Lol Yato and his business suit.
Gotta look good.

I know Ebisu has his own personal demons to fight with but so glad to see Yato and his friends to support him. His purpose was carried well in the finale and really bought out an emotional impact with all the drama that happened up to this point of the season. Hell, even Bishamon is supportive too. Ebisu as a kid is funny.

Overall, really enjoyed this season. Loved a lot of the moments in particular the first half. I think the second half of the season had its own moments as well. 8/10. Season 3 please. "I am Yato!"

I really don't like the changes that Bones did (why is Hiyori there, when she shouldn't? OMG.) but other than that it was good.

The beginning with Shota Ebisu was really sweet. Yato using Kazuma's money was lol

Ebisu's death was feelz ;_; And Damn!! The way he blew up caught me off guard O_o

Lol'd so much at how he called Bisha Ms. Crazy chick from Yato's teaching XD

Dat Mizuchi release scene!!! She just got Mindfucked! kinda felt bad for her but happy for Yato choosing his own path. Not that it's gonna be that easy with Father and stuff.

Dat post credit scene was perfect. The confirmation for Fujisaki and all those Ayakashi following him. DAMN! Loved how Mizuchi was hanging on his back.

Dem feels with Ebisu's death. It was sad to see that he truly wanted to live.

Interesting set up for season 3 with a little more information about this father character and that post credit scene.

Bishamon is Ms. Crazy Chick LOL

Sort of felt bad for Nora when she got released but it was still really nice to see Yato moving in from what he was.

Overall this season has been a big improvement over the first one but I definitely enjoyed the Bishamon arc more than the Ebisu arc. Just found it more interesting.

Oh geez, their Father was that random asshole who kissed Hiyori? Wow....why didn't I see that coming? :D Well Ebisu died, poor Yato. :( Still think money buys something far more valuable than happiness, peace of mind. Well I figured we weren't lucky enough to see Nora stuck in hell, but seeing Yato finally kick her to the curb was pretty damn satisfying. Highlight of the season for sure, along with Hiyori's shrine. Guess she and her Father will be the primary antagonists if we get more.

This was a good show, but I can't help but feel I should like it more than I do. Bishamon was just too unbearably awful in her arc. She just played her role, but awful is awful. Think Yukine in season one turned up to 11. Ebisu's arc was much better though. I feel like this series has great arcs, and not great arcs, annoyingly enough. Filler arc and some of Yukine season one, Bishamon season two. If only I could cut out the bad and replace it with more good, but oh well. So, 7/10 then, same score as season one. I'm hopeful for a season three though. Maybe then the show could reach the greatness I think it has in it, having a season that's all good at last.

Ebisu guy died horribly and HiroC's character is with new Ebisu boy. KajiKaji's character and the main girl, who followed them, are shocked at HiroC's character feeling very guilty.

Sawashiro-san's character keeping Ebisu boy safe. HiroC's character finally talked about his past to others like KajiKaji's character. So it was originally the one gets punished is the "father" guy, not Ebisu guy. The girl came to pick him up, but he refused her and completely cut the bond against her. With KajiKaji's character leading HiroC's character to be a god loved by people and not killing people, the season ends.

Wait, that new guy was the "father"?

I dont care what ya'll think. Nora was there for him from day one. You don't just find new friends and kick her to the curb. He said she never changed, but he never tried to change her lol. I don't think yato ever cared about her, he never seemed bothered if she got out of the underworld. I was looking to see if she made it out, but i couldn't tell till this episode.

Make sure you watch the after-credits.

Overall, decent closing episode - especially with Yato severing his ties with Nora (about time!), with explanations behind why the Heavens was so intent on executing Ebisu.

I liked this better than Noragami S1, really enjoyed this.

Still haven't gotten enough on Trash Daddy, so here's hoping for Season 3. I mean seriously, putting just the tiny bits of info on him sucks 2 hard. Please more!

