Yato was wishing for Kugaha death. I was too :/
It was badass when he cut his hand, right after he was being so smug. HIs speech was pretty badass too. Bishamon speech was touching. I still would have prefered if she had killed him. It would have been almost mercy at this point.

For people, who didn't make it(and it is right decision, actually), i recommend to watch the first OVA of Noragami.(i don't know why they animate this OVA before Bishamon arc, but when i watched OVA, i was so dumbfounded.)

Yeah, watch OVA 2 first as closure for the Bishamon arc. And then watch OVA 1. The actual right order would be:

Episodes 1-6 --> OVA 2 --> OVA 1 --> Episode 7 (next week)

Well, it was ok. I really get the idea that only humans make mistakes, and gods are always right, it makes sense and suits the way of thinking in anime.

I didn't like how it turned out with Kazuma though. In short:

(from Bishamon's perspective)
1. Kill Kazuma, the last regalia of 'Ma' clan
2. Look astonished and do nothing
3. Listen to a prick and exile him after
4. Walk away as if nothing has happened
5. Kazuma is completely healed just because...
I mean, really?

Oh, right, don't forget the moment, when Bishamon was still tainted and called out that old hag regalia, but for some reason didn't spread the blight to her. In general it's like you make a pretty complicated plot, but come out with an idiotic ending.

But the anime is still good, and its OP is as great as always

I loved this episode.
But I little bit got the feeling that "this wasn't that hard after all". They talked it through -finally- And kuguha was a little bitch. At first though Bishamon releasing his name didn't feel like that much of a thing but thinking the consequences... Good luck Kugaha :)

Btw part of the azan is used as soundtrack •.• (Some electro version lol)
Someone in the site i watched it noted it (yeah majority of people here are muslim)

Premise looks interesting. Ebisu Arc? (That businessman looking guy with two shinkis!)

EDIT: How did Kazuma healed? Wasn't his injury fatal? (I can't be forgeting episodes that fast no) And I totally forgot that we didn't get and explanation about why Kazuma's restriction (?) didn't work on Kugaha...

The same thing I was about to ask, overall still fine/great.
Bisha was cool though and beautiful.

Excellent ending to a very strong starting arc. I'm really glad Kazuma didn't die, and the rest of the Regalias. Based off on the second OVA, it seems Yato and Bishamon at least don't try to immediately kill eachother. That's definitely improvement. (Lmao at Kazuma's survey answer)

I really hope it keeps up the pace and stays the 9/10 it is currently.

5/5

On the Kazuma thing, I believe they dragged it and made it more dramatic in the anime. When I read it in the manga, I didn't really get the impression that he died. He was just badly injured and Bishamon was crying because she had hurt her most precious Shinki and due to finally knowing the truth.

On why Kazuma's restriction didn't work on Kugaha: it'll be explained in the next episodes.

I'm so much more excited about Ebisu/Yomi arc! After all, Bishamon arc was just focused on Bishamon and her family, while Yato, Yukine and Hiyori felt like outsiders. But now it's time to find out more about Yato, Nora, the other Gods... if Bones keeps up the good work, the finale of this season should be epic!

Sad thing is that it seems Kugaha was actually thinking for the best of Bishamon in his on deranged way. I wonder what led him astray, Nora must've done something since she's a little manipulative cunt that just loves to screw people over.

I gonna be honest, I was really disappointed when Kugaha reveals to Bishamon that all the awful things that he did were for her own sake. I mean, after seeing Kugaha as a manipulative bastard who kill everyone with a smile in his face, that feels very bullshitty to me.
Seriously, if he didn't act like such an uncaring bastard when carrying out his plan then the big reveal would have come off a lot better. Felt like a 180 change in his personality. Seeing when he joined was nice though, probably one of the first in the Ha clan, I can understand his views a little better after that.

I still don't care for Bishamon, but I suppose this story had a lot of good points. Now moving on to the next one :v

That moment when the doc got his hand cut off and Yato was like what were you saying? xD Pay attention mommy?

Overall I really enjoyed this episode. Bishamon's regalias seemed to recover overly fast mentally. But that part where Kazuma hid his crying! =P Veena x Kazuma =P

Can't believe though Kuguha survived though =< After killing so many =(

On a side note that part where Bishamon was like, "Mina gomen ne" was so done so well. Could feel so much emotion from the VA. <3

Even with less bite, the episode is enjoyable, narrative shows the reasoned choices; who knows if we will review some characters. The dialogues are impressive, I do not think we can complain about, the same holds true for the drawings, animation and action scenes. Thickness of the soundtrack, the cliffhanger is interesting.

I'm glad that Bishamon has less shinki now. It makes it easier for her to manage the ones that are left and is less of a physical strain on her.

This was a weak finish to an otherwise great arc, this abrupt happy ending really just goes out of its way to demean the events prior. Especially with how aiha just gets a free pass despite being a leading cause for the deaths around her, i dont give a fuck if she feels bad or not or helped stop it shes still responsible. Kazuma's fake out death also just feels cheap

The arc is still good overall but this takes away points.

For real.. this Bishamon arc alone is already better than the entire season 1 and truthfully i really satisfied with it.. Maybe my only complaint in this arc was the exile punishment Kugaha.. Damn, he already do a horrible things but i guess exile was somewhat a light punishment compare to the damage that he cause.. also somewhat agree that the ending also a bit too "happy" for some horrible things that already happen in this past 3 episodes.. but aside of this minor things, i really liked and enjoy Bishamon Arc.. a solid 8/10 for me..

So we'll see another arc in these last 7 episodes and it's quality in on par with Bishamon arc? Well, if it's the case then i can't wait to watch the rest of it.. 5/5

"Pay more attention to me, Mommy"
Yato got him figured out, haha!

Was so excited when Yato cut his hand away/off, but was disappointed that's as far as he went. Although I guess getting removed from the family by his "momma" must be so much more painful. Good.
