And that's the end..

We get Hoozuki making a big commotion. Overall, a refreshing series I guess. Some bits of the comedy interested me while others didn't. Hoozuki is awesome still.

A fun last ep ^^ Really gonna miss this series. Loved it a lot >.< And Hoozukin is just toooo BA!

Too bad it's so underrated :(

1st part with the festival was fun

Lol'd at Shiro calling the dog papa XD and the Tanuki hating rabbit was lolol as usual XD Dat red sauce. Creepy as hell O_O XD

Loved the dance and song. A DJ in a bon festival XD and a living drum that was crying from being hit XD...Poor cat reporter being kissed from the old woman XD

2nd half was pretty fun too with the drinks and fish face XD Hoozuki really is awesome. Dat doughnut XD And the way he just swatted Enma's rage like a fly was hilarious XDXDXD Just gotta love this dude ^^

8/10 for me. Really enjoyable and hope for a 2nd season. Manga sales skyrocketed so hopefully there is hope ^^

Haha what a fun episode! :) The first part was already great, but the second part cracked me up. Will never get sick of seeing Hoozuki trolling Enma, and how Enma just puts up with all of Hoozuki's crap ^^ I will really miss this humorous yet relaxing (ish) series.

Was the first ep's ED part of this goldfish story too? Before they escaped? I don't really remember it.

Oh my god, the ED! I couldn't breathe. >< I was hoping they'd do something like that, hahaha.

I will miss this show so much! But considering its popularity in Japan I have no doubt that it will get a second season, I just hope it's sooner rather than later. ;u;

I loved this episode.

Well, I loved the whole series. It was the best of the season in my point of view. I wonder if there's chance for a second season...

Yeah, I will miss Hoozuki.

Thank you subbers. I don't know how they caught everything speed-up Enma said (guessing they slowed it down) but they did a great job.

I couldn't tell when Hoozuki yelled at the Goldfish Flower Rock did it react to his yelling or did he shake it himself?
Nevertheless it was a funny scene.

Except for the cow ice cream all the treats sound wonderful. :P What a beautiful and terrifying festival! I always like bon festival songs, I'll hopefully get to hear this one for whenever the soundtrack rolls out. And as for poor Enma...well, that's all I have to say. Poor Enma. xD;

The ending credits make so much sense now when Hoozuki said he made juice out of those two escaping goldfish plants!

The first half was so nice. ^^ Loved it.

Really enjoyed this series and watched it as soon as I could every week. I'm really going to miss it, I definitely wouldn't mind a season 2.

Great series...i loled at the first half when Hoozuki hits the apple Hakutaku holds...

And that King Enma's goldfish face...he didn't realize that Hoozuki is toying him...

I hope it would have a second season...let's pray for it wwwwwwww

This was a fairly funny series, although a bit of the humour didn't really take to well. It's best to watch this only if you have a fairly decent understanding of Japanese folklore and mythology.

Hoozuki caught the ending goldfish, lol.

Perfect anime adaptation, it's better than the manga in everything (except maybe art style preference) and gives it life 9/10.

gdi their first half should have been put in the second. would have ended this series better.

That was based on the Flower Rock. It was popular toy in 1988 in Japan.
Oh, it was 26 years ago.
It has a sound sensor and reacts automatically by sound.

Nice final episode though I agree with the post above me that it would've been better if they put the Bon festival part at the end :)

I'll really miss this serie, it's a shame not more people are giving it a shot because it surely is a hideen gem. I absolutely loved the ost and the characters, especially Hoozuki and Hakutaku are very interesting, likeable and entertaining. I can only wish for a 2nd season but I'm glad I stumbled upon this anime at all, solid 8/10

Thank you so much! I'm so grateful that there's MAL where people can ask questions and people who know things like this can answer back. :)

This show is probably the first one I've ever watched that reliably made me belly laugh. Something about it just spoke to my sense of humor. I'm really gonna miss it.

The ending with the missing goldfish made me laugh so hard. I don't even know why I found it so funny.

<3 Hozuki, hoping for another season!

My god... those two goldfish from the ending theme got turned into juice! They even played a remix of the song when they were talking about it. I instantly knew... but that makes me kind of sad. :(

The ending video was fucked up... lol. Just nothing but a lone handcar sitting there motionless... with fish blood everywhere.

Also the end of the festival with the music and dancing was really nice. I need to find that song.

LOL'd when King Enma turned into goldfish
LOL'd when Hoozuki said that he tasted the donuts to see if they are poisoned, and said that they were quite delicious.
LOL'd when Hoozuki swatted down Great King Enma's lightning/punishment.

I really want a sequel, PLEASE MAKE IT HAPPEN, JAPAN! Best of 2014 Winter, and one of the best comedy imo. BASED Wit Studio.