I love Bish's reaction to Yato teaching Ebisu the incorrect name. I'm starting to like her even more, still think she is stupid though.

But it's important to remember that a movie review is subjective;it only gives you one person's opinion.

It doesn't matter if you like LoGH,Monster etc.If you are a jobless or college/school dropout living in your mom basement, you are still an unintelligent loser. Taste in anime does not make you a better person.If elitist don't exist, casual pleb and shit taste also don't exist.

Ebisu is now a kid, and that asshole who tried to kiss Hiyori is back. I had a feeling Nora wouldn't actually be stuck in the underworld, there's no way her character could just be discarded like that. A nice conclusion, 7/10 just like season 1. There will probably be a third season somewhere down the line, so I'm looking forward to that.
People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime.

As a manga reader, I still can't accept the fact that they ditched little Amaterasu, although I understand that they probably did that because it takes time for anime production to add another character design and voice actor and all that shit. Probably to add more suspense for her identity next season. I really hope that it would finally be confirmed in the manga that she's Amaterasu. I'm rooting for her! Anyways, this episode is a perfect closure for the 2nd season, and that after credits....Oh My Kami-sama, I did not see that coming (sarcasm). I'm confident that there will be a third season.

Same opinion with Zkitsune, i really like Hiiki, but she still the slave of Father, then Yato could change her... He was with her since Yato born...
The scene when Ebisu died, wow i cried like a little girl :((:(:( No why did he die :(.
Ebisu resurrected.
But still a good ep, this Yukine always has a bad trait lol, hope he will change.
Fuck this father, knew it, but when i seen in the anime i want to kill him lol.
Awaiting for a season 3 !
8/10 for the 2nd season.

Who knows, maybe Nora will end up changing eventually. Doubt it would happen in a season 3, but hey you never know. She seems far more attached to 'Father' then Yato, however, even if she DOES care for Yato (Which she probably does, even though she can be super creepy about it)

This season was just fabulous, made most of the cast even more lovable, especially with Yukine not being all bark and no bite, his words just have more weight to it after going through quite a lot as to his first friend and the things that happened to Yato.

There were a lot of emotional moments from Yato's shrine to the whole thing regarding Ebisu and what not. The action too was great and the overall was just by far more interesting and heartfelt as the characters go through their development.

I Enjoyed this right to the end.....It was better than the first season.

There is always hope for a third season...i mean the first season ended with an anime original ending that convinced almost everyone that it wont get a second season and yet this happend.

So yeah i look forward to it...Bones is starting to change it's method and is making more seasons of there previous shows more common these days. so we will see

Damn...

this season of Noragami was pretty good and was really intense.

Now i finally understand Ebisu was actually framed by that ASSHOLE.

Yato's "father".

Finally revealed after the post credits. How despicable. I despise him.

Anyways, can't wait for a Season 3 of Noragami~

5/5 and 9/10 series.

She was also manipulative and abusive af. He should have released her way sooner. Anyways, Yato did care about her, that's why he was never able to stand up to her until now.

Glad I stayed up for this ep. It tied the entire season up nicely.

The first few seconds of the ep made me feel lost, until kid Ebisu came up and I knew :( Ebisu's passing was extremely tragic, but I'm a big fan of kid Ebisu. I mean, he offered a yen note to Kuraha, who is a lion?? Doesn't get much cuter than that. Also happy with Yato's character development after Ebisu's influence. Less a helpless little thing now, as is Yukine. Yuki Kaji is starting to sound less like Yukine and more like Eren, especially at the end. I just had to smile. :)

I feel really bad for Nora. Manipulativeness and cruelty aside, her only real mistake is that she does exactly as she's told, while Yato has too much of a heart. Shouldn't Nora be the ex-human? Something seems wrong here. I also wonder if it's really possible for a God of Calamity to switch roles to God of Fortune. Sounds kinda ridiculous atm but we'll see how it goes.

Ebisu arc is my favourite arc of the two seasons and I definitely enjoyed this season more than the first. 9/10.
