Wow, who knew Yato was a artist, they are NOT DOODLES YUKINE >=l . Not a bad episode, we got see more of the mysterious man Rabo. I hope we get a final fight between them, that would be epic. 7/10. 2 more episode left!!!!!!!

Who does not? She's sexy D:

Well nice to see this series taking a more humorous sense, except the dark content is just around the corner. Nora has always given bad vibes, and she with this Rabo guy give just horrible chills down.

Things are gonna go dark pretty quick. Oh well let's what happens.

PS: Loved every second of Hiyori beating Yato with that wrestling move.

People stop complaining. They just need to end this season somehow but if they'll stay true to the manga now we'll get some middle-arc ending which is much worser than some anime-original arc. So just calm down and enjoy. If the sales satisfy the producers we'll get S2 sometime later.




But they have only 3 eps. Which is not enough for Bishamon arc. Really, it's just one small arc. They could make it so it won't affect any further story. And your complaints about Hiyori really look like some fanboy nagging. Just because they made a character look just a little bit worser in couple of scenes you are shouting that the show is ruined. Just really. If this show i9s a bad adaptation than just stop watching anime at all cause ideal adaptations are impossible.

I'm honestly glad they are going the AO route right now. The series isn't selling too well from what I've heard despite its popularity, so a second season most likely won't happen.

Actually the manga got a nice boost in sales. Also, this anime is one of the best this season so hopefully DVD/BD sales will be good too.

Even this anime have anime original ending , still hoping for the season 2

Rabou seems interesting enough, I hope they don't mess with a storyline from the original manga so there's a chance for second season.
Zetchan said:

Rabo also said Yato was the former God of Calamity in a previous episode, right? Now Rabo is the current. Does that mean a god can change his original purpose of existence into another and be replaced by someone else like that?
So Yato went from the Calamity God to the Delivery God?

Oh god I hate waiting for another week to see how things will go from here on. I'm praying for another season once the manga has enough material but we don't know for sure if that'll ever happen... :(

I wonder where they're going with this plot twist of Hiyori suddenly forgetting all about Yato and Yukine and how they're going to ger her memories back in just 2 episodes. I also hope they'll (at least partly) explain the relationship between Yato and Rabo.

the episode was quieter compared to previous
but it had a great soundtrack and presentation of the final bow
a struggle between Yato and god Rabou approaches
do not think anything serious has happened with Hiyori, but is now expected next week ..
________

o episodio foi mais calmo em relação aos anteriores
mas teve uma otima trilha sonora e apresentação do arco final
uma luta entre Yato e o deus Rabou se aproxima
nao acho que tenha acontecido nada de grave com Hiyori, mas agora é esperar semana que vem ..

If I had not read the manga, I would have thought this whole Lord Rabo arc was actually part of the story. Nice transition from the parts that were actually included to anime original.

I wish this was 2-cour. There's a ton of source material left that's ready to be animated T__T

Nora is not an ally. Not at all.

I wonder if Nora has cut Hiyori ties with Yato. She was Yato's shinki and Yato's specialty is cutting ties, if Yato have use her a lot then she would know how to do it by now.

This episode is so good.
I really wonder how they are going to deal with Rabo for the next three episodes though, since they are probably not going to bring him over to the next season. Or are they?

Yukine ah~ Your immense character development makes me fall in love with you even more each time.

Yato has made me a Yatoite. All hail Yato~~

I trust Bones with this AO ending, considering that Rabo was designed by the author himself. I'm pretty sure they would okay the plotline with him before animating it.

Yato and Hiyori being ambushed on separate locations was tense

Hiyori losing Yato's memory might be caused by Nora D:

I don't think Bones had a choice. they only could slot the show for 12 episodes and the next story arc is way too involved for them to jam it into 3 episodes.


one can only hope that sales numbers are enough to justify a second season. However, a few people on these forums have said the pre=sales are lackluster at best, which scares me.

What was Rabo's reaction supposed to be? Those eyes looked like he was either mocking Yato for being weak or excited that he was strong... Hopefully the latter? At least I don't think Yato's weak.

Really looking forward to the fight between Yato and Rabo though xD


Simply means that the past Yato was far stronger than he is now, that may explain Rabo's teasing expression.

Question: Was the whole ep. a filler? Or only parts of it since Rabo is an AO as well?

Alright, I'm here to talk about Noragami's sales.

Anime is probably going to average 3k. While the sales do look bad, let's not forget something important. The main point of an anime is to boost it's manga's sales. And I'm pleased to tell you that Norgami's manga sales have more than doubled thanks to the anime. The manga went from selling 60k to 150k.

Does this mean we'll have a second season? I can't answer that. But I CAN tell you that the anime is not a loss to the creators. Chihayafuru had horrible anime sales but it got a second season because of good manga sales thanks to the anime. Let's hope the same happens for Noragami.

I'd say that they have enough material for a second season. The second arc of the manga has already finished while the adaption of the first arc have only gone halfway. So if material is what they need they already have it :)
Let's hope that the anime will be selling well ^^
I'm curious of what they're going to do with the other half of the arc tho. Cause if they don't wrap up the Bishamon arc within the next two episodes (and we already have the Rabo arc going on now), could that mean that they're considering a second season? Or am I being too hopeful? :o

Well, but in this case it makes sense - it's what would happen normally anyway. People usually forget about (minor) gods and shinki.

I really hope there'll be another season. :/
