| hm even though the sales for the anime are horrid. I guess the manga boost must be significant enough to justify more content. |
 |
| Great news, Love the anime :) |
 |
| It's an easter miracle! but no really, I thought sales for this were really bad and it was kind of amazing we got the second season at all, let alone another OVA. I'll take it though, I love Tomoe and Nanami. |
 |
| Oh Kamisama..... (ツ) though i'm quite interested in Tomoe's past arc... |
 |
| Ayy season 3 please! I know it is rare for a series to get more than 2 seasons.. but I still hope it will. |

| I really want to read this series and watch it but then again it sounds like generic shoujo. |
 |
| Yay! Knew it. Now please release season 3 soon! ;-; |
 |
| More Tomoe is always welcome |
 |
| I am now OK with this, since its branching away from being Inuyasha's carbon copy. Will watch! Wait, that past arc? How are they gonna smash that into an OVA? I thought they would leave that for S3. |

Like, the foundation of knowledge you'd need to impart to this person before you could even begin to drag them out of their sinkhole of ignorance would cost thousands of dollars, if it were coming from a University?" -MAL in a nutshell. |
| Yes my favorite arc!! :D |
| I hope they won't rush the whole arc, even though I didn't read the manga 3 volumes in two episodes isn't enough. |
| I'm learning English so maybe I make mistakes :) |
| Good news. More Kamisama Kiss always pleases me and I hope for a third season in the future. |
 |
| YYYYYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS |
| Stop the sequels high-ranking stupidity. Group franchises in Top Anime page. Because Gintama is just "one" anime and not 5. |
| This is great news. So glad that we get more of it. |
| 2nd season had 12 episodes, no? For a moment, I read it as "New Kamisama Hajimemashita season " but I guess not. Sigh, I like this series way too much now. Still, a 2-episode OVA sounds good. |
 |
| S1 had decent sales. It's S2 that dropped significantly. But still, manga sales is all that matter. |
 |
| Happy but i still want a season 3 >w< |
| I'm so happy to hear there's going to be an ova T.T I thought I wouldn't get to watch any more of this series. |
| Great news! Happy happy happy! |
| Yaay |
| HELL YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA |
 |
| Great news. |
 |
| Never expected to see more of this. Great news! Hoping we will get a season 3 despite its crap sales. |
| Nice :D Second season was getting pretty fun, wouldn't mind watching more. |
 |
| Yes, awesome news. |
 |
| Yayyayayay Moree tomoeee <3 cant wait loved both seasons really cute hoping for a season 3!! ^-^ |
 |
| YES I LOVE THIS ANIME I DONT KNOW WHY IT JUST REALLY GOT ME >.< |
 |
| Great news ^^ always welcome <3 |
 |
| Happy! Its always nice to have more of Kamisama! |
 |
| Yay~ If there does happen to be a third season, I wonder what/if there will be a different symbol or something else after Kamisama Hajimemashita. |

| Good news! |
 |
| Hopefully something happens this time. Enjoyed S2 but like nothing eventful happened. |
| Eh, I'll need to start on the first season soon.. |
 |
| Now may finally be the time to start watching the Kamisama Hajimemashita franchise... |
| I Knew it! YeSS!! |
 |
| Ohhh ohhh ohhhh that entire arc in an OVA?? I hope it's an OVA series like maybe two or three but even then, I'm a little worried. It's my favourite arc so I'm glad they're animating it but still, I really hope it's handled well... |
| Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaass <3 I was fearing for life I'd never get to see that arc animated. |
| おやすみ、おやすみ close your eyes and you'll leave this dream |
| with this lovely news, we shouldnt wait for 3rd season like 2 years...cause manga still havent big arc like this arc yet... |
| Huh, how are they going to fit that arc into an OVA? I can understand the marriage arc, but Tomoe's past?! Hopefully a cliffhanger ending and a season 3 announcement instead of rushing... Anywayyy, glad to see it animated! ^.^ |

| Great News! |
 |
| Great !! |
 |
| The OAD will obviously be more than 22 minutes of airtime as compared to each of the season episodes, so I'm pretty sure they can do it un-rushed. Besides, they can have more than 1 episode of OAD with 46 mins.-almost 3 hours each. The Past Arc is about 20 chapters or more, and adapting 4 volumes would take longer—all in all an estimate of 5 hours of anime if they do it without omissions and rushing. The Past Arc is the darkest and best arc of Kamisama, and I'm thrilled to see it animated. 😻 It's one of the arcs where it deviates from just being a "generic bubbly shoujo romance." There's quite some violence and gore in this arc, so having it as an OAD...they can escape with no censoring on the bloody parts. |
 "Belief is the death of intelligence." ~Robert Anton Wilson~ |
| Wow, past arc!! I can't wait for it. Maybe they will even continue if it sells well. I hope they can adapt the whole arc without changing or removing anything. |
| The cover of that volume already tells me to keep far away from this OVA. |
