After reading the manga...I thought that I should make a review on how this anime failed to show the epicness of it's manga counter part.

Story: 7/10
While watching the anime, I couldn't help but feel disappointed with how the anime failed to deliver the intense feeling that I get while reading the manga. I couldn't feel anything while watching the anime, they added a lot of things that made it look so cliche and too girly for a shounen anime.
I didn't like how they change Bishamon and Ebiso's arc and made it overly dramatic to the point of making me cringe. I also don't like how they made Hiyori forget about Yato "twice" - Yato always fear that Hiyori will forget him one day, that's why he often stalked her, he never found out about the incident in which Hiyori forgot about him and for me, it holds a very important part of the story...the day that Hiyori will forget Yato - sadly the anime ruined that for non-manga readers.

Art: 7/10
The art is pretty good, Yato looked really handsome in the anime. However...there were times when the anime look dead or dull.. which made some episodes boring to watch.

Sound: 9/10
The opening song is also good, it's one of those opening songs that I wouldn't mind not skipping.

Characters: 8/10
Yato: At first..I thought he was just another "funny but cool" shounen male lead, but he changed a lot from how he was at the start of the series. He became so noisy, whinny, a bit of an emo and he can be annoying to watch sometimes.

Hiyori: She's not your badass female lead nor the weak and annoying female lead. She's kind of like Yamato Nadeshiko with a weird side. But for some reason..I can't help but feel like she's slowly becoming more like a side character.

Yukine: He got the biggest character development in this series. Almost half of the series was spent for his character development on how he slowly change from that annoying and ungrateful brat to Yato's blessed and loyal shiki

Overall:4 /10
It's sad how the anime ruined what was supposed to be one of the best shounen manga and made it look cliche and too girly and failed to deliver the epicness of it's manga counterpart.
