I enjoyed this show. Liked the action and an okay ending. The ending was not very clear for non LN readers though..

8/10.

Wow, I loved that ending in all ways
But some things were left annoyingly unclear to me, I guess I'll just search for answers from this thread. So what does the "technical" success in the ritual mean? Obviously things didn't go quite perfectly but not completely wrong either... And in the end, it seems Yakou indeed awakened but... is still our good old Harutora at the same time? Sort of like they are the same person with combined memories/experiences? Ugh, idk, that's how it feels anyway :o

From what I've heard from quite a few people is that although Natsume was revived she was only able to be reincarnated like Yakou, so he will see her again when she grows up and regains her memories. At least that's the best response I've heard so far.

What was that ending???? So vague...I need a season 2!!!!

So Kon and that guy are his 2 familiars! And It looks like Harutora paid the 'price' with his eye? (price for the awakening ritual I mean). Wonder if this means he has fully awaken yet and has gotten his memories and stuff? He acts quite differently (in a more calm way), so I suppose he has? :/

Wonder what's with the "technically" answer Suzu gave? Though it's good to know they're alive...though "technically"

Man, I would've loved to see some Harutora badassery with his 2 familiars but too bad it ended there! I wonder where they are going, what are they going to do next. What about the others like Touji, Kyouko, Suzuka and Touma? Is he not going to attend school, so does it mean their 'happy schooling days' are over? I'm kinda sad about that..

This series is better than what I had initially thought (after watching the first episode), I'm glad I watched this through the end (though now im dying for a second season, onegaishimasu)!

Kooooonnnnnn! I really like her new form! So she's Hishamaru, one of Yakou's Shikigami. I don't know if it was revealed earlier but Kakugyouki is also Yakou's shikigami. I don't know how that went over my head. It just hit me now.

So both Natusme and Harutora alive "kind of." What does Suzu mean by that?!

Looks like Harutora(Yakou?) became a wanderer at the end. Also got a eyepatch in the process. It looks like his friends are going to looks for him by the looks of it.

I think that was a great way to end it. I would love a second season once there is enough material to animate. I enjoyed this way more than I thought I would. None of the epiosdes felt long at least for me.

Kon was freaking awesome. Harutora and Natsume kissing at the end :)

Now I'm confused as to what Harutora is doing at the end. Wish there was a second season of this.
Heh, Harutora and Natsume kissing at the end was great and I too wonder what Harutora was doing at the end. Definitely wish they had season 2, though it seems that they don't have enough content to cover.

Well, I rushed through that too quickly, gonna have that void aftereffect. I loved the characters in this show, I just wish that there was more screen time for some of them.

Still, the series ended without answering the most important question...
WHAT WAS IN NATSUME'S CLOSET?!?
But seriously, not quite clear on what happened at the end.
Was Natsume actually revived?
Why did Harutora leave and where's he going to?
Then there's Suzu, I want some more background on her and her motives.

Overall, definitely one of the better series I've seen in recent times.

Good episode lots of twists and turns, we even got the coveted kiss but still; I'm bothered by that ending. I don't mind open endings but the fact Harutora left like so is kind of odd and you can't help but wonder what's the deal?! Has the resurrection been done properly or is it Harutora who needs to distance himself b/c of his past self?! So this lack of clarity and all these questions kind of eat away a bit my fun/enjoyment of the episode. I guess I'll have to read the manga to feel at ease. For those who have read the manga, I'll be grateful if you can advise me from which chapter should I start to read?

PS:The new Kon is an absolute babe, he should ask her how her tail works again :D

It's weird, though the world and story themselves were pretty good, the characters(with the exception of Suzuka) left me totally unenthusiastic. I think there were too many stealing focus that could've been used to develop the more prominent ones. I had a tendency to find myself zoning out and rewinding during several episodes.

If there's a second season, I'll probably watch it just for the sake of completion, but if not I'm okay with that, too. 6/10

Great show. It took me like 3, 4 episodes to get into it and to get used to this mix of animation but after that its fun ride. Fights were not too long nor too short, they didnt talk in fights and explaining shit like they usually do in shounen anime. Only thing that got me mad, probably many others, is the ending. They make 24 episodes long anime and do it really good, without much rushing, but when it comes to making an ending they fu** the shit up. They could do it better.
I hope we will see season 2, or at least a movie to see what happened next.

-Where most anime have the MC as a complete idiot, Harutora actually knew or at least had a good idea of natsume being the controller of the shiki.

- Bad ass fight between the teacher and the wraith. Love it when powerful antagonists end up on the good side. This was done in a great way as there was room for development. By that i mean we were introduced to the teacher making a deal with him. later on it developes a bit and they have a plan. Even further they invade the bureau and work together. And finally they become master and familiar. Not like in other series where the bad guy turned good would only show up for the last couple of episodes to attack to the enemy.

