| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Great episode. Not only the OST but the feelings that Yato put into his fight is worth watching. Shame this season doesn't have enough time to resolve the issue relating to Bishamon unlike the manga. Oh well.. Poor Hiyori :( Great OST still and the episode imo was quite action packed. I'm not a fan of this anime original character though. Still, this series was awesome. 8/10. Season 2 plz. Holy shit, Yato's blush. |

| Her soul can still get off from her body even though she doesn't have memory of them. He just went and broke the crystal that got her memory, so that Yato can return to the Yato he wants. So that's why he has a mask on that eye, which is a hole. She remembered them by his smell. The enemy just got defeated so fast. His body maintained like that with a spell? She doesn't want to cut the relations with them. |

| Good end... 7/10 It was a good adaptation, but the manga is still much better ;) |
| english isn't my native language... ;) |
| I hope for a second season. Mod Edit: Removed quote of deleted post. |

| Haven't seen an intense 1v1 sword fight like that in a while, nice job Bones My thoughts on this tiny arc can be boiled down to Rabo's a little on the predictable side but we got some great action in that ending Surprisingly, they decided to intertwine some of the conclusion to Veena's arc with Hiyorin wanting to be with Yato and Nora bringing up Father Hopefully there's more Kofuku-chan in the second OVA coming out later this year : P |

| This series should have at least 24/25 episodes... 12 isn't enough! Hope there will be second season! Really like this series! Great character, story, animation, cast, music... everything! Wish there was more... |
| That fight was good. And Hiyori got her memories back although she doesn't want to admit how she got it back lol. Good series overall. |
 |
| I think this was a great series overall. Some things felt a little rushed but i still felt that connection to the characters. Overall 9/10 |
| One of the best anime this season by far, the episode was really and the fight scenes were great, I hope they'll consider a 2nd season. |
| "Let justice be done, though the heavens fall." |
| I have to agree and say that I think that this is one of the best anime of this season. The ending was great! The fighting seemed kind of fast but I think they maintained it well for the last episode. Love the OST as usual! I hope for a second season! |
| "He is little, though braver than anyone else" |
| Definitely not disappointed, the entire show was definitely fun and awesome and Bones did a great job even in the anime original contents. Still, a little disappointed that instead of making this a 2 cour Bones would proceed on with shows like soul eater not and Captain Earth -_- both of which looks awfully bad IMO |
| *insert subjectively witty comment* |
| That was a good last episode the fight between Yato and Rabo was pretty damn cool also Im glad Hiyori got her memories back. Really hope that is a second season comes out soon. 9/10 |
| Second best show of the season, and best non-sequel show of the season. The "romantic" scenes were so adorable. Will leave score at a solid 8 for now. Anyway, onto points. Bad: I felt like the filler arc was kind of just there, without a purpose. Also, I didn't relate to any characters. Third, Yukine arc dragged on for too long. Ended up disliking his character all together. Last, lack of direction and also, lack of emotional impact on me - Didn't really get anything out of watching this show other than fancy fights, some interesting plot points and exciting action. Good: Great atmosphere building, solid characters, amazing OST, good at plot intertwining (aka adding subplots and big plots together) I'd be interested to see a second season. |
| Very good show, retains my 9 score of it. Not masterpiece level but did very well for what it was. The anime original ending was actually fine, it only confirmed that Yato was a god of calamity as originally predicted by some people. |
| Okay episode, but the overall series was pretty good. Hiyori hugging Yato was the best part for me. Wish this was 24 episodes. 8/10 for me. Hope to see a second season, and Yato vs Bishamon. |
 |
| Loved it. Pretty great ep for an anime original and kept it open so they can continue from where the manga adaption stopped :D Loved the sword fight animation. Was really good when Yato got pissed at crushing the sphere. Dem eyes!! SO DAMN BA!!! The HiyorixYato feels were so good this episode >.< OTP no doubt!! :3 How he was protecting her with his life was lovely :3 The way he was rubbing cheeks and hugging her while blushing and crying when she regained her memories [from his smell her fav smell :3] was so emotional <3 And at the end his blushing face when she said she wants to be with him 4ever. DAT BLUSH!!! Kofuku's reaction was XD And Yukine is jealous XD Lol'd at Yato getting shy and asking for 5 yen to make her wish come true. So cute <3 Anyway, definitely best anime of the season. The popularity spike this series made this season is really impressive :D Fully deserved too ^^ WHY NO ANNOUNCEMENT FOR S2 >.< |
 |
| Definitely one the best, if not the best of the season. 8/10 |
| Im gonna miss this anime mehhhh :( , but now its time to read the manga of noragami :D |
 |
| I think I expected too much,but still this series ended very good. I really enjoyed the original anime ending. I can't believe it ended actually,I'll miss Yato so much. 9/10. |
| Up to episode 9, I really liked this show. The last three episodes felt kind of lackluster but I guess they were okay given the circumstances. |
 |
| My favourite show of the season. Sad that it's over. Hopefully they make a second season. 9/10 |
| This final episode was great. I feared that it could have been something horrible but it was well done. The fight was amazing and Yato is the cutest chara of this season for sure^^ I want the second season so badly. It's shame if this ends just here. 9/10 for me, Noragami is my favorite anime of this season :D |
 |
| I demand for S2.... awesome anime... I love YatoxHiyori... |
     |
| Damn, great run for the season. Just love the balance of its comedy, action, and some dramatic moments in here. Pretty intense episode fighting against Rabo. Yay, Hiyori got her memories back and she will never leave Yato as her decision. Dem blushes :D. 9/10. This anime has potential, wished that it was 24 episodes. Aw well I will wait for a season 2 :D. |
| Pissed off Yato is not to be messed with. The ending theme really went well with all the playbacks of the anime season. Gonna hope for a season 2 now. Bishamonten arc would definitely be great in animation. |
| Epic fight and those OSTs... I will miss that :( |
 |
| I will miss that opening. |

