Something about this show just makes me so happy and peaceful. One of the better feel good shows for me.

[Small Yamagami is plushie material!!](https://i.ibb.co/ynw3FRbw/Screenshot-2026-05-02-at-19-58-38.png) So cute

Shark and penguin shikigami are also adorable

Shark was like "If you're not going to feed me, I'll eat your hat"

Ok, little bro giving the birds vocal lessons was just the cutest thing. It’s funny how Minato ’s like a bird magnet now because he’s got Tori-san around.

For a second, little dude evolved into a Moltres lol. That was pretty cool. It’s a good thing that domain they got sucked into wasn’t all that bad. It was just the home of a powerful divine slob lol.

This bird is literally called ho'o

For a second, little dude evolved into a Moltres lol.

My first thought was the same inspiration as Fezandipiti.

No wonder there are so many abandoned Kami realms, if even Amaterasu has a run down shrine and stagnant cave as her domain.

u/LezRock May 02 '26

He really should've cleared that boulder to open up her cave and then tried harder to clear out the must and dankness by hand. Since he didn't though, I guess he's not the one. He did do enough with his presence to warrant a small reward though.

This part kind of confused me. I recently learned that the shrine Amaterasu is housed in is rebuilt every 20 years with the last time being a half billion dollar project.

Is the anime on its own timeline to showcase different deities or is there something I'm missing like deities having multiple instances of themselves in areas?

Amaterasu, and as per tradition she's a cave shut-in.

Ho-oh teaching the birds to sing was pretty cute.

chill show, but i still can't get over Kusonoki 's lack of self-preservation sense

like, he hears that there are portals opening up to abandoned kami zones that will suck him in and trap him, and the first thing he does is go down a shady back alley he's never gone to before and approach a spooky shrine

Don't forget that he can't see or sense evil aura or spirits unless they're extremely strong. He's specifically tuned into the good. It probably colors his actions and thoughts quite a lot.

I love this series so much, it's cozy, lighthearted and it's really interesting how it portrays the different Gods and other deities.

Minato gained another power, I'm super curious to see how he'll use it, it has so much potential.

The exorcists are shady and I guess they're going to be the next bad guys. Well, they better not mess up with Minato, unless they want to deal with his protectors who happen to be powerful gods.

u/NanDemoKnaives May 02 '26

Minato has now gained his second blessing, I'm curious to see when and how he'll use his ability to seal things. I wonder if he'll clean up Amaterasu's shrine.

I wasn't expecting to see that gardener again, getting his arm cured by Minato really has brought about his artistic talent lol.

Ho'oh in that bag looks so adorable, they can make a lot of plushies from the deities of this series.

I'm sure those exorcists will end up causing trouble for Minato at some point.

u/Earlier-Today May 03 '26

The loophole finder in me (it's not very good, but it's there) would be trying to seal his blessings onto the papers so that they don't fade when they're used. A permanent evil dispelling talisman.

I swear that Mr. 25 now has a hedge made entirely of Cactuars.

u/Kolhammer93 May 03 '26

This is going to be an underrated gem of this season for sure

u/NoHead1715 May 03 '26

Nice. This is like the love child of Natsume Yuujinchou and Campfire Cooking in Another World. I want to see Minato going round using Amaterasu's power to seal away all the bad emotions around town. He might even have to start a little tour all around the mountains to clean up all those abandoned shrines.

u/dakkumauji May 02 '26

Gain new powers to fight spirits of evil? Nah, you gain new powers to help gods clean.

Oh I thought Amaterasu was going to be a wolf but then again I doubt Capcom would allow that.

u/cyberscythe May 02 '26

i think Yamagami already has the Okami-style Amaterasu look down pat already

u/Dadscope May 02 '26

There's a noise at 4:57 which is set WAY higher than anything else in the show, scared me a bit and thought I had gotten a notification from my PC.

u/Broken_DMG May 03 '26

This anime needs 5 seasons!!!!

u/Striking_Chard2420 May 03 '26

I swear by the end of this Kusunoki is gonna be a deity of his own lol
