| Those islanders really are so outspoken... I wasn't interested in all that drama but the jailer woman that appeared had my interest. Too bad this is the season finale. |
 |
| And so we end with finishing the merfolk incident and learning about Mogura's origins. I gotta say, this series was the surprise hit of the season for me. I loved the overall vibes this one was giving off. The character designs were unique and interactions were wonderfully mundane and realistic, but set in a supernatural setting. Mogura himself was one of the most likable protagonists I've seen in quite a long time. The subs called him affable in this finale, and it's a good way to put it. I'm not surprised this has such a low score and viewership number, it's decidedly un-flashy and easy to overlook, but it is unfortunate. I'm giving this a strong 8/10 as one of my favorites of the season, and I watched around 30 shows this season! I'd absolutely love to spend more time with these characters and see what comes next, but I don't think it's gonna happen if I had to guess. Ah well. |
| The show was better, when it was episodic. Last arc was too long too boring. 5/10. |
Well now I have more questions. The series focused on perspectives and on how things are perceived made the supernatural aspects interesting and Mogura's true nature certainly adds to that. |
| The island’s « royal family » got away lightly for what they did. Although I could understand why the old lady turned like that. And Yaeko’s « gift » to Yui was some petty revenge I did not expect from her. So Mogura is a fallen God, which I more or less expected, although we still don’t know what he did. Does his name means anything in particular or refers to some specific Japanese legend ? I rather enjoyed that show. It had a nice artstyle, some dry sense of humour, and interesting characters. Too bad the original manga is probably too obscure to ever get translated. |
| Another masterpiece this season, an interesting plot, engaging characters, and meaningful humor. The last arc, though long, was engaging, and the final mini-arc is a masterpiece, revealing who Mogura and Ukigumo are, and there's also the magnificent Kyoko, a wonderful wife. Chances are slim, but I really, really, really want a second season. |
| Overall, good show. I thought it was pretty interesting with a likable cast. Definitely doesn't deserve the score it has, but people on mal are notorious for bad taste, so scores don't matter anyway. Would enjoy a s2 I think, they can have plenty of interesting little stories and stuff while continuing to unravel a main narrative. |
 |
| Wow, Ukigumo the jailer lady - not only best girl, but also best character. |
| What a fantastic show this was. Eguchi Natsumi is such a terrific mangaka. Hoozuki got a number of seasons so I hope and pray this will get more too. |

@ShiroAlex It has high ratings in Japan, so there is a good chance of a second season. I would love to watch it and learn something new from the Kojiki myths, and I'm also curious to find out what the peach god did wrong.
| @evs38 I'm glad to hear that it's popular, but still, the god of peaches, I think he's Ookamuzumi-no-Mikoto, but in the series he's called Okamuzumi-no-yumi, I could be wrong. |
| The anime ended with lots of lore drops. It was a really fun watch. Hoping for a second season! |
  Imouto suki Tsundere-Chuuni-Imoutos save me...   |

@ShiroAlex yes, there are many questions about how a peach became an bow. Perhaps the bow is made from a peach tree to ward off spirits.
| @evs38 Yep, without more detailed background it’s hard to say, but I had an idea that this was a collective image of several gods, and not based on one, but this is only a version, and so there are more questions than answers. |
| The characters made this series for me. Sure the youkai interactions kept it moving, but every interaction had a charm and wit I don't feel often. I'm not shocked this isn't all that popular, but it's one of my top shows of the season. |
| And so the anime ended up adapting the first four volumes (plus the first chapter of volume five) of the manga. Fingers crossed for a second season. |
| Dunno why I don't enjoy this like the author's other work Hozuki. Mogura's leg is really strong to go up the hill with bicycle along with motorcycle lol. His skill with bow is also really good, scraping someone from far away is no small feat. Overall just decent. |
| Lol, He's actually a real God but his reaction just like "okay" XD |

| Such a good series. I really hope there will be a sequel eventually. |
| i really liked the show. nice insight into japanese folklore. i know it was a special part ofogura, just his voice was super flat even when he was screaming. but at the end he had his time to really shine. will somehow miss it. |