| Well that was a nice finale, awesome fight scene and lot's of 'romance' like parts. Noragami 8/10. EDIT - Even if we don't get a second season, the manga's been licensed in English by Kodansha Comics so I'll get to see what's in store either way. |

| I'll miss the OP and Yato,but i hope for a season 2,and i think the chances are high. |
| Not completely meeting my expectations, but I loved this anime and this SCREAMS so much for a second season. Now I'll go off to read the manga asap~ |
| One of the best anime this season. But still, cause this season is full of crap, that's why Noragami gets to shine. Nothing much special but still the enjoyment factor is there. Right balance of comedy, action, adventure and a tad of romance. 9/10. |
- I've always... always been watching you... This whole time... Because you were there... That's why I was able to try hard. So you could have some balance! So you wouldn't treat me like a kid! So you would see me as an actual girl! Even while you were gone... You were right here! You were right here in my heart! |
| played it safe with this finale, but that's better then effectively closing off the canon. |
 |
| Loved it and I'm sad it's over however I'l a little disappointed that the last 3 episodes when anime original and that it's a short anime, this could easily be an entire manga adaption with 24-26 eps, let's hope Bones sees the anime was populair and they decide to make a second season :P |
 |
| Really nice fighting scene I hope it will sell well in Raponnnnnn, I want my second season . Even if the manga is excellent . |
| It did end with a happy end. I feared 12 episodes would run into a problem with the finale but honestly, it was timed pretty well. For an ongoing series in print, it wrapped itself up well. There was nothing more 12 more episodes would of added to this given it's start, pacing, and finale. I don't know if I want a second season. Nora's whole thing was to get Yato back to the way he was and worked with Rabo to try and achieve that. It failed. That is really the only thing left ongoing is Nora's malice as far as the anime is concerned. Can't complain too much about Noragmi. Yukine was a bitch at first and his self discovery took way to long to finalize. Yato x Hiyori is why I stuck with this. Challenging 7 or 8 to give. mayukachan said: Second best show of the season, and best non-sequel show of the season. The "romantic" scenes were so adorable. Will leave score at a solid 8 for now.

I did write out why but decided it wasn't worth it. Reading your pro vs con leaves me asking how this got a second best show (or the best non sequel or whatever). |
| This was a fun ride. Decent story, decent characters, pretty good soundtrack, good action. A season 2 is welcome in my book. 8/10 |
IZEROII said: This all confuses me. I did write out why but decided it wasn't worth it. Reading your pro vs con leaves me asking how this got a second best show (or the best non sequel or whatever). Because everything else was poor or average or just "good" this season. Or at least, some shows started out well then declined (Hamatora, Inakon, Mikakunin etc.), some shows stayed average throughout (Nisekoi, Nobunagun, Hoozuki etc.) and some shows got a bit better later on but were still not the best (Wizard Barr, Chuunibyou etc.) For me, Gin no Saji surpasses everything but it's a sequel so Noragami takes the spot for non-sequel. I can't say I enjoyed Noragami the most out of everything though. Like I said, I didn't get any emotional impact or character relating from this show. |
| Music was great. Action shined in this episode and the characters were memorable and lovable. Here's to hoping for a second season. I'll be catching up with the manga in the meantime :) |
 |
| It's been a while since I liked so much a sword fight. Great episode with great OST as usual. Definitely the best anime this season for me. It looks like I'm the only one that likes the original character Rabo, I wish he didn't die so we could see more of him on a following season. But yeah, I haven't read the manga and I also want more from Bishamon (I love her seiyuu and character). Very good. Very close to 10/10 for me, I loved every single episode and I'm eager to see/read more of Noragami. |
| One of the better shows of this winter season. 8/10 Here's hoping for a second season~ |

| Such a strong ending! The bit at the end was so cute!! Hope there's a second season but I don't really know if it's really needed. Most of the things were resolved in that episode |
| "Even if we lose by 100 points, there's still a chance a meteor will strike the other team's bench in the last second" - Kuroko Tetsuya |
| Not quite 10/10, but solid 9/10 for me. Second season plz. |

| There's so much left to cover D: I pray to the gods for a second season. Here's my 5 yen coin T.T I REALLY liked this anime. I'm going to start the manga soon. |
 |
| I really liked this one of the best this season, I'd love a second season. Giving it a 9/10. |