-Had a good laugh when ogre boy was going to fight the further developed ogre boy. "I'm going to kick your ass!!!" "hue?" *smashes him in the face*. "Hey now... im trying to keep myself in control here" Hilarious as it was unexpected and broke the anime meta for a brief moment. (Usually when the "good" character says things like this they destroy them with some unbelievable technique)

- Kon seemed rather useless until the end lol kawaii tho. I wanna touch her tail :3

- Packed with feels

- I thought the ending could have been better. Kept looking at the episode timer wondering when they were going to get to some of the core issues to be wrapped up. Natsume was brought back "technically" however this ending definitely gave more questions than answers. As with most anime desiring a 2nd season... leave it open ended... i guess... still not a bad ending when compared to others. Therefore i won't deduct points based on this.

Overall i give it a 9/10 :)

sadly, some of the part 1 sucks if it's only the latter part I'm rating this would get a higher score. better than starting awesome then going downhill from there.
Feels like the GARO of 2013. Seems like the next part in the Novel is gonna be awesome, I'm hearing good things from it.

Also I'm so glad of their consistent power levels of whatever the term for it, most shows like Naruto have inconsistent power levels where Zabuza a villain earlier when Naruto was good an S rank criminal is now super weak compared to every other named characters.
Here if you're not a Divine General or mentioned to be talented like Natsumi then you're techniques are techniques other unnamed pros also know. Not everyone has a signature new moves bullshit like in other shonens.

According to the light novel Natsume is revived through the ritual but there was a problem , she had to be fussed with her dragon , Hokuto otherwise she will die. Her current situation is just like Toji (half ogre). Onmoyo agency declared Harutora as a most wanted criminal & he also acts like one. Harutora suffers from memory conflicts from both his lifes, sometimes it's Harutora dominant & cares about Natsume & others while most of time its Yakou dominant...... It's getting interesting so I can't wait for season 2.... Hope they release it soon...

Pretty much thought i would be immensely disappointed it ended where it did, would have been cool with an OVA to fill in whats left...ah well, as interesting as it was...ending it like this killed it for me. I sincerely doubt their will be an animated continuation of this, pretty sure this was just another ending to sell you the book/manga type deals...as are most anime.

so what was up with the end card? what does it say? for some reason it was just that end card for like 5 minutes. thought their was going to be some sort of teaser or something.

now I know what my friend meant when he said the ending is a bit confusing. thought it was something that could possibly be handled with a little explanation here but its way more than that.

actually do want a second season of this, but from what ppl are saying. not gonna happen.

eh just watched this for the second time

i forgot how much i hated that ending...

Not because it was bad but because it doesn't seem like they're going to continue it.... AND I NEED MORE!!!!

Freaking manga is so far behind and i'm just not into reading novels.

Is there still not enough material to do a second season? I read there wasn't much left at the time the series finished but it's been 2 years now.

I didn't thought of this concluding with a kiss scene. Doman becoming shadows shikigami - most badass combination would have been interesting to see how they do things :D

The show itself as a whole was okay, I wouldn't recommend it though. Therefore it's probably too boring ^^

Glad they kissed, but it can't be a satisfying ending if I had to come to fuckin MAL to find answers regarding what actually happened.

7/10 because characters carried this.

Edit: Suzuka for being a "divine general" was nothing short of a weakling, even with her seal removed lol.

I hope this doesn't end like this with a cliffhanger, they aren't an official couple yet and when Harutora said "Sorry, Natsume wait a little longer" I think the only reason is because remember that call with the ogre girl? she said they're half fine I think it's a situation that happened with Touji the half ogre, she is undergoing treatment or something but it isn't anything major and if a season 2 will happen I bet they would meet again after 2-5 episodes.

This was one hell of an ending. Rip the Loli fans when Kon grew up twice to her original form. After episode 21, too much overload felt like all of the characters who weren't important in the episodes before just suddenly shined.
Some Questions :
What is up with Kyouko and her power plus did her ribbon ever get found?
How did Suzu betray Kogure and Ohtomo in the past?
Who is Natsume really? I'm thinking she's Takahiro's actual daughter since she has Tsuchimikado blood.

Guess I have to turn to the LNs for this info but I hope I do fill a lot of holes in this series up. Season 2 definitely needs to happen or else many non-reader otakus forever hate this ending.

I loved the episode, I thought it was played out very well. But, it felt incomplete as if there were a few more seasons that they were going to release. I know this series started years ago and there has yet to be a sequel. I just feel cheated and that the series is incomplete.
