3(?) she went half-phantom and transported along with the guys. Now come back to us Hiyori (mentally)! I have a feeling Yato's gonna go ape, like he used to way back when!! 5/5 |
 |
| "Get in bed with me." and that kick = Priceless xD Hiyori has really lost her memories. Nora is... Gah, don't know what to feel about her. Can't believe this is original anime content. It's nearly as good as the episodes before. |
 |
| That's Yato for you. He's not the one to give up on her like that. Yukine was great this time around too. Man, that ED.. really Tokyo Ravens is the only one that surpasses it this season. slovak125 said: Original or not, it's consulted with the mangaka :)Awesome episode despite being an original anime ending. Looking forward to the next episode and wish we would get second season because this absolutely isn't enough Noragami for me! |
  |
| So where's the second season? xD One more ep to go. |
 |
| Damn poor Hiyori :| Well the next and final episode will be full of action together with some great development or at least I hope it will as it is the last episode after all! |
 |
| "get in bed with me" XDDDDD |
| Yato's pretty funny when he explain that he and hiyori knows each other. ''Get in bed with me, you might remember'' lol. Yukine's development still amazes me. Poor hiyori losing her memory bit by bit, fuck you nora. |
| If you want everything you'll end up with nothing. |
| This episode should be called 'Reasons to hate Nora' |
 |
| Poor Hiyori! But I'm sure she'll regain her memories back, because of Yato's smell. ♥ UGH, GO AWAY, RABO! PAST IS PAST, OKAY? DAMMIT. -.- |
